Number One Coiistructioii 



A few weeks ago I was passing through 

 Richmond, Indiana, on my way to Chi- 

 cago. 



Just to see what he would say, I asked the 

 conductor what Richmond was noted for. 



His reply was: "Say, man, 

 don't you know? Where you 

 been? Don't you do no reading 

 or anything? Why, this is the 

 home of Fair Ophelia and all 

 her folks. Out that wa v about 

 a couple of miles, lives her fine 

 old daddy, E. G. Hill, and his 

 son-in-law. Earl Mann. To- 

 gether they are the E. G. Hill 

 Company, known the world 

 over as hibernaters and pro- 

 ducers of more worth while 

 roses than anybody else." 



Of course I thanked him for 

 having written half the ad for 

 me, and now here's my other 

 half. 



"E. a." shies at picture taking. But 

 we caucrht tills when he was oft guard . 

 N^xt time we hope to catch Hr. 

 Mann. 



It's 25;Or 30 y«ars also si&^e **E'i&-**>fiij»i^t 

 :his first L &, B Iron Fringe Houses, 

 vfhith he later on sold to Mr. Fred 

 Lemon, the retail florist, who says they 

 are just as good as th»y ever were. ~ 



It was Earl Mann, Secretary, 

 Treasurer and General idan- 

 ager of the Comjiany, who 

 gave us tills order. 



They were simply forced to 

 ^uild, their business has 

 grown so tremendously. 



It is indeed something of a 

 feather in our cap to say that 

 E. G. Hill Company's roses 

 are grown in our houses. 



It puts a seal of slitisf action 



on our houses that is no 

 small thing. 



When you are ready to talk 

 building, say when and where 

 and we'll be there.
