THE DISCRIMINATING BUYER 



should appreciate the value of the fine points in good 

 construction. Here are some of the fine points in the 

 construction of GARLAND Trussed Iron Frame Houses 



The Garland Semi-malleable Cast-iron Gutter and Drip Conductor is 

 used in all our Iron Frame construction. The Garland Semi-malleable Cast- 

 iron Eave and Drip Conductor is the only cast-iron eave on the market 

 today. Both the gutter and the eave carry a continuous glazing strip and 

 glass stop, as well as a large drip conductor. The wooden rafters are 

 secured to gutters and eaves by brass screws. 



The Ridge Casting is made of the best grade of iron and is so con- 

 structed that it not only serves as a lock joint for the T-iron rafter, but also 

 serves as an excellent support for the ridge. 



The Angle Iron Purlin is securely 

 of a small section of angle and four 

 is punched for glass spacing. Rafters 

 brass screws and not clips. The T-iron 

 house structures. The T-iron has a 



angle becau 



fastened to the T-iron rafter by the use 

 machine bolts. All angle iron purlin 

 are fastened to purlin by means of 

 rafter is best adapted for steel green- 

 great advantage over the flat bar or 

 se of its shape, and is therefore better 



able to resist buckling than other shapes of steel of like weight and size. 



The Post Top, made of best grade of iron, holds the T-iron rafter in its 

 socket joint and supports the gutter or eave plate. It is threaded to receive 

 the post, making a solid joint throughout. The casting is counter-bored, so 

 that thread is protected from corrosion. 



The Cast-iron Down Spout is used for draining the roof water and con- 

 J sists of as many pieces of 4-inch cast-iron pipe as are needed and a 4- inch 

 double hub cast-iron tee. Note that the drip conductor and pipe is tapped, 

 into which nipples are screwed. Drainage of drip conductor 

 is thus secured by connecting the nipples with a short piece 

 of hose. Downspouts may be placed at any position or 

 number of positions desired in the run of gutters. All 

 downspouts are arranged to come inside the house. 



The Cast-iron Footpiece not only serves as a good foot- 

 ing for the post, but also protects the post from corrosion. 

 The Garland Cast-iron Footpiece is cheap insurance for your 

 houses.
