How the Eternal Fitness of Things 
Concerns Your Greenhouse 
Y OU are thinking of 
building a greenhouse. 
Your architect designs 
for it a chaste, graceful 
workroom; perhaps like this 
one above. It is choice in 
every way, quite in accord 
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 con¬ 
sistently harmonize with it 
and at the same time meet 
your individual standards. 
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.
