CONSERVATORIES 



Practicalness of the Leanto Type 



ONE of the best reasons for liking a leanto con- 

 servatory is because it seems to snuggle up to 

 the residence in such an unobtrusive way, that 

 it looks like a fore-thought, instead of the usual after- 

 thought effect. 



Then there's its expense. Or perhaps lack of it, is 

 the better way to put it. It costs less than others. 



But for conservatory purposes it is exactly as good 

 as those that cost many times as much. 



For sun rooms — places in which to let Old Sol take 

 the kinks out of our muscles as well as over tensioned 

 nerves — it is altogether ideal. 



It happens that in our catalogue there is a good bit 

 of practical Leanto information. 



To which let us add, you are most welcome to a 

 copy. 



If you care to have one of us come and talk over 

 your ideas on either a conservatory or greenhouse, we 

 will gladly do so; at your suggestion.
