Building with an Eye for the Future 



WHEN Cyrus McCormick came up out of 

 Virginia, 70 years ago, and built his 

 first factory in Chicago, he had an eye for the 

 future. 



He saw that the great West was bound to 

 be a vast wheat and corn growing section, and 

 that the harvesting machinery tliat was made 

 at a point where distribution was most central, 

 would get the most business. 



The mammoth International Harvester Com- 

 pany is the present-day result of Mr. McCor- 

 mick's looking ahead. 



When you plan your first greenhouse, or start 

 a new range, plan it with a far-seeing eye to 

 the future. 



Picture in your mind how 

 you will build your houses to 

 economically take care of ten 

 times your present needs. 



Based on ten, you can make 

 it one hundred times the size 

 and still preserve operating 

 economy. 



In the last ten years the 

 greenhouse business has moved 

 with tremendous strides. So 



The dark part shows the present houses. 

 Tlie light parts as it will expand into a 

 perfectl.v l-alanced layout. Several more 

 houses could be added on each side ami

fast, in fact, that it's been a bit difficult to 

 keep pace with its changes. 



The meeting of conditions in different parts 

 of the country differs widely. 



That's why we have established six branch 

 offices and three factories to best meet them. 



Each branch manager is a trained greenhouse 

 expert, who with his assistants is continually 

 making a careful study of conditions in their 

 territory. 



Constantly are the.se branches kept in touch 

 with the main office, and the experts at the 

 factories. 



In addition to their immediate knowledge, 

 they have the advantage of this 

 concern's half century in busi- 

 ness, to back up their recom- 

 mendations to you. 



Their help should be invalu- 

 able to you in planning with 

 you for the future. 



Through them our entire 

 organization of experts is at 

 your disposal. 



Let us urge you to take every 

 advantage of it.
