Stertzing Of St. Louis 

 Bought A Greenhouse That's Forty Years Young. 



Here is a copy of a letter recently received from Siertzing's 

 which is one of the most interesting received in many a day. 



"We nave just completed the final details on our Floral Con- 

 servatory and Show House, which we started to erect last 

 August, on the Manchester Avenue side, adjoining our retail 

 store. As it is now completed, we feel that a few words to you 

 in reference to it would be appropriate. 



"This Conservatory, together with two other greenhouses, 

 which we purchased, weie originally designed and built by 

 Lord & Burnham Co. for Mr. Kautl'niann, on his grounds at the 

 N. E. Corner of Kingshighway and Lindell Boulevards, almost 

 forty 40) years asjo. We were lemarkably surprised lo find 

 that upon dismantling them that they showed little or no 



signsnf weiir, with the exceptions of some of the wooden pan- 

 els. The conservatory is constructed with steel frame and was 

 rebuilt upon our place without any remodeling. It is now con- 

 sidered to be one of the Show Places of St. Louis and is said 

 to be one of the prettiest Floral Conservatoiies west of the 

 Mississippi River. We might also add that our business has 

 increased almost lOO per cent since we erected this con- 

 servatory and we feel that the money we paid for it was well 

 spent. 



"This letter was written without solicitation and you have our 

 PBrmission to use any or all of same for publication." 



To which let us add that when you are ready to talk building, 

 say when and where and we'll be tliere.
