Our 



Shadeless Widire 

 Type of House 



Its advantage is, none of the benches are shaded 

 by the ridge. 



This section is the 53-ft . Sectional Iron Frame 

 house we furnished Mr. Fred Burki this season. 

 His location on a side hill gives him a grade of 

 about 5 feet in fifty. 



Robert Simpson built his two 30 x 465 feet houses 

 on the level, and graded them inside to meet his 

 particular ideas. 



Here then are examples of medium and wide 

 Shadeless Ridge houses of our Sectional Iron Frame 

 Construction. Each owner declares that they are the 

 houses of the future, no matter what you want to grow. 



If you are going to build, think these things over 

 and get in touch with us.

TAKE THE RIGIDITY QUESTION 



You might think on first glance that a house so light, so airy and simple in its construction could 

 not be rigid and enduring. It is decidedly both ! You see with the encasing of the roof bars (or core 

 bar as we call it) in the galvanized steel U-Bar, every bar is practically a rigid rafter, although the com- 

 bining of both gives a member no larger than the roof bar used in the usual flat rafter frame construction. 

 The core bars are chemically preserved against decay, and protected against condensation by the steel U- 

 Bar. The steel U-B is galvanized against rust. It is the ideal construction for private estates, parks, 

 public institutions and florists' show rooms. Send for catalog.
