Two years ago your money bought the smaller house. 

 The same amount today buys the larger one. 



Your Dollar 

 How Much House It Now Buys 



Not long since, was over in Boston and in one of the 

 big grocery stores up on Treniont Street was a most 

 convincing window display. 



Ill one group was a barrel of flour, a hundred pounds 

 of sugar, a pound of coffee and one of tea, that but 

 a little over a yeai' ago cost close to $50. 



In another group was exactly the same thing, along 

 with some 25 or more additional packages, all of 

 which can now be bought for exactly the same 

 money. 



Just naturally it set me to thinking about how much 

 move greenhouse your dollars will buy now than two 

 years ago. Some of you think they haven't i-eally 

 come down much. 



So let's take a house 60 feet wide and 300 feet long. 



ecjuipped with ventilating, boiler heating and every- 

 thing except benches. 



For exactly the same money you can now get one 

 400 feet long. 100 more feet for no more money. 



Of coui'se your next (luestion is, won't prices be 

 lower yetV Frankly, it doesn't look very encourag- 

 ing, considering that both lumber and steel have 

 both started to go up. 



(ilass may be down a bit, but the variation of even 

 so nmch as a dollar a box lower, on a house 60 x 

 100. would only save you $170. 

 Hy putting off building, you ai-e apt to lose more on 

 theother materials, than you might save on the glass. 

 Think it over. 



When i-eady to talk building, say when and where 

 and we'll be there.
