The Florists^ Review 



Febhuaet 12, 1920 



The house at the left was 

 the first one. 



It was the one that con- 

 vinced Mr. Mueller that a 

 Lord & Kurnham house 

 was the house to build. 



The two at the right are 

 the new ones. 



This is a close-up of the 

 short house. 



All are 50 ft. wide and 

 have but one column, but 

 you should see the ar- 

 rangement and strength 

 of the toof trussing. 



Mueller Builds More Side Hillers 



It w.as just at ila.vbreak, when I tumbled out of tlip slor>|ipr 

 at St. .lo.seph. .Missouri, and asticd a taxi driver if he knc« 

 Ernest Mueller, the greenhouse man. 



"Sure." says he. "Mueller's the man who has tiie Pierce 

 Arrow truclis with the bij; aii-filled tires." 



We «ot there Ijefore our friond Mueller had finished his 

 breakfast, for which he iiad e\er.v reason to be annoyed. 

 IJut you seo I ri'iiiembered how delit;htfull.v good-humored 

 he was on a forincr visit, and so ti«ured that his continued 

 good nature could be depended on. 



"Say, frieni,'' sa.vs I. "how e\er came .vou to build any 

 more Lord & Hurnham houses^ 



Didn't you learn your lesson when you bought that first 

 one'.-'" 



"That's .iu-<t it," says he, "I did leain my lesson. That's 

 exactly why Lorti A Burnham get the order for two more.' 



"We had some friends at the house the other night and 

 while having some snacks together, one of my boys said 

 something that's exactly what I'd said if he'd given me a 

 <'hant-c. He said: When Dad built his first house we 

 thought L. & H. would be altogether too toppy for us; 

 .lust as we thought a Pierce Arrow truck would be rank 

 ''Xtravagantc. 



When it came to building the second house, wo had learned 

 a lot and gave the job to L. ct M. We also found out that 

 cheap trucks cost too much money in repair bills. So now 

 wp have Pierce Arrcjvv trucks and Lord & Hurnham green- 

 iiouses. Each the best of its kind. Of course, tlie.vdocost 

 a lot. And then again they don't, when you come to 

 tigure the service Ihe.v give and tho low cost of i epairs." 



To vvhich let me add. wish I could tell you a lot of other 

 tilings ab(»ul that early morning call, but will have to put 

 it (ill for another time. 



If .vou want to talk building, say 

 well be there.
