In England this idea has been most completely worked out. In fact, | it has gone further and the largest English industries are erecting complete villages, or garden com- | munities, as they are called. The several hundred Aladdin houses now standing at Birmingham, England, were ordered by cable February 1, 1917, shipped from Bay City before March 1, 1917, exported, erected and completed | under our own supervision early in June of 1917, thru special arrangement of the British Government. | = . % NAR A re-order of the same quantity was authorized just prior to the completion of the project—an evidence ifn of economy, efficiency and practicability of Aladdin Service. | | \ — ne ———— —— ee ~ — = = ———SS er} i i eeiiss8— 280 RB SQ S]S]]—]_—__|l_ ]———S Seq ———s 9 © Theory has no part in this presentation of the solution of Industrial Housing — “T have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that 1s the lamp of experience.” ~. |HE industrial housing “problem” ceases to be a problem to any alert manufacturer when stripped of the theoretics of professional “experts.” The urgent housing necessities of many manufacturers have been studied to death by these self-styled “pro- fessors.”’ The application of straight business judgment in the purchase of that part of the plant, which we will call the workman's housing department, will solve the “problem” in the same way as the addition of a new generator to the power plant. The purchasing agent calls in a manufacturer of generators—not a professor of electroletic something-or-other. The gener- ator manufacturer applies his experience to the necessity, makes a price under a guarantee of resu/ tS, and the trangaction is consummated.

Portable houses had failed to meet the demands of permanent, individual or industrial needs. The carpenter-cut-to-fit-methods of building houses were on a par with the blacksmith-shop- built automobile. To substitute factory machine production for hit-and-miss hand labor, the Aladdin Com- pany originated, perfected and established the Aladdin Readi-Cut System of Construction. This system resulted in securing volume, with con- sequent specialization of men and machinery in the several parts of the product, the elimination of waste of raw materials, the development of shorter, newer and better ways of construction, the more rapid accomplishment of the completed project and the centralization of responsibility for its success. At the beginning there was much resistance to the thought that it was possible to substitute machine labor for hand labor in house building. The passing years have completely eradicated this opinion. The latest triumph of the Aladdin System is its acceptance by the United States Government and the adoption of the Aladdin Readi-Cut specifications as standard in asking for bids on certain government projects. The Aladdin Company has applied the best manufacturing practices to the business of house building. The experimental stage was passed ten years ago, and accumulated experience dur- ing the past decade is available to the purchaser of this standardized product. The Aladdin Company holds the speed rec- ord for cantonment construction for the United States Government, and matched the low cost record in the same field. And this job was con- structed by the Readi-Cut System. Several hundred of the country’s largest corporations have purchased houses in quanti- ties, and one of England’s greatest munition plants houses its employees in Aladdin Houses. At the Company’s five manufacturing plants there are carried constantly instock, ready and available for immediate shipment, several thousand houses. The Company will furnish practically from its own stock anything from a single house, with its complete heating, lighting and plumbing equipment, to a complete citv—sewers, walks, pavements, lighting and water works systems, stores, schools, churches, hotels and dwelling houses. The executive staff is prepared to meet any situation arising out of housing necessities any- where. ‘The field staff of the Company includes expertenced city-planners, architects, engineers, construction superintendents and foremen. Our field staff has operated in Texas and most of the central western states, in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Delaware, Pennsyl- vania, New York, New Jersey, Quebec, Canada and in England. The accumulated experience and records of these projects are of unusual value and become a part of the service available to our chents.

