LOOK at the wheels of a bicycle — see what slender little, wire-like 

 siDokes they have — yet what strong, sturdy wheels they are. Surely 

 no one would think of going back to the clumsy, old wooden spoked 

 wheel. 



Did you ever stop to think how like the bicycle wheel, U-Bar green- 

 houses are? 



No heavy wooden roof bars or large iron framing members — but in their 

 place a complete, all steel frame of U-Bar as light and strong in pro- 

 portion as are the bicycle spokes. 



The cypress core bar is steeped in a chemical preservative before it is 

 placed in the U-Bar. 



The galvanized steel U-Bar completely protects the core bar from the 

 inside moisture of the house. 



The drip does not drip. It follows dcfwn the bottom of the U-Bar, to the 

 purlin lead-offs, or to the cast iron sill. No drip grooves to get 

 stopped up. 



Then there's the curved eave — everybody knows the U-Bar curved eave 

 was the original curved eave. It is admitted to be the most practical 

 and attractive of all the curved eaves. 



No reinforcements of the curved parts of the U-Bar are needed — no 

 heavy iron members to break the view from the inside looking out; or 

 sliow a heavy line from the outside, looking in. 



There's only one U-Bar curved eave, and that's the eave made with the 

 U-Bar. 



Others may look like it, but that's the only way they are like it. 

 We tell you these things as a matter of protection to yourself. 

 If you want the finest greenhouse sold today, for private estates, public 

 institutions or florist show houses — you want the U-Bar. 

 See to it that you get it.
