BETTER 



Federal Greenhouse Cements are proving 

 so wonderfully efficient because they pos- 

 sess to a superlative degree just, those 

 essentials which provide the greatest 

 service to the greenhouse owner. 



A greenhouse cement, first of all, must 

 be absolutely watertight and airtight^ it 

 must work readily with glass and metal 

 or wood, adhering tenaciously under all 

 weather conditions; it must possess 

 enough elasticity to take up all strains, 

 due to windstorms, etc., as well as the 

 normal contraction and expansion of the 

 glass, wood or metal; it must possess 

 resistance against sudden blows, such as 

 hailstones; it must, above all, possess 

 endurance, that quality which makes it 

 last over a period of years without de- 

 terioration. 



Federal Greenhouse Cements perform 

 these functions, as well as many others, 

 better than any materials you have ever 

 used; if you once try them you will never 

 be satisfied with any other brand. 



_We recommend the black as most effi- 

 cient and, by \he way, 90 % of the green- 

 house owners use our Federal Greenno.use 

 Cement No. % which is (he black in a 

 consistency suitable for use in the putty 

 bulb. 



THAN PUTTY 



— and Why? 



The reason we recommend the black 

 is because it is possible for us to use it as 

 the primary base to certain pitches and 

 gums, which possess marked elasticity and 

 waterproofing qualities. Combining these 

 gums and pitches, as we do, with suitable 

 oils and reducing agents, and with high- 

 grade asbestos fiber, produces cements 

 which have an inherent strength abso- 

 lutely defying weather and other condi- 

 tions. 



In making colored and white cements, 

 which are more expensive than the blacks, 

 it is necessary to use., as pigments such 

 materials as white lead, zinc, lithopone, 

 barytes and similar materials. These pig- 

 ments in themselves possess no water- 

 proofing or other value except as metal 

 and wood protectives. Cements made 

 from them depend for their efficiency as 

 greenhouse cements solely on the oils and 

 other materials combined with them. Now, 

 the oils which wo use, together with as- 

 bestos fiber, which is a part of every one 

 of our cements, enable us to make white 

 and colored cements which are far better 

 than the putties and other materials 

 which you have hitherto used, and a good 

 many of the greenhouse owners use them 



in preference to the black cement. We, 

 however, urge you to use the black. 



For repairing broken lights, no matter 

 how badly they may be broken, we recom- 

 mend our black paste Federal Elastic 

 Cement. For roofing work and for cover- 

 ing the brick work of boiler settings we 

 also recommend the paste consistency. 

 In fact, the paste consistency is most ad- 

 visable except where a thinner material 

 is required in order to do work quickly 

 and eflfectively. 



Federal Greenhouse Cements are sold 

 at very reasonable prices. Their great 

 success has brought numerous imitations 

 on the market. 



Now is the time to start using Federal 

 Greenhouse Cements. Glass is high and 

 every other essential has risen to a de- 

 gree making economies and conservation 

 not only desirable but necessary. The 

 use of Federal Greenhouse Cements will 

 prove a step in the right direction and 

 in a short time you will express your 

 approval, as so many hundreds of others 

 have done.
