The QARLAND GUTTER did the worlc 



An iron gutter not only clears your houses of snow in less than 1/3 of the time a wooden gutter 

 will, but prevents glass breakage at gutter. 



Iron absorbs sufficient heat from the house to keep it continually thawed, consequently no Ice can 

 form on gutter, therefore no breakage from that source. This point is demonstrated by the freedom from 

 ice and snow on the sidewalks, when wooden sidewalks are heavily coated. Immediately after a fall 

 of snow, melting at the ridge sets in, and the water, running down to the wooden gutter, freezes fast, 

 forming a ridge over the first pane of glass and preventing the snow from sliding down. With iron 

 gutters the conditions are reversed, the snow melting first in gutter, keeping the sides smooth, so that 

 the snow can readily slide down to the gutter and pass off in the form of water in the coldest weather, 

 thus relieving the house of snow and exposing the glass to the action of the sun in 1/3 of the time, 

 which is an important factor when sunlight is at a premium.
