Smith's New Greenhouse at 

 Bound Brook, N. J. 



ONE of the interesting things 

 about our commercial busi- 

 ness this year, is that so 

 much of it has been right around 

 within thirty miles or so of our fac- 

 tory, here in New Jersey. 



As a result, every one of these 

 growers, have saved a good bit In 

 the freight on materials and fares 

 of workmen, that other concerns 

 would have to send a greater dis- 

 tance. 



For near-by jobs, we can in most 

 cases, deliver the entire material 

 by motor truck; overcoming the 

 vexatious delays in shipping ma- 

 terials by freight and having it take 

 longer than if it were going way 

 out to the Pacific Coast. 



The short distance from the fac- 

 tory, often makes it possible for 



The i-olumns are 

 double XX Pipe, 

 esu-h supported on 

 four - way - braced 

 cast iron foot bases. 

 Note the strength of 

 the column cap and 

 framing connec- 

 tions. Let us send 

 .vou a circular on 

 our Reconstructed 

 Construction. 



HitcKitv 



our President, Mr. Sefton, to run 

 out to the job in his car once in a 

 while and see how things are going 

 on. As a result, these men are get- 

 ting just one of the finest jobs pos- 

 sible to be turned out; and at a de- 

 cidedly worth while price. 



This job of Chas. Smith's at Bound 

 Brook, N. J., is now all done and 

 planted. Drop around and see it. 

 Find out what they think about 

 Hitchings way of doing things. But 

 before you go, let us send you a list 

 of names of nearby houses, so you 

 can get several growers' points of 

 view, and compare the work on all 

 the houses. You will then see that 

 all the houses show that same care- 

 ful attention to every little detail, 

 and have that look of everlasting 

 lastingness. Of course, we go any- 

 where for business or to talk busi- 

 ness.
