The Frame of Our Iron Frame 



\' know that it takes miirh more strength to 

 liold a weiLTlit out at arm's Jenytb. straight 

 from your shoulder, than it does when held 

 ilosor to your body. 



[Tow :iltog:ether reasonable it is to apply the 



same principles to framing a greenhouse! 



Our method of iron framing is based on that 



same principle of placing the supporting members in 



such a way that the load is distributed and eased up, 



so that tht're are no excessive strains on the columns. 



Trussing — unless it is the conipressiou type — we protest 

 against using. 



Look at this .-(."j-foot house above and compare its ex- 

 treme simplicity nf compression framing with other 

 houses cf similar widths; and you surely must be 

 imi>ressed witii the advantages of surh simplicity in 

 construction.

Weeing how attractive and practical this arrangement is, do you wonder why THE LUTTON PATENT 

 '^ CURVED EAVE method has changed Greenhouse Construction during the past few years ? The result 

 has been the most successful house that can be produced ; the other concerns who had been producing the same 

 antiquated buildings for years had to simply destroy their patterns as well as their catalogues and start anew, just 

 ask some of our imitators to show you some of their curved eave houses built before THE LUTTON PATENT 

 was granted, you will then be convinced that you had better consult with me.
