Modem living is exemplified by the tremendously popular one-story home. Its convenience, beauty, and efficiency are instantly recognized by the modem home builder and the homes shown on the following pages have been designed and engineered to present for your consideration a wide range of "Rambler" type homes.

Notice the many conveniences and innovations that these homes offer. Most of them provide a superabundance of sunlight and ventilation, achieved through the use of picture, bay and comer windows. Homes of this type are singularly adapted to the many modem advancements in millwork and other building materials. Most of the homes in this book could be classffied as the rambling type, yet each has a decided individuality of its own. All of these homes have three things in common ... attractiveness, economy, and efficiency. Efficiency and economy in the construction of these homes are achieved by: (1) Efficient engineering of the plans for use of stock lumber sizes and

standardized materials and equipment. (2) Dimensioning of plans for use of framing lumber in even lengths, thereby minimizing waste of material and labor. (3) Engineering for the use of modular millwork and other modular coordinate products.

Study the designs and Hoor plans carefully for they contain many innovations that have been carefully worked out by experienced specialists in home design and construction. It is our hope that the home which will bring your family the utmost in happiness, health, convenience, and comfort may be among them.

We shall consider it a privilege to discuss your home building requirements with you and all of the facilities and materials of our entire organization are

at your disposal.

he hours that are spent in the kitchen are what you make them. That is why too much care cannot be given to its arrangement and decoration ... to save steps and be as pleasam, comfortable and en joyable as it is possible to make it. Personal tastes should be your guide when selecting colors, curtains and decorative schemes. The kitchen is distinctively yours. It reRects your own personality. Make it a room you are happy to be in, and proud to show your guests.

This is an L-SHAPED KITCHEN. The three main worh centers are conveniently arranged al011g two walls, witl1 the refrigerator nearest the e11try door.

The U -S 1-1APED KITCHEN is ideal for larger homes and {its in well with plans which inchtde breahfnst rooms a11d extra cabi1~et space.

Hlhen only two walls are available, this hitchen is the answer. This type of plan pro vides space for a table and does not req11ire much walldng or maching.

There are many ways of planning kitchen arrangements, but some major principles should be followed to save time and effort and allow greater convenience(I ) !nclude counter tops or working space beside the sink, the range, and the refrigerator. (2 ) Place the sink so that it is convenient to the range and refrigerator. ( 3) Include a food-mixing center, beside the refrigerator preferably, or beside a range.

Store foods and equipment nearest the place where they are used - within arm's reach whenever possible.

PICTURE WINDOWS

Great stress is placed on the inclusion of picture windows in modern homes. Because of their larger size, these windows let in more light and afford an unbroken pic· turesque, intriguing view which contributes more to the livability of a room than paintings or tapestries could ever do. Today, they are standard items and may be had at a cost within moderate reason.

The attached garage and the porch at the left add greatly to the effect of extreme width of this relatively small home. An unusual effect is created through the four living room windows that look out upon the stone flower boxes. Stone is used also to decorate the chimney. The use of a colored door at the entrance, such as the yellow one illustrated, adds charm and individuality. Available with or without basement. Please specify Plan 1 or 2.

e BLUE PRINT PLANS. Our blue print plans include the following complete drawings for each design: Basement or foundation plan, first floor plan, second floor plan, front elevation, right side elevation, left side elevation, rear elevation, sections and detailed drawings, all necessary framing plans. All working plans are drawn to standard scales. Blue prints for each design are available. e REVERSED PLANS. Obviously, a plan designed for a lot facing east will not result in the best exposure when your lot fronts to the west. Plans of homes- as illustrated in this book are available either as shown or reversed, as may be required. • HOME BUILDING is a complicated process in which a mistake means a loss in time, money and satisfaction. To build a satisfactory home- with no after regrets we strongly recommend the use of carefully made, accu· rate blue-print working plans. It is essential, safe and economical to first construct the house on paper. Accurate plans and specifications must be submitted to a loaning agency for its approval when you apply for a mortgage loan on a new home.

e EXPERIENCED DESIGNERS. Years of experience in house planning and construction and an architectural department composed of skilled draughtsmen, architects, and engineers, are the elements upon which plans of the utmost accuracy and completeness in regard to design, strength, durability, and comfort and home con· Ytnienca, art c:natldo

e SUPPLEMENTARY DETAILS. Further supplementary details for any of our plans will be furnished upon request.

e SPECIFICATIONS are statements of particulars which tell what you are going to receive in materials and workmanship. Building COD· tract forms are also available.
