THERE is a lot of "hot air" about greenhouse con- 

 structions. Yes a lot of it! 



So anxious are the building concerns to be con- 

 sidered leaders in things new — that they are often lead 

 to take some little unimportant improvement to their 

 construction and exploit it as if it were going to revolu- 

 tionize the entire greenhouse building code. 

 'Only the other day I read an ad. of a concern who made 

 the astounding statement that they had made a tre- 

 mendous improvement in greenhouse construction by 

 abandoning for all time the clamp column fittings and 

 adopting a "bolted through" one. It was exploited as 

 a great discovery and something entirely new. As a 

 matter of fact it has been used by another concern for 

 at least thirty years. 



Talk all you will about various improvements in private 

 greenliouse construction, but when you get right down 

 to brass tacks, tliere have been no really important de- 

 velopments since the Introduction of the U-Bar. No one 

 denies that. Ever since then— (in spite of all the stones 

 thrown at it) all builders have promptly adopted as far 

 as possible U-Bar structural features. 



The curve eave and 24 inch glass, just for example. 

 But putting a curved eave on a house, does not make it 

 a U-Bar curved eave house. There is only one U-Bar 

 curved eave house, and that's the house made with the 

 U-Bar. Other curved eaves may look like it but that's 

 the only way they are like it.
