FORTHUBER 



Why These Brothers Built An Iron 

 Frame House 



A couple or so years ago when 

 the stable and other build- 

 ings of the Forthuber 

 Bros., of Irvington, N. J., burned 

 down, they determined not to 

 have the "thing repeated. The 

 new buildings are fireproof, being 

 constructed throughout of tile 

 and concrete. 



(Vhen it came to building a green- 

 house; the idea of building 

 thoroughly and lastingly bad a 

 grip on them 



For a year or more, they planned 

 and figured; and thought and 



talked ; about the best bouse to 

 build ; and the best firm to build 

 It. 



Last Spring they gave us their 

 order for one of our Recon- 

 structed Construction houses, 58 

 feet wide by 207 feet long. 

 It you want to get a straight 

 from the shoulder opinion of our 

 construction, and our way of do- 

 ing business; they might be good 

 ones for you to talk with. 

 You know we go anywhere for 

 business. Or to talk business.
