 The Care We Take 
 
 In protecting the lumber that goes into our mill 
 work products enables us to guarantee the Cjuality 
 and insures complete satisfaction to the customer. 
 
 hrom the time the lumber leaves the sawmill until 
 it is required in our mill work factory it is thor¬ 
 oughly jmotected from the weather. Notice the 800 - 
 foot loading platform—one of ten—in the small pic¬ 
 ture ami the large, well built rainproof warehouses 
 l>elow. Is it not reasonable that the doors, windows, 
 frames, moldings, etc., manufactured from high 
 grade lumber so protected should be more satisfac¬ 
 tory in every way than the same articles made from 
 lumber e.xposed to rain, snow, hail, soot and dust, 
 as is usually the case in the average mill’s yard?

 Methods That Make Better 
 Material 
 
 If we could show you throirith our new mill work factory 
 and let you see for yourself the many money s-iviipL' 
 devices we have installed, you would umlerstand why we 
 can underbid all competitors, if quality is considered. 
 
 The high grade lumber which you .see piled in the big ware¬ 
 houses below will not be tou(died by human hands until it 
 is reciiiired at the big battery of niachines in our factory. 
 Each pile of lumber, containiug nearly a carload, rest.s 
 upon a movable tru<d< which, when the lumber is needed, 
 can be quickly transferred to the tra(dcs in the foreground 
 and iiu.shed either into the dry kilns or wherever reiiuired. 
 All lumber handled at our factory is unloaded from the 
 cars on to tliese trucks and kept ready for use at a 
 moment’s notice. 
 
 Y'ou can see how different this process is from the usual 
 custom in the average mill's yard, where selections are 
 made from one pile and another and carried by wagon in 
 small quantities (reiiuiring much time and labor) to the 
 different places around the factory where the workmen are 
 waitiirg for it. All the money saved by our (luiek, modern 
 system of handling lumber GOES DIRECT TO YOU in the 
 way of better mill work for YOUR MODERN HOME.

 Our Building Plans Save You Money 
 
 Successfully Used by 16,000 Builders 
 
 Read Every Word of This, Start Right and 
 Avoid Mistakes, Delays and Big Expense. 
 Valuable Advice on This Page When You Build 
 
 
 ACCORDING TO OUR PROVEN PLANS 
 
 There are several advantages to be gained by building according to plans that 
 have PROVEN TO BE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. It is quite likely any selec¬ 
 tion you make from this book -will be a house that has been built according to 
 our plans time and time again. Every architectural error or discrepancy has been 
 overcome, therefore our plans are GUARANTEED FOOLPROOF. 
 
 1. You know exactly what the material will cost. This means that you will 
 not be compelled to spend more money than you had originally figured on. 
 THERE WILL BE NO EXTRAS. 
 
 2. The building can be put up in LESS TIME than it takes with “Made to 
 Order Plans,” and you thereby SAVE MONEY IN LABOR. 
 
 3. Any ordinary carpenter or builder can put up your house without requiring 
 the assistance of an architect or an architect’s representative. This also saves 
 you money. 
 
 4. You have our GUARANTEE TO FURNISH ENOUGH MATERIAL at 
 the price named to put up the building complete. No extras are possible and 
 the first cost is the only cost. 
 
 5. You have our guarantee that THE MATERIAL WILL BE SATIS¬ 
 FACTORY in every way and of a much better grade than you could secure for the 
 same money by purchasing from a retail dealer. We aim to give you a grade of 
 material that will insure you a permanent building. 
 
 6. You have the satisfaction of knowing that you are not facing an experiment 
 because OVER 16,000 PERSONS have built houses according to our plans and with 
 our materials. We can refer you to satisfied customers in every state in the Union. 
 
 7. You know that when you deal with us in selecting plans and purchasing 
 material, you are dealing with the originators of the MAIL ORDER SYSTEM of 
 selling complete houses. We were the first in the field in this line and having had 
 so many years of experience it certainly follows that our plans should be absolutely 
 accurate, since nearly every one of them has been used several times and all 
 original errors eliminated. Bearing these facts in mind, please consider the 
 impartial statement shown opposite in which we set forth the experiences 
 of people who build according to plans “made to order.” 
 
