1 n G s s IS 

 COMMON SENSE growing flowers 



and you make it 

 your business to know your business 

 — that's why you grow such splendid 

 stock. Apply this same point of view 

 to building your house ; isn't it safe to 

 say that we can put that house to- 

 gether more quickly, and better than 

 your local, untrained carpente s can, 

 even with your ca eful supervision? 

 Don't mistake us, we want to sell you 

 all the materials possible, if that's the 

 way you prefer to do it, but when you 

 have us do the erecting, you can hold 

 us responsible for the perfection of 

 the whole proposition. No, worries, 

 sure of pleasant dealing and the best 

 possible house. Write us.

DON'T PUT OFF YOUR. 

 PAINTING 



until the glare of the hot sun makes it a 

 regular hardship for your men, and the heat 

 sizzles and bubbles the paint. But don't think 

 any pure white lead and oil will do. It must 

 be a specially prepared lead ground in raw 

 linseed oil. We can sell you at wholesale 

 price, the Ideal Greenhouse White Lead, which 

 is exactly the same lead we have been using 

 with such success, on our houses for years. If 

 you have had cracking, peeling, mildewing or 

 chalking off troubles, then here's the solution 

 of the problem. We will tell you just what 

 proportions of oil we use to every lOo lbs. 

 of lead, and a number of other paint things 

 that experience has taught us. Write for 

 information and prices.

With U-BAR GRAPERIES 



the side glass is carried down 

 to the sill, which i; placed just 

 above the grade line. This 

 gives a grapery, that in connec- 

 tion with the wide glass spac- 

 ing and extreme lightness of 

 the entire construction, is al- 

 most like growing grapes out- 

 doors, as far as light and sun- 

 shine are concerned The 

 curved eave, the wide glass 

 spacing, and mildewless alumi- 

 num paint finish are points that 

 go to make U-Bar graperies 

 the perfect graperies they are. 

 Two interiors and several ex- 

 teriors of graperies are shown 

 in the new catalog. Send for 

 it. Pierson U=Bar Com=
