Pipe for the Worlds 
Largest Greenhouse,— 
and the Home You'll Build 
I N the world’s largest greenhouse—at North Wales, 
Pennsylvania—eighteen miles of Reading Genuine 
Wrought Iron Pipe distributes the heat which 
makes 80,000 rose plants bloom as well in January as 
in June, and throughout the metal framework which 
supports this enormous glass structure Reading Gen¬ 
uine Wrought Iron Pipe is used wherever the danger 
of corrosion is greatest and the bearing strain is 
most severe. 
Twenty years ago the owners built other greenhouses 
in which both steel and Reading Genuine Wrought 
Iron Pipe were used. The steel pipe quickly corroded, 
causing costly replacements. The Reading Genuine 
Wrought Iron Pipe resisted the corroding elements so 
well that its rate of depreciation proved less than one 
per cent per year—and the original pipe appears as 
good as new. 
This experience prompted the specification of Read¬ 
ing Genuine Wrought Iron Pipe when plans were 
drawn for this 700-foot greenhouse. And despite the 
great amount of moisture, this Reading Pipe—which 
was installed in 1909—shows practically no sign of 
corrosion. 
When you build, or remodel, a home, let 
these facts guide you in the selection of 
Reading—the pipe that endures. Consider 
the inconvenience and expense of tearing 
out walls, replastering and repapering, when 
concealed pipe corrodes. Think of the cost 
of the piping replacement itself. And re¬ 
member that a siliceous slag content gives 
Reading Genuine Wrought Iron Pipe a life 
of service two to three times that of steel.

Ultimate Cost.”

the Moated 
Protection was the first requisite of the medieval habi¬ 
tation. The flanking towers , the drawbridge , the moat and 
the encompassing wall—all symbolized the desire for com¬ 
plete protection within the knightly domain. 
Today Pacje Protection Fence 
The need for protection and seclusion 
persists in our own day. The modern 
home-owner demands that the vagrant 
and the prowler be directed elsewhere, 
and that the beauty of the property be 
preserved against the intrusion of the 
thoughtless trespasser. 
The massive battlements of the medi¬ 
eval day have given way to the simplicity 
and effectiveness of the Page Protection 
Fence. The sturdy, non-climbable wire- 
link enclosure assures complete protec¬ 
tion—and the simple attractiveness of 
the design gives an added touch of 
beauty and seclusion to the property.
