AND 



WHAT WE ARE 

 GOING TO DO 



It is like this : John 

 Jones puts up a cer- 

 tain kind of construc- 

 tion, and Brown, his 

 neighbor, takes Jones' advice and follows suit. 

 Now Jones may know the right construction, 

 and he may not, — how is Brown to tell ? Why 

 not give Brown a series of talks on a construc- 

 tion that has rigidly stood time's test, and let 

 him be so thoroughly posted that Jones or any 

 other man cannot lead him astray? Exactly 

 what we are going to do the first issue in Nov- 

 ember, and continue every week until you and 

 Brown know our Half Iron or the Iron Frame 

 Construction, to its every detail. Then it will 

 be up to you to choose. If you don't want to 

 wait until then, write to us now.

 Ventilation is Our £n- 

 cased Self-Oiling Gear 



Not that a self-oiling gear 

 is new, but our way of 

 making it is. We will tell 

 you two of its strong points, 

 and then want you to write 

 for a full description of the 

 rest, with a price. 



One strong point is the 

 sijiiare bearing shaft which 

 makes slipping absolutely 

 impossible, no matter how 

 heavy the work.

Here it is, end on — and that is the way to get the full beauty and va'ue of that curved eave. No, 

 we are wrong there, for the most convincing way is to go inside a gutter-eave house and then in a 

 U-Bar House, with its clean sweep of glass from ridge to sill. The comparison is instructive. It's 

 just the sunniest, best growing proposition in greenhouse construction, and we stand ready to show 

 you we mean exactly what we say. Write, or let us send catalog. Plerson U-Bar Company,
