The Buiter and slop 

 is fust iron, not wood 



Isn't iiso, that if .vou look after the pennies, the doUars 



will look after thenisehes':' 



Seerninf-'ly. then, it's the little things that i-ount bi','. 



This is exactly tho way we look at frreenhouse oonsirur- 

 tion. 



Furthermore, we ha\c been aci'iised of beins too fussy about 

 the little thincs. 



That is to say, those who don't l)uild their houses the care- 

 ful way we do, have said as much. 



For which sayin-^ we are indeed greatly indebted to them. 

 It's about as complimentary a thinj; as they could say. 



Next time you are in a HitchinK? house, Ki\e it a searching 

 look oxer, and s''e if you don't see care and attention o\i- 

 denced everywhere. 



See if p\ory little detail has not been thouf-'ht out and then 

 carried out with exactness. 



l,,ook critically at all joints. 



Look at the painting. 



Look at the ;;utter eader pipe. 



.Scratch off a little of the paint and prove to yourself it is 



copper and not tin. 



Now fc'o outside and look at the gutter and Its end stop. 

 Notice first that it's not wood, but iron like the rest of the 

 gutter; which you'll agree is exactly as it should be. 

 Xow also notice that instead of stopping off short, how it 

 exteruls over on the gable, giving a fine, finished effect. 



Slop inside again and scrape a little of the paint off the 

 pipe leading from th=^ gutter. You will find it is not tin 

 or sheet iron, but copper. 



If you, too, feel as we do, that it's the little things that 

 count, then we would like to build for you, 



Vou know we go anywliere for business, or to talk business.