First: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses—F. O. B. Mills at a definite price. Second: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses at a definite price—including superintendence of construction. Third: Furnishing complete materials Readi-Cut for houses at a definite price-—including superintendence and full responsibility for completion of project on a basis of cost plus percentage for labor and erection expenses. Fourth: Furnishing complete materials for a city comprising homes, public service build- ings, such as stores, hotels, schools and churches, and the complete foundation material, heating plants, lighting fixtures and plumbing fixtures for each building, complete electric street and private lighting service and generating plant; materials for installation of sewage distribution and water supplv systems, curbing and sidewalk materials; tree plantings and grass seed necessary for completion of landscape scheme. Plan No. 1: This plan includes the completely manufactured house F. O. B. cars the Aladdin Mills at a stated price, in accordance with general specifications as shown on page 7. To ship the complete material in a single car for one, two or three houses, and to have it all on the ground at one time is a tremendous advantage. It eliminates all delay incident to purchase of the many items entering the construction. It insures quantity prices on every item from the joists to the varnish. It evades the executive time-wasting of following up slow deliveries, checking deliveries, prices and quantities from many different sources and it insures the quickest possible consummation of the entire project. Back of each shipment is our unqualified Hutson ne of sufficient material for the completion of each house. A great many of the largest corporations and the United States Government prefer to use this plan in the purchase of the Aladdin houses, for the houses being manufactured in our mills, they can be erected very rapidly, and at a great saving in time and erection cost. By the utilization of Plan No. 1, the purchasers secure for themselves all savings that our system of construction makes possible from the time of shipment to the completion of the work. Plan No. 2: This plan includes all of Plan No. 1, and in addition thereto we furnish competent foremen and superintendents at specified costs to handle the erection of the houses. This plan appeals to those who cannot conveniently secure someone of competent ability to superintend the erection for them. It places at their disposal a foreman or superintendent with expe- rience in the erection of Aladdin houses, and who knows at once just how to proceed in order to derive all of the benefits and savings in time and money that our system of construction makes possible. Plan No. 3: Includes Plan No. 1 and in addition thereto, we will accept the full responsibility. for the entire project on a basis of cost of labor, and other erection expenses, plus a small percentage. This means that the Aladdin houses are furnished at a definite stated price F. O. B. cars the Aladdin mills, and the entire transaction handled by us from there on at an actual cost plus a small percentage. This plan is used where the undertakings are of considerable size, and our customers desire to relieve themselves from all attention to matters of this kind. Plan No. 4: The prices quoted for cities and mining towns include the completely manufactured houses and such other materials as may be specified, F. O. B. cars our Aladdin Mills. We will furnish competent superintendents, engineers, and assistants at specified costs to direct the erection of the project, or we will accept the full responsibility for the completion of the entire project on a basis of cost for materials, cost of labor, and other erection expenses, plus a small percentage. ——— Se ee -~: —— ———e — —— 6 LZ _—————————— _—_————— vit Hitt fill First: Houses ANY of the keenest corporation purchasing agents in the country have sifted the house building question to the very bottom and determined that Aladdin Service met the necessary requirements of: design and highest grade materials. Second: Low cost as matched against the ordinary type of local contractor-built houses. Third: Speed in delivery of material and fast completion of project. Why Other Corporations Buy Aladdin Quality, which in house building includes proper architectural and structural Exactly what Aladdin Quality means will be learned from the following general specifications: Although these specifications are general, individual specifications for each house are printed on same page showing illustration of the house Foundation.—The larger houses are ordinarily furnished to set on permanent foundations such as concrete, brick, or stone; the smaller ones are usually fur- nished to set on either pier or post foundations, which, of course, cost less than solid foun- dations. The houses will be supplied either way desired. The foundation material, of course, is not included with the houses, for this can usually be had in one locality at as low a cost as in another. Complete foundation plans are furnished, with detailed instructions for securing the foundation ma- terial, and building the founda- tion. Sills—Center sill, or sills, are, of course, always furnished to set into your foundation of concrete, stone or brick. All sills are of a size to amply hold all strains and loads in ac- cordance with engineering stand- ards and good practice. Joists.—All framed, dressed and cut to fit. All joists are of a size to amply hold all strains and loads in accordance with engineering standards and good practice. Flooring.—The flooring used in Aladdin Houses is clear and knotless, tongued and grooved, accurately matched. It has a beautifully figured grain. The face is steel scraped to give the very best appearance. Bridging.—Wood bridging mitered both ends is furnished for all houses having 2 x 8 joists or wider. Sub-Floors (for both first and second stories in all Aladdin dwellings except where other- wise specified).—Inch lumber, dressed, all cut to fit. Studding.—Size, 2x4 inches, all framed, dressed and cut to fit and placed on 16-inch centers. Wall Sheathing.—Inch lum- ber, all dressed and cut to fit.

Shingles (Roof).—Extra Star- A-Star Cedar orprepared roofing. Building Paper.—Pure White Fibre, tough and dense, for side walls and between sub-floors and finished floors of all Aladdin dwellings. Side Walls.—Dollar-A-Knot Cedar Siding; perfectly ma- chined surface and without sap, stain or any defects. Holds paint perfectly. Shingles for side walls instead of siding will be furnished for any Aladdin ‘dwellings without extra charge. Porch Columns.—All Colonial columns and square columns are of clear material. Outside Finish.—The outside finishing lumber is largely Yel- low IPime or Iie, Careers lly selected and well machined, and accurately cut to fit. Window and Door Frames.— Complete, including jams, cas- ings, stops and sills. Built of finest stock, beautifully ma- chined and finished. Window Sash.—The window sash are of clear Fir or clear Pine, attractively molded on the in- side, and both sides well sanded and _ finished. Doors.—Inside doors, size 2 feet 8 inches by 6 feet 8 inches, carefully built of clear stock, all panels selected for attractive, velvety grain and beautifully finished on surfaces and edges. All doors mortised to receive lock sets. All front doors of special design with glass in upper part. Double action door between kitchen and _ dining room. S.airs.—Built from selected clear stock with especial atten- tion to selection of grain. Newel post, molded cap and_ base, circle tread, steps, risers, railing and balusters carefully finished.

