 BETWEEN BAR AND PLATE 



ORIP OPENING 



The Courts Decide that We have Exclusive 



to Use this Eave Plate, 



Right 



The following is a news item that appeared 

 in the florist papers of last week. It states 

 the situation so clearly that we reprint it as 

 follows : 



"In a recent decision handed 

 down by the judges of the U. S. 

 Circuit Court — the court of last 

 resort in patent cases — the Bum- 

 ham patent, No. 583247, was 

 sustained. This decision main- 



tains Lord & Burnham Co.'s 

 right to the exclusive use in 

 greenhouses of their galvanized 

 ice clearing angle iron eave plate, 

 which has so long been one of 

 the features of their construction. 

 This decision applies alike to the 

 regular angle plate, the Z-Bar 

 plate, or any modification of the 



original plate now licensed to be 

 used by the Lord & Burnham Co. 



"Such a decision, we under- 

 stand, not only affects any 

 manufacturer using: the plate 

 for srreenhouses, but] renders 

 liable the owners] of such 

 gfreenhouses as w,el][." 



House of a Boston Market Grower who says 

 this heavy ice clogrtring: wooden plate was good 

 enough for his father, and it's good enough for 

 him. 



Same house taken next day after snow had 

 thawed and formed a beautiful curtain of ice. It 

 hung there for over a week and when it did let 

 loose much glass was broken.