 See Page 6 for 
 
 ACCORDING TO MADE TO ORDER PLANS 
 
 Here is what you have to face when you decide to build a house according to 
 plans “made to order.” 
 
 1. The cost of the original plans, blue prints and bills of material will run 
 from $100.00 to $200.00. Our PROVEN PLANS cost you only $1.00 and this dol¬ 
 lar we allow on your first order for material. 
 
 2. You may want to have the original plans corrected and several changes 
 made which MAY NEARLY DOUBLE THE FIRST ESTIMATED COST of 
 the house. 
 
 3. You have no assurance or guarantee that the amount of money supposed 
 to cover the cost of the material will actually secure enough of everything to put 
 up the building. On the contrary, it has been the experience of all builders using 
 private or special plans that the final cost runs from 25 to 35 per cent over the 
 amount originally figured upon. This is impossible when building from our plans 
 and with our materials. 
 
 4. Unless you are careful to specify stock sizes in such items as doors, win¬ 
 dows, frames, mantels, china closets, etc., you will run the risk of having to pay 
 SPECIAL MADE TO ORDER PRICES. This means not only additional cost 
 but embarrassing and expensive delays, whereas if you build according to our 
 plans you know that our lumber yards and factories are stocked to their fullest 
 capacity with the materials specified in the construction of our Modern Homes. 
 
 5. You have no one’s past experience to guide you, no one to whom you can 
 refer for advice or for any statement regarding the plans of the house itself or 
 the materials specified, whereas when you deal with us you can refer to people in 
 every state in the Union, any one of whom will be glad to tell you of his experi¬ 
 ence with our house, and perhaps show your own choice already completed. 
 
 6. Unless the party who furnishes you building material is prepared to give you A 
 BINDING GUARANTEE and has the resources to back it properly, or unless you are 
 qualified to judge between good and inferior material, you may have to pay for yearly 
 repair bills enough money to buy yourself an automobile or pay for a trip to Europe. 
 
 If you Insist on having special plans, although we don’t recommend this method, LET US 
 MAKE THEM FOR YOU. We will charge you only the actual cost of the labor and 
 we will protect you with the same guarantee as to the quality and quantity of material 
 furnished as we do on every house illustrated and described in this Book of Modern Homes. 
 We can save you money on plans as well as on material. You owe it to yourself 
 at least to find out what we can do for you before you spend any money on building 
 books or building plans that have no actual experience or responsible guarantee 
 behind them.

 HOW TO GET BUILDING PLANS 
 
 The Plans, Specifications and Bill of Aiaterials for each one of the Modern 
 Homes in this book which we offer you for only $1.00 per set, or free if you 
 order material, were prepared for us by architects of wide experience at a 
 cost to us of from $100.00 to $200.00 per original set. Nearly all of these 
 plans have been PROVEN TO BE CORRECT BY ACTUAL EXPERI¬ 
 ENCE. In some instances fully one hundred customers have built the same 
 design house selected from our Book of Modern Homes. It is only natural, 
 therefore, that they should be free from errors and defects which in plans 
 
 made to order nearly always result in extra money for extra material. The 
 specifications insure correct construction and safeguard the builder against 
 poor workmanship. The BHI of Materials quotes PRICES ON LUMBER, 
 MILL WORK, BUILDING PAPER, HARDWARE AND PAINTING 
 MATERIAL. We guarantee plenty of every single item specified on our 
 bills to build a house according to our plans. No need to question whether you 
 will have enough of such items as moldings, ceiling, siding, etc. OUR GUAR¬ 
 ANTEE APPLIES TO THE QUANTITY AS WELL AS TO THE 
 QUALITY.

 sufficient time for these items to reach you so that you can get the building enclosed and 
 the roof on, thus enabling you to provide a dry place for the inside finish, doors, etc., when 
 they reach you.

 ADVANTAGES: 
 
 It enables you to do a better 
 job for less money and can 
 be applied by yourself. 
 
 It is equal in service and 
 strength to a lath and 
 plaster wall. 
 
