CYPRESS BY TEST. 

 SUBSTITUTES BY TALK. 



Is there value to you in an endurance test of 45 years in greenhouse sashf It is reported to ua that 

 sash made of heart Cypress by a prominent greenhouse contractor in Chicago and placed in position in a 

 greenhouse at Bes Plaines, m., in 1868, are stiU doing service. 



Jacob FrieS; Bethlehem, Fa., has Cypress sash that have stood the racket for 30 years and are still on 

 the job. And these are not isolated cases — they represent no more than a fair test of * * The Wood Eternal ' ' 

 for greenhouse use. 



It will serve you as well and save you the nuisance and expense of repairs and replacements. 



The argument backed by such facts cannot be answered by mere talk. Ask the manufacturer or con- 

 tractor who wants to give you a "substitute^' for Cypress to cite you to an endurance test of 30 or 45 years 

 to the credit of the so-called "substitute." 



That is no more than a fair precaution on your part — good, ordinary business sense. 



If he would meet the Cypress record with more talk, ^d no test, then there's a "nigger in that wood- 

 pile." You know you would better pass up the "substitute" and stick to the real article, which is Cypress. 



"PECKY" CYFBES8. You greenhouse men know how common it looks and how uncommon it lasts. 

 The U. S. Govt. Eept. (Forest Service Bui. 95) says — "That the disease (which produces the 'peck') has 

 been a long time preying upon Cypress timber is apparent from an examination of Cypress logs dug from 

 alluvial deposits many feet below the present level of the Gulf of Mexico. Some of that prehistoric timber 

 is pecky, though it has been buried during a period estimated at no less than 30,000 years. . . . The 

 effect of the disease (known as 'Pecky') ... is believed to act as a preservative . . . and to 

 hinder decay." 



Js 30,000 years' "hindering of decay" long enough for YOUE greenhouse? 



There Is no knovrn record of rotten "Pecky." Use nothing else for benches and bench standards. It Is cheap, too. 



A postal will do, a letter la better — either brings a booklet or two from the famous CYPRESS Pocket Library (a strlctly 

 authoritative reference work). Vol. 3 la aU Abont "OREBNHOUSES." It is FREE. Send for it. Also ask for Vol. 2, on 

 "Pecky" — a mmiey-saTer. Take no hearsay. GET THE PACTS. Then ACT. Vol. 4 is the Barn Book; Vol. 20 la "All 

 Farm Needs Book"; Vol. 86 Is the "Carpentry Book," in which a dozen hard Jobs of carpentry are made easy, and Vol. 3T 

 is the Big, New Silo Book. All contain plans for building and are profusely illustrated.
