And this is the grreenhouse we built at the Yale and 

 Towne factory, Stamford, Conn. 



~0,0<J0 beddinK plants are grown here — enough for 

 all the grounds and a liberal surplus for distribution 

 among the workmen. 



Another Link in the Story of the 

 Great Floral Awakening 



WITHOUT doubt j'ou recall the page we had a 

 tew weeks ago telling the interesting story 

 of how the Bethlehem Steel work came to 

 beautify their grounds with flowers. Also the way it 

 finally resulted in their building one of our finest 

 curved eave greenhouses for growing their thou- 

 sands of bedding plants needed. And now here is 

 the story of Yale & Town'?'s, another similar case. 

 The making of high grade building hardware, that 

 they do; and the growing of flowers; seem a long 

 way apart. 



But Mr. Towne believes that the making of better 

 hardware is best accomplished by making better 

 men. 



Those things we do best are those things in which 

 we take a pride in the doing. 



To awaken interest and pride in the environment of 

 workmen is undeniably reflected in the pride in their 

 work. 



To beautify a factory's grounds is not a matter of 

 sentiment. It's just a matter of plain, every day 

 economics. 



In this factory beautifying movement the greenhouse 

 plays a vital part. It is one of the necessities. 

 For over half a century we have been building green- 

 houses. Logically, we know how they should be 

 built, which accounts for so many of these big cor- 

 porations buying our houses. 



When you are ready to build, we would like to talk 

 with you about the building. Say when and where 

 and we'll be there.
