For Over Two Years Our Rafters Have 

 Been Spaced 12 Feet 1^ Inches Apart. 

 We Were the First to Do It. It's One of the 

 Features of Our Reconstructed Construction

FOU more lliaii a yi'ur bfforc we used ilils wldi- 

 Bpnciiic oil the first house, we had been ex- 

 perlinentliiK. 

 Not only had onr engineers tiK»red down to 

 the snialletil det4iil. the strens^th «/. and strain on, 

 every member: but we had made trial erections at 

 our factory and subjei-ted the structures to actual 

 tests, far in e.xcess of anything that a coniplete<l 

 greenhouse would be subjected to. 

 In our first house, we strengthened the long stretch 

 of i>urlins by a short truss, having a strut at the 

 rafter. 



Hut we now use a special purlin brace fitting, which 

 is just as good, and looks better. 

 With this wide 

 spacing, not only 

 do you have a 

 third less rafters, 

 liut the great ad- 

 vantage of a 

 third less col- 

 umns as well.

With a house 72 

 feet wide, for ex 

 ample, and 500 

 feet long, you 

 have only two 

 columns across 

 the house and 

 39 lengthwise, or 

 7 8 in all, as 

 against 118 with 

 the old 8 feet 4 

 inch spacing.

If you want the 

 columns placed 

 in unusual loca- 



ticMiH; such a.s are impossible with the usual Hat 

 lafter; we can substitute our lattice rafter, and i)ul 

 Hum just iihiii iiou unnt thim. 



With this HeconBtructe<l Construction of ours, wi- 

 can build a house to exactly suit your needs; In- 

 stead of something that arbitrarily nieuls the old 

 construction's limitations. 



So practical iii every way, has this wider rafter 

 sjiacing of ours proven, after its thrrc years' test. 

 that unless we are greatly mistaken, you will see 

 other builders following in our foot stops. It's 

 lloiiKj to bf the construition o/ thi- future, there's 

 not a bit of doulit of it. Send for our special circu- 

 lar about it.