ANAND IDIIN | jm aap spet +7 _ SE —=—— i “Aladaae Cine AREFUL research and intensive field work covering the subject of modern workmen’s homes has re- | sulted in the preparation of plans for a new indus- trial housing service—Aladdin Cities. The ordinary housing necessity of two years ago, has now grown to a demand for complete cities. This demand, and the fact that the location of the new city project is generally distant from established centers of commerce, make it impracticable to send a hurried call to the different professionals, such as city planners, industrial housing “experts,” civil, sewage and electrical engineers, landscape archi- tects and others. To delay the project in a lengthy study which tends to hold up its completion, cannot be allowed under modern conditions. Aladdin Cities were planned, designed and prepared primarily for rapid completion, and yet are built upon established principles of health and comfort in modern civic life. The usual preliminary delays incident to studying the situation are eliminated by Aladdin Service. City building is a new art. Its relation to the profession of city planning is that the latter is merely a part of the work of the organization engaged in city building. The profession of city planning begins and ends on the draughting board. City building, on the contrary, is practical work of experienced en- gineers, contractors and builders. The responsibility of city building, which embraces every branch of constructive and engineering science, is the task for the larger organization with wide experience and tested efficiency. Significant, therefore, that this new task be initiated and fostered by the Aladdin organization, the largest of its kind in the building and manufacturing industry. The Aladdin organization represents every branch of construc- tive and engineering skill necessary to the city project. It is composed of building architects and landscape architects, civil engineers, electrical engineers, building engineers, and superin- tendents of construction with wide experience in handling large projects, heating experts, plumbing experts, home lighting en- gineers, and interior decorators. Their work embraces designing and planning of cities and home settlements, designing of build- ings, street and highway construction, electric generating plants, lighting and distribution, water filtration and distribution, sewage disposal systems, heating, lighting and ventilation of homes and public buildings, decoration of homes, both exterior and interior, landscape decorating, such as parks, thoroughfares and home grounds. On file in our offices are complete plans for every branch of the engineering work of the cities illustrated in this book. This is a tremendous advantage where dispatch is necessary. You realize, of course, that it is impossible to catalog or list a number of city plans providing for different groups of population, and have any one plan fit or prove practical for all topographies. Aladdin Cities are so planned that with slight modification all will be suitable for most communities. While contour. and topo- graphical maps are necessary before the engineering work can begin, the preliminary work, such as arranging civic groups, con- struction of public highways for convenience, attractiveness and practicability, placing of the public service buildings, such as stores, hotels, churches, schools, etc., the selection of homes, different types and sizes, is all ready and on file. Added to this is the advantage of having plans for the sewerage conveying systems, water distribution systems and electric plants completed and in such shape that the constructive work can be started in less than a week’s time. It is possible in a few day period after instructions are received to start materials on their way to destination. A general description of the more important details in connec- tion with Aladdin Cities follows. The City Plan If a town is planned so that it is a pleasant place to live in and carry on business, the following features must be given proper consideration: Avoidance of congestion of traffic, plenty of room for proper living and housing conditions, accessibility to different parts of the city, the proper location of parks, open spaces, and recreation and air circulation, sewage and water facilities, future growth. In the following several plans of different sized towns, care has been given to verify the streets, lot arrangement, grouping of buildings, civic center parks, playgrounds, factories, etc., so that they will be suitable for any condition of topography or other contingency that may be encountered. They, however, can be modified slightly without destroying the important elements that go to make up a well designed town plan. Homes The attractiveness of a city is no greater than the comfort and happiness of its home life. Attractive homes, convenient, sanitary and comfortable, should form the nucleus around which great cities are built. Aladdin Cities are beyond the experimental stage, in that they, are built with the rich experience of the thirteen years in the planning and designing of the Aladdin home, which has been highly endorsed by the American public during this period of time. Aladdin Readi-Cut Houses make possible the greatest des- patch in the erection of Aladdin Cities. An Aladdin Readi-Cut House, being completely manufactured in the mills, minimizes hand labor on the ground. Every house assigned to an Aladdin City has proven its desirability and practicability by its popularity during the thirteen years of Aladdin’s dealing with the American builder. A sufficient variety of homes are furnished in each city to provide for the different sized families. The plumbing is modern and complete, providing for full bathroom in each home, with kitchen and basement water service. Heating plants of the warm air type, each capable of properly heating the home, have been provided and will prove a match for the lowest temperature. Complete electric lighting fixtures are included for all homes in the city. Full concrete basement floors with foundations set on heavy footings are a feature of every home as priced for the city project. Eave troughs and conductor pipes are a part of the specifica- tions for each home. Cement sidewalks from the street sidewalk to front and rear entrances are also included. Lawn grass seed for curb park space and home yard lawns is furnished. Tree plantings for the curb parkway for the entire city are included. Public Service Buildings Not satisfied with specifying a certain number of public service buildings based on statistics, an investigation was made to ascer- tain retail merchandising conditions of the United States. It was eee SESE SESSSE=a — Aladdin Cities found that in the United States there are more than half a million retail stores, which means one store for every 200 population, or every forty families. The average gross profits in the retail business, such as grocer- ies, meats, etc., averaged 8% to 17% for the year’s volume, net profits from 1.13% to 7.01%. This condition is due to over- crowding in the field. One retailer can conveniently serve 300% more accounts without increasing his payroll or equipment. Therefore, the public service buildings in Aladdin Cities have been limited to a number that will accommodate each community with 100% service and still prove a profitable investment for the merchandising tenant. Proper provision was also made _ for growth in business so that the tenant can carry a larger stock as it becomes necessary. Churches Churches of attractive types are furnished for Aladdin Cities. They are complete with the exception of interior furnishings. Plumbing, heating and lighting are also included, each modern in type and of sufficient capacity. Schools Provision has been made in each city plan for five years’ normal growth in designing and specifying school buildings. Buildings are complete with the exception of interior furnishings, and materials for each school building are furnished completely from the footings for the foundation to the bell in the bell tower. Hotels The hotel service afforded in smaller towns is not always suit- able to the traveling public. The possibilities of an improvement in service are provided for in the hotel plans for Aladdin Cities. Plumbing, heating and lighting, each especially designed for respective buildings, are modern and of high quality. Hotel accommodations for Aladdin Cities of different populations are greater than will be found in the average city of these sizes. Public Works The public works, namely: Sewerage System, Water Dis- tributing System, Concrete Curbs and Gutters, and Cement Side- walks, which have been provided for Aladdin Cities are complete in every detail. The materials are the best of their respective kinds. The systems have been designed in accordance with the best engineering practices, the result being that each lot will have satisfactory service from all of the works with minimum amount of maintenance cost. The combined storm water and sanitary sewerage systems provide for the drainage of the rain water through a sufficient number of an approved type of catch basins, and also all domestic water. The sewers are to be laid at a sufficient depth to carry off the drainage from the basements as well as ground water which in some localities accumulates around the foundation walls. The water pipes are of ample size to furnish an abundance of water through fire hydrants located at each street corner and elsewhere as required to give complete fire protection in any part of the town Concrete curbs and gutters are laid on both sides of all streets and where they connect with the storm water, inlets are slightly depressed so that all rain water from the roadways will be speedily delivered therein. ——— — % PS Dare ee ; o .

