Tomato Plants Grown by the Million 

 in the Burt Olney Canning Co/s Houses 



|HE problem that has confronted the 

 Burt Olney Company for years was to 

 get the growers from whom they buy 

 their tomatoes to plant only good strong 

 stocky plants that would stand early setting 

 out, so that the crop could be rotated and 

 not flood the canneries with tomatoes for a 

 few short weeks. 



Mr, Olney came to the conclusion that the 

 only way to control the situation was to grow 

 the plants themselves and furnish them to 

 the growers at a price sufficient to cover the 

 cost of producing Ihem. 



He had us erect for him nine iron frame 

 houses, 33x150 ft., five at Albion, N. Y., and 

 four at Medina. 



This shows tin strut on the compres- 

 sion truss. Note how the truss rods are 

 securely bolted between the double 

 strut plates. No threads to strip as in 

 tension trusses. 



The plants are grown by the million ifi the 

 houses and hardened off as needed in frames. 



After the tomato plants are out of the 

 houses it was Mr. Olney's plan to use the 

 space for growing chrysanthemums and other 

 short crops. / 



With the same keen foresight so charac- 

 teristic of this Canning Company's success, 

 they put their money in the best iron frame 

 houses money would buy. They, did not 

 hesitate to invest in houses that were a per- 

 manent investment. 



If it is a good sense investment for this 

 Canning Company to build iron frame houses 

 to 'grow tomato plants in, it's a good sense 

 investment for you, no matter what you grow. 



When do you want to see one of our repre- 

 sentatives about such an investment?
