Easy to Erect, No Center Posts, Self-Clearing of Ice 

 and Snow, says T. B. Pengelly, Irondequoit, N. Y. 



■'It may be of interest to you, to know 

 that in the Spring of 1912. I decided to 

 build a greenhouse. After loolving 

 around to And which Itind I thought 

 to be best, I decided to build one of 

 Lord & Burnham's Iron Frame green- 

 house, 208 feet long, and 40 feet wide, 

 and it pleased me so well that this last 

 summer, I build another just like it. 

 So I have now two greenhouses 

 208 X 40 feet, and they give complete 

 satisfaction. 



It may also be of interest to you to 

 know that we erected them ourselves, 

 which is a very simple matter. We 

 first set the side-posts and then with 

 the aid of a gin-pole, we raised the 

 rafters in place, then placing the pur- 

 lins, then the truss, tightening all bolts 

 securely. This completes one section, 

 then we started on another section, 

 and so on, until the construction was 

 completed. 



We then started on the wood-work 

 which is very simple, as everything is 

 cut and fitted. 



I like these forty foot houses. There 

 are no center posts to bother. We 

 have three walks, one in the center, 

 and one on each side, which leaves us 

 two double beds with a pipe in the 

 center of each to rest our work-plank 

 on. 



It pleased me the other day to see the 

 ice and snow slide off those houses, 

 while the old fashioned wooden-framed 

 houses were darkened all day long. 



In closing. I wish to thank you for 

 your courtesy and square dealing."
