The Harveys Build Hitchings Houses 



One crisp September morning, some five or so 

 years ago, I was met at Brandywine Summit, 

 Pa., by one of "The Harvey Boys" and taken 

 to the Old Harvey place for as delightful a 

 day's outing as I ever hope to have. 



Meeting the elder Mr. Harvey, was not the 

 least of the day's pleasure. 



Recall how we stood in front of the old house 

 and looking across the field, Mr. Harvey said: 

 "Here was where the old Revolutionary battle 

 of the Brandywine was fought. 



At that spot right over there was where the 

 fiercest fighting was done. 



Some summer evenings, when the day's work 

 is over, I come out here and look across this 

 field and kind of let my imagination have its 

 own way in seeing that battle all over again. 

 And then I think of Washington, who against 

 such tremendous odds broke the chains of the 

 country's enslavement; giving to us all a lib- 

 erty, like which the world had never known. 



Somehow, thinking of Washington like that, 

 always renews my vows of sincerity towards 



life. 



It makes me renew my determination that in 

 doing whatever we do, we will build strong. 



Build our greenhouses and our characters 

 equally strong." 



Having read these inspiring words of Mr. Har- 

 vey, you know why that day stands out so par- 

 ticularly strong in my mind. 



You can also understand why I was more than 

 usually pleased when one of our salesmen 

 phoned that "The Harveys" had just ordered 

 two Hitchings Houses. 



Two Half Iron Frame Houses, one 243'x33'6"; 

 the other 252x33' 6". 



We know you, who know the Harveys, can but 

 congratulate us on numbering them among our 

 customers.
