THE TEST OF TIME 



|| MANY HOUSES look good on paper and when they are new, but not all stand the only real test: THE TEST OF TIME. You 

 -^ will find among the "old-timers" many Dietsch houses that have stood this test and been found not wanting. DIetsch houses are 

 designed and built on correct, scientific and practical principles. It is not our aim to meet our competitors' prices, for that would be 

 inconsistent with good materials. To the grower who does not thoroughly investigate and compare, our proposition does not appeal. 



m THIS IS NOT THE TIME to build greenhouses, but it is a good Ume to think about it. Dietsch construction has stood the test of 

 -'' years. Not q^ily are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each house an Improvement over the last. 

 Our construction is advancing with the times. We advocate nothing that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than 

 we are now building, and they will be built by us. 



Ul WHEN PLANNING YOUR NEW HOUSES, it will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construe. 

 -" tion. We build most efficient and durable houses at moderate cost. Construction of wood exclusively or wood and iron combined, 

 using each where it will best serve its purpose.
