The Florists' Review

The Particular Particulars of tl;ie 

 L. & B. Construction 



THIS ADVERTISEMENT is written 

 because of the remarks made by 

 one of our customers the other 

 day. He said : " My neighbor bought his 

 last house of 'So-and-So,' because he 

 claimed that your coDcern was getting 

 to be I o big that it couldn't give the at- 

 tention be vianted to little details." 



Now let's look into the matter and see 

 if that is so. 



While we were a little concern, it is a 

 fact that one man could look pretty 

 much after all the details. But as soon 

 as we began to grow, responsibilities had 

 to be divided. If you could drop in our 

 factory manager's office some morning, 

 you would find on his desk a report from 

 each one of the factory departments. 

 Evers one of these factory departments 

 is really a little business all by itself, 

 conducted by its manager. Every little 

 detail of each department is looked after 

 in the same careful way by each mana- 

 ger, as floes our head manager now look 

 after the. bigger details of the entire 

 business. 



The su eties that all details will be 

 looked after carefully are better than 

 they ever were. But that isn't all— we 

 have installed a large number of labor- 

 saving machines. They have so short- 



view of the greenhouse door taken at the Pitta- 

 burgta Cut Flower Ou., Bakeratown, Pa. Notice how 

 tb«- tops of thft bar iron *l(le posts have l>een flDlHbed 

 oft with angle ends. Other builders are apt to 

 leave them square. 



cutted time and reduced costs that we are 

 able better to perfect the little things 

 and finish our houses up better than ever, 

 with no increased cost to you. 



But still that isn't all— every bit of the 

 work that passes out of our factory is 

 thoroughly inspected. We take this par- 

 ticular care so as to insure, as far as 

 possible, our work being light in every 

 particular. 



Speaking of soine of the little things 

 we do, take a lo.k at this doorway of 

 Fred Burki's, for instance. You will no- 

 tice that the flat bar iron side posts have 

 the comers cut off at the top. They are 

 not left Slicking up there in an unfin- 

 ished, SQuare end. This, of course, does 

 not cause the house to grow any more 

 roses for Mr. Burki, but it is a great mt- 

 isfaution when he walks through his 

 houses with his friends to have all the 

 little details finished up in a workman- 

 like way. If we take such unusual pains 

 in these things, that are not really vital 

 to the house, it stands to reason that we 

 do give an (uual amount of care and at - 

 tention to the things that are vital. 



Isn't this, then, the kind of a house 

 you want to put your money in ? 



Want to talk it over? Say when and 

 where and we'll be there.
