THE TEvST 

 PRACTICAL 



The practical part is this : to manufac- 

 ture materials only, is one thing, but to 

 prove their defects by erecting them 

 A LSO, is quite another. We both manu- 

 facture and erect our own materials, 

 which gives us every chance to see de- 

 fects and make improvements. The 

 question is do you or do you not want the 

 up-to-date enduring construction? If 

 you do, then get into communication 

 with us.

It's good to have in a convenient form bits of information 

 that will help you in making up your mind — AND YOUR 

 ORDER — tor a greenhouse. 



Cypress is furnished in even foot lengths only. For in- 

 stance, a 20 foot wide house, having roof built with the . 

 usual pitch, requires a roof bar 12 ft. long. Figure it this 

 way: For every additional 2 ft. of roof bar the width of 

 house is increased 3 ft. 4 in. Thus a 14 ft. bar would make 

 a house 23 ft. 2 in. wide. This rule applies to all bars up 

 to 20 ft. long. Now when you come to buy your materials 

 it's a satisfaction — and a saving — to know that you HAVE 

 AN ESTIMATE THAT COVERS EVERYTHING, 

 GUARANTEEING YOU against a series of vexatious de- 

 lays — those extra expenses that creep up before you know 

 it and pull your first year's profits down. 

 An estimate we submit, will completely cover the entire 

 proposition. You won't have a lot of "left-outs." You 

 can be sure of being sure. It's just so much insurance.

From the Inside— Out 



You know there is not a house built today, 

 no matter what the construction, that has 

 the extreme lightness, beauty and prac- 

 ticalness of our U-Bar Curved Eave. 

 Just look at this side view I You never 

 saw anything liKe it in any other house I 

 It is the patented U-Bar Construction that 

 makes such an interior possible. At no 

 points are there heavier roof supporting 

 members than you see right in this interior, 

 and all these are galvanized steel, alu- 

 minum finished. 



If you want a house that you can show to 

 your friends with the satisfaction of know- 

 ing it is the lightest and most attractive, 

 ■'the best there is" then the U-Bar is the 

 house for you. 

 It might be well to drop us a line at once.
