New Booklet on Vacation Cottages

To help lumber dealers and contractors sell vacation cottages and cabins, The Celotex Corporation has just issued an attractive 16-page booklet containing perspective views and floor plans of eight cottages.

The book gives prospective buyers a variety of ideas and suggestions for fireplaces, outdoor barbecue racks, wall bunks, flobrs for outdoor terraces and similar items.

The cottages range in size from inexpensive one-room cabins to {our room dwellings which include two full size bedrooms. There is also a duplex cottage designed for two family occupancy.

The booklet also shows a wide variety of styles. One cottage is streamlined and modern, several are in more traditional style and a few are designed with simple shed type roofs for maximum economy.

All of the cottages are planned for comfortable year 'round use. Some employ painted Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing for outside walls, with Celotex Interior Finishes on inner rvalls ,and ceilings. In others Celotex sheathing is used on the outside with no interior finish. Several have imitation log siding.

The booklets are available to Celotex dealers, and contractors may obtain them from dealers or by writing direct to The Celotex Corporation, 919 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