Sovereign City Ground Area 274 Acres Population, 3000—Homes for 800 Workmen. OVEREIGN CITY, with a population of 3,000, is somewhat pretentious and includes all the studied relations of town-planning that anticipates a future growth and increased population. It may or may not bea suburban town, with the principal railroad along one side, and the factory district and power plants, etc., on the opposite side. Proper railroad location and facilities will make it an ideal residential section with possibilities of industrial growth. Streets and Lots.—The street system is so arranged to relieve congestion by two leading radials of calculated width. The remaining streets follow the lot and block plan, but are so modified in distance that they do not become monotonous. A boulevard encircles the town, joining the parks together, which not only will be pleas- ing for driving, but permits of expansion. The lots are quite uniform in size and are well arranged. A few business lots are suggested adjacent to the civic center. Civic Center.—A most pleasing civic center has been provided, giving ideal locations for public buildings for every need to the community. It is so arranged with an open space that it gives a quadrangle effect, which is pleasing when properly planted. Every section of the city is in direct communication with it, and the railroad station forms an axial point, giving quick access to the center of the business and residential districts. Housing Accommodations.—In a limited number of recent housing projects, the terrace type home was used to save ground space, as their owners express it. The inconsistency of this type of housing is shown by the extra amount of ground space that must be given over to parkways or boulevards of extreme width to provide adequate air circulation. In summing up, sufficient ground space cannot be saved by the terrace home plan to make the detached house impractical. Terrace homes are of the tenement type and are not as satisfactory to the American wage earner as a “home of his own.’’ Crowding cramps the workman and curbs his pride of his home community. The homes which make up the residential section of — | Sovereign City are modern in construction, distinctive in design, convenient and comfortable in arrangement. za — ——_ — — $$ —— — A —— =| Each home is an Aladdin home which has fulfilled all the frame building requirements of city building codes of the United States. Aladdin Homes are also widely known for their attractive appearance, which places an extra value on the finished project. Completely furnished, including full cement basement, warm air heating system, modern plumbing in bathroom and electric lights thruout, the housing accommodations of Sovereign City are surpassed nowhere. Factories.—The factories are shown situated across the railroad from the town proper. Drainage and Water Systems.—The drainage and water systems have been prepared at reasonable costs to give the greatest efficiency to the factories, business and residential districts. A system large enough to take care of all future needs, is provided. Lighting and Public Utilities —All public and semi- public utilities should be properly arranged so that reasonable effectiveness can be produced. The street lighting system planned for Sovereign City is the well known boulevard post system. Ornamental posts are furnished complete for the city lighting plan. Parks and Playgrounds.—Large areas are given over to parks and open places, sufficient to make the town most attractive for scenic effects and a prosperous appearance. It is the intention of using these large park areas for playgrounds as well, hence the omission of fewer smaller play areas. The park in the civic center can be developed most pleasingly and used constantly. Plantings.—Special care has been given to proper plantings along the boulevard by alternating tree plant- ings. Trees, such as elms, are used for the outside, and smaller trees, such as maples for inside planting.

