MAIN 



For years Maine has been 

 noted for lier potatoes — no state 

 in the Union now grows as tine 

 or makes such a wholesale busi- 

 ness of it. 



She buys a goodly number or u. & B.'s complete "Iron Framers." This 

 one of D. C. Blair's at Bar Harbor, Me., is but one of a dozen or more others 

 right around in that section that have been sold comparatively recently by our 

 Huston Office. 



From Irvington, N. T. to Bar Harbor, Maine, seems a long way to ship 

 materials for a greenhouse, but Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Colorado Springs, 

 Colorado; Los Angeles, California and such, don't stop for distance when they 

 want one of our superior houses for superior purposes — so why should Maine. 



The freight for such a distance is not such an item as you might think, 

 as it Is actually paid on finished materials only — materials that are all cut and 

 ready for immediate erection. No large excess of cypress is shipped to be cut 

 and wasted on the job as is the usual way — no excess of iron to be worked 

 out by rule of the thumb measurements. The exact things needed are sent 

 exact. They are made exact ■* the factory. Mention these facts to your em- 

 ployer; they are bound to impress him. 



We are turning out over two houses a day at our factories but they have 

 room for that one of yours. Send along the particulars and see if we can't 

 work together and get things started.
