HORTICULTURE 



July 12, 1913 



^kck? 



It's about twenty-five years ago, isn't it, since the 

 clumsy, unenduring, vvomien bicycle wheel was aban- 

 loned for the light, strong, all-steel wheel with its 

 wire-like spokes and fine, true-running ball bearings? 



You remember how the wise ones shook their heads 

 and said : "those cob web wheels can't stand the 

 racket." 



Well, they have stood it for twenty-five years, and 

 now the automobiles are abandoning wooden wheels 

 because the all steel are stronger and last longer ! 



When the first U-Bar house was built with its cob- 

 web-like all-steel frame and graceful curved eave, the 

 wise ones again .shook their heads and said "it couldn't 

 stand the racket." 



But it has stood it for over a decade. 



So undeniably practical has the construction proven; 



so far superior is it in growing results ; so much lower 

 in up-keep ; that other constructors have made their 

 houses as near like it as possible by adopting the curved 

 eave. But the curved eave is only one of the U-Bar's 

 superior points. 



Other curved eaves may look like it, but looking like 

 it is the only way they are like it. 



If it isn't made with the U-Bar, it isn't a U-Bar 

 curved eave house. 



The question for you to decide then is ; whether you 

 will be satisfied with a house built like the old heavy 

 bicycle wheel ; or have the cob-weh-steel U-Bar con- 

 struction. 



Of course the U-Bar costs more, but it is worth many 

 times more than it costs. 



A galvanized all steel framework, ^vith the exposed wood on the outside; the steel 

 on the inside — such is the U-Bar construction.
