THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA.

You remember that 

 biblical Child 

 Pharaoh was due to his 

 without straw. The bricks of th 

 affairs, baked in the sun. St 



unpleasantnesses between the 



the ancient Egyptian King 



manding that they make bricks 



days were crude, hand-moulded 



xed with the clay f: 



Nile, to hold it together better; quite as hair is today put in wall 

 plaster. Bricks n-.ade without straw looked like other bricks, but 

 thev didn't have the strength — they crumbled. Jumping over a gap 

 of 5,000 years, we come down to the U-Bar greenhouse and its orig- 

 inal curved eave construction. Other constructions may look like 



the r-Bar, but, 

 stabilitv and di: 

 it isn't a U-Ba 

 bars are one c 



ability 



strawless brick, it is only in the looks — the 

 •e not there. If it isn't made with U-Bars, 

 eave house. From' ridge to sill, the U-Bar 

 Lious piece of galvanized steel, no splicing, no 

 ■mically treated cypress core bars bear no weight 

 — their onlv office is to form a satisfactorv glazing seat for putty and 

 glass. The tMfar house is the only house built with U-Bars. When 

 you buy your greenhouse — be sure it's not a case of bricks without 

 straw. I.'ooks is one thing. Durability quite an 

 catalog, or send for us. Or both.
