Every hardware dealer knows of the want of something, to create a better draft in low or poor drawing chimneys and to stop stove or grate from smoking, caused by the wind and storm blowing down the chimney.

We furnish iron mountings only packed , 6 set irons complete in wood box. In each box we put pattern [?] for making cover and [?]. Any tinner can make them. The are effective, simple and durable. They adjust with the slightest pressure of wind. The winds blowing past the sides creates a suction drawing smoke and soot out. They don't choke up with soot, like stationary ventilators. They make also a good weather vane.
