IT* IC UICI I TA IfKlAlI/ ALL THE MINOR DETAILS OF THIS 

 I I lO WlLL 1 U IMlUW CREENHOUSE BUILDINC MATTER 



You receive the materials; your house is completed, satisfactory. You have a conviction that the thing is going to 

 last You liked the way everything went together perfectly, and no alterations to nm up expense, but you did not stop 

 to think what endless PARTICULARITIES at the factory such a result meant. Take as an example the matter of paint- 

 ing vou'll admit that a good prime coat is the basis of all lasting painting. You perhaps also know that cypress will 

 absorb more oil than any other wood! Now if you just brush a coat on, the oil is at once absorbed, leaving the wood cov- 

 ered with a chalky ready to rub off pigment, — the next coat only repeats the result. Take a good look at this illustra- 

 tion see how we dip straight into a reservoir of paint EVERY' PIECE, letting it SOAK UP the oil; each piece is then 

 stood up to drip off (not brushed off). Another point to fix in your mind; — the ends— where the joints come,— are by this 

 method just as thoroughlv protected. Now after all this care, we give it a good coat of brushed on oil and lead.
