The Low Cost 

 Of High Prices 



Vou have heard of the hundreds of thousands of 

 dollars lost by the recent big storm, by greenhouses 

 that went down. 



You have heard not alone of tlie cost of the ruined 

 houses, but the big sums of money lost in lost crops. 

 Crops that were bringing money-making prices, 

 such as never was the like l)efore. 



The loss of such houses is not to be figured at wliat 

 they cost; but irhat it irill cost to replace them. 



Knowint; the cost of building materials today, you 

 tully appreciate what a terrific loss it all means. 



Amoui; all tliese iiouses that went down by the 

 weigiil of the snow and force of the wind, none of 

 ihem were Lord & Burnham construction. 



In fact, never in our half a century of greenhouse 

 building', has one of our Iron frame houses ever 

 collapsed. 



Some have accused us of beinu' high priced, and 

 haven't taken the pains to find out if we really 

 were. 



Others have accused us and then backed up, when 

 they found out how our prices are always backed 

 up with a full dollar for dollar value. 



What does a man save, by saving a few hundred 

 dollars when he buys a house, only to lose it and a 

 lot more, when it goes down with the first big 

 storm? 



You may say that "a storm like this last big one 

 only happens once in a lifetime." 



Once is enough, isn't it, when in a night the savings 

 of a lifetime are lost? 



It's for just those once in a lifetime storms, that 

 we construct our houses. 



We construct them so the money you put in them is 

 a permanent investment. 



They do cost more than some houses. 



The only reason they cost more is because they are 

 worth injre. 



It's a case wiien a high cost is a low one. 



When you are ready to talk building, say when and 



where and we'll be there.
