IN 1907 we erected for Mr. Rutherford Trowbridge of New Haven, 

 Conn., this one compartment house at the right. It was 23 feet 

 wide and 33 long. Last year two more compartments were added 

 as shown above. 



We tell you this just to show you what a mistake it is to wait until 

 you can afford to build, all at one time, as large a greenhouse as you 

 feel you really want. Start with a small one now. Have it located and 

 designed so that additions may be made to advantage at any time. 



By way of comparison take the automobile. Only until recently has 

 it ceased to be looked upon as a luxury, and become an accepted impor- 

 tant part of our every day living scheme — a real commercial necessity. 



All this has been accomplished in practically ten years, by the means 

 of the avalanche of hundreds of concerns advertising. Consequently 

 everybody knows automobiles. 



Were there as many reliable concerns in the country exploiting green- 

 houses, then the mistaken notion that they are a luxury not to be pos- 

 sessed by those of modest incomes would long since have been dispelled. 



You willingly spend for numerous other pleasures twice the cost of 

 a U-Bar greenhouse again and again, and still continue to think in a 

 vague way that they are too expensive but "that some day you intend 

 having one." 



Why don't you find out right now what one of our houses costs? 

 Go into the details and give the question a fair chance. 



We do not claim that U-Bar houses are the cheapest houses you can 

 buy — as far as actual money expended is concerned. But it is true 

 that because of their extreme lightness, no other house constructed 

 without the U-Bars approaches it for lightness — and the lighter a 

 house is, the better and more abundant is the growth it produces. 



Having an entire frame of steel, the repairs on a U-Bar house are a 

 negligible quantity. 



The graceful airiness of the construction and its frank avowal of 

 purpose makes them a charming addition to any grounds — small or 

 extensive. Their delightful simplicity allows them to "fit in" prac- 

 tically anywhere. The comparing of U-Bar constructed houses with 

 others, is so illuminating, that we suggest your doing it. Let us know 

 where you live and we will gladly advise you of the nearest place where 

 you can see both kinds. 



Right now let us send you an interesting booklet entitled "Reasons." 

 It really contains no reasons at all — save the names and locations of 

 a goodly number of U-Bar greenhouse owners. 



Every owner, we feel, is a reason for your reasoning along the same 

 lines, and also becoming a U-Bar owner. 



SOME ot these bleak chilling days of De- 

 cember when the prospect of again having 

 outdoors flowers in your garden seems an in- 

 terminable ways off— you can imagine the joy 

 it would to be to go into a U-Bar "Sunshine 

 Shop" like this and pick flowers, forget your 

 worries and bubble over again with joyous an- 

 ticipations. Stol T d and hopeless indeed you p 

 would be if not stirred by such things. *■
