DAMAGE BY GALE. 

 The gale on Sunday afternoon, 

 December 26, demolished a green- 

 house, 23 X 160, belonging to E. M. 

 Bruce and leased to John W. Lowe, at 

 Leominster, Mass. The greenhouses of 

 Paul F. Brigham at Westboro, Mass., 

 suffered a loss of 200 lights of glass. A 

 large quantity of glass was smashed 

 in the Paine greenhouses at Randolph, 

 Mass., and the roof was lifted causing 

 considerable damage to tho plants. At 

 West Boylston, Mass., Charles E. Pot- 

 ter, florist, sustained the near ruin of 

 one of his newest and largest hot- 

 houses. The wind got in under and 

 loosened the supports which held down 

 the glass roof. Mr. Potter discovered 

 it In time, got help, and by means of 

 wire ropes tied down the supports, but 

 meanwhile much glass was smashed. 



Tills greunbousc which is being used for 

 Sweet Pea growing was a repeat order. 



Tbe first Metropolitan greenhouse erected 

 for Mr. T. F. Polbos, of Sea Clltr, Long 

 Island, bad demonstrated to bis complete 

 satisfaction the thoroughness of our style 

 of construction. 



THOROIGHNESS is tlie key note of Met- 

 ropolitan worlimanslilp, not merely the thor- 

 oughness of our force right on tlie Job, but 

 the thoroughness of our entire organization 

 — tbe work of many units whose knowl- 

 edge and experience enable our field forces 

 to carry their work of erection to a suc- 

 cessful completion, with tbe least expendi- 

 ture of the owner's time and money.
