 favorite is properly labeled, and you will find more

If War Must Be Won by Food— 



as men like Herbert Hoover say, then we are making munitions in our factory. 



For our products greatly help the food production. They start the season earlier, because they defy 

 the frost. The}' increase the yield in the garden — the intrenchments of the American family. They 

 are utilitarian to the highest degree, but also they are economical and profitable. 



Never before have the American people had to face a food shortage. Never before has the garden 

 represented much more than a pleasure to the most of us. Never before has money been unable to 

 buy what we needed. 



Now, under the grim realities of War, the garden decides whether we live well or scantily. Its 

 products, to a large measure, determine our bill of fare — summer and winter. 



Then, it is up to all of us to increase the yield — to raise more and more — that the people may eat. 



Duo-Glazed Goods Make Garden Profits 



They double the growing season. They start the garden much earlier — prolong its life weeks and 

 weeks — all winter, even. 



The supply is not inexhaustible this year. With a demand for every car on the railroads, 

 with lumber advancing in price, and labor harder to get and still harder to retain, we are 

 not sure how long we can meet your demands. 



One thing we know certainly, however, is that the prices we quote to-day cannot long be 

 maintained. Every indication is of a higher figure. The 

 ardens need our goods, and orders now will be 

 filled at present prices. 



Order now. It means better attention, deliv- 

 ery on time, and prices lower than they 

 will be. You need not hesitate — our guar- 

 antee fully protects you. Catalogues on 

 request.
