Big Houses for Big Business 



0EFORE Mr. Duolop placed his order with us for two 

 Sectioual Iron Frame houses, each 61 feet wide and 

 400 feet loag, he went to the States and visited many 

 prominent plants. He met men who had bouses of vary- 

 ing widths and differant constructions. He went at the 

 matter in a logical thorough way. 



Everywhere be found the same things true. The large 

 separate houses have proven themselves easier to handle, 

 more economical to operate, and produced the highest 

 quality of stock. He also found out that although the ma- 

 terials lor our Sectional Iron Frame construction cost 

 more than for Pipe Frame or Truss constructions, the 

 cost of erection was less. 



As an assurance of its durability, be saw at the F. R. 

 & P. M. Pierson piant. bouses thirty years old that are 

 good for half a century more. In all his inquiries be was 

 unable to learn of a single Lord & Burnham Sectional Iron 

 Frame house having ever been blown down. Mr. Duulop 

 concluded our houses were worth the money. 



We believe he is absolutely right in claiming to have 

 one of the most up-to-date plants in Canada. 



We tell you these things because, backed as they are 

 by the action of a conservative, careful business man like 

 Mr. Dunlop. they mean much. We should like to send you 

 our catalogue, or if you are thioking of building, we will 

 gladly come and talk things over with you. 



This gives you aomewliat of an idea of the way we frame and brace the arables of these wide houses.
