GET ON THE INSIDE of one 



of our Iron Frame houses, take a look at 

 those small Roof Bars and see that they stop 

 at the Vent Header instead of continuing 

 to the ridge, doubling the shade of the sash. 

 Look at those Rafters, a span of iron from 

 ground to ground on either side. 

 See how the Eave is equipped with our 

 patent Ice-Cleaning Eave Plate and the way 

 the Bar Clasps hold and strenghten the roof. 

 Then think that two small Pipe Columns are 

 all that are required ; combine all these 

 things with the durability, the last forever- 

 ness of the whole thing and you can 

 then understand why our Iron Frame Con- 

 struction makes such a wonderful house; 

 why it's the cheapest proposition in the end. 

 It's the best house yet for you rose growers.

T'S a strong combination, that of uniting the 

 rafter and the sash bar in one — a combination 

 that has done more to revolutionize greenhouse 

 building than anything that has happened since 

 the introduction of the iron frame. U-Bar green-

houses are the best 

 greenhouses built 

 because it's the only 

 construction com- 

 bining sash bar and 

 rafter — that actually 

 strengthens the house, while decreasing the shade. There's no 

 house as productive. Send for catalog. Pierson U=Bar Com=
