This Everlasting Pounding 



on our mateiials — our greenhouses, has but 

 one thing in view — we want you to want our 

 materials — our houses, and there's only one 

 way to keep acquainted and that's to keep 

 after you and after your order. We don't 

 want one order only, but also the next one. 

 We know we won't get the next one if the 

 first is not all we say — that's why we build 

 so good a house — the reason you are sure of 

 pleasant desling.

This is a gable of one of Robert Simpson's 

 houses. It is the Sectional Iron Frame Con- 

 struction. Let us tell you about the interesting 

 details of this construction as used in these 

 houses.

WHY THE U=BAR WINS 



If you would just take the time to go and see a U-Bar house and talk with a U Bar gardener, then you would 

 appreciate how downright truthful we are in saying it is the lightest, most productive house built. 



The main structural point of the U-Bar house is the combining of the rafter and roof bar in one, making the 

 U-Bar. This combination is no larger than the single roof bars used in other houses. It does away entirely with the 

 heavy iron supporting members, and makes possible the only successful curved eave. 



The glass is spaced 24 inches Instead of 16. 



The core bar is soaked in a chemical preservative, before putting it in the galvanized steel U-Bar casing. 



All iron parts are painted with a special aluminum finish which remains bright for years without attention. 



To sum it up then — the U-Bar is indisputably the highest type of greenhouse construction. The ideal con- 

 struction for private estates, parks, public institutions and florists' showrooms. Send for the catalog,
