The Cost 

 Bar Greenhouses 



THEY cost somewhat 

 more than other con- 

 structions, because they 

 cost more to construct. 

 They cost more to con- 

 struct, because they are of 

 superior construction. 



A Pierce-Arrow auto costs 

 more than an Overlancl. Both 

 are good cars. But no one 

 questions v^'hich is actually the 

 best car. The U-Bar house, if 

 you want to put it that way, 

 is in the Pierce-Arrow class. 



There are a lot of people 

 who always want the best 

 there is, ancJ are always willing 

 to pay for it. For such the 

 U-Bar house exactly meets 

 their requirements as no other 

 house can. 



If you want us to send our 

 catalog to your employer, we 

 will be glad to follow your 

 suggestions. Of course you 

 are also welcome to one. If 

 you want to see us — say so — 

 we will drop around.
