The Florists^ Review 



Decembkk 14, 1916. 



Street Qable Entrance of the Big House 



The Interesting Instance of Bland & Steinmetz 





EV E R been to Independence, 

 Iowa V 

 What a fine, wide awake 

 little city it is I I went out of my 

 way about '200 miles to drop off there 

 and see Bland & Steinnietz's green- 

 house. Came away feeling amply 

 repaid and chuck full of the flower 

 business enthusiasm. 



Mr. Bland is an old grower. 



Mr. Steinmetz. a former banker, 

 who decided health was first con- 

 sideration, and believed greenhouse 

 work among the healthiest of healthy 

 things he could work at. 



And what a team these two do 

 make I These two with the help of 

 Mrs. Bland, who here and there puts 

 a touch of woman's hand in the 

 Uoral arrangements, and keeps tiieir 



(jlimpse in the Two-compartment Connecting House. 



satisfied out-of-town customers 

 more than satisfied. 



The house is 41 feet 9 inches wide 

 and 150 feet long, divided in two 

 compartments. Connecting it to the 

 workroom is another twoconipart- 

 mcnt house 11 feet by 50 feet. 



The bif,' house is one of our two 

 column Iron Framers, that next to 

 being outdoors, are like being out- 

 doors, they are so light. 



This firm started right by start- 

 ing with the right house, lightly 

 constructed. 



It's the way they have gone about 

 everything. Wait a year or two and 

 you are going to hear some goodly 

 things about this firm. 



Heady to talk building? Say 

 when and wliere and we'll be there.
