The Florists' Review 



January 8, 1920. 



Sections of the last two houses, each VOx 100, to be ereeted for Weiss-Spandikow Co., at Maywood, 111. 



Two just like them will be finished by April first. 



Two More Big Houses 

 Ordered by Weiss-Spandikow Co. 



These last two houses for the Weiss-Spandikow 

 Co. will be completed the latter part of 1921 or 



Yes. you are absolutely right. 



That is exactly why this company ordered two 

 more houses, 70x400, making four in all; or a 

 range just three times the size of their present 

 one. 



They ordered it before steel advanced any more. 

 Ordered it to save money. 



The steel strike has played the very hob with 

 prices and deliveries. 



But even at present price', it's our honest belief 

 that growers w 11 pay more before they \\\]\ pay 



less. 



There never have been such prosperous times as 

 the country is enjoying. 



Everybody seems to feel business will be good 

 for several years to eome. 



All of which means that it pays to pay present 

 prices for houses, because you can make them 

 pay so well they don't actually cost you as 

 much as they used to cost. 



Co 



first of 1!»22. 



To kind of review matters; first, the Weiss- 

 Spandikow Co. gave an order for two houses 

 each 70x400. 



Then Weiss & Meyer Co. followed by one of the 

 same size. 



Following on the heels of which the Weiss- 

 Spandikow Co. ordered two more. 



All told, this means about 34 carloads of 

 materials. 



Or to put it another way, the bars, if put end to 

 end, would reach 17 miles. 



The glass weighs about 150 tons. 



12.000 pounds, or <> tons of putty will l)e re- 

 quired and .'586,000 glazing nails. 



Witii these five houses side by side with houses 

 of other constructions, you will have a fine 

 chance to compare the merits of each. 



It's the only way to compare comparative i>rices 

 of each.
