|S 3'v*'.'"'?*'''^. '• 'or several years we have purchased woodwork and other 



materials from your company. The materials have always been entirely 

 eatlsf&btory, so that in ell of our businese dealings it has never been 

 naeesaary to infJce a claim apaihst you of any kind. Our business re- 

 lations have been so pleasant that we have always felt bb though It 

 was a sort of friendship that existed between us.

 irwlth estimates which you have Just submitted. Your prioes on material 



oompare very favorably with other bidB received, but we would be more 

 *'^lian willing to pay a premium for your houses. 



Our experience with Uoninger houses and our investigation of 

 other houses in various parte of the country leads us to believe that it 

 ^jf* useless to try and get a 'batter house or better value for the money 

 from any other manufacturer.

Q. Do you recommend the semi-iron house? 



A; '^ les, for it is a good house and when properly 



: /; built it is a hard house to beat as a money 



>;., maker. This is the type of house furnished 



^ to Manke Bros., whose letter we show here. 



: They now ha,ye nine houses and are building 



two more tfai,s season, making eleyen in all. 



Q. Some of your customers occasionally complain 

 about quality of materials-don't they? 



A. It may seem odd, but in all the years we have 

 been making greenhouse woodwork, we have 

 - - never had any cypress material returned to 

 us on account of poor quality. This is really 

 remarkable ^hen you con&idpr the great num- 

 ber of houses we make every year. 



Q. Do you cut^ces to fiTorite customers or for 

 advertising jwrposes? 



A. No. If youlr are in Montana and you want 

 material fo|: ten houses, we would Quote you 

 the same price we would make any other flo- 

 rist on an order of the same size anywhere 

 in the U. S. In other words, we are doing 

 >\)usiness on -merit and we give every customer 

 -a square d^J^^, You will find it pleasant to do 

 business witli us, and you can be sure of 

 -^J receiving value for your money. The letter 

 ' here published is one of a thousand proofs.
