A Word to Superintendents and Gardeners 

 About Standard Width Houses 



Whoever started the rumor that we had arbitrarily adopted 

 11, 18 and 25 feet as the widths for oui standard houses, just 

 didn't know the facts. 



The facts are that we had but little to do with it. 



You gardeners and .suuerintendents are the ones who really 

 brought it about. 



You — and the fact that the greatly increased cost of materials 

 demanded that something be done to keep down the rising cost 

 of greenhouse possessing. 



We made the widths 11, 18 and 25 because those are the 

 widths most of you wanted most of the times. 



You evidently wanted them because they BEST met your 

 wants. 



Having adopted your width, it then remained for us to so 

 arrange our manufacturing that we could run the parts 

 through our factories with the same economy of operation 

 and perfection.. of res'ults that the high class automobile 

 concerns do. 



As a result our finished materials all have a high uniformity 

 of finish and accuracy of fit. 



Which likewise means, we can turn out your houses quicker 

 and erect them quicker. 



We have three special circulars telling specially about these 

 three standard width houses of yours. 



Write for them all. See if everything we have done toward 

 .standardizing them is not exactly what you have wanted 

 (lone for years. 



If thpy are not what you want, we would heartily welcome 

 hearing from you. 



If the houses we build are not the best houses for you and 

 your employer, they are not the best houses for us. 



That's just plain common sense. Let's hear from you.