 It does away with lath stains 
 and hair cracks. 
 
 It deadens sound as effect¬ 
 ively as lath and plaster. 
 
 It is vermin proof and can 
 be painted, papered or 
 kalsomined. 
 
 It can be covered with a 
 plaster coat of any thick¬ 
 ness, but V4 of an inch will 
 be sufficient to make a 
 smooth and seamless wall. 
 
 It can be removed and re¬ 
 placed, in sections, for 
 plumbing repairs. 
 
 It is clean. You will have 
 no muss and dirt when you 
 apply it. 
 
 WHAT IT IS: Goodwall Sheet Plaster is a fire resisting hard patent plaster of even thickness between two 
 sheets of heavy cardboard which are thoroughly saturated with the fire resisting composition. The Plaster Finish 
 adheres firmly to the surface. Goodwall Sheet Plaster comes in sheets 32x36 inches and takes the place of regular 
 lath and plaster at less cost and with less labor. Sheets contain 8 square feet. Shipping weight, 1-1 pounds.

 HARD PLASTER 
 FINISH APPLIED 
 OVER PLASTER SHEETS 
 
 We will be glad to quote you a price on enough Goodwall Sheet Plaster for any Modern Home in this book. It will save you money and give 
 better satisfaction. You will need no wood lath; you will have no big plastering bill to pay. You or any handy man can apply the Goodwall 
 sheets, simply nail them to the studding. (See illustration below.) Tlien, for the finished coat you can use a quarter of an inch coating of our 
 Specially Prepared Hard Plaster Finish. Any ordinary plasterer can do this work in a short time and your building will be ready for occupancy 
 within a few hours after the finish coat has been applied. It dries as quickly as it can be put on. Do not overlook this proposition if you want 
 to have straight, dry, fire resisting walls in your new Modem Home. 
 
 The illustration above shows Goodwall Sheet Plaster being applied to the studding. When this is done, it is given a coat of Specially Prepared 
 Hard Plaster Finish, of an inch thick. In the right hand corner we show Joint Tape placed over the joints, after which the entire surface Is 
 given a coat of paint or kalsomine. It can be wall papered without the use of sizing. For the best results, however, we recommend a ^/4-inch coat 
 of Hard Plaster Finish. You will then have fire resisting walls, with a perfectly smooth surface, which can be tinted any desired color or decorated 
 like any other wall. You will find the prices and description of Joint Tape on page 107 of our Mill Work Catalog.

 nail the pieces in place, following the instructions and plans 
 furnished free with the material. Each piece is plainly marked 
 to show just where it goes in the house. You can easily see 
 that when all this work is done at our factory, building a house 
 is a small job. The siding is all cut 1 inch longer than the 
 actual required size, to insure close joints against casings and 
 corners. Picture molding, base and base molding furnished 
 in random lengths, to be fitted on the job. In addition.

 yourself. When you purchase from us you know exactly what 
 you get and how we cut and fit the material.

INSIST ON THE “HONOR BILT” MODERN HOME. THIS PAGE TELLS YOU WHY 
 
 When you buy an Honor Bilt Modern Home, you not only get the most, but also 
 the best for your money. Examine carefully the two illustrations on this page 
 and see for yourself the actual difference between the two kinds of construction. 
 It is only reasonable that a Standard Built house should cost much less than an 
 Honor Bilt house of the same size and design. For instance, our Honor Bilt 
 Modern Home No. C2027, described on page 17 of this 1)ook and priced at $386.00 
 
 can be furnished in Standard Built construction for only $273.00— a difference of 
 $113.00 on a small house. But when you have read the eleven reasons why you 
 should buy the Honor Bilt construction, you will agree with us that it is well worth 
 the extra cost. Buy an Honor Bilt Modern Home if you want to make a safe and 
 profitable investment.

 The Most Difficult Job Made Easy 
 
 These illustrations show, better than words can tell, exactly how we 
 make it easy for you to build your own home. Here is the most difficult 
 part of the entire undertaking reduced to such a simple proposition that 
 you only need a hammer and nails to put up the framework of 
 your house. 
 
