The 3 Breitenstrater Semi-Iron Houses at Dayton, Ohio. Each one is 28 feet 4 inches by 75 feet 9 inches 



Here's a Practical Man 

 If There Ever Was One 



TWENTY years or so ago, our friend Mr. Breiten- 

 strater, of Dayton, Ohio, came to town as a 

 carpenter. While carpentering, he kept his eyes open 

 for chances to buy and sell a 

 lot or a house now and again. 



What he made he tucked away 

 in his sock. 



Pretty soon the sock began to 

 bulge so it looked like a regular 

 Xmas one. 



Then he began looking around 

 for a moderate sized piece of 

 land oiit in the country, where 

 he could do a bit of farming. 



On finding it, he promptly 

 bought it, and as promptly paid 

 for it. 



After a while he grew tired 

 of having his land yield him a 

 paying crop six months of the 

 year, and lie idle the other six. 



So he built one greenhouse 

 28 ft. 4 ins. by 75 ft. 9 ins. 



Made it pay. 



When he had enough to pay 

 for another, he bought it and 

 paid for it. 



With the two he made more 



All those wrinkles about Mr. Breitenstcater's 



eyes are not humorous ones. There are several

money in proportion than he did with the one. Soon 

 he built a third, and now he says the three pay 

 decidedly better in proportion than the two did. 



He says he has proved to his 

 entire satisfaction that large 

 houses cost less to work and 

 heat. He says his next house 

 will be a separate Iron Frame 

 one, 72 ft. wide or so. 



Step by step this man has 

 made his way, and paid his way 

 as he made it. Step by step he 

 has proven to himself that our 

 modern ly constructed houses 

 of a demonstrated, economical 

 width, are the paying houses 

 to buy. 



If such a careful, practical 

 man finds Lord & Burnham 

 houses and Lord & Burnham's 

 way of doing things so satisfac- 

 tory that he keeps on year after 

 year giving us business, doesn't 

 it look to you as if we were the 

 kind of a greenhouse concern 

 you have been wailing to hitch 

 up with? 

 Let's talk it over together.