Civic Center.—Although the size of the present town precludes the necessity of a formal civic center at present, future needs are here anticipated and only such public and semi-pub- lic buildings are sugges Public Works and Engineering Factories.—The factories are to be located on the south and east of the town, but are easily reached from all parts of the town. Parks and Playgrounds.— Ample space has been provided even the location of the schools in the park space, as can be easily moved when needed. for the immediate and future needs of parks and playgrounds. Playgrounds have been pro- vided in convenient places away from the dangers of traffic.

If the employer has a reputation for furnishing his workmen with attractive and sanitary dwellings he will never lack for steady and efficient labor. The Aladdin Company has had fifteen years of experience in furnishing houses for all kinds of labor. The houses in this book by the process of elimination for over fifteen years, show only the designs that most nearly meet with the needs of the average American workman. One of the large coal corporations in Pennsylvania recently ordered a large number of our Erie bungalows illustrated above. They found this house particularly suited for the housing of their employees, and a few weeks later ordered another quantity. Three to four of these houses could be loaded complete in one car and shipped direct to you within a few days after the re- ceipt of your order. A crew of twenty men in one week should com- plete twenty or more of these houses. The Selwyn The Selwyn is similar to the Erie with exception of change in floor plan.

Results of investigation of eight different coal com- panies in Pennsylvania show a gross return of 11% on their total investment. This goes to prove that the housing of one’s employees is not a losing venture as many believe. Another result of housing employees which cannot very well be figured in dollars and cents is in the reduction of labor turn-over and greater loyalty from employees. The Crescent home was purchased and erected by the Vermillion Farms Co. to house their employees. The use of Aladdin houses means better houses for less money and therefore a larger percentage of profit on the investment.

It should be an inexpensive solution of your housing problem. It is especially fitted for housing low priced labor. It is of permanent construction and the materials used are of much higher grade than usually found in houses of this type. The four large rooms are well lighted and ventilated, and each room has plenty of wall space. The Hecla is an ideal house for its purpose and its low cost offers remark- able value. An order for ten up to two hundred of these houses could be delivered and the erection completed in a surprisingly short time. A number of Hecla Homes were sold to the Apex Coal Co., Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co., Clarksville Gas Coal Co., Diamond Coal & Coke Co., Mather Collieries Co., Twin City Coal Co., Warner, Youghiogheny Coal Co., West Virginia Pittsburg Coal Co., and many others. Reduced labor turn-over can be obtained by the erection of permanent individual houses for the married workmen of any industry.

Investigation of companies that housed their employees in 1916, shows that the largest percentage of houses built are of the five room type, narrow in width, and similar in floor plan to the Tremont. A house of this model comes well within the means of the common laborer. Employers are coming to realize that industrial expansion and increased production require plenty of efficient labor. In order to secure this labor the housing of employees has been found the greatest factor in procuring the desired results. Our facilities for furnishing you with quantities of houses within a few days after receiving the order, and our experience in supplying hundreds of industrial corporations with houses should merit careful inves- tigation in the many saving advantages of our Alad- din system.

The most important requisite in planning a workman’s home is com- pactness, light and _ ventilation. These features are found in our Welton plan.

