CATIONS 
All roof ventilating sash, roof, side and gable 
panels, also doors, are factory glazed with double 
strength clear glass, bedded in Metropolitan's famous 
greenhouse putty and secured with glazing nails. All 
wooden items are painted with two coats of Metro- 
politan "Dutch Boy'' greenhouse white paint, prior to 
glazing. Paint materials are included, in addition, for a 
third, or dress-up coat after erection. 
All panel sections and doors are carefully crated 
to assure safe arrival at destination. 
Hardware items comprise Schlage type locks, gal- 
vanized steel door and sash hinges with brass pins. 
Eave brackets and ridge brackets are of bronze or of 
malleable iron, galvanized. All steel items such as side 
panel-sill lugs, crosstie rods, sash battens, also nails, 
bolts, and screws are furnished galvanized or otherwise 
thoroughly rust-proofed. 
Ventilating apparatus provided with this structure 
is Metropolitan elbow-arm type, consisting of |"' gal- 
vanized steel pipe shafting, shaft hangers, shaft end 
plugs, elbow-arm type ventilator arms (lifters) and 
handchain-operated enclosed worm and gear type 
machine. 
With the materials we provide a complete set of 
plans and details, easily followed, for guidance in field 
erection. 
In some instances it may be desirable or necessary 
to have a WORKROOM attached to the METROLITE 
house, to provide for a complete self-contained unit. 
A suggested arrangement, Plan No. 2, is shown on 
drawing No. ML-1. We will be glad to mail the same 
upon request, also to quote prices. 
Structurally the workroom is similar to the standard 
METROLITE. However, the roof would be glazed with 
double strength ground (frosted) glass to diffuse the 
sun's rays, or it can be covered with a suitable solid 
material. 
PLANT BENCHES are furnished as a separate ad- 
ditional item. See price list. These benches are all- 
wood private house type. They have 2 x 4" rough red- 
wood legs and crossbearers, |’ rough redwood bottom 
boards and surfaced sideboards and sideboard caps. 
Wood legs are precut with lap joint, square 
shoulder end for rigid, square assembly with cross- 
bearers. Crossbearers are cut to exact length with 
chamfered ends as required. Sideboards are surfaced 
one side and two edges. End and corner cutting of 
boards, an easy operation, is done by purchaser for 
greatest accuracy. 
Necessary corner angles, nails, sideboard brackets, 
also paint for sideboards, are included. 
SHELVES AND SHELF BRACKETS are also avail- 
able at slight added cost. See price list. The shelf 
boards are |"' x 12" redwood, surfaced both sides. 
Shelf brackets are steel, of special design. They are 
supported by screws, on the sidewall panels. They 
may be easily lifted off when not required. Much 
added necessary space is available, at moderate cost, 
when needed. 
The subject of HEATING is important. For small 
to average length houses, one or two oil burning space 
heaters, thermostatically controlled, with built-in cir- 
culating fans, will generally suffice. If desired, other 
types of heating systems can be provided. Prices and 
data are available upon application.
