How the Eternal Fitness of Things 
Concerns Your Greenhouse 
YOU are thinking of building 
a greenhouse. Your ar- 
chitect designs for it a 
chaste, graceful workroom per- 
haps like this one above. It is 
choice in every way, quite in ac- 
cord with your idea; entirely re- 
flective in both beauty and 
quality of everything else you 
possess. 
Then comes the question of the 
greenhouse that will consistently 
harmonize with it and at the same 
time meet your individual stand- 
ards. 
Were you then to look over 
the rather unusual collection of 
photographs of U-Bar houses, 
here in our office and learn of 
their locations and owners, we 
are sure you would be self- 
convinced, that the U-Bar Green- 
house fully meets your standard. 
If it's not possible for you to 
come to our office, we will gladly 
bring our photographs to you. 
Or send you our catalogue. Or 
both.
