1t has become the custom for most
of the builders in the United States
and Canada to keep on file this pub
hcation, not only for their own bene-
fit, but for the use of their customers,
and they find their business promot-

dwelling louses, costing from a few
hundred to several thousand dollars,
are illustrated in each monthly
number, besides a double page print
ed in colors, representing one or mere
handsome residences already built.
After the design for the elevation or
style of the house has been selected,
l builders are enabled to give a close
estimate of the cost of construction,
rs the working plans accompany the
elevation. Most persons contemplat-
ing the building of a house or stable
