The Cost 
Of U-Bar Greenhouses 
THEY cost somewhat 
more than other con- 
structions, because they 
cost more to construct. 
They cost more to con- 
struct, because they are of 
superior construction. 
A Pierce-Arrow auto costs 
more than an Overland. Both 
are good cars. But no one 
questions which is actually the 
best car. The U-Bar house, if 
you want to put it that way, 
is in the Pierce-Arrow class. 
There are a lot of people 
who always want the best 
there is, and are always willing 
to pay for it. For such the 
U-Bar house exactly meets 
their requirements as no other 
house can. 
If you want us to send our 
catalog to your employer, we 
will be glad to follow your 
suggestions. Of course you 
are also welcome to one. If 
you want to see us — say so — 
we will drop around.
