SPECIAL WIDTH 



HOUSES 

 COST MORE 



COST MORE, because they cost more 

 to make, than Standard widths. If 

 they cost us more, they will cost you 

 more. The more they cost, according to 

 that way of figuring, the more we make. 



No, you are wrong — dead wrong. You 

 get less for your money in special width 

 houses. We make less on them. It gets 

 right back to the old-fashioned truth, 

 that is rapidly coming into fashion again, 

 that a sale to be a profit producer, must 

 be profitable for both sides. 



The war forced us into making Stand- 

 ard width houses — forced us into it, be- 

 cause we saw that the cost of greenhouses, 

 with the price of materials so high, was 

 going to make it hard for some growers 

 to build. What hurt them hurt us. What 

 helped them helped us. 



So, based on the opinions of the lead- 

 ing growers of the country, combined 

 with our experts, we decided on 6 widths 

 of houses that work out most economi- 

 cally as to both benches and cost of ma- 

 terials. 



You may not think they are the most 

 economical for you, but after we have 

 sat down with you and explained the 

 entire matter, we have a notion things 

 will look very different. 



The new Handy Hand Book both 

 shows and tells about all the Standard 

 widths. If you haven't a copy, send for 

 one. If you have one, be sure it's not an 

 old one. The new one says "1918 edi- 

 tion" on the second page.
