No — You Are Wrong 



That is to say you are wrong if you think our 



No. 2 Construction is just th« same as the No. 1, 



only made lighter in widths up to 40 feet, for 



which it is used. 



Of course, it's plain that the wider the house the 



more staunch the framing must be. 



But the No. 2 has features absolutely differing 



from the other. 



The post detail at the eave, for instance. 



And the spacing between rafters and the number 



of lights of glass. 



Of course, both construc- 

 tions are based on our orig- 

 inal iron frame basis of 

 wrought iron posts, and 

 steel rafters and purlins. 

 But you know that all 

 iron frame houses, with 

 the exception of the wrought 

 post, have steel rafters and 

 purlins.

No. 1 Construction 



Theo. Hengstenberg, Hempstead, L. I 

 41 ft. X 125 ft. 



It's not so much what you use, as how you use it. 



Not so much how much iron and sieel there is in 



the frame, as is it rightly placed? 



Is there more than necessary, or less than safety 



demands? 



To know what is right, we have the right to know. 



But it wasn't picked up in a year, or in five years. 



It's the result of years and years of experience. 



Half a century in fact. 



So far as we know, no greenhouse concern has 

 been gathering experience 

 as long as we have. 

 It's a thing to bear in 

 mind before you sign a 

 contract, just because the 

 price may on the Isurface 

 look less. 



No. 2 Construction 



Snell & Bronner, Mohawk, N. Y. 

 40 ft. X 150 ft. 



Those who buy solely on 

 price, generally pay dearly 

 for what they thought was 

 buying cheaply.
