The Florists^ Review 



April 10, 1919. 



The fact alone, that only one of every 100 houses we build is Ridge and Furrow, 

 shows how conclusively the superiority of the wide, single houses has been proven. 



Cost Comparison 

 Between Ridge and Furrow and Single Houses 



Jumping at conclusions is risky. Sometimes 

 you land square and fair on your feet — some- 

 times you find yourself very short of the mark. 

 Worst of all, you never know where you are going 

 to land until you land. 



To be guided by bulldog prejudices, rather 

 than facts and figures, comes pretty close to 

 believing there is gasohno in the tank and 

 refusing to take the precaution of looking. 



Being towed home is both annoying and 

 expensive. 



Looking into things prevents many an empty 

 profit tank. 



Take, for example, a single Iron-frame House 

 56 feet 4 inches wide and 400 feet long; and 

 two Ridge and Furrow Pipe Frame, each 28 feet 

 2 inches by 400 feet. When the Iron-frame 



House is erected, glazed, painted three coats, 

 having a steam system installed to maintain 

 55 to 60 degrees at zero, including excavating 

 for posts, concrete piers and side walls, there is 

 a difference of only two-tenths of a cent per 

 area foot of bench space, in Frame. 



Think of it, only two-tenths of a cent! 



The Iron-Frame House has 15,803 actual 

 square feet of bench surface, while the Pipe- 

 frame Houses have only 15,054. 



It costs more to heat the two houses, and the 

 shaded north bench in the Ridge and H'urrow 

 Houses never produces as well as the unshaded 

 ones in the single house. 



If you care to have us show you exactly how 

 these figures are arrived at, we will be only too 

 glad to do it. 



We have a large stock of materials that we bouirht at pre- 

 war prices and our seUing prices aie based on ihe cost of 

 these materials. 



When you are ready to talk business, say when and where 

 and we will be there.
