OUR IRON 

 FRAME HOUSE 



There is an argument — a strong argument 

 — in favor of putting money into a house 

 that is not an experimental construction. 

 The THEORY of how long a house will 

 last is a good talking point, but the FACT 

 that our Iron Frame Construction has 

 stood the test — the severest kind of tests — 

 makes it the only SAFE PROPOSITION. 



Send for our illustrated circular — Iron 

 Frame Greenhouses for Private Places.

 s Plate 



The galvanized plate clears the ice, 

 strengthens the house, reduces 

 shade; but it is our special Sash 

 Bar Clasp that makes that all im- 

 portant wood to iron joint and 

 prevent* end bar rot. 

 It is not an iron bracket but a gal- 

 vanized clasp, that holds, braces 

 and preserves the bar and streng- 

 thens the entire framing.

U=BAR ADAPTABILITY 



You know how unattractive, absolutely factory like the usual greenhouse of the ordinary construction is. It isn't the 

 kind of house that will harmonize with the attractive way grounds are being laid out these days. 



But the U-Bar construction, because of its graceful lines and extreme lightness of effect makes a greenhouse adaptable 

 to the most exacting requirements. See the illustration. 



It is the ideal construction for private estates, parks, public instituticns and florists' show rooms.
