OUR. CAST IRON 

 CENTRE GUTTERS 



Not cast of brittle stove plate iron — but 

 high grade, tough iron. Are not crcoked 

 — are cast smooth and straight. 

 Lengths of 8 feet 4 inches, making it 

 necessary to use only half the posts re- 

 quired with the shorter gutters that are 

 on the market. 



Every gutter of ours is equipped with 

 roof bar brackets which stiffen the roof 

 and prevent bar end rot. 

 Wiite for pric»s.

A L€a]n=to HoMse 

 Is Cheaper To BiiiiM In 



For example, il you have a retaining wall or 

 building with a southern exposure, against 

 which you can build the lean-to, the expense 

 of the north side is done away with. 

 There was a root cellar wall here which 

 was carried up a few feet to give height 

 enough for the right roof slant. It is 50 

 feet long and has two benches. 

 It is Sectional Iron Franne Construction 

 which is a guarantee for its lightness and 

 durability. Built with our Curved Eave 

 they make decidedly good looking houses. 

 Whether you want a lean-to, or whatever 

 kind of house you want, it's good business 

 sense to have us fill your want.

ABOUT ITS RIGIDITY 



A house may be rigid to start with, but will it stay 

 rigid — which is the same thing as asking, is it 

 enduriog ? 



Listen : All cypress core bars are dipped in a 

 chemical preservative, and the portion exposed to 

 the moisture of the house is incased in steel — every 



roof bar then becomes a rigid rafter— resulting in 

 increased strength and decreased shade. Just as a 

 circular piece of pipe is stronger than a square one, 

 so is a U-Bar curved eave stronger than one spliced 

 at that point. It is undoubtedly the house of 

 greatest endurance and greatest lightness. 



The ideal construction for private estates, parks, public institutions and florists' showrooms.