 Every piece of lumber shown in these illustrations is 
 numbered, so that it can be taken from the bundle 
 without losing time in sorting. Every num¬ 
 ber corresponds with the number shown on 
 the plans which we furnish.

 Page 8 explains how much material we cut 
 and fit for you, proving that it will cost less 
 to build our houses than any other ready cut 
 houses on the market. Actual comparisons 
 prove this. 
 
 Our method more than cuts in two the cost 
 of the labor in putting up your house. You 
 can do most of the building yourself. Any 
 handy man can help you. Your house will be 
 ready for occupancy weeks ahead of the time 
 it would take to build it under the old system. 
 
 Each set of window trim and 
 each set of door trim for all of 
 our Ready Cut Houses is shipped one set in a box as shown in this illus¬ 
 tration. When you are ready to nail them in place they will be as bright 
 and clean as the day they left the factory. 
 
 Please remember that the material in our 
 Ready Cut Houses is rigidly inspected for qual¬ 
 ity. No blemishes permitted in our high grade 
 window sets, door sets or interior trim. 
 
 The framing and dimension lumber is No. 1 
 yellow pine, the strongest wood for all building 
 purposes, and will therefore make a more sub¬ 
 stantial building than hemlock, Huron pine or 
 spruce. Our doors, flooring and trim are made 
 of CLEAR YELI.OW PINE, which takes a 
 beautiful polish.

 N O DOt'BT you will be surpri.‘?ed at the idea of getting the material for a house of this kind for such a low price. The picture of the house, 
 however, cannot be expected to -show anything of the quality of the material which we furnish. This is what really sets the standard of value 
 in our houses. We aim to provide material that will be even better than is considered necessary by a good many people. It pays to do 
 this, however, liecause it saves extra expense bills for repairs from time to time. For the roof, we specify fifteen-year guaranteed Pire-Chief 
 Shingle Roll Roofing, dark red or sea green in color. In addition to this, note the Craftsman front door and the ornamental trellis.

 H ere is a house that is a real bargain in price. You seldom hear of a house of any kind, all the materials already cut, -which can be pur¬ 
 chased for le.ss than .?400.00. For Industrial communities, mining towns or for farmers locating in new sections or on claims, this house 
 stands without a peer. This house has been built several times with perfect satisfaction to the owners. It has a double floor, the walls 
 are solidly sheathed and sided with good quality lumber and lined with building paper so as to insure perfect protection against cold weather 
 In places where lots can he secured for about $100.00. the entire cost of the house, labor and lot included, would be under $700.00. We recom¬ 
 mend this design to the attention of subdivision owners who want to dispose of their property quickly at a fair price. In industrial centers 
 where large numbers of men are employed by manufacturing or mining concerns and where it is necessary that they should be located close 
 to their work, a number of houses built according to our design illustrated on this page would sell quickly.

 I N THIS BUNGALOW we offer a home at a low price with an absolute guarantee as to the quality of the materials we furnish. This four- 
 room bungalow is suitable for almost any location, but it is particularly desirable where low priced lots can be secured, as in this case the 
 house itself and the cost of building it, together with the lot, should come well under $1,000.00. This is a remarkably low price for a house 
 and lot, ready for occupancy. In many sections a four or five-room cottage and lot will sell for $2,000.00 to $2,500.00. Notwithstanding the low 
 price which we ask for all of the material required in the construction of this bungalow, there is no sacrifice of quality and there will be no 
 shortage of material. We furnish a double floor, also good wood sheathing, and plenty of building paper so that the house will be perfectly 
 comfortable in the coldest weather, at a moderate expenditure for fuel. As this house can be built on a lot 25 feet wide, it is suitable for 
 town or country. For a farm house for a small family, it represents a splendid Investment. It is gracefully proportioned and when nicely 
 painted will look well in any community.

 THE KITCHEN. 
 
 THE LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM. 
 
