What We Are 

 Trying To Do Is, 



show up to the Horists that the trifling 

 amount saved on the wood framed 

 house, over our iron frame one, is 

 swallowed up many times in repair 

 expenses. That the wide house is 

 cheaper to erect, easier to work, heat 

 and ventilate than narrow houses. 

 When we make a man see these 

 things we know he will get the right 

 thing at the right price.

 Gentlemen : 



We would esteem it a favor 

 if you would be kind enough to 

 give U3 your lowest price on 

 the material for four green- 

 houses like those we have jusv 

 completed. 



We have been experimenting 

 with the new boiler and would 

 like to inform you that within 

 an hour after the fire was 

 started every pipe in our 

 greenhouses was so hot that it 

 was almost impossible to touch 

 it. We are sorry now that all 

 our boilers are not the same 

 as this one. We feel confi- 

 dent that it is a money saver. 



Since we have to put in six 

 new sections In one of our 

 boilers would it not be better 

 for us to have an entirely neW 

 boiler like the one we have 

 Just put in. 



Yours very truly, 

 (signed) Bobbink & Atkins. 



That is the way wc do business — 

 do It so we can do it again.

e publish this plan along with 



the cut because it is the only [5f 

 way you can form an idea of 

 the magnitude of the range. The 

 U-Bar construction meets all the 

 requirements of the man who wants just a 

 small house, or the estate demanding houses 

 for every sort of growing condition. The 

 wide spacing of glass, curved 

 eave and its extreme lightness 

 make a construction un- 

 matched by others. Send for
