Look at the wheels of a bicycle — see what slender little, wire- 

 like spokes they have — yet what strong, sturdy wheels they are. 

 Surely no one would think of going back to the clumsy, old 

 wooden spoked wheel. 



By the same token did you ever stop to think how like the 

 bicycle wheel, U-Bar greenhouses are? 



No heavy wooden roof bars or large iron framing members — 

 but in their place a complete, all steel frame of U-Bars as light 

 and strong in proportion as are the bicycle spokes. 



The cypress core bar is steeped in a chemical preservative be- 

 fore it is placed in the U-Bar. 



The galvanized steel U-Bar completely protects the core bar 

 from the inside moisture of the house. 



The drip does not drip. It follows down the bottom of the 

 U-Bar, to the purlin lead-offs, or to the cast iron sill. No drip 

 grooves to get stopped up. 



Then there's the curved eave — everybody knows the U-Bar 

 curved eave was the original curved eave. It is admitted to be 

 the most practical and attractive of all curved eaves. 



No reinforcements of the curved parts of the U-Bar are needed 

 — no heavy iron members to break the view from the inside look- 

 ing out; or show a heavy line from the outside, looking in. 



There's only one U-Bar curved eave, and that's the eave 

 MADE WITH THE U-BAR. 



Others may look like it, but that's THE ONLY WAY they are 

 like it. We tell you these things as a matter of protection to 

 yourself. If you want the finest greenhouse sold today, for pri- 

 vate estates, public institutions or florist show houses — you want 

 the U-Bar. See to it that you get it.
