*^ & gg^te FOLEY GREENHOUSES 



Bcusett & Waihbum't Mammoth Range at Gregga Station, Illinois 



BASSETT & WASHBURN need no introduction to the trade. The high quality of stock grown by them is known to all. 

 Several years ago it was decided to gradually reduce the old range at Hinsdale, and build a new range at Greggs 

 Station, close by. Two distinct types of houses were furnished by other builders, neither of which was of the type which 

 Bassett & Washburn would use in the further development of the range. 



PM In the Spring of 1916 the "Foley Semi-Iron House" was chosen as the most practical and economical, and immediately 

 seven of our houses were built. The following season thirteen more of the same type were built. They then followed a 

 little while later with another order for two more of the same size. This gives them a total of 



22 FOLEY SEMI-IRON HOUSES 



Each 28 feet wide by 300 feet long 



Foley Channel Gutters and Patent Malleable Bar Brackets are used throughout. 



Repeat orders such as these are sure proof of "Foley Dependability" and leave no doubt as to the merits of 

 "Foley Greenhouses."

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest;
