One of the most useful publications for
builders and persons contemplating
building is the beautifully illustrated
Architect and Builder edition of the
Scientific american, published monthly
by Mum & Co., the celebrated patent
solicitors, at 361 Broadway, New York.
1t has become the custom for most of
the builders in the United States and
Canada to keep On file this publication,
not only for their own benefit, but for the
use of their customers, and they find
their business promoted by so doing.
A great variety of dwelling houses,
costing from few hundred to
several thousand dollars, are il
lustIated in each monthly number,
besides double page printed in colors,
representing one or more handsome resi-
dences already built. After the design
for the elevation or style of the house
has been selected, builders are enabled
to give close estimate of the cost of
construction, as the working plans
contemplating the building of house or
stable for their own use derive both
pleasure and considerable saving, some-
times, by carefully considering at their
leisure, and by their freside, vari-
GUS designs and plans which
may come before them. To enable
a person to come to a wise conclusion in
such an important matter as building Q
home for his family, he will be wise if
he brings the subject before his entire
household, and studies carefully over in
the domestic circle the style of house
and the interior arrangements. 1t not
only affords great pleasure to the entire
family to be considered in the matter,
but good suggestions will come from it
and mistakes will be less likely to occur
in the selection. By all means consult
the wife and grown-up daughters, if 30
fortunate as to have them, and to this
end everybody who contemplates build
ing should provide himself with COM
plete file of the Architect and Builder
edition of the Scientific Amlerican, some
forty numbers, and then he will have at
hand not only the best material to select
his design from, but he will also find the
publication useful and profitable to refer
to while the building is being con-
structed.
If person does not find the design for
a house, or other structure he contem-
plates building, that suits his fancy, or
the estimate of the cost is too great, in
single number of the publication he will
be very sure to find in some one of the
other numbers something that will suit
both his fancy and purse. Hundreds of
dwellings have been erected on the plans
that have appeared in this publication,
and any person who contemplates build
ing, or who wishes to alter, improve, ex-
tend or add to existing buildings, whether
wings, porches, bay windows or attic
rooms, will be pretty sure to find what
he wants in the Scientific american Arch
itect and Builder, which is published on
the irst of each month at the office of
the Scientific american, 361 Broadway.
