AND 



RIGHT FIT or 

 TIGHT FIT 



There is an advantage 

 in knowing your busi- 

 ness, for instance, the 

 heating question : a lot of people think they 

 know a good bit about it and tell you the 

 greenhouse men are robbing you. And some- 

 times you believe it, so in goes a tight fit 

 boiler and piping — that just does your work 

 and no margin. When a cold snap comes you 

 have to crowd your boiler — and be on the 

 anxious seat 'till the mercury lets up. You 

 have burned more coal and got less results for 

 what you burned. Your boiler has been over- 

 worked and that is no good thing for any boiler. 

 We know greenhouse heating thoroughly, and 

 refuse to skimp the boilers or radiation. That 

 means you pay a right price for the right thing 

 — and no more. Get in touch with us.

The point is this: Here is a house that you can stand outside of and have an almost unobstructed 

 view of what is inside — that means there are no heavy structural hindrances to obstruct your view. 

 By the same token, all possible light reaches the plants. No gutter at eaves— light supppoiting 

 members — and wide glass spacing only will give such growing results as U Bar houses hold the 

 record for. Get to know the U-Bar con-truction whys. The catalog points them out — besides it's 

 interesting reading. Plerson U-Bar Company, Designers and Builders U-Bar Greenhouses,
