What Does a Material 



Supply Concern 



Know 



about the faults in its materials if 

 they supply materials only and never 

 erect their own houses. If you want 

 the best there is in up-to-date mate- 

 rials, you'll buy them of greenhouse 

 builders and not lumber people or 

 planing mills.

As fcr 5U^j|gjJi_ of construction, the 

 iron frame nouseis decidedly the strong- 

 est, especially in a wide house 



CLIPPED FROM AMERICAN FLORIST 



Just imagine the tremendous strength 

 of the iron frame construction with its 

 complete arches of iron running in 

 jointless rafters from ridge to grade 

 line and tied together at intervals by 

 the necessary purlins — a frame nowise 

 dependent on wooden members for its 

 rigidity or strength. Think what that 

 means when it comes to repairs — think 

 of the long time before any repairs will 



come.

U-BAR 



[HERE'S no better way to form an idea of what a 

 light, splendid house the U-Bar construction is, than 

 to see an interior. The wide spacing of glass, total 

 absence of any heavy supporting members or rafters 

 and the glistening beauty of the aluminum paint finish, 

 are the most convincing 



things possible. The won- derful ad- 



the usual construction n<ia»/ ^'MllV<^QBHiH admits of 



no argument. It is not ^^BmBSS^^BSmMS^^S^^^^. ^"^Y ^^^
