Could we attach a workroom and greenhouse something like this to your garage? 

 Is there room at the south or east side ? Would one 18 x 33, like this one, be 

 large enough ? Why not 18 x 50 with two compartments ? 



GREENHOUSES 



Advantages of Combining with the Garage 



HA D you noticed that the broadened use of the 

 auto and the general acquiring of greenhouses 

 have gone hand in hand ? 



The linking of garage and greenhouse was the natural 

 result. But it was also an economy result. 



While heating one, it is easy to heat the other with but 

 litt'e more coal. 



If the greenhouse is built directly against the garage 

 and a part of it used as a workroom, it saves the expense 

 of building such a room. 



If the workroom is necessary and then attached to 

 the garage; as in the one above; the cost of one work- 

 room gable is saved. 



There are always also many advantages in having all 

 your buildings grouped as compactly as possible. 



If you are thinking of having such a combination, bear 

 in mind that the greenhouse must be attached at either 

 the east, south, or west side. On the north only if you 

 desire to grow orchids, ferns, palms and such semi-shade 

 thriving plants. 



If you will send us a photo of your garage and indicate 

 which side faces south, we would gladly suggest a green- 

 house best adapted to it. 



Let us know whether you have room in the garage to par- 

 tition off for a workroom; and if there is a cellar under it. 



Then if you would say whether you wanted to spend 

 $500, $1,000, or say $2,500; it would avoid our sending a 

 sketch of a combination that you might promptly set 

 your heart on; but be "a bit more than you cared to 

 spend, just now." 



Let us keep well within the limits of the possible, so 

 we can work together in making this greenhouse dream 

 of yours an early reality. 



To our catalogue, you are most welcome.
