The "One Lunger" Against a Six Cylinder 



An Automobile Comparison 

 With A Greenhouse Moral 



UPPOSE it were possible to pick out the 

 six best separate concerns in' the country, 

 each making the best of each kind of 



greenhouse material ; and then move their 



factories and entire working force and managers 

 to either of our factory grounds at Ivington, N. Y., 

 or Des Plaines, 111. 



Suppose it were possible to bring such to- 

 gether under our well organized watchful 

 management ; a cypress mill ; an iron foundry ; a 

 heating, fitting and boiler foundry; a ventilating 

 factory ; a paint and putty mill, and lastly a group 

 of greenhouse construction and heating engin- 

 eers and mechanical draftsmen, the best the 

 country afforded. 



Suppose, it were possible to do such a stupen- 

 dous thing: wouldn't you at once recognize the 

 tremendous advantage it must be, to do business 

 with such a wonderful concern; who manufac- 

 tured for themselves everything that goes into 

 a greenhouse, excepting only the glass ? 

 Of course you would! 



You would at once see the money saving 

 advantage of being able to buy all your material 



from the one highly responsible concern. You 

 would also be keen to take advantage of putting 

 the entire responsibility up to them for the 

 entire house, instead of dividing it among six 

 different concerns all over the country. 



All of which would be highly endorsing Lord 

 & Burnham, for that's exactly what this con- 

 cern is — 



A combination of six factories, mill? and 

 foimdries and an engineering concern, all in the 

 one factory under the one skillful management. 

 Each one of these six separate "departments,"" 

 as we call them, have their own separate man- 

 ager or head. Any one of these departments is 

 larger than any one single concern in the 

 country. Each of the six departments work 

 with and for every other department in pro- 

 ducing the entire materials for your house. 



It's just like a fine big well oiled six cylinder 

 automobile working smoothly, riding easily and 

 getting you there safely and surely in the short- 

 est time and by the smoothest roads. 



Wouldn't you rather ride in this 6 cylinder car 

 of ours, than in a "one lunger?"
