CONSIDERING the great Importance of an easy 

 working, effective ventilating apparatus, it 

 has long been a great reflection on green- 

 liouse concerns that some form of apparatus has 

 not been evolved, that would do the work more 

 satisfactorily. 



The main trouble seems to have been that each 

 concern was endeavoring to make its own type of 

 apparatus meet all kinds of problems. One that is 

 entirely satisfactory on short or medium length 

 runs is often a profanity provoker on long runs. 



Every one of our salesmen is instructed not to 

 advise runs of ridge sash longer than 50 or 60 

 feet, when operated from the end by the one re- 

 volving shaft gear. Beyond that length you have 

 not only shifting of the shaft to contend with, but 

 the friction in the bearers, which is no small item. 



You and I can put our shoulders against a load 

 and push it along, which we could not possibly lift. 



This being so, why not apply the same principle 

 to a vent apparatus? The revolving shaft appar- 

 atus has to lift the dead weight. So we developed 

 one that moved back and forth instead of turning 

 around. It takes advantage of the push and pull 

 principle instead of the dead load lift. 



As a result, we have an apparatus that will oper- 

 ate runs in lengths up to 250 feet or more of side 

 sash and do it with perfect ease. No matter 

 whether the gear is placed at the extreme end or 

 the middle of the run. 



We believe you will find that Ilitchings have the 

 right answer to a lot of ventilation troubles. One 

 thing sure, if we say our apparatus will do a cer- 

 tain thing a certain way, it will do it, or it doesn't 

 cost you a cent; which only gets right back to the 

 point that you can depend on depending on Hitch- 

 ings. And remember "we go anywhere for busi- 

 ness. Or to talk business."
