Copyright, igoS By The Radford Architectural Chicago {0 1. IV'' Radford's Artistic Homes The Americaus are a nation of home builders. A man's standing in any com- munity is based largely on the kind of house he lives in. If it is his own home he enjoys an importance that does not attach to the man who pays rent. The instinct of home owning is as natural as the air we breathe. From the bird of the air who builds her nest in the spring to man, the king of all, it finds expression in various forms. One may wonder, in glancing over the beautiful structures shown in this book, at the marvelous advance made in home architecture in recent years. It is not a difficult stretch of imagination between the makeshift habitations of the early days to the beautiful habitations of comfort and luxury shown in these pages, yet it has been a development slow and surC; keeping pace with the advancement of the race along all lines. It will be noticed, in glancing over the images of this book, that there is a wide diversity of design shown in the houses. This is done deliberately, as the taste in home architecture is as wide as that in any other field. There are houses for people of moderate means and there are others for the more wealthy. But in every case the design is made with reference to convenience and economy, and no pains or expense has been spared in their preparation. We would have you know that every design shown is made by the best architects in the world, who have made a study of home architecture and that alone. So that what you see here represents the best that possibly could be secured. During the many months that it has been in preparation the volume has received the benefit of the most careful attention and many designs have been rejected to make place for others that were considered better. In a word, it is the best that could be secured. Now, the purpose in presenting this book to the public at this time is to make more easy the problem of house building for the dweller in rural communities, in small towns and in cities, for there are designs here that will be found adapted to any com- munity. In selecting the design of a house there are a number of factors that should be taken into consideration. The size of the lot, the possible slope of the ground and the surrounding buildings have much to do with the design. In other words, the ar- tistic sense will direct the selection of a design that will be in harmony with the sur- roundings. These are things that should he considered at the outset, for the selection of the design indeed is the most important feature of the problem. Pick a design that assures plenty of room for the needs of the family, and even of its future needs. It will not be necessary to consider the matter rf convenience, for the architects have solved that problem for you m every case. Every house is ijlamied from the inside and not from the outside; that is to say, the convenience of arrangement has been the first consideration, and we believe this fact will be appreciated by the wives and daughters. Now, as to the. location of the house, it should uot be placed in the middle of the lot. To provide lawn room and a place for shrubber.y and flower beds the house should be at one side or well back so that when tlie lawn decorations are lolaced tlie picture will be artistic and tlie grounds will seem to be really a part of tlie house. Often this point is overlooked and an otherwise stylish house is ruined by being out of harmony with the lot on which it sits. A man who builds a home owes a duty not alone to his family and himself, but he is under a moral obligation to tlie community as well. What we mean by this statement is that no man has a moral right to build a house that will be unworthy of tlie community in which he lives or which, by its lack of style, will tend to depreciate the value of property in the neighborhood. In house building, as in all other things in which men engage, the purpose should be improvement and betterment. So we advo- cate only a house built from accurately drawn plans, a house with style. As the house may be the habitation of the family for life, no greater calamity in a material way can l;)efall the owner than to discover when the house is complete that it is faulty in arrangement or in appearance. This is apt to be the case with a house built without plans. On the other hand, it is a source of constant joy and satisfac- tion to live in a house that is properly constructed from accurately drawn plans and which is worthy of the neighborhood. Let us impress upon your mind one vital thing. NEVER build a house without plans to work from. It is hardly necessary to tell you that no more foolish thing is ever done by a man than to try to build without plans or with rough pencil sketches that are just as bad. We could show you in our files thousands of letters from per- sons who have ordered plans after failing miserably in their efforts to build with- out accurate drawings. Here are some of the things that happen to the man who tries to build without plans : His house lacks style, that peculiarly pleasing aspect that is only possible in a house built from an accurate design. He wastes materials. He wastes the time of his workmen. He wastes nervous energy in worry over mis- takes, and when the house is done, if it ever is, he has a monstrosity that people laugh at as they go along the street. This window will not be square and that floor will not be level, and worst of all, he himself will be dissatisfied with it. Now, every design in this book is drawn with a faithful regard for mathematical accuracy, and there is no error to bother the builder. It is safe to say that the sav- ing in materials that will result from building after any of these plans will more than pay the price of them. So be sure you start right — build only with accurately drawn plans. We Illustrate in this Book ^.^^^2/1^,^ !!:^Jt^::f In the preparation of this work gfeat care has been exercised in the selection of original, practical and attractive house designs, such as seventy-live to ninety per cent of the people to-day wish to build. In drawing these plans special effort has been made to provide for the most economical construction, thereby giving the home builder and contractor the benefit of the saving of many dollars; for in no case have we put any useless expense upon the building simply to carry out some pet idea. Every plan il- lustrated will show, by the complete working plans and specifications, that we give you designs that will work out to the best advantage and will give you the most for your money; besides every bit of space has been utilized to the best advantage. $100.00 Plans for only $10.00 TMs department has for its founda- ^ "^ tion the best equipi^ed architectural establishment ever maintained for the purpose of furnishing the public with complete working plans and specifications at the remarkably low price of only $7.00 to $15.00 per set. Every plan we illustrate has been designed by a licensed architect, who stands at the head of his profession in this particular class of work and has made a specialty of low and medium-priced houses. The price usually charged for this work is from $75.00 to $100.00. \\/'l-|«j-^ \\Ae Oive Voil ^^^^ ^^^^ question you will ask is, "What do we get in these complete working plans and specifica- tions? Of what do they consist? Are they the cheap printed plans on tissue paper without details or specifications?" We do" not blame you for wishing to know what you will get for your money.

