The entire family talfes a pride in the new houses. This bed of cannas and coleus was Mrs. Weianl's suggestion. 



Gardens, Newark, Ohio 



Just to give you an idea of the amount of mater- 

 ials in such houses; the framework and glass alone 

 weighed over 310 tons. Fifteen miles of sash bars 

 and fourteen miles of rafters, purlins, posts, etc., were 

 used in their construction. 



In the vacuum heating there are ten miles of 

 pipes, ten tons of pipe fittings, 4000 roller spools and 

 a carload of asbestos pipe covering. 



There is a mile of Skinner System Irrigation lines 

 and an automatic steam pump with a capacity of %- 

 million gallons every ten hours. 



There were fifty miles of wire used for the cucumber 

 trellises, and four carloads of cement for the walks 

 and walls. 



We believe this range to be one of the finest com- 

 mercial layouts we have been privileged to erect. 

 Structurally, it embodies all that's best in our wide 

 spaced iron frame construction. 



From a business paying point of 

 view, it is conspicuously free from any 

 superfluous features such as are apt 

 to be found in layouts where capital is 

 plentiful. 



It is a clean cut, thoroughly practi- 

 cal proposition from start to finish. 



In a commanding position on the top of a hill, overlooking the 

 acres of glass, is the Weiants' residence.
