Your Choice of Over One Hundred Modern Homes Plans Drawn by Licensed Architects of Wide Experience, Embodying All the Very Newest Ideas in Convenient and Artistic Arrangement H undreds of our customers during the past year selected homes from former editions of this book, built them or had them built by contract according to our plans and with our materials, and they saved from $500.00 to $1,000.00 each. These big savings have made them our best adver¬ tisers. Read the letters from customers on page 114 and see the pictures of their homes on page 115. We satisfy our customers by furnishing the highest grades of material at lower prices than are asked anywhere else. They all endorse our methods and recommend them to others. While our estimates, including labor, on the houses in this book are considered very low, many of our customers have built according to our plans for even less than our figure. Furthermore, our proposition is different from any other, because we guar¬ antee every dollar’s worth of building material we sell. Should we fail to please you, you take no risk; you are at liberty to return all or any part of the material purchased from us which proves unsatisfactory and we will cheerfully return your money and any freight charges you have paid. Consider carefully the houses shown in this book, study the floor plans of each, and when you find a house that appeals to you write for the plans, specifications and itemized bill of materials in accordance with our offers on page 3. Our plans or blue prints are much more carefully drawn than the plans provided by the average architect who charges from $100.00 to $200.00 for his services, ours being accurate and correct in detail. They are the work of architects of wide experience; the typewritten specifications thoroughly cover the method of constructing the house, insuring a first class job. The bill of materials, which is a part of our plans, but which is never supplied by the average architect, carefully itemizes every foot of lumber, every item of building material of every description; in fact, this bill of materials is our bid. We will agree to furnish all materials for the amount specified in our bill of materials, which amount to the same as the amount specified in the pages of this book for each house. The cost of the original tracings, the writing ot the original specifica¬ tions and bill of materials for each of the houses in this book is from $100.00 to $200.00, varying according to size and style of the house. From the original tracing sheets we have reproduced a large number of plans and have printed a supply of bills of materials. We are offering them to our customers on a very liberal plan, enabling you to get plans of the very highest class, with specifications and bills of materials which originally cost $100.00 to $200.00, for $1.00 in cash or free of charge, as per our offers on page 3. Our object in making such a liberal offer to the public is to quickly con¬ vince prospective builders that we can make them big savings in building material. While one might possibly overlook the fact that we can make him a saving of a few dollars on any one item, he cannot overlook the fact that we can save him $150.00 to $1,500.00 or more on a building. This Book of Modern Homes puts the matter of our money saving prices so forcibly before the prospective builder that he cannot overlook the great advantages in buying mill work and all building materials from us. Our bill of materials forms a basis for comparison; in fact, it is our bid. You can tell at once just what any part of the building material will cost you, or the whole lot, as you please. It furnishes convincing proof that we can make you a very large saving. There is no mystery in our prices; they are simply the natural result of our well known policy of merchandising, selling goods at prices based on the actual cost to produce with but one profit added. Tbe application of this principle to mill work, lumber, lath, shingles and other building material—a line on which everybody has been obliged to pay big prices heretofore because of market conditions, monopolies, manufacturers’ agree¬ ments or local associations made for the purpose of keeping up prices— enables us to make you a large saving, while at the same time we are able to give you absolutely the finest quality throughout. Every item of building material we handle is backed by our unlimited guarantee of satisfaction or money returned. On pages near the back of this book we show designs for barn plans. SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. —2- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS OFFER No. 1 Complete Set of Plans, Specifications and Bill of Materials for $1.00 As explained on opposite page, the plans, specifications and bill of materials for each of the modern homes in this book were prepared by licensed architects of wide experience at a cost to us of from $100.00 to $200.00 per set. We have gone to considerable expense to reproduce these blue prints from the original tracing sheets by printing and preparing many sets of specifications and bills of materials for our customers, but for the purpose of getting the public acquainted with our wonderful building proposition we are willing to sell outright these complete sets of blue prints, specifications and bills of materials at the small sum of $1.00 a set. This amount must be included with your order.

We will accept this certificate as $1.00 in cash if accompanied by an order for mill work, such as doors, windows, molding, etc., whether the order is small or large.

The plans of this high char¬ acter, showing all the details, covering every part of the building operation, the typewritten specifications covering from three to five pages of closely written matter, and the bill of materials which plainly itemizes every kind of material required in the building of any one of these houses and which serves as our bid for the entire building, even though they were duplicated in vast quantities, could not be disposed of profitably according to our offers. Our only object is to convince you that we can save you from $150.00 on a house usually costing $600.00 to build to $1,500.00 on a house usually costing $6,000.00 to build.

Sears. Roebuck and Co., Chicago, Ill. Wade. Penn. Dear Sirs:—The house which I have built according to plans of house No. 24 is about completed and it is the admiration of most of the people around here. I built the first story brick and the upper part pebble dash and it is considered a beautiful home. I followed the plans to the letter, except all the bedrooms are square and I had three windows put in the attic and a stairway up to it instead of the linen closet. I now have an attic over the entire house and can use it for storage or to put several beds in if I so desire. I have a complete bathroom and I consider that I have the best house that has been built around here for some time, for the price. The mill work which I bought from you exceeded my expectations and is satisfactory in every way and it was bought very much cheaper than I could have bought it around here. The con¬ tractor praised it highly and talks of ordering more of the same kind from you. The saving in price of mill work is considerable. I am pleased with everything that I received from you connected with the building and it will no doubt be the means of more houses going up in this locality just like it. I have loaned my Book of Modern Homes to a friend who says he is going to build in the near future. If I build again I will send to you for all the lumber which it would require to build the house, as I can now see how much better and cheaper it would be for me to buy it from you. If I knew how to praise your mill work and plans more highly I would do so. Every piece of mill work was more than sufficient to do the work intended for it. Very respectfully yours, W. G. GITTINS’.