Floor Plan—The Welton ‘The Gretna HE results of many investiga- tions into the employment situation have shown that one of the prime causes for the large turn-over of industrial labor is the inadequate accommodations for the worker. The employer should house his workmen in modern, sanitary and attractive houses, thus as- suring a steady and efficient force of men. Good housing is one of the first means of cementing the relations between employer and employees. In designing the Gretna, the cost has been held down, but at the same time the exterior although plain is neat and attractive. This house requires plenty of ground, as it has a thirty foot frontage with a roomy porch across its entire front. Where the employer has plenty of ground available, we would recom- mend the selection of our Gretna. See prices on inside of front cover. The Pennsylvania Wire Glass Co. erected a number of Gretna homes for their workmen.

It has been sold in quantity lots, ranging from ten to sixty, to over seventy-five of the biggest mining corporations of this country to whom it Is giving great satisfaction. It embodies all the economical features desired in a house of low cost, and yet it does not lack the necessary comforts, which are at present demanded by the workingmen’s families. Economy in construction can only be had through standard- ization. This standardization of plan can be given variety by interesting grouping. By the grouping of a number of these houses and the use of different color schemes, this necessary variation can be had. We have found that this is very important as it makes the identical house look quite different and individually pleasing. Good proportions and good color schemes never need cost more than poor ones. The Jackson Mills and the Mather Collieries Co. are among the large Corporations having erected Collier homes for work- men. 41 SPECIFICATIONS | THB ICOEREIER Sill, 4x6; Joists, 2x6’s; Outside wall studding, 2x4—16’ centers; Partition studding, 2x4—16" centers; Ceiling joists, 2x4—16" centers; Wall sheathing, 1° lumber; Floors, single matched flooring, clear and knotless; Clear Red Cedar bevel siding or shingles for outside walls; Height of ceilings, 8’0"; Rafters, 2x4’s on 2’0” centers; Roof, 144 pitch; Exposed eaves, 1/0" projection; Roof sheathing, 1” lumber, overlaid with best prepared roofing or Extra Star-A-Star Cedar shingles; Windows, check-rail sliding sash, size 26x24, sash glazed; Front door, 2’8’x6’8", mortised for lockset; Inside doors and back door, 2’8’x6’8", mortised for inside lockset; Baseboard, casings and all interior finish, clear and knotless Oregon Fir or Yellow Pine; All hardware, glass, locks, hinges, galvanized ridge roll, building paper, etc.; Stain and varnish for interior finish; Two coats of paint for exterior, any color desired; Lath and plaster for lining walls, ceilings and partitions.

This 1s only pos- sible because of the Aladdin Readi-Cut System by which all of the material is manufactured in the Aladdin mills ready to be nailed in place when it reaches the job. Two of these houses can be loaded to a single car and the car contains everything for the completion of the job, except foundation and chimney. The Tucson has five rooms which will accommodate the average family. The finish material throughout is of splendid clear Yellow Pine or Fir. The quality tends to give tenants more respect for the upkeep of the house and premises. Results as reported to us are invariably better in this respect than when cheap materials are used. The house will stand up better under the varied uses of different families of as they come and go.

Many of our customers have used the Edison to dress up a row of the simpler types and with excellent results. The Hamilton Carhartt Cotton Mills and The Pomona Mills are among the many satisfied purchasers of this home. This design meets the needs of the average family. It has a thirty foot porch, living room, dining room, two bed rooms, closets, bath and kitchen. Bath can be eliminated, giving this extra space to living room, where conditions allow of elimi- nation of this feature. The Edison has been a constant favor- ite with individual purchasers, as we have carried it in our regular home builders catalog for about ten years. Two of these houses can be loaded in a single car, and a crew of twenty men should erect three of these houses per week.

Give your workman a home that he can some time call his own, let his surroundings be comfortable and attractive, and there will be no more floaters. It has been proven that the proper housing of employees will result in their working more efficiently and intelligently. Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co. and Lincoln Gas Coal Co. are two of the many users of this home. The exterior and floor plan of the ‘‘Dresden”’ speak for themselves.

Investigation by dif- ferent committees on industrial housing agree that a house with simple, straight lines is the best. For the interior it has been found that a large living room, dining room and kitchen with three bedrooms and bath on the second floor are the most desirable for a work- man’s home. Air, ventilation and light are also very neces- sary and all these features are very well taken care of in the designing of this house. The proper housing of employees is a big factor in reducing labor turn-over. It brings profit to the Company and affords better control of the labor situation.

