This house of 

 Griffin Bros. 

 is 40 ft. TCide 

 and '300 ( t. 

 long. 



BUT MAMUFiCTmEE 



"X" HERE are a lot of greenhouse, as well as automo- 

 ■^ bile builders, who are assemblers. They do not 

 make their parts; they buy them here, there and 

 everywhere; and put them together. 



We are not assemblers; we are manufacturers. 



With but a few minor exceptions, we make every- 

 thing we sell. Consequently, it is made particularly 

 for tlie particular purpose for which it is to be used. 



Take for example our boilers; we don't lJ«(y them. 

 We make them. We make them so they will be made 

 the way a greenhouse boiler should be made. They 

 are not the regular house-heating boilers, bought of 

 some outside firm who cast our name on the door. 



It's the same, even with a somewhat minor thing 

 like oar Tell-Tale Ventilating Apparatus. 



We don't buy it of some recording machine com- 

 pany. It is made right in our own factory. A glance 

 at the pointer will tell exactly how wide the ridge 

 sash is opened. 



And so we could go right through our house, and 

 show you how practically everything in the construc- 

 tion and equipping of our houses is made by us, for 

 our houses. 



That's one of the big reasons why you can depend 

 on depending on Hitchings. And remember, that we 

 go anywhere for business, or to talk business.
