HEADER FACT5 



You know that it is not safe con- 

 struction to depend on a couple 

 of nails, toed into the header, to 

 hold the bars. 



The same roof bar brackets that 

 are such stiffeners on our eaves, 

 we also use at the header. 

 An angle purlin stiffens the cy- 

 press header, which is grooved 

 for the glass, and milled with a 

 drip gutter. 



Other construction facts shown 

 in new circular — send for it.

What Are 



AboMt Sash This Year? 



Going to keep on spending your money for 

 the open mortise kind that are a few cents 

 cheaper, and which in a short time go all to 

 pieces — or will you invest in the L & B 

 kind, made with blind mortises, snug, 

 weather-proof joints and round iron tie rod 

 — the Sash That Last? Saw some of these 

 L & B sash at Stamford, Conn, last week, 

 that are thirty- three years old, and apparent- 

 ly good for years yet. How is that for last- 

 ing? Send for our Sash Circular and prices.

LAST WEEK AND WEEK BEFORE 



We talked with you about two propositions where ground space was limited and the very 

 lightest possible greenhouse was necessary, because the nearby buildings would somewhat 

 shade them — and so just because it is the lightest house, the U-Bar was chosen. 

 Now here is another case in the same City, where space was not a question — there was 

 plenty — but attractiveness was decidedly important. 



You see the greenhouses are one of the most prominent features of the layout and are con- 

 nected direct to the dwelling by a loggia, that is glass enclosed during the coldest months. 

 And so once more the U-Bar construction was chosen. 

 Seems to us you never sent for that catalog — did yon?
