The Florists^ Review o^^^«"= ^s. 1920 



T. J. Humbird, of Spokane, Washington 

 Sent to Chicago for His Greenhouse 



From Chicago to Spokane is about 2,200 miles. 

 You can say it quickly, but it takes a long time 

 to CO it. 



Furthermore, freights that distance have a way 

 of looking like they cost real money. 



However, those real way out West Westerners 

 have a way of snapping their fingers at freight 

 costs, when they really want something that's 

 really good. 



All of which point of view started starting along 

 in 1878, when we shipped by sailing vessel "around 

 the Horn," our first greenhouse to California. 



Admittedly, it is a bit far to Spokane to send 

 our men to put up a house. 



Still, when you consider the way our mate- 

 rials are all cut to fit at our factory, the ques- 



tion of putting a house up is an easy matter 

 for local mechanics. 



With the aid of our directions and blueprints, 

 mixed with just average horse sense, things go 

 together like clockwork. 



This house of Mr. Humbird's is our Standard 

 Eave Plate Construction, which construction 

 does not require heavy foundation walls. This 

 and other features, reduces the cost about 20% 

 from Standard Curved Eave Construction. 



If your employer has been thinking of building, 

 send us his name and yours, and we will gladly 

 mail you some most interesting material about 

 our Standard Houses. It makes it very clear 

 just why these Standard Houses are so much 

 more economical to build in every way. 



If Mr. Humbird, and endless others can buy 

 their greenhouse of us by mail, so can you. 



Let us hear from you.
