IT'S THE 



REPEAT ORDERS 



THAT COUNT 



ALONG last summer we wrote to 

 our Chicagfo office, asking if 

 there was anything of particular in- 

 terest about the orders they had re- 

 cently been booking. 

 The reply was so to the point that we 

 will now hand it on'to you ; 



The most interesting order we have 

 received this month is for three houses 

 for Walter B. Davis Company, at 

 Aurora, 111. 



"They will be 64 feet wide and 325 

 feet long. The eave line is 10 feet 

 high and the rafters spaced about 11 

 feet to centers. They will be dupli- 

 cates of the iron frame house we 

 erected for Mr. Davis last year. 



On the three houses 7,500 lbs. or 3% tons of putty were used on 

 the 18 miles of h.irs — 30 miles of glass held in place by 300,000 

 glazing brads — 230 gallons of white paint or prett.v close to a 

 ton — 90.600 screws, which, if placed end to end. would reach con- 

 siderably over a mile. 



" A repeat order like this, we believe, says more all by 

 itself than any amount of anvil pounding we can do re- 

 garding the merits of our greenhouses." 

 These Davis houses were completed some time ago. 

 Mr. Davis's opinion is given in that four page ad. in 

 the Exchange and Review of January 31st, 1914.