Elevations ■^ front, right, left and rear elevation are furnished with all the plans. These drawings are complete and accurate in every respect. They show the shape, size and location of all doors, windows, porches, cornices, tow- ers, bays, and the like; in fact, give you an exact scale picture of the house as it should be at completion.

Many advantages may be claimed for the com- plete plans and specifications. They are time savers, and, therefore, money savers. Workmen will not have to wait for instructions when a set of plans is left on the job. They will prevent mistakes in cutting lumber, in placing door and window frames, and in many other places where the contractor is not on the work and the men have received only partial or indefinite instructions. They also give instructions for the working of all material to the best advantage. Free Plans for Fire Insurance Adjustment ^ °" ^""^^ J every pre- caution to have your house covered by insurance; but do you make any provision for the adjustment of the loss, should you have a fire? There is not one man in ten thou- sand who will provide for this embarrassing situation. You can call to mind instances in your own locality where settlements have been delayed because the insurance com- panies wanted some proof which could not be furnished. They demand proof of lose before i^aying insurance money, and they are entitled to it. We have provided for this and have inaugurated the following plan, which cannot but meet with favor by who- ever builds a house from our plans. Immediately Upon Receipt of Information ^;<;™ \«^ f J^^ has been destroyed by fire, either totally or partially, we will forward you, free of cost, a duplicate set of plans and specifications, and in addition we will furnish an affidavit giving the number of the design and the date when furnished, to be used for the adjust- ment of the insurance. Without One Cent of Cost to You f^ without one particle of _ trouble. We keep a record of the number of the house design and the date it was furnished, so that, in time of los.-, all it will be noressary for you to do is to droj.i us a liue aud Tve will furnish the only reliable method of getting a speedy and satisfactory adjustment. This may be the means of saving you hundreds of dollars, besides much time and worry. Olll* I ihpf^l Prir'F'C Many have marveled at our ability to furnish such V/Mi L^iu^ltxi l-liw^a excellent and complete working plans and specihca- tion at such low prices.. AVe do not wonder at this, because we charge but $7.00 to $15.00 for a more complete set of working plans and specifications than you would receive if ordered in the ordinary manner, and when drawn especially for you, at a cost of from seventy-five to one hundred dollars. On account of our large business and unusual equipment, and owing to the fact that we divide the cost of these plans among so many, it is possible for us to sell them at these low prices. The margin of profit is very close, but it enables us to sell thousands of sets of plans, which save many times their cost to both tlie owner and the contractor in erecting even the small- est dwelling. Our ClUarantee Perhaps there are many who feel that they are running ■ some risk in ordering plans at a distance. We wish to assure our customers that there is no risk whatever. If, upon receipt of these plans, you do not find them exactly as represented, if you do not find them complete and ac- curate in every respect, if you do not find them as well prepared as those furnished by any architect in the country, or any that you have ever seen, we will refund your money upon the return of the plans from you in perfect condition. All of our plans are prepared by architects standing at the head of their iDrofession, and the stand- ard of their work is the very highest. We could not afford to make this guarantee if we were not positive that we were furnishing the best plans put out in this country, even though our price is not more than one-seventh to one-tenth of the price usually charged. Ojll ^-f M/itsrirll ^^^ ^^ ^^^ furnish a bill of material. We state this here particularly, as some people have an idea that a bill of material should accompany each set of plans and specifications. In cue first place, our plans are gotten up in a very comprehensive manner, so that any carpenter can easily take off the bill of material without any difficulty. We realize that there are hardly two sections of the country where exactly the same kinds of materials are used, and, moreover, a bill which vra might furnish would not be applicable in all sections of the country. We furnish plans and specifications for houses which are built as far north as the Hudson Bay and as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. They are built upon the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, and you can also find them in Australia and South Africa. Each country and section of a country has its peculiarities as to sizes and qualities; therefore, it would be useless for us to make a list that would not be universal. Our houses, when completed, may look the same whether they are built in Canada or Florida, but the same materials will not be used, for the reason that the custom's of the people and the climatic conditions will dictate the kind and amount of materials to be used in their construction.

