A Lake Minnetonka Greenhouse 

 An Interesting Layout 



a 



AWIIOOI". a holler, and a look over" (as they 

 say in Virginia), from the Goodrich house 

 at Zunibria Heights, Minnesota, is the Van 

 Uusen layout. 



The available location on the sloping shores of Lake 

 Minnetonka, made it impossible to lay out the house 

 to greatest advantage; but as you see from the il- 

 lustrations, every advantage was taken of what ad- 

 vantages there were. 



The main house has a partition running lengthwise, 

 which accounts for the second line of ventilators on 

 the north roof. 



And now, here is a secret. We didn't build these 

 houses. We never have even seen them^that is to 

 say no one had, until I went out there last fall and 

 spent the morning and took these photos. Why then, 

 are we advertising a house we never built? Because 



we furnished all the materials for it. They were 

 shipped from our Western Factory just out of 

 Chicago. 



If anyone's houses can be put u|) satisfactorily by a 

 general builder, ours can. Not more than two out 

 of every hundred private houses we sell, however, 

 are handled that way. When costs are accurately 

 kept, it is bound to figure out that we can do the 

 erecting for less than anyone else. 



It's only reasonable. 



It's our business. 



It's just sixty years since we started building green- 

 houses. 



Let's talk over together that new house you are 

 thinking about. 



Say when and where, and we will be there.
