Radford, Rad-ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, for reply. One of the factors which has restricted re-stricted home building is the popular feeling that "a home of your own" is solely the privilege of the moneyed class. Now it is true that one can well invest $15,000 or $2x1,000 in a modern home. But it is equally true that a comfortable well-built home can be had for far less money. Those persons per-sons who are standing on the side lines and watching their neighbors acquire ac-quire a home of their own ought to open their eyes to the fact that they, too, can build a home which will lit their financial situation. In deciding on the moderately priced home there is no need to resort to shoddy construction. In fact, such a policy can never be considered wdse. It Is possible to have a home that is plainly stamped with quality and at the some time keep the investment down to a reasonable ligure. A design that will appeal to all who want a home, but who are not uble to build one costing a small fortune Is shown here. There Is no need to make any apologies for this really delightful de-lightful iittle home. It Is well built, artistic In style and will afford a Joyous Joy-ous spot for any family. This style is of the ever popular and most frequently followed frame construction, con-struction, the preponderant material In all home building. It has beeu transformed from plain lines Into a most pleasing contour by the curved window roof treatment, a type of bay window that Is sure to please. This effect is accomplished by an overhanging over-hanging roof, which adds so little to the cost that It seems Immaterial when the grace and beauty of the effect is considered. Another touch of adornment adorn-ment is given in the pergola effect at the side. Pergolas are In vogue, very much so, und add a great deal to the pleasing lines of the home. Any woman will be delighted with the interior arrangements, which are compact without being crowded. The living room Is a combination living and dining room of splendid size, measuring 27 feet by 13 feet. The kitchen Is well planned and the two bedrooms at the rear of the home are a pledge of quiet and convenience. Besides individual closets In the bedroom, bed-room, provision has been made for a roomy closet for which there are always al-ways a thousand uses In every home. The pergola, of course, will be a popular pop-ular spot during the outdoor weather, und there Is also a useful rear porch. Those who adopt this style for their home will have a pleasant place In which to live, and one which may be built without excessive cost. |
