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.

Here's a house 18 ft. wide and 50 ft. long with 

 two compartments. You see the shingle sides 

 are substituted for the usual masonry foundation, 

 which of course makes a less expensive job but 

 quite .14 attractive. There are many little wrin- 

 kles we can point out to you to bring your house 

 within a certain limited expenditure. None tf 

 these wrinkles however will in any way affect 

 either the superior growing qualities or endurance 

 of the house. It will be our sectional iron frame 

 construction just the same. The best thing for 

 you to do, is get in touch with us.

ABOUT ITS ERECTION 



Taken side by side, with conditions equal, the U-Bar house can be erected with least trouble and 

 greatest speed. Look at a U-Bar house and it is plain enough why — rafter and roof bars combined in 

 one — the entire frame reduced to a mere web —no complicated fittings to bolt up — one third less 

 glazing to do. because the glass is spaced one third wider — simply straight away work frorh start to finish. 

 If yours is a case where time counts and where greatest endurance and highest productiveness are require- 

 ments, then send for a catalog and get in immediate touch wiih us
