It makes a powerful bid, on behalf of dealers, for business today and tomorrow, presents scores of ideas adaptable to farm home modernization, contains a multitude of suggestions for civilian modernization, suggestions well within the 9200.00 limit set by the War Production Board.

The primary purpose of the book is to show how, through the use of doors, windows and woodwork of Ponderosa Pine, does help to increase convenience and brighten living for today and tomorrow. A section of the book, for example, is devoted to the problem of providing extra space for living, either in order to house growing families or war workers, through adding extra rooms in attic or basement. Considerable attention is paid to providing adequate storage space through the use of practical closets.

Other ideas contained in the book concern planning for "double duty" rooms-utilizing garage space for other purposes, saving fuel through the use of storm sash and storm doors, judging woodwork quality and caring for woodwork.