This kind of a home costs no more to build than the ordinary structures usually seen in towns and villages, and the prospective builder can well afford to take a little time and investigate the latest designs.

Should we claim to be able to do so, a child would know that our statement was false. The price of labor and material varies so in the different sections that it is absolutely necessary for us to put a price on these houses that is elastic. The houses shown on these pages are modern, practical and attractive and are the best that the highest architectural skill was able to produce. Every requirement is taken into consideration. Economy in the use of material also was kept constantly in mind. If there is any house in this book that is pleasing to you, and which you would like to erect, we would advise consultation with your responsible contractor and material dealer. They will go into the matter thoroughly with you on the price proposition and it will not be necessary for you to run any risk whatever. They will be honest and fair with you as to the estimated cost of the building and the price will depend upon the amount of work to be done, the cost of material and the labor conditions. You are well aware that there are certain seasons of the year when you will be able to build a structure for from ten to fifteen per cent less than at other times. You will also experience a fluctuation in the price of building materials, over which we have no control, and you are no doubt well aware that even the finish in the house will increase or decrease the price considerably. The subject of estimated cost is one which has been discussed at great length by everyone who has done any building, and we have come to the conclusion that the only way we can estimate the cost of the houses we illustrate is, to put a price on them that is attractive and then advise our customers to consult with their reliable dealers and responsible contractors before beginning the work. They being on the on the ground are familiar with local conditions and the only people in position to make you an absolutely correct price. Never attempt to build without plans and specifications. They prevent mistakes and settle all disputes which may arise. Our plans and specifications can also be made the basis of contract. Start right, know exactly what you are going to do, and then you will find building a home a very pleasant task. OUR GUARANTEE There are many who feel that on account of the very low price at which we sell plans and specifications that the plans are of a cheap variety. We wish to assure you that you run no risk whatever. If, upon receipt of the plans, you do not find them exactly as represented, if you do not think them complete and accurate in every respect, if you do not find them as well prepared as those furnished by any architect in the United States, or any that you have ever seen, we will immediately refund your money upon return of the plans in good condition. All of the plans we furnish have been prepared by licensed architects standing at the head of their profession and the standard of their work is of the very highest. INDEX Prides.

THE RADFORD ARCHITECTURAL COMPANY 178 W.Jackson Blvd., CHICAGO, ILL 178 Fulton St., NEW YORK, N. Y. Cyclopedia of Cement Construction FIVE MASSIVE VOLUMES Two thousand pages— nineteen hundred illus- trations, diagrams, charts, plans and working drawings to demonstrate BY PICTURE every example given in the text — supplemented by over three hundred full page half-tone plates of unusual interest; handsomely and durably bound in three-quarter red morocco, full Persian library covers, marble tops. ABSOLUTELY BRAND NEW At the cost of thousands of dollars and yeais of ex- perience of hundreds of the best known practical cement experts, architects, construction and civil engineers, we have collected and prepared the only Cyclopedia of Ce- ment Construction in existence. There is not one line of useless information in the entire set. From cover to cover of each and every volume the work teems with the most vital kind of instruction to the concrete worker. It covers everything thoroughly, completely and authoritatively, from the history of cement through the various ages cleat down to its latest application; from the laying of a cement sidewalk to the building of huge municipal water systems of reinforced concrete, costing millions of dollars. A $100,000 SET OF BOOKS Not a collection of pretty pictures or fascinating tales of fiction, but five great big volumes, full of the soundest kind of instruction on the livest subject in the world to- day — the uses and the applications of concrete to modern building construction. One hundred thousand dollars is a big sum of money, but it really does not cover the actual expense to us to prepare this set of books. When you consider that the biggest authorities on the use of concrete, only the most expert engineers, have been asked to contribute to this great work, you will readily understand the gigantic nature of the task and will have a slight idea of the immensity of the cost. Then take into consideration the handsome appearance of the volumes, the durable attractive binding, and their great size and scope. If it was not for the fact that we expect to sell many thousand sets we could not afford to make any such offer as this. Special Introductory Sale YOURS FOR ONLY $1.00 Because this set of books has cost such an enormous amount of money to prepare, it is an absolute necessity for us to sell a great many thousand sets to get back even the actual cost to us. That is why we must advertise these books in the most effective way at the start. We do not believe we can advertise this set of books in any better way than to place a num- ber of sets in the hands of representative men in the concrete and cement industry.

