To be confidential with you — 

 here's a bit of history — 



— a bit of history that tells in deeds much better 

 than we can tell in words that the AGMCO has 

 made, and is making, good. 



On the first day of November, 1915, a modest little office was opened in the 

 Masonic Temple, Chicago, "just around the corner from the wholesale flower 

 market," by the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., and a new business was 

 launched on the commercial sea. There was no blare and flourish of trum- 

 pets at this launching, but there was the quiet force of a set purpose — the 

 purpose to build better greenhouses, super-greenhouses, casting aside all useless 

 patterns and outworn methods of construction and holding fast to those 

 things that are good and true. 



Since that time many moons have passed, and the quiet force of 

 a strong purpose has carried the fame of the AGMCO into every, 

 even the remotest, corner of the greenhouse world. And the 

 result ? The result has far surpassed the wildest hope of the most 

 Utopian dreamer; for in the bright light of AGMCO perfection of 

 design, of service, of workmanship, the "average job" has faded 

 away into the gloomy recesses of limbo, never to return again. 



You'd be surprised at the amazing amount of work we have accomplished and the ground 

 we have covered. Why, you can't think of a modern type of house we haven't built. There 

 are the three big 60x500 footers for Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, Illinois; the nine 44 x 550 foot 

 giants for the Albert F. Amling Co., May wood, Illinois; Ignaz Schwinn's curved eave, flat 

 rafter leanto conservatory, 12x17 feet, in Chicago; the classic palm house, 36x45 feet, 

 without columns, erected for Carl Erickson in Princeton, Illinois; the four houses, 36x300 

 feet, for Daut Brothers, Decatur, Illinois; the two improved type AGMCO pipe frame houses, 

 36x300 feet, for the W. A. Rowe Floral Company, Kirkwood, Mo., and three pipe frame 

 houses, 16x115 feet, for Sam Pearce, of Chicago. Nor are these by any means all— they 

 but serve to give you an idea of the scope of the AGMCO work. 



These things are not said boastingly — "but out of the abundance 

 of the heart the mouth speaketh," and we are fain to let those 

 open-minded members of the trade, who seeking for worth found 

 it and seized it, know that we appreciate to the fullest possible 

 degree the courtesies they have shown us in this, our infancy, and 

 the part they have played in helping us to make s'ood. 



You can't be fair to yourself without being fair to us. 



So- 



get our catalogue— it's free 

 get our estimate— it's free 

 get our plan— it's free. 



Where shall we send them ?