 The two illustrations on this page will give you a fairly good idea 
 of how nicely the combined living room and dining room and the 
 kitchen of our Modern Home No. C248 can be furnished. There is no 
 reason why the living room and dining room of this house is not just 
 as comfortable and inviting as the living room and dining room in a 
 much higher priced house. The kitchen is a lesson in economy, labor 
 saving and cleanliness. You will note the dust trap in the right hand 
 corner of the picture and the handy fuel box with the top of it used as 
 a table in front of the window. You will observe also that the cup¬ 
 board is only a few steps from the sink. 
 
 In all of our Modern Homes we aim to give the customer the most for 
 his money, not only in high quality of material, hut in economical and con¬ 
 venient arrangement. If you are looking for a home that can be built com¬ 
 plete for about $900.00, you will make no mistake in ordering the material 
 for our Modern Home No. C248. As explained on the opposite page, this 
 house was originally designed by United States architects. 
 We have improved somewhat on the design by adding an 
 additional door and porch on the front. This gives direct

You Will Be Proud of These Modern Interiors 
 
 Living Room and Dining Room, Modern Home No. C245. 
 
 Modern Home No. C245 is a bungalow whose exterior appearance suggests extra fine 
 interior arrangement and furnishings. The front elevation, as you glance at it, bespeaks richness 
 and comfort on the inside. A glance at the illustration of the living room and dining room above 
 proves this conclusively. Note the bookcase colonnade, the beamed ceiling, the massive brick 
 mantel with the built-in bookcase on the side. Note also the extra depth of the living room and 
 dining room, nearly 30 feet long. “A $3,000.00 house,” you might say, and you would not be very 
 
 wrong, if it were built in the ordinary way. Yet, by our modern merchan- 
 dising methods, we are able to furnish the materials for only $851.00. 
 
 The Bathroom. 
 
 The illustration above speaks for itself. The bathroom 
 is in keeping with the high class construction and fur¬ 
 nishings of every room in this up to date bungalow. 
 
 Our customers are proud to show their houses to their 
 friends and we believe that the two illustrations on this 
 page explain the reason why. Our homes are homes 
 of quality—homes that can be built with 
 a big saving in labor, time and money.

Living and Dining Room of Our Modem Home No. Cl51 
 
 This illustration is an exact reproduction of the interior of our Bunga¬ 
 low No. Cl51, looking through the living room into the dining room, 
 and is a pleasing picture of simple elegance and homelike comfort. 
 
 Note the large rustic brick fireplace with a leaded art glass sash and 
 a scat on each side. The Colonial columns and balustrade work are up 
 to date features which are being used only in high priced houses. From 
 the first impression you would think this house would cost over $4,000.00, 
 but we make it possible for you to build it for less than $3,000.00. 
 
 Compare Ihis house with similar houses already built in your neighbor¬ 
 hood at a cost of from $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. There are many reasons 
 why such homes are usually very expensive. Architects charge all the 
 way from $400.00 to $150.00 for a set of plans and specifications. This 
 is the amount we save you to start with, and our com¬ 
 petent, practical and expert architects specify stock 
 sizes and patterns of doors, windows, trim, etc., which 
 
 enables you to buy your materials for several hundred dollars less than 
 you could buy them if they were furnished according to ordinary archi¬ 
 tects’ specifications, which in most cases are odd sizes and .patterns and 
 have to be made to order. 
 
 We operate our own sawmills and ship lumber direct from our mills 
 to you. We also own and operate one of the biggest mill work factories 
 in the country and ship all doors, windows, moldings, in fact, a complete 
 line of mill work and building materials, direct to you. In this way we 
 save you several hundred dollars usually paid for profits to jobbers and 
 retail dealers. 
 
 Don’t build until you have had our quotations on materials. 
 
 Our plans are so complete in every detail that any ordinary workman 
 can build any one of the houses shown in this book 
 with no time whatever lost in figuring out how the dif 
 ferent parts are to be put together.

 I N OFFERING this biffh class, artistic bungalow to prospective builders, we are pleased to be in a position to assure them that it is one of the 
 richest and most relined examples of bungalow craft thus far submitted to the public. Experts in the bungalow building line declare that 
 there is a reason for every gable, every timber and every window—in fact, that it is a house with a purpose. In the original conception of 
 this bungalow, brown was ma*de the predominating color. The treatment of the roof, siding, finish, floors and walls of interior, with a careful 
 blending of tone from the darker brown to light terra cotta and creams produces a delightful and harmonious contrast. Tlie illustration of the exterior shows how much the bungalow 
 effect is strengthened by using shingles for siding. Tlie rugged, massive cobblestone chimney adds the final touch of stability and bungalow character. 
 
