Do You Want to Belong 

 to the Dark Ages? 



The age when the florists took the materials a firm sold 

 them without a qi estion, built their houses and went on 

 strugt^ling with shade and darkness — or are you in line 

 with the up-to dater who wants all the light ttiere is and 

 believes in spending money to get it? If you be- 

 long to that class you want our Half-Iron Frame House 

 with its melal eave plate and sash bar bracket; iron at 

 every decay point — iron at every point where wood 

 must be heavy and shade casting. It's a house built to 

 stay and it stays — it's the H. & Co. house of economy. 

 If you believe in economy write today — tomorrow 

 you'll be too busy.

IT'S THE EVERLASTING 



DRAG OF THE repair bills that 



keeps a man discouraged — the repairs here and 



there, at the eave line, another post rotted off, 



the roof sagged and the glass broken, and so on 



'til the day of reckoning comes at the end of the 



year and you find out what a sink hole your house 



has been. Your day of reckoning comes at the 



end of the year, but we start with ours — start at 



^ the very start to reckon on the 



Hft^ life of materials and construc- 



^^^^^ tion, to figure on the chances 



^^PRa of repairs and a way to get 



^f- " -.^ around thera. That's how we 



p - ^» came to make the galvanized, 



^ -^^ Ice-Clearing Eave Plate and 



Sash Bar Clasps ; the Angle Iron 



Posts and Cast Iron Foot Pieces 



— we were after durability and 



rigidity, and we got them. 



We cut off this 6 inch Bectinii 

 of Eevp Plate to give you 

 aD idea just tiow it iii. 



You want the house that lasts. Then you want 

 our decay saving materials. We sell them in 

 any quantity desiied. Write us.

HAT core is chemically treated before encasing 

 in the galvanized steel shell — then strong screws 

 are placed every two feet on alternate sides. 

 U-Bar greenhouses are the best greenhouses 

 built because 



the metal structural members 

 are protected against decay and 

 rust — there's no construction as 

 strong in proportion to its size 

 — none that gives to the plants 

 as much light. Send for catalog.
