CATCH ITIG TH E EYE

Here is an attractive adventiremeng dieplayed recently in their local newrpaper by the Bentley Lumber Company, Glendale.

It has one very necessary featue for a succesful advertis€ment, an "eye catcherrtt with the bis h€ad about Attdy Gump.

Andy Gump Says

"Trying to build a home without plans is like running a car without oil-it may start all right but it will start to squeak before you finish building."

We like that thought of Andy's. It applies to every one building a home like ham applies to eggs on the breakfast table. And the beauty of it is thatthe successful home builders realize that fact.

When a home builder becomes sold oncompleteplans and specifications idea, he at once eliminates thecostly waste of time and money. Take Andy's advice, use the "Oil of Complete Plans and Specifications."

Plans and Specification will smoothover the rough spots of business; help the old bus take the grades without laboring-by the use of our complete and up-to-date Plan Service, it not only makes the homg buildng business ride safer and more efficient, but moreinteresting and enticing.
