WILLIAM SPANDIKOW 



Weiss-Spandikow Co. 

 Orders Two Big L. & B. Houses 



TT goes without saying that we always like to sell green- 



■•■ houses. 



There ai-e, however, some to whom we particularly like to 



sell. 



Like to. because of their beins acknowledged leaders in 



their particular section of the country. 



When the Weiss-Spandikovv Co. be«an sending their roses 

 to the Chicago luiirKet. they were at once recogni/ed as 

 top-notchers. 



The word promptly went out, to "Keep .\our eye on tliat 

 man Wei.s.s, he is a comer." 

 He i.s no longer a coiner. 

 He is an arrivcr. 



Those of you who ha\e seen that range of four ridge-and- 

 furrow houses at .Maywood 111., with its splendid packing 

 shed and power plant, knew that more houses must follow. 



Seeing the wonderful stock. .Mi-, Spandikow, the grower, 

 was producing, you also well knew that he would not be 

 content witii a four-house limit. 



Knowing some of the big men who are ilirectors of the 

 company, you likewise knew they worv money-makers and 

 would exentually put their mone.v in liouses which would 

 make the most money for them. 



Make it. not ;ilone foi- a few short M-ars, but for .\cirs 

 to come. 



They soun Iji'-mi to scr ihul it's not »h:il a house costs 



to start with, that counts; it's what it keeps on cost- 

 ing that's the big thing. 



They began to realize that it's possible to build green- 

 houses that arc a permanent investment. 



Of course they knew the.v would have to pay more for 

 such houses. 



But they also convinced themselves such houses would, 

 in the end, pay them a lot more for what the.v paid. 



Pay a lot more, because less would be paid in repairs. 

 Just naturally, neither Mr. Weiss nor Mr. Spandikowcame 

 to these conclusions in a huri-y. 



Furthermore, when they did, it was noti any easy thing 

 to at first convince the directors. 



That they are convinced beyond all argument is evidenced 



in the order placed with us for two of our big iron 



framers. 



Two .separate houses each 70 x I0(). covering practicall.v 



the same uround as their first four connected houses. 



Our standard construi'tion is to be used throughout. 



Not a thing is of an experimental nature. 



Every feature .of the construction has been tried and 



proven. 



These two houses will be^completed.'by May first, 

 Kvery unue in a while as tlie work progresses we will show 

 photographs and tell you interesting facts. 

 So be on the lookout.
