Are You? 



Missing a Good Thing? 



Read here the camera's reproduction of a letter written 

 by Pittsburgh's largest plant grower— a man you all 

 know, whose conservatism is well understood, whose 

 word counts for something. He says Federal Elastic 

 Cement is the best thing on the market for tightening 

 the roofs of old greenhouses. 

 Federal Elastic Cement never grows hard or disintegrates in the 

 package; never crumbles or pulls loose on thereof; lasts at least 

 five times as long as putty or any other glazing material; water- 

 tight; holds the glass— no breakage if your houses are putty- 

 bulbed with Federal Elastic Cement. 



We make a special grade for greenhouse glazing— a thin- 

 ner, short fiber consistency that can be used in a putty 

 bulb or mastioa machine. One pound goes as far as two 

 to three pounds of putty. Black is best, but almost any 

 color can be furnished. 



Write today for a trial pail, stating how many 

 square feet of glass you will putty- bulb this year. 



Price of Federal Elastic Cement, greenhouse grade: 



Per barrel (850 lbs.) per lb, 8c Per keg (100 or 150 lbs.) per lb., 10c 



Per hall-barrel (300 lbs.) per lb., 8c 



Price on trial palls quoted on request Special price on ton lots.

Oentleoen:- 



Replying to your Inquiry regarding my experience 

 with Federal Elastic Cement, I would say anyone who has old 

 houses and dees not use this Cement Is nissing a good thing. 



We used Federal Elastic Cement on sixteen old 

 houses in July, 1914. They were in pretty bad shape, but 

 since then not one light of glass h^s blown out. Had it not 

 stopped any leakage we would have been well paid in the 

 saving of breakage. If we had to put it on every year we 

 would do so, but it looks today the soz-.e as it did last fall. 

 It is a little hard to put on, but we think it is the best 

 thin^ that ever came out for greenhouses. 



Yours respectfully, 



JOHN BADER CO.
