Two Pipe Framers at Columbus, Ohio 



^as 



For H. W. Eropp we built three Ridge and Farrow 

 houses 28 by IdO feet and one 28 by 109 feet. 



Mr. Eropt> bad some old-time, narrow, wooden 

 houses, which in their day had been money-makers 

 for his fathers. But they would not produce the kind 

 of stock d^anded today. 



It was a case of build modem houses, or go out of 

 the business. Of course, growers don't go oat of 

 business. They keep getting into more and more 

 business. It's the way the growers have of growing. 



HUl & Dupree carry on their business under the 

 name of the Indianola Floral Company. Their flower 

 shop, in the heart of Columbus, is as attractive as it 

 is prosperous looking. 



In their two houses. 28 by 190 feet and 12 by 81 

 feet, they grow a lot of their potted stock, carnations 

 and ferns. 



More and more, the shop owners are also owning 

 their greenhouses. It means just that much more 

 profit for the shop owner.
