Let the Plan Book Go to \(/ork

A plan book on the office shelf

Will add no kopecs to your pelf ; Nor will it much increase your biz. If you just let it stay as "IS," And not as "DOES."

But take it down and show your trade Exactly how good HOMES are made; Ffow rooms are planned and windows set, Ifow doors are hung-and we will bet That Biz will Buzz.

For, look you, people like to think About the best place for the sink And whether doors should open here Or there, and whether paint is dear Or stain is cheap.

They like to know where stairs go up, And where the kid can keep his pup; Where Ma can seat her company; Where Pa can find a balcony On which to sleep.

They like to put a parlor front, And closets, so one need not hunt For shoes, and sheets and other things; An icebox, for the man who brings The milk, is good. So let your plan book tell a tale That will go far to make a sale. Show plan and lay-out, time and cost And prove that beauty's gained, not lost, By use of Wood.

Thus will you help those folks increase Their comfort, happiness and peace. They will regret the coin they spent And freely gave, through monthly rent, Their landlord man. And they will bless the day that you Woke up and showed rvhat you could do In helping them a HOME to build, With comfort and with beauty filledAll through a PLAN. DEERLESS E%uilt:in Furnit'urg
