THE GLASS MARKET. 



There has been a marked change in 

 conditions regarding the manufacture 

 and distribution of window glass and 

 greenhouse glass within the past few 

 weeks. For several years past this in- 

 dustry has been in a demoralized con- 

 dition, and the glass has been sold by 

 manufacturers in numerous instances 

 at less than the cost of manufacture. 

 Recently, however, the manufacturers 

 making glass in the old process — that 

 is, hand blown — have put the sale of 

 their glass in the hands of a distrib- 

 uting company, selling, with a very 

 few exceptions, the entire product of 

 all of the factories. This has been 

 followed by considerably increased 

 prices, putting the industry back to 

 a profitable basis. Further increasing 

 the cost to the consumer, there has 

 been a decided increase in the wages 

 of the skilled labor. There seems to 

 be no reason in sight why present val- 

 ues, or higher, will not prevail for 

 some little time to come.

Compare Them 



The cost of the wooden house with our 

 Iron Frame House ; bear in mind that 

 the Iron Frame costs less to erect, 

 less to keep in repair, and gives 

 you greater returns in quantity and 

 quality of flowers, than the best cypress 

 house made. This constiuction pays 

 for itself many times over. 

 The next best proposition is our Half 

 Iron Frame House. Send for circulars.
