THE GIANT CLAMP 



This is the clamp used in making the 

 Giant Arch, and is responsible for the 

 rigidity of the entire pipe frame in our 

 SemiTron house. For rigidity and 

 lightness, the framing made with this 

 Giant Clamp of ours, has been described 

 as a "tower of strength." Send for 

 descriptive circular.

Then there is the downright practical side of U-Bar houses, the side that means 

 more flowers, or vegetables of finer quality with less care and expense than in any 

 other houses constructed any other way. The reason for this is. in short — //wre 

 light. You see there is no gutter at the eave — no heavy members — the glass is 

 spaced 24 inches instead of 16 inches. Every structural detail has been reduced 

 to the smallest possible point. Still with all this extreme lightness of construction, 

 there is not a more rigid, enduring house made — and it is the U-Bar that does it. 

 The catalog although filled with U-Bar houses, both exteriors and interiors, also 

 shows plans, sections and all the interesting structural details that you lil<e so well 

 to .know — Send for it. Pierson U-Bar Company, Designers and Builders U-Bar