DO DIKE THE LARGEST READ ESTATE OPERATORS ARE NOW DOING. Improve your properly by building; on a liflle larger scale and reap the big benefits either In tlie way of inereasing your profits or doulding ]iereentage of earnings on your investment. Houses l)uilt one at a time under ordinary conditions wlihdi would earn you 10 i)er cent would easily earn you l.o or 50 per cent more profit if the same (luality of house was built six at one time. THERE .ARE M.ANA’ REASONS AVHY A'OII CAN EOAVER YOUR BUILDING COSTS b.v Ibis jiroeedure. Here are just a few illustrations. For instance, excavat¬ ing. While laliorers, horses, scoops and other utensils are on the ground, six base¬ ments can be excavated at a slight advance over a lesser number. As much as 25 jier cent can be saved on this procedure aloiu'. The cost of foundation walls, especially when made of concrete, can be considerably reduced in price when the forms for concrete work can be used for a numlier of houses, as the cost of lumlier for making the forms, and the labor, can be entirely saved for all additional houses, and by placing a larger order for concrete or masonry work, any up to date contractor is willing to make big concessions in price. BUILDING ON .A L.ARGER .SC.ALE enables the various contractors and sub¬ contractors to proceed from one building to the next without loss or delay. Carpenters can lay out their framing work for six liouses at one time. While one house is in the course of framing, anotlier house will l)e under its roof, and carpenters during inclement weatlnu- can always be worked to the very best possible advantage, which means low building cost for c-arpenter Ittlior. Plasterers and iiaiuters jiroceed in a like manner, all of them doing tin' work to the very best advantage and at the very lowest cost. Furtliermore, mucli closer suiiervision can be had when a number of houses are built close together at one time, as the contractor or foiamian can carefully watch the work as it progresses, making every penny paid for labor count to the very best advantage.

Sears, Eoebuck and Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The car of lumber which I ordered from you arrived all O. K. and would say that the grade of the lumber was better than I expected. The grade which I bought for sheathing was as good as I can buy here for the best grade of yellow pine: in fact was good enough to make pulley stiles and door iambs of. The finishing lumber was the best grade of yellow pine that I have seen for a long time, and the joist and studding were better than I expected. I would cheerfully recommend anyone wanting lumber of a good grade to have no fear of ordering lumber from you. I consider that I saved $6.00 to $8.00 on a thousand feet and received a far better grade than tlie dealers here handle. Will place my mill work order with you in a few days.

PURE WHITE TILE FOR THE BATHROOM FLOOR AND WALLS This tile is made of clay and burned in a kiln at an intense heat until it is vitreous. The most sanitary, durable and beautiful treatment for bathrooms. A tile floor lasts forever. It is non-absorbent and as hard as glass. Moisture and dirt are easily wiped off the surface with a cloth and no scrubbing is necessary. We are the originators of selling this material direct to the user. We offer you your first opportunity to secure floor tile and wall tile at any price. The associations of tile manufacturers and tile layers have hereto¬ fore controlled both the production and the distribution of tiles and have made it impossible for a home owner or a contractor to buy tile. Tliey have forced all tile users to contract with them for the work complete and have made large profits on both the tile and on the work of laying it. Now that we have placed this material on the open market there is no longer any reason why every modern home should not have a fully tiled bath¬ room, kitchen, vestibule and porch floor. There is noth¬ ing better for the bathroom than a pure white floor of hexagonal tiles and for the walls, white glazed tile with sanitary cove base and neat cap. If colors are wanted they can be had to suit almost any taste or color scheme. White wall tile is made usually in (jx2-inch and 6x3-inch sizes, but we can furnish all other standard sizes if wanted.

HERCULES BOILERS, $29.60 Our Hercules Boilers Are Superior to Any Other Line of Heaters, Either Round or Sectional, That Are on the Market Today The Hercules Steam and Hot Water Boilers quoted on this page arc of the vertical sec¬ tional type and have all the advantages of the round boiler, such as compact fire pot and simplicity of construction, wliile they also have the supeih r advantages of the sectional ])Oilei'S. such as long fire travel, increased heating surface and the correct proportions between the gra4e and the heating surface. The fire pot is deep and the return flues ample, so it will do its work economically and with the least attention. It will carry coal enough to mainlain perfect combustion for twelve Iiours with ordinary care and attention. For hot water heating this heater is superior to any small heater on the market, as it has a perfect interior circulation, and this is also especially advantageous for steam, as the steam is more easily generated and is quickly separated from the water, so that the water is not carried up into the pipes with the steam. The heater is thoroughly tested before leaving the works and is made up and shipped in two parts; base and grates in one and the sections in tlie other, which makes it easy to erect. Its compact form enables it to be carried into a building as easily as a radiator. The steam boiler is furnished complete with all steam trimmings, such as steam gauge, water gauge, and damper regulator and safety valve. Tliese are not necessary with a hot water boiler. All boilers are furni.shed com¬ plete with firing tools, such as poker, hoe and flue brush. Hercules Steam and Hot Water Boilers are shipped from factory in Western Pennsylvania.
