The Frame of Our Iron Frame 



You know that it takes much more strength 

 to hold a weight out at arm's length, straight 

 from your shoulder, than it does when held closer 

 to your body. 



How altogether reasonable it is to apply the 

 same principles to framing a greenhouse! 



Our method of iron framing is based on that 

 same principle of placing the supporting mem- 

 bers in such a way that the load is distributed 

 and eased up, so that there are no excessive 

 strains on the columns. 



Trussing — unless it is the compression type — 

 we protest against using. 



Look at this 55-foot house above and com- 

 pare its extreme simplicity of compression fram- 

 ing with other houses of similar widths; and 

 you surely must be impressed with the advan- 

 tages of such simplicity in construction. 



In this week's Florists' Exchange we take two 

 pages to show our New Cantilever Iron Frame 

 that requires fewer rafters, fewer purlins, fewer 



columns, and still has the necessary strength. 



Twenty-inch glass is used. 



Be sure to look the Ad. up. 



Better yet, let us come and talk it over with 

 you.
