Frame Houses Reintroduced In England

Washington, March l0.-Advices received by building information agencies here tell of a novel departure in England. While building circles in the United States are discussing the feasibility of introducing the all-steel house, English builders are introducing the equal novelty in Great Britain of the alllumber house. The London County Council, which has undertaken an extensive housing program, has just let a contract for the erection of two thousand allwood houses, and for one thousand houses largely of wood, but partially using steel frames. Altogether the London County Council is erecting six thousand houses.

The lady of the house answered the census-taker: "Yes, there are five of us-my husband, myself, the baby, the cow and the dog."

"Your politics ?" he asked.

"Pa's Republican, I'm Democrat, the baby's Wet, the cow's Dry and the dog is a Socialist; lays around the house all day doing nothing."-Cheyenne Rotary Club.

Harry Westover Has Customers Confidence

There is a fellow down at Santa Ana by the name of Harry Westover, running the Frank Musselman Lumber Company.

He is a live wire and whoever owns that yard must be fully appreciative of the fact. Harry has put over a number of clever stunts for his company, good-will-gaining ideas, all with the tang of uptodateness about them.

Needless to sav. he reads "The California Lumber Merchant," as evidenced by a letter received from him just the other day, enclosing a copy of an advertisement that they had in a local paper, last week.

Here is his letter, we are proud of it:

"\ltfe are constant readers of the C. L. M., and an issue never goes by that rre do not get one or two good ideas from to use in our business.

"The enclosed ad, which appeared in our local paper, is the result of a recent issue of your journal."

And here is the ad.
