established reputation for reliability its fulfillment can always be de- 
^nd dependability. I pended upon. 
The N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station, at New Brunswick, N. J. t 
placed their greenhouse building operations with us. and the following 
is what Dr. J. G. Lipman, the Director, wrote after it was completed :

and I trust that we shall have occasion in the future to request your com- 
pany to bid on other work."
