Where We Standi 



On Our Wind-Resisting 



Iron Frame Construction 



JUST after the big western blow 

 that laid low so many houses, 

 an adTerti^5ement appeared in 

 the P^lorist magazines stating 

 that "All concerns have had 

 some of their houses blown down 

 sometime." 



Wo ^\■ant to flatly contradict such a 

 st;i1t"infnt. because never, to our 

 kiiowliMlKc. in our long years of 

 greenhouse building has any of our 

 iron frame houses been blown down. 

 They have been up against many 

 big blows too. 



For example: one of our representa- 

 tives has just returned from Omaha, 

 Nebraska, where the recent wind, 

 although it blew the glass out of a 

 range of our houses and broke 

 some of the wooden roof bars, still 

 the iron frame-work itself, stood 

 tliorc unharmed. 



Directly attached to it, were several 

 houses, not our construction, which 

 the wind tumbled over and made 

 kindling wood of. 



We tell you these things, not in an 

 attempt to profit by less experienced 

 Arms' misfortunes, but as a conclu- 

 sive bit of evidence, that our con- 

 structions are based on an accurate 

 knowledge of stress and strain and 

 the safe way of providing for them. 



As staunch and strong as our stan- 

 dard iron frame house is, we believe 

 our New Cantilever construction to 

 be still stronger although fewer col- 

 umns and rafters are used. 

 Send for our commercial iron frame 

 catalog and go carefully Into the de- 

 tails of our various constructions. 

 Then and not till then are you in a 

 position to buy intelligently. 



The houses still standing are of Hitchings Iron Frame Construction
