Metropolitan Greenhouse Service 



the utmost in efficiency 

 and — results 



Metropolitan Exhibit at last year's 'show 



No matter what the initial cost of a greenhouse amounts 

 to, it is in every instance a good investment, provided 

 the revenue results are proportionate, and the cost of 

 maintenance remains at a minimum. But no matter 

 how little the initial cost, it is far too much for unsatis- 

 factory returns, with constantly increasing upkeep and repair expenses. 



Therefore, as the quality of materials used in the construction of all greenhouses is, after all, 

 a matter of contract specifications, this organization bases its claim upon the high character of 

 its labor and its constant endeavor to render a service which is at all times the utmost in 

 efficiency, economy and results. 



The reliability of this organization has been conclusively proven by the fact that it has not 

 merely sustained, but heightened its prestige for so long a period.