 Main Floor. 
 
 Front dour opens Into an extra large living room. At the left end of this living room is a fireplace nook, two steps above the floor. At either side 
 of the fireplace are roomy built-in bookcases with glass doors and casement sash above. (See illustration on opposite page.) To the right of the living room 
 Is a bay window with a comfortable seat built in. 'Hie walls of tills room are paneled and the ceiling beamed. A plainly finished opening leads from 
 the living room into the dining room. Near the right hand end of the living room a single swinging door opens into the front bedroom. Note tlie 
 paneled effect and beamed ceiling in the illustration of the dining room on the opposite page. Here you will find a handsome buffet. From the din¬ 
 ing room a pair of PYench doors open upon the pergola. Wlieii this is adorned with fenis. palms and hanging baskets it can be made an exceptionally 
 pleasant retreat. In the kitchen, a portion of whicli we illustrale on the opixisite page, will be found the ever popular Pullman breakfast alcove, a 
 broad work shelf at one side of the sink with cupboard and bins beneath and a disappearing ironing board. Note the location of the bathroom. Two 
 well ligiited and well ventilated bedrooms in the rear. From tlie passageway there is a stairway to the attic which contains plenty of space to be fin¬ 
 ished Into other rooms, such as sleeping porch, den or storage room. Tliere is a stairway from the kitchen to the basement which extends under the 
 rear half of the building. Doors are one-panel clear fir, with clear yellow pine trim and floors. A linen closet, towel case and clothes chute in hall, 
 i^wel case opens into bathroom. The door in the closet in the bedroom adjoining the kitchen has a large mirror on the bedroom side. Double floors 
 In all moms. 
 
 Basement. 
 
 Excavated basement, with concrete floor, under rear half of the house, well lighted, 7 feet from floor to joists. Rooms on the main floor are 9 feet high.

 T HIS house has been pronounced by building experts to be an architectural triumph. When built on a lot of proper size and painted in refined 
 contrasting colors its effect Is strikingly attractive. The concrete block foundation and brick chimney, the unique arrangement of the 
 shingles used for siding and the stonekote panels, make this house stand out with an air of distinctiveness among high class buildings. 
 The arrangement of the rooms leaves nothing to be desired from the standpoint of light and ventilation. The living room extends the entire 
 width of the house, measuring 25x13 feet. Note the balcony or deck on the second floor and the double bay window over the side entrance.

 ’ ERE is a house that is a real bargain in price. You .seldom 
 hear of a house of any kind, all the materials for which can 
 be purchased for $.338.00. For industrial communities, mining 
 towns or for farmers locating in new sections or on claims, our 
 Modern Home No. C107 stands without a peer. This house has 
 been built several times with perfect satisfaction to the owners. 
 It has a double floor, the walls are solidly sheathed and sided with 
 good quality lumber and lined with building paper so as to in¬

 labor and lot Included, would be under $700.00. We commend 
 this design to the attention of sub-division owners who want to 
 dispose of their property quickly at a fair price. In industrial 
 centers where large numbers of men are employed by manufac¬ 
 turing or mining concerns and where it is necessary that they 
 
 should be located close to their work, a number of houses built according to our design No. 
 C107 illustrated on this page would sell quickly.

