We Have Opened a Boston Branch Under 



the Charge of J, N. Keeler 



D 



jT is located" in the John Hancock Building, corner 

 of Franklin and Federal Streets, being near the 

 South Station, not far from Washington Street, and 

 handy by to the Flower Exchange. 



Mr. Keeler has been with us for some time and knows 

 our different constructions thoroughly. 



He also is accurately informed on constructions in 

 general, having had the advantage of being associated 

 with other greenhouse concerns before coming with us. 



Many of you already know Mr. Keeler. Those of you 

 who don't will find him to be a frank, earnest, likable 

 man, with whom you will find it both a satisfaction and 

 a pleasure to do business. 



In the last year we have erected several iron frame 

 houses with the rafters spaced 12 feet apart instead of 8. 

 The glass is 20 inches wide (not 24). 



Not only does this modification of our standard con- 



struction make a lighter house, but you have also a third 

 less columns. With houses wider than 40 feet, for those 

 who want the fewest f^^ssible columns across the house, 

 as well as lengthwise of it, we have our Special Lattice 

 Rafter Construction, which has many decided advantages 

 in its favor. 



Then there is our curved eave construction and the way 

 we have successfully solved the side ventilation problem, 

 which has always been a certain drawback to that type 

 of construction. 



All these things Mr. Keeler is thoroughly informed on, 

 and we hope you will give him the opportunity to talk 

 them over with you. 



"Safety First" is, and always has been, the basic prin- 

 ciple of our constructions. You can depend on depending 

 on Hitchings Houses. 



Our catalogues you are heartily welcome to.
