some cold facts for hot weather 



study this picture closely, then stay with these ten cold facts 

 a while— they're simply some Whys and Wherefores of the AGMCO 

 Sash Bar Clasp, 



1. A bar clasp that does not hold the bar securely on three sides and the end is a 

 poor design. We know there is a strain on every house endways, and a bracket 

 that merely acts as a rest for the bar is unsafe. It is not a bar clasp— it's a 

 bracket. 



2. It must be bolted on to the gutter or eave or it is not in place to stay. What 

 slips on slips off. 



The bolts must be galvanized if they are to last because these bolts are in a bad 

 place where the rusting is quickest and where strength is needed most. 



The bolts must be as durable as the clasp or the eave or the gutter. If the ma- 

 terial is H inch thick the bolt must be no less. 



The bolts must be of sufficient size to carry any load that the bar must carry. 

 A certain area of metal ii needed and we know what it is. 



There must be two bolts. One bolt allows too much play and twist and event- 

 ually the bar is loosened, your house leaks and tha wooden bar rots. 



It must be ieak-proof on the end without the use of a plug of putty and white 

 lead. Such brackets won't stay tight. How are yours made? Get out and look. 

 Where the bolts go through the gutter there must be no opening for water in or 

 out. We use lead washers in a different way from all others — the only right 

 way. It's a feature of our bar clasp. 



It must give the end of the bar a solid rest, but so arranged that there will be no 

 moisture collecting at this point. It's taken care of in a novel way in the 

 AGMCO clasp. 



The drip grooves in the bars must be unobstructed clear down to the end. so that 

 condensation falls directly out of the end of the groove. No dirt or spider webs 

 can clog our drip groove at this important point.
