Built The Unit Way 



What queer things ideas are! 

 So oftea you get one and don't know how you got it. 

 Then again you just start to put to practical u§e one idea 

 -',,-' and without rhyme or reason up pops another. 



That's exactly how our unit way of building happened. 



■■'i" 



Mr. Burnhani was going by a furniture window one 

 day several years ago. and stopped to look at the dis- 

 play of sectional book cases. 



The sign told how you could buy one or more sections at 

 a lime, and add others as you needed them. 

 There were sketches and photographs showing different 

 arrangements of the sections f > om just the usual two 

 sections and base, up to a large group combined with a 

 writing desk. 



Fifteen minutes afterward he came into the office all 

 smiling and told us what he had seen and how it was 

 exactly the same principle on which we built aod 

 planned our Iron Frame greenhouses, whether for 

 groivers or private use. 



Then he said let's call it '-The Unit Plan." So wedid. 

 Each house in this Unit Plan is made up of sections 

 either 8 feet 4 inches long, or 12 feet 6 iuches. 

 The length ol the house depends on the number of sec- 

 tions used . 

 A range, in turn, is only a group of houses or units. 



When we plan a layout, always it is done unit by unil. 

 This means that each house is directly considered in 

 relation to each other. Or if but one house or unit is to 

 ba erected, then we so plan it, so that other ua ts (au 



be added both economically, while at the same time 

 giving the best growing conditions. 

 Done this unit way of ours, you know when you start, 

 exactly where you are started for, and therefore where 

 you will eventually land. 



Take this layout below for example: The work room 



and left band unit were fir>t erected. 



Two years afterward the right hand one was added. 



The first unij, was complete unto itself and decidedly 



attractive. 



The adding of the second unit simply completes the 



front or ornamental part of the group as originally 



planned. 



Later a connecting passage can be added on the rear of 



the work room and a one unit house full length of the 



front ones, divided into as many compartments as 



practical. 



Still another unit house can then be added back of that, 



and so on. 



Done this unit way, every move is complete unto itself. 



The layout can always be practical and attractive. 



Let's sit down together and talk over and lay out a 

 uni' plan of a range for you. Prices are down. 

 Say w hen and where and we'll bjj Iheie.
