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 
H A 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.