 B ungalow authorities agree that this style of archi¬ 
 tecture has come to stay. They claim that as the years 
 go hy the bungalow will be even in more demand than 
 at the present time, and should one wish to sell he will 
 have little difficulty in finding a buyer if his building is 
 constructed along the new lines. While the bungalow on 
 this page is neither extreme nor extravagant it has all the 
 earmarks of a cozy, well planned, artistic home. The stucco 
 work of the porches, with red brlck-on-edge coping, the 
 gables and chimneys, at once draw the attention of the 
 paperby. Then, again, the Craftsman front door and 
 Colonial windows still further enhance the bungalow effect.

 reach of the man of average means. Note how gracefully it is proportioned, 
 how well lighted it is on all sides and how the massive porch adds to its 
 appearance. The windows are all of Colonial design. The roof is made to 
 look extra handsome by the use of our fifteen-year guaranteed Oriental Slate

 T his is an octagon barn of first class construc¬ 
 tion and is becoming very popular through¬ 
 out the country. Our floor plans afford an 
 economical arrangement. There are stalls for 
 twenty-four cows, a box stall, calves’ pen, and 
 room for a silo in the center. We will furnish the 
 material for the silo for $199.00 extra. This silo 
 will be large enough to hold teed for the entire 
 season. The arrangement of the stalls makes it 
 very convenient for feeding and for cleaning. The 
 ventilation system is of the best. The fresh air 
 intakes are located in the ceiling in front of the 
 cows. The outlet flues are behind them and expel 
 the foul air through the ventilators in the top of 
 the barn. This system, causing steady circulation, 
 gives fresh dir all the time, which is a necessity in 
 a dairy barn. The stanchions we furnish are all 
 of an approved pattern and hang on pivots, afford¬ 
 ing plenty of freedom for the cow. A glance 
 at the floor plans Avill show the convenient access 
 to the barn on different sides by means of swinging doors. A large driveway with doors 
 big enough to admit a full load of hay permits filling from the inside. There is a large 
 hay loft on the second floor and a grain bin of medium size for feed. Twenty-three 
 windows admit plenty of light. 
 
 Tlie lumber we furnish is No. 1 quality. Our .six'f-ifleations call for Sea Green Slate Surfaced 
 Hoofing-, which is guaranteed to wear and retain its color FOR FIFTEEN YEARS without staining 
 or preservative of any kind. 
 
 Paint supplied for two coats outside work, your clioice of color. 
 
 This big barn is built on a concrete foundation and will last a lifetime. The price docs not 
 include the silo shown on the side. If interested in a silo of any size, write for prices.

 The arrangement of this double corn crib is similar to the one illustrated 
 and described to the left, the only difference being in the size. This crib is 
 22 feet wide by 28 feet long and the two bins have a capacity of 1,600 bushels 
 each of corn in the ear. it has the same loading and unloading facilities as 
 those shown in the large one with rolling doors at both ends and a driveway 
 11 feet wide running clear through. In some localities, owing to the climate 
 and the nature of the corn raised, it is necessary to have corn cribs made nar¬ 
 rower at the bottom than at the top in order to have more ventilation to dry 
 the corn. This crib is specially built to meet this requirement. Our highest 
 grade 4-Ply Pest-of-all Roofing is furnished for the roof and is guaran¬

 This is a first class hog house in every respect and the floor plans as shown 
 are those used by all the leading hog raisers throughout the country. It is 
 very convenient for feeding purposes. All the pens are connected together 
 by means of gates, which enable one to turn all six pens into one compart¬ 
 ment if so desired. A room on the second floor for storing a large quantity 
 of feed is reached by means of a ladder. A feeding alley runs the entire 
 length of the building. A door to the feeding room over the main entrance 
 enables you to take the feed in without any trouble. Eight windows, four 
 windows on each side, which swing outward, give thorough ventilation and 
 plenty of light. Two windows of the same size in the feed room above.

 A S IN the case of hog houses. Government experts de¬ 
 clare that fresh air, dryness, sunlight and space I 
 
 enough to keep the birds comfortable are the prime I 
 
 essentials in poultry house construction. The building [ 
 
 illustrated above was designed by the United States De- * 
 
 partment of Agriculture. As can be seen, it provides for :-L- 
 
 plenty of fresh air and sunlight. If the proper provisions Floor Plan. 
 
 are made to keep the floor perfectly dry, any poultry raiser should be able to get excel¬ 
 lent results from a house of this character. Glass in the front of the house makes it warm 
 during the day and cool at night, as glass radiates heat very rapidly. A light weight of 
 duck cloth, canvas or burlap can be'used for the curtain in front. This provides fresh 
 air and still protects the birds from a direct draft. This building is roofed with our cele¬ 
 brated 4-Ply Best-of-all Roofing, guaranteed for twelve years. Paint included in the 
 above price sufficient for two coats on outside woodwork. No. 1 yellow pine framing 
 lumber. 
 
