All the designs contain the latest and newest built-in features, such as fireplaces, book cases, writing desks, seats, dressers, coolers, cupboards, linen closets, etc., etc. These houses, while especially designed for the requirements of the East, are equally as well adapted for Western construction.

Our Department of Building Construction It stands to reason that after having studied and worked out a set of plans for a client, we are more familiar with his ideas than a firm who never saw the plans before. It is also evident we can carry out those ideals more readily and with less expense and annoyance to the Owner than those not so familiar with his wishes. Confinement to Design only causes one to become narrow and impractical in the line of construction itself. Those who confine their efforts to building are liable to neglect their artistic instincts. We have put forth every effort to avoid either of these conditions and have worked with an end in view to combine the greatest possible art and design consistent with true economy and good construction. Our designer and draughtsmen and our foremen on the jobs co-operate, thus producing an interest in the work that would otherwise be impossible. No matter how small your building is it will receive the greatest of interest and attention from the foreman as well as the superin¬ tendents sent from the office. “All our clients are our friends—we solicit investigation.” Yours for a better home, DE LUXE BUILDING CO. lllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIillllllllllllllllllll PAGE SIXTY-THREE AVERY LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVER Tl II1111111111111111111111111II11111111111111111111! 11111111111111111111 III I III 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 -1II 11 111111111111111111111111111111111! 1111! 1111! i 1111111111111111111 m 11111111111 g E i m 1111111111,1111,11 i 111 ,| 11111 i! i ii 1 1 11 a 11111111111111 e 1111 1 1 e 1 1 11 ii 11 1 : i s i s i a 1111 1 u 1111 ii 11 i 11111111 ii 11 ii ii i ii i ii 1111111111111111111111! 1111111111 s 1 1111111111111 m 111111 1 1111111111 m 111 1 1 1 111 me i m m 11 i 111 1 11111111111111 * ^ Special Plan Department E are equipped to furnish you special plans for any building.
