WE SPOKE 

 LAST WEEK 



Sboul our kind of linseed oil that goes 

 into our Icind of greenhouse paint, and 

 Why— now about the greenhouse itself. 



Our many patented parts for the elimination of shading members, while giving increased 

 strength to the sashbar house has brought us many friends — friends who believe in our patents, our 

 materials and our way of building houses. But why build sashbar ridge and furrow houses, which 

 shade each other, when with the right amount of space, separate iron frame houses can be built, if 

 of good width and good length, without materially increasing the expense ? A better propo- 

 sition in every way because you have a lighter house — a more durable house — a house that costs less 

 in erecting and less to maintain. By costing less in erecting we mean that sashbar houses must be 

 cut and fitted "on the job," which takes a good bit more time than you have any idea of — if you 

 have not compared it with the speed with which an iron frame house goes up. With the iron frame, 

 all parts are passed through a line of machines at the factory, where they are cut, shaped, punched 

 and fitted and everything made ready for immediate erection when the materials are delivered to you ; 

 it's then merely a matter of setting up the parts and fixing the screws and bolts. So you see the 

 erecting expense is greatly reduced and practically equalizes the slight advance in cost of the iron 

 frame house over the wooden structure — and then what a machine you have to work with for at least 

 half a century to come. 



Tliis house shown is 45 feet ti inclies wide and about 30J 

 feet long, and is being erected for the Cottage Gardens 

 Company, tlie great carnation growers The benches used 

 by Mr. Ward are three feet, six inches wide and the house is 

 built to accommodate eight of them. 



The order for the hou.se was placed the last f)f January. 

 The photo was taken hrstof Mar h. Quick work - and goes 

 to show it's not an all season's matter with us to fill orders for 

 our iron frame hou.ses. 



Do you believe as thoroughly in economy as you think 

 you do ? If you do, then the question of erection costs and 

 23 per cent, less fuel expense will convince you that the 

 large iron houses are the only liouses to build.
