SIMPLE, NEAT, AND SUBSTANTIAL. L.
THIS sy. tenn of bnding is the most simple in con-
i struction. variety of erecting ventating cleans
ing moving &C., as well the cheapest mode Of house
building yet produced 1t is particularly applicable for
temporary residences buildings for railroads similar
purposes, or for emigrants TO countries, offices,
seaside or country summer cottages bathing boxes,
agricultural exhibition buildings, warehouses, shops
Photographic, school house green house, South Amer
can Buildings, &c., &c
In comparison with the huts ordinarily erected, these
buildings have the following advantages:
ls Greater portability, being lighter Tor less weghty)
%. Simplicity aud method in the construction the
parts being similar in each building Of the size
If any parts should be lost damaged parts Of other
buildings duplicates will fit the part so lost or injured
buildings can be arranged from the parts
forthcoming Also, any person OF ordinary lntelll.
gence can erect take down. remove and reerect them
in few minutes, without tie use Of hammer nails or
other requisites.
Sd Greater use or utility. AS after being used in
one locality they can be taken down, moved and re-
erected in other places without loss or damage OF ma
teria, and In a very short time.
4th Greater diversity OF arrangement. They can pc
connected simply to make alarge room or series
9th. Greater advantage in cleaning and purifying. =
They be partially or wholly taken apart and after
being freely aired (which is Of the best purifying
processes If necessary the several parts washed and
cleansed Of impurities reerected in very short time
thus giving q clean and sweet abodS very congeniai
| TO the health and comfort of the occu pants.
9th Greater advantage in making the exterior uou-
BILE for either winter summer use by pntng an IN
side lining the the outside, and arranging the
ceiling in the same manner or in forming payil-
lion by throwing open any section or sections or by
glazed sections forming conservatory graperJ OF

7th Greater be auy and neatness Of appearance for
as little if not less cost and variety CT changes in
| removing the doors and windows.
9Th They can be made of any size from sentry
box to ship house OF any usual form and style,
from a railroad shsDty to an Italian villa OF OF heavy
or light material Of weed metal &c. They can aso
be constructed wholly with boards by forming scant
with strips of boards nailed together when scanting
cannot be obtained.
In fine the advantages and combinations of the in
vention are numberless.
The cost and transportation Of the rough lumber to
localities where such buildings are required, may be
more than for the manufactured hut or cottage Also,
the difficulties Of obtaining suitable mechanics, &c,
pht be greater than if they made where chan
les and materials could be obtained chespy ana plen-
| tfully.
These hints are comfortable in all weahers, and being
neat In appearance they have the tendency encourage
neatness in the occupant ,
Lnv information can be obtained and orders attended
N either for the manufacture and sale Of Cotages Hut
&e or for patent rights at liberal rates BY addressing
