Srrtloniil Iron Ironic IIoiiho hT .1, W. Nalrn'N, Ilnrtnnvlllc, Ont.. Canada. It li 76 feet wide. 



This Tells What One of the Leading Canadian Growers 

 Thinks of His Lord S Burnham Greenhouse 



AMONG the first of the Canadian growers to aiv 

 preciate the vital value of the modern iron 

 frame construction, was J. W. Nairn of liar- 

 tonville, Ont. 



After a man has decided to make a radical change 

 in direct opposition to the long established belief 

 of his business traditions and counsel of friends; 

 it takes considerable nerve to put it through. 

 Mr. Nairn's was among the first commercial Iron 

 Frame houses to be erected in Canada. After that 

 severe wind and snow storm of last winter that 

 disastrously carried down so many houses through- 

 out Canada: we immediately got In touch with all 

 the Canadian owners of Lord & Burnham houses 

 and found that without exception the houses had 

 stood the storm without a flinch. Not so much as 

 a single light of glass was reported broken, except 

 where the wind had picked up some sticks and 

 thrown them forcibly against the roof. WHiile the 

 backbone of other houses had crumpled up like 



paper, ours seemed to fairly glory in defying 

 Nature's attacks. Here is a letter Mr. Nairn 

 voluntarily wrote us about his house: 

 "I decided to build your construction after visiting 

 and carefully investigating other plants and seeing 

 other constructions. 



"The reason I built so wide a house was because 

 by actual comparison of figures I found the wide 

 house cheaper per square foot of ground covered. 

 "Since it was finished in October of 1913, there 

 HAS NOT BEEN A BROKEN LIGHT OF GLASS. 

 This compared with other constructions we have, 

 contrasts greatly.. Everything considered, your 

 houses are the cheapest procurable." 

 That's what Mr. Nairn thinks. If you would like 

 full particulars of his house, we know he would, in 

 the interest of bettering the growers business, be 

 very glad to have us send you full information. 

 Visitors to his plant, we understand, are always 

 made welcome.
