Frank F. Fee, general.manager of Special Materials u'ith warehouses at 3330 F,. I2th Street, Oakland, and 26ffi Harrison Street, San Francisco, is introducing a new idea in home construction-Aero-Bilt Home Sections.

In discussing the new idea Mr. Fee, who has had rvide experience in the merchandising of building materials, said:

"These sections are made of kiln-dried lumber, and plyrvood permanently glued with waterproof glue. The variety of sections includes wall panels, with or without lvindows, floor and ceiling panels, and wall panels, including flush doors. The sections may be combined to fit an1' floor plan and are so versatile in use that no two houses need be alike inside or out.

"An average size 5 or 6 room home can be erected to the point rvhere, ordinarily, one would have the inside wall coverings applied in a few days. Any decorating medium may be used to finish the inside and outside walls as there are a number of finishes available.

"Special Materials is confident that they now have good, low cost, permanent housing that gets away from the faults of prefabricated housing and yet retain the advantages.

"These panels are available on H. H. prioritv and have N.H.A. approval and may be financed r,vith F.H.A. loans. The sections for an average size veteran's home may be stored in a space one-third the size of a box car. Where it is necessary to install pipes and drains, as in bathroom 'ivalls, 6" rvalls have been provided, with the inside plyrvood wall to be nailed and glued in place after installations and inspection of plumbing are completed.

"Aero-Bilt sections eliminate the long searching for sash and doors, sub-flooring, sheathing and interior wall coverings, and make building a home a matter of days rather than weeks and months. The miniature and full-size displays in the Special materials warehouses rvill be a matter of gleat interest to all builders."