 Poultry raising can be made exceedingly profitable in almost every section of the 
 country. The high price of eggs and the ready market for poultry make it well worth the 
 raiser’s while to invest in several buildings such as the one illustrated above, which has 
 been scientifically planned, after thorough investigation. Our price for all of the mate¬ 
 rial required in its construction places it within the reach of any poultry raiser. 
 We guarantee all of the material in these houses to be thoroughly dependable 
 and better than is usually furnished for such buildings.

 On looking at the floor plans it will be seen that entrance can be made from either 
 end of the chicken house directly into the feed alley and from the alley into any one of 
 the pens. These are four in number, each one measuring 13 feet 6 inches by 7 feet 6 
 inches. Wire netting, 6 feet high around each pen. The dimensions of the building are 
 28 feet in length by 20 feet in width. 
 
 Poultry raising has been demonstrated to be quite a profitable business and the most 
 noted experts in this line agree that a well lighted, well ventilated chicken house is a 
 necessity where the biggest profits are desired. Especially is this true of people who 
 make a specialty of select prize stock. In our Chicken House No. C221 we provide twelve 
 big windows, six on each side. In addition to these windows we further provide four 
 four-light windows which swing outward at the top of the building, all of same being on 
 the front. No chance for draft if windows are left open, yet this arrangement 
 gives an abundance of light and fresh air. For the roof we specify our 4-Ply 
 Best-of-all Roofing, GUARANTEED FOR TWELVE YEARS. 
 
 This sturdy little building has been designed to meet the requirements of 
 those who do not plan raising poultry on a large scale, but who nevertheless 
 demand modern methods, good material and economy in cost. 
 
 A passageway 3 feet wide, entered by a door on the side, runs the entire 
 length of the chicken house, which is 16 feet long and 10 feet wide. It ha^ 
 three pens, each 7 feet wide and 5 feet 4 inches long. The pens open directly 
 into the passageway with a wire netting door in front of each pen and be¬ 
 tween them wire netting 6 feet high. There are two four-light windows in 
 the passageway and three four-light windows on the other side, one 
 for each pen. For the roof we specify 4-Ply Best-of-all Roofing, 
 GUARANTEED FOR TWELVE YEARS.

 I I ■ ^ I Farmers everywhere recognize the advisability of having a 
 
 Floor Plan. Separate building for machinery and tools. Much money is 
 
 wasted by not taking proper care of the machines required on 
 the average farm throughout the year. The rain rusts them quickly and otherwise im¬ 
 pairs their usefulness. When protected in a building of this kind they are always in 
 good shape. The building will also make a handy workshop for necessary repairs on all 
 kinds of machinery, vehicles, harness and other odd jobs. 
 
 The machinery and tool house above illustrated is 16 feet wide by 36 feet long and is 
 13 feet 6 inches high from the foundation to the peak. It is lighted with ten windows, 
 five on each side. It has two large swinging doors at each end. We furnish 
 No. 1 yellow pine framing lumber and cypress drop siding. Roofed with our 
 4-Ply Best-of-all Roofing, GUARANTEED FOR TWELVE YEARS. 
 
 The milk house above illustrated is a solidly constructed building, 13 feet wide by 11 
 feet long and is 16 feet high from foundation to peak. It has two water troughs in which 
 the milk cans can be set to cool until they are ready to be taken to the creamery or until 
 the milk is disposed of otherwise. On the left hand side a shelf runs from the door to 
 the side wall and extends along the side wall to the water trough in the rear. 
 
 To the farmer who wants to keep his milk in a sanitary condition, this building 
 at the price which we charge for all the materials is a first class proposition. We 
 guarantee a good grade of material all the way through and agree to furnish 
 a sufficient quantity to build it according to our plans. No. 1 yellow pine 
 framing lumber.
