The Florists' Review 



December 24, 1914. 



MONINGER "ALL-STEEL" 



MEANS 



LASTING STRENGTH 



The "All-steer' House Is the 

 Perfect Greenhouse 



YOU ought to know the old saying, "A chain is no stronger 

 than its weakest link." It's a true saying and it holds 

 good on other things, too. No greenhouse is stronger 

 than its weakest part, and that's why our houses are "all- 

 steel " down to the last detail. 



Steel with its finely knit molecules is the strongest 

 structural material on the market— everybody admits this. 

 Then why use steel for rafters and iron for wall posts? The 

 wall posts carry the whole load and should not be made of 

 weak material. Wrought iron is cheaper, too. 



Actual tests made with modern steel and wrought iron 

 show the steel to be equal, if not superior, to iron in resisting 

 rust and corrosion. Modern steel is diiferent than it was a 

 few years ago. Experiments made years ago don't count 

 now. You can have the proofs if you want them. Plain 

 "bunk" doesn't go with us. 



There are no castings in our house. The eave is held on 

 with a drop forging with rivlted steel lugs. Castings won't 

 hold. You'll have trouble with them. 



Your new house of "all-steel" construction won't cost 

 you any more than the "mixed-breed" variety. We don't 

 try to save money on the quality of material in our houses, 

 but we do save it by efficient and economical management of 

 our business. 



The "all-steel" is the house of the future. It's the 

 perfect greenhouse. Don't buy any house until you are sure 

 you don't want ours. 



A look up at the roof in one of the CO-foot GuUett houses. 

 Notice criss-cross bracing for length- of- house strain.