Yet, it is interestingly em- bellished to meet the more exacting tastes of higher class workmen, superintendents and office men. True structural economy demands the square type, for more floor space can be obtained for a given investment than where the house is cut up, wings added or other money-consuming features in- corporated. The house is suitable for larger fam- ilies, it having three bedrooms, with bath on second floor, while the arrange- ment on the first floor gives an unusually large living room. It is furnished with siding on the walls of the first story and shingles above. Casement windows add much to its appearance, while the unusual type of porch invariably catches the eye and pleases the observer. Grade cellar en- trance avoids the necessity of outside or built-on entrance to basement. The Georgia has been erected in large numbers by several New Jersey cor- porations and seems to be especially well adapted to the ideas of easterners. See prices accompanying this book.

The several sys- | tems are identical. Only the materials differ. To cut the material for the Boulevard in the Aladdin mills is extremely simple. Rapid, fast-feed machines, many of them automatic, have been designed especially for this work. There are over two thousand individual pieces of timber, lumber, finish, etc., in the Boulevard, all of which are fashioned by power machines instead of the usual hand labor of carpenters. The Fulton Bag & Cotton Co. and a host of other large corporations have purchased this design for their workmen. This house will accommodate a good sized family, there being three bedrooms. The floor plan arrange- ment is ideal for this type of house, bath being next to kitchen, thus saving in plumbing costs. The exterior is sided up to top of walls and shingled in the gables.

First Floor Plan The Herford Second Floor Plan The Herford ee ‘The Suburban HE Suburban is simple in its exterior lines, but modern and attractive in appearance. No floor space has been wasted, and each room has plenty of light and wall space. In buying a workman’s home, the square lines will always be found more economical as better utilization of space is the result. The Suburban with three large rooms on the first floor and four bedrooms and bath on the second floor can easily accommodate a family of from six to eight people. The higher paid, better class of workmen want good homes with conveniences and comforts. Employers helping their em- ployees toward this end are protecting themselves on a constant supply of skilled labor. The list of satisfied users of the Suburban for housing of their employees includes the Oliver Chilled Plow Works and other large concerns. The industry that houses its employees will soon become so well advertised that it will never lack for efficient workmen.

The best proof of this statement is found in the fact that the Pomona is built in large numbers in practically every state in the Union. The type is that of the ever popular California bungalow. Shingled walls, heavy timber work and distinctive window groups give distinction to the exterior. Two plans are shown for the interior, the one, all rooms on one floor and having but three bedrooms, while the other plan has two bedrooms on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. The exteriors in both cases are identical. This house will compare favorably with much more ex- pensive and more elaborate homes, and is suitable for any locality. It has been purchased by many corporations for use of superintendents and factory ex- ecutives. It is, of course, com- pletely manufactured Readi- Cut, and its cost of erection is extremely low as a result. One of these designs will fill the ordinary car.

Sometimes ground costs make the use of double houses necessary, however. The Detroit requires a minimum of ground space and frontage for its accommodations. This design is one of our very biggest sellers to in- dividual purchasers, as well as to industrial customers, which is demonstrative of its popu- larity with tenants. Half siding and _ half shingles are used for exterior walls. Three bed- rooms make house suitable for large families. Senha tae t Owing to absence of embellishment, the labor ~- — cost of erection is low. A utilization of our court plans in grouping your workmen’s community will add greatly to the value and success of the project. These court plans are designed by experienced land- scape architects and city planners, services which would ordinarily cost from $500 to $1,000. To Aladdin customers this service adds nothing to your costs. See price of Detroit on inside front cover.

A constantly increasing number of large corporations are finding complete satisfaction in the use of the Devon for the housing of their workmen. The exterior of the Devon is unusually attractive for the duplex type. The walls are half shingled, dormer is in front of the hip roof and the windows are well spaced. The interior contains six rooms with bath and pantry for each apart- ment. These rooms are of the average size and well arranged for the comfort and convenience of the occupants. A great many of this type of two-apartment house have been sold in New England and have never failed to give excellent satisfaction. The construction is sound thruout, double walls and floors, interlined with building paper, making the house very easy to heat in extremely cold weather.

Co. and the Patterson Mills Co. are among the many corporations who have aided their housing problem to their complete satisfaction by the use of the Langford. i In statistics kept by one large industry, employing many thou- sands of men, it was found that they hada labor turn-over of over 180%. Of that 180% turn-over the greatest majority were single men. This goes to show that the main group of men who are con- tinually changing their jobs are the unmarried men. These men usually have no place to live in,—no decent place to stay. One of the basic reasons of labor turn-over is the inability of labor to find comfortable living quarters. Our Langford has eight bed rooms on the second floor and two on the first. The first floor plan in addition to the bed rooms has a large dining room, kitchen, pantry, washroom and living room, which is often used as a reading or lounging room.

