A Dripless Eave 

 That Evens Up the Drip 



Here we are, talking: (Irii)less eave ayaiii. 

 Talking it. because tliere lias been a lot 

 of talking about it that's not so. And 

 a whole lot that is exactly so. 

 Tjct's take the not-so's first. 



[t has l)een stated that "the drip won't 

 always follow down the curve of the 

 fascLa on to the side sash, and so on 

 down to the sill." Our reply to which 

 is: sometimes both automobiles and 

 folks get moody and won't do what 

 they ought to do. 



Hut water has a way of always acting 

 exactly like water. The fact that it 

 runs downhill is as well established 

 as that it's wet. 



That eave fascia runs downhill just 

 enough, and is just the right slia|)e. so 

 that water clings to it, and runs down 

 and off on the glas>. 



As long as llic cave remains a well 

 behaved e;ive. and does not turn a som- 

 ersault or >taiid (III its head, the drii» 

 will not drip; it will run. 



Another thing the drij) is supposed to 

 do, when yuur back i> turned, is start 

 going uphill and work its way back 

 behind tiie plate and start rotting out 

 the fa^cia .lu>t one little look at the 



That's exactly what we said; it's 

 so doggoned simple that there's 

 nothing to it. Still, it does what 

 some other lhing.-< do sometimes 

 and sometimes don't. Therefore! 



fascia will show you the boyishness of 

 such a statement. It will no more go 

 wandering around behind that fascia, 

 than it will any other - which up to 

 date has never caused any serious rot- 

 ting, so far as we have ever heard. 



The only trouble witii this dripless eave 



of ours is, it's too simple. 



It's so simple it just doesn't seem so. 



It's so simple, there is so little to talk 



about, that a fellow looks at it and kind 



of thinks he isn't getting much. 



But it isn't what you get, that counts 



so much, as what it does. 



The fact that it does not drip on the sill, 

 and sitlasli on your walks and plants, 

 is about all you can expect. 



Furthermore, there is nothing to clog up. 

 Nothing to sag and run over. 

 Nothing to rust out. 



Our dri|»less eaves will be doing their 

 driples> job as long as a Hitchings 

 House will be a house; which is so long 

 it niake> one wrinkled, old and graj 

 even to think of it. 



And yiiu know we go any where for busi- 

 ness. 

 Or to tiilk business.
