Another 

 Particularity 



We told you a week before the 

 Carnation Number about our 

 " soak in " method of priming 

 our greenhouse materials, but 



we didn't say all we should about the value of the ends soaking up the paint too. Paint is not 

 merely a matter of decoration, it's a preservative ! 



Then by our method every part of the wood is protected with a preservative. Preserva- 

 tion first, decoration afterwards ! Now you can't get around the point that the best materials 

 possible will make poor enough houses if not handled the best possible. 



The life of your house, its freedom from repairs, depends on starting right 



It costs, this starting right, but it costsja lot more if you don't start 



right. It costs all through the life of your house. Send for'Catalogue J-G.
