AND 



THERE ARE MANY 

 SERIOUS THINGS 

 TO CONSIDER 



none are as serious as 

 durance. These two things we have 

 worked out, hand in hand — every 

 time our construction has been made 

 more enduring, a lighter house has 

 also resulted. The best example of 

 this was when we designed our Half 

 Iron Frame house and did away with 

 that heavy wooden plate with nailed 

 on roof bars, and substituted the Steel 

 Eave and Roof Bar Brackets that de- 

 crease the shade by fully two thirds 

 and add wonderfully to the life of the 

 house. If you want to spend your 

 money for a construction that lasts — 

 here it is. Write us

SAVING OR LOSING 

 GAME— WHICH? 



WE have just had out attention called to a man who 

 saved S50.00 because he followed certain direc- 

 tions in putting up his greenhouse. Now, here is 

 the other side of the question. The directions were all 

 right, but among the materials employed, were wor.den 

 eave plate and nailed-on sash bars. Now you know and 

 we know that sucha construction will soon 

 need many times that $50.00 for repairs. 

 Put this point in your construction note 

 book for all time. The eave should be the 

 strongest point in any construction, and 

 wood to wood joints at condensation points 

 are absolutely fatal 



Our Ice Clearing Eave Plate and Gal- 

 vanized Sash Bar Clasps guarantee a dry 

 joint and a stay put, solid as a rock 

 eave. The moral is — when a man tells you he has saved 

 S50.00, be sure that it has not cost him $150.00 to do it. 

 You will want to know more about this eave plate. We 

 have a snappy little circular that tells it. 



We make every part of a greenhouse 

 but the glass. We sell any part.

This is more than a beautiful picture, it is a proof of the possibilities of greenhouses with the U-Bar 

 beauties of lines. An argument for the curved eave, light corslruction and wide glass spacing. 

 No man of exquisite taste, combined with practicalness, is going to place his greenhouses on the 

 garden terraces and connect them by a pergola, as in this instance at Rochester, if the construction 

 does not bear the ear maiks of superiority from every point of view. The catalog tells more about 

 this particular proposition. Send for it. Plerson U-Bar Company, Designers and Builders
