Stuppy Floral Company Build Big 

 House at St. Joseph, Missouri 



FOR a good many years the Stuppy Floral Company have 

 been the big people of ^. Joseph. A glance at the size 

 of the range tells that. 



The single big house, 50 feet by 400 feet, in the front is 

 the one we erected for them last year. 



It's our iron frame construction with two columns, and 

 that special combined compression and tension truss stifTen- 

 ing of the frame. 



It's practically the same method of framing that we use 

 in our 40-foot houses, when leaving out all columns. 



Look at the free open space there is between the columns 

 on the interior view above. Now glance down at the eave 

 and notice those double gusset plates, which bolt together 

 the steel rafters and the guaranteed wrought iron posts. 



Notice the frequency of the purlins— no skinning done on 



the job to beat the other fellow out on price. For each 

 width house, we have certain definite framing methods, in 

 which certain weights of rafters and sizes of purlins are 

 used. 



No amount of arguing can induce us to use any other, 

 because all our sizes have been figured out, not by one 

 engineer, but by all our engineers. 



They are not the opinion of any one man. 



They are the conclusions of a dozen men. backed up by 

 all our years and years of greenhouse building experience. 



And speaking of experience, we are the only firm who for 

 over one- half century have been building greenhouses ex- 

 clusively. In spite of all that may be said to the contrary 

 we always have, and are today, building ihe best Green- 

 bouses built, and using the best materials procurable.
