 More About Strout's House 



Two weeks ago you recall we showed 

 you the exteriors of Strout's two new 

 houses; one being Semi-lrou for propa- 

 gating, the other an Iron-Frauier, 60 ft. 

 by 'iob ft., for carnalioas. 



Whitney, Mr. Strout's hustling young 

 foreman, reckoned he could erect the 

 house, provided we lurnished a super- 

 intendent to get things started. So 

 Mr. Strout let him prove it. 



And by the jumping John Rogers, he 

 sure did. 



Both houses are a thoroughly work- 

 manlike job from start to tini&h. You 

 can go over it with a fine-tooth comb 

 and find all the little things have been 

 given painstaking, attention and care. 



It happens that this Iron-Framer, with 

 its wide rafter spacing and Fink Cam- 

 bered trussing, is the first of its kind 



put up in New Eogland. 

 It is certainly an inspiring sight to go 

 into that house. Us striking freedom 

 from columns; ils spacious air area; 

 its surprising liKlitness; its sturdy 

 strength indicated in every line of 

 the I uQStruetion, till you with admira- 

 tion and conviucement. 



The overhead mains are painted a gUstening white, 

 iii>t a dingy black. Note the anchoring rods ex- 

 tending each way fnim the renter to the next 

 column cap. No colls are fastened to the beiuhes. 

 They have inilepondent piix; sopports, set in con- 

 iTete. What«'ver happens to the benches, the heat- 

 ing remains undisturbed. 



Here you see thousands of S' rout's 

 glorious Sunshine Carnations, neigh- 

 boring happily with a half dozen or so 

 other varieties. 



From this house, Strout Incorporated 

 hope to be able, for a while at least, to 

 fill the ever-increasing demands of 

 their customers, which extend frim 

 New York to even so far as Quebec 

 aud Halifax. 



In addition to the fine service building, 

 office and show room, recently com- 

 pleted, they have just finished a new 

 power heuse equipped with two tubu- 

 lar boilers and a Custodis chimney. 

 There is room for three more boilers to 

 take care of the proposed future com- 

 panions to the big house. 



About the entire layout, there is every- 

 where evidenced that sincerity of pur- 

 pose and carefully thought out action, 

 which has characterized the Strout 

 proposition ever since the first day Mrs. 

 Strout inspired its conception. After 

 all, a good wife is a mighty good in- 

 vestment. 

 Hats off to her, all of us.
