Tea Room With Conservatory Attachment 
A NY attractive, cozy room, providing it contains a tea table 
in a more or less out-of-the-way position, is eligible, so they 
say, to be called a tea room. The term, it would seem, is a 
broad one—its pleasurable inclusions many. 
It happened that this particular tea room is so sunny, with its 
group of long casement widnows, that it might equally well be 
called a sun room. 
Opening directly from it by glassed doors, is the plant and 
bloom-filled conservatory. In the center is a fountain — a choice 
one of rare treatment. The complete effect from the tea room is 
best described by the word, alluring. 
But that isn’t all — it’s soothing—soothing to tired nerves, is all 
that restful greenery with its spots of bloom color. 
To daily chum with the plants and do little things for them, will 
turn many a lagging Winter hour into quite the most joy-receiving 
of the day. 
All of which has much to do with the reason for our building so 
many conservatories. Send for our Catalog. Or send for us. Or both.