Floor Plan—The Washington Aladein Pipdless ltrs Aladdin Pipeless Warm-Air Furnace MOST practical and efficient warm-air heating plant for the average home that costs less than a base burner. The principle 1s positive. Cold air is taken through three 8xro-inch registers, placed in the base of the jacket which goes around the furnace proper. The heat is forced upward through a large 14x20-inch register placed directly over the furnace. Through this regis- ter, the hot air passes with great force to the ceiling, and circulates from there to all rooms of which doors have been left open to be heated. The warm air will be so evenly dis- tributed that you will find a variation of less than three degrees between the room where the register is placed and the room farthest away from same, providing, of course, that doors connecting these rooms are left open to give a free circulation.’ No large warm-air pipes to de- stroy the usefulness of the base- Cubano EpIpesmOrenttinegs to. be installed’ Vhe register must be placed directly over the furnace, and the furnace should be placed as nearly as possible in the center of the basement.

Sill: =ilil Canacnent Facts on the Twelve Manin NGO Wide Investigation on Existing Industrial Communities. “A Housed Labor Supply is a Controlled Labor Supply.” turers giving chief benefits of proper housing facilities are in order of their frequency (1) secures a better class of workmen; (2) greater stability in the labor supply; (3) reduction in the number of floaters; (4) better living conditions; (5) greater loyalty from employees; (6) more contented and (7) more efficient workmen; (8) better control of the labor situation (that is, hire and discharge with greater freedom); (9) attracts married men; | (10) greater regularity of employment; (11) better houses for less money for the workmen; (12) E brings profit to the company. Replies from three hundred and fifty manufac- The majority of employers exercise the chief governmental functions and provide public util- | ities where the community is not a part of an | existing municipality. | | In over half of the present industrial commu- nities, the company town suffers from the wrong kind of deliberate planning, largely because the housing work is incidental to the principal business of the employer, and does not receive consideration in proportion to that given the purely business part of the employer’s enterprise. A properly planned town costs but a fraction more than the other kind. Lack of attention to the advantages of vegeta- tion, planting of trees, grass and shrubbery has been characteristic of most of the existing indus- trial towns. Of the 53,000 individual dwellings coming under this investigation, 25,000, or 48%, are single dwellings, 18,000, or 35%, double dwellings, and the balance made up of other types of group buildings. The frame structure is the most prevalent style of company house, approximating 90% of all workmen’s houses erected. Thirty per cent of the 53,000 houses were of the four-room type, 18% of the five-room type and an equal proportion of the six-room. | Of the 53,000 houses investigated, 15% were | equipped with bathroom, sewer or cesspool water | system, and gas or electric light. This feature of | modern convenience is increasing constantly so | that of the houses erected within the past twenty- four months, some 34% were equipped with so- | called “modern conveniences.” _ It is the policy of some 30% of the companies investigated to encourage gardening by their ten- ants. This is done by a system of prizes, or the distribution of hand books and the furnishing of seeds and shrubs by the employers. The largest proportion of company housing is done directly by the employer as a general part of his business. If an employer proposes to house one-half of his employees, he may expect to invest approxi- mately one-third of his annual payroll. If he proposes to house all of his employees, he will need to invest approximately two-thirds of his annual payroll. These figures are subject to variation for different parts of the country, but represent a general average. An average of sixty different companies replying to the question of gross return on housing invest- ments, showed a figure of better than 8%. Eight different coal companies report a gross of 11%. Seventy-one per cent of the employees of the cotton mills of the South are housed in company owned dwellings. Soft coal mine operators are second with 62%. The Monthly Review of the United States Bu- reau of Labor Statistics mentions among other things the advantages to the employer who houses his own employees as follows: ‘Whether in the isolated mining community or the populous city center, the employer is placed in an advantageous position in relation to the housing problem. He knows the purpose which he wants his community to serve, and can, there- fore, lay it out with forethought, take advantage of the advice of experts, consulting town planners, architects and large-scale builders. He can build on a large scale so as to cut down costs. He _ knows the type of labor he will want to house, and can erect his house to supply the needs of that particular class of employees. “Too little attention has been given in the past to the layout and arrangement of the company town. There has been too much tendency toward uniformity in the type of houses and its arrange- ment on rectangular streets. “Tt is possible to standardize the entire plans of houses of different sizes which appear to have established themselves as most acceptable, thereby reducing costs and securing rapid construction. “Tt 1s possible to avoid uniformity in several ways, among which may be suggested careful town planning, judicious use of a few curving streets which tend to minimize the monotony of similar houses, and introduce variations in the exterior of the houses.”’ ES SSS —E__En = — | ee _ Ct ee rte FE HH! | I bo ce a An ideal Industrial Community.
