Built The Unit Way 



. What Queer things iddw are! So often you get one and 

 don't know ho n you got it. Then again you just start to 

 put to practical use one idea and without rhyme or reason, 

 up pops another. That's exactly how our. unit way of 

 building happened. 



Mr. Burnham was passing a furniture window one day 

 several years ago. and stopped to look at the displar of 

 sectional book cases. The sign told how you could buy 

 one or more sections at a time. and. add others as you 

 needed them. There were sketches and photographs 

 showing different arrangements of the sections from just 

 the usual two sections and base, up to a large group com- 

 bined with a writing desk. 



Fifteen minutes afterward he came into the office, all smil- 

 ing and told us what he had seen and how it was exactly 

 the same principle on which we built and planned our Tron 

 . Frame greenhouses, whether for growers or private use. 

 Then he said leC's call it 'The Unit Plan." So we did. 

 Each house in this Unit Plan is made up of sections either 

 8 feet 4 inches long or 12 feet 6 inches. The length of the 

 house depends on the number of secti(^ns used. A range,^ 

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



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

 This means that each house is directly considered indirect 

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



erected, then we so plan it that other units can b« added 

 ecoBomicaUy, while at the same time giving the best grow- 

 ing 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 workroom and left 

 hand unit was firstereoited. Two years afterward the rigfit 

 hand one was added. The first unit 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. I^ter a connecting passage 

 can be added on the rear of the workroom 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 unit 

 plan of a range for you. Prices' are down. Say when 

 and where and we'll be there.