Radford A BIG. PRACTICAL, yP-TO-THE-MINUTE BOOK FOR THE ARCHITECT, DRAFTSMAN, CONSTRUCTION MAN, CONTRACTOR, BUILDER AND CARPENTER THIS book contains the boiled-down essence of all the accurate information on the subject of " Framing " possible to obtain ; indispensable to the man who in any way has anything to do with construction. Wm. A. Radford, editor-in-chief of the American Carpenter and Builder ; editor-in-chief of the Cement World, author of " Practical Carpentry," " Steel Square U: ses, lement Houses and How to Build and Its Them," and othes' well-known and popular building books, is the author of " FRAMING." This is Mr. Radford's latest book, and it is the largest, the most com- plete and the most instructive building book ever written by him. It deals with the subject of '' Framing " in its multitude of forms and designs in a most thorough man- ner. Nothing is omitted that will help and guide on the construction of houses, barns, roofs, etc., while particular care has been taken to exclude any £ind every method of framing that has not been given a thorough and con- vincing test by experienced builders. Practical Features of This Great New Book " FRAMING " wiU be the largest book of its kind ever published. It consists of 356 pages, size 6 x9 inches, and printed from large, clear type on a high-grade book paper. More than 1 00 pages of illustrated details will be a feature that will make it most valuable. This large new book, " FRAMING," is written so that any reader can understand every page, every term used and every detail shown. It is entirely free from technicalities, and yet its pages are meaty with instructions to all classes of builders, from the youngest apprentice to the journeyman, as well as the practical builder and the largest contractor. Practical information is the keynote of " FRAMING." By practical, we mean information that can be successfully applied to the everyday work of the average carpenter, builder and contractor, as well as the more intricate forms of framing that come less often, but about which it is necessary to be fully posted. The book presents problems as they have been worked out by well-known architects and the man on the job. "' FRAMING " is illustrated with over 1 00 pages of detail drawings, diagrams, detail plates, etc., including many pages of full-page plates never before published, reproducing architects' original drawings, and also details of buildings in cJl stages of construction. The many parts into which " FRAMING " is divided makes it especially valuable, for the reason that each particular form of framing is given separate and distinct treatment, and anyone in search of immediate information on any given subject will not have to search through page after page, but will find the desired information under its own section and chapter heading. FRAMING " is the largest book on this comprehensive subject that has ever been published. No book attempting to treat this important part of construction has ever before so successfully covered the ground. Every phase, part and detail of framing a house, a roof, a barn or other structure is given and treated fully and exhaustively, with complete details showing each successive step to be taken. " FRAMING " is practical in that it shows the easiest and most common-sense way to do the work. It does not con- fine its descriptions to one person's ways or views, but shows many examples of each kind of framing, all of which have been fully tested by experienced workmen and can be relied upon to be absolutely correct.

Y. ^ The up-to-date mechanic in every kind of work trains his brain even more carefully than he ever trained his hand. That is the slogan of T\'.'entieth Centur>' Success — the trained mind in a trained body. ^ The man who uses the compass, the steel square, the chisel or the saw has got to have a true eye and steady hand. He learns in his apprenticeship how so train his eye and hand to the top notch of efficiency. Too often, however, this same man of the trained body forgets to train the mind that directs the work of the body. This kind of a man withi the untrained mind, while he may be able to doi mechanical work well enough, cannot do brain work and is bound to get in a rut in the long run. It takes a trained mind to read plans and blue prints; that's why so many workers live and die in the same kind of a position. You have seen the result on the first page of this advertise- ment. The untrained man becomes THE MAN WHO STOOD STILL. 1 ^ At the cost of thousands of dollars and years cf experi-^ ence of hundreds of the best known practical building experts, architects and construction engineers, we have col- lected and prepared the material for the greatest, most com- prehensive, the most practical, thorough and understandable?
