"is a bit of mother ca tn. SO we will just
go to Wood, Harmon 4 Co., 134 Wyo-
ming avenue. They have control OF
| some of the choicest suburban prop

Now we are ready for the cage OF
your bird" says Uncle Josh, land the
| first thing in order Is to engage a COM
petent architect. The leading man
here is John A. Duckworth, Coal Ex-
| change. That he is gifted with the in
| spirations of the true artist Is shown
| by many notable illustrations in this
city and elsewhere, notably the Hotel
| Jermyn. Though his success here has
been unusual, his unremitting industry
| and talents fully entitle him to the
| enviable reputation he has gained for
| the symmetry, grace and thorOughness
| of his work. His buildings are. also ad-
| miied for their liability and elegance,
while the elaboration Of detail and the
care bestowed on every department
reflect the utmost credit upon his hon.
| orable and businesslike methods. Mr..
| Duckworth has been commissioned with
many large and expensive modern build
| ings. constructed after the latest inn
| proved methods. and on the majority
| of these buildings he has had the sharp
est competition with some of the ablest
men in the business, which gives con-
| elusive proof that he stands in the front
rank Of his profession. His prices are
| always moderate.

Uncle Josh. '"The foremost man In this
line in this city Is M. T.. Worden, 300
| Wyoming avenue. The builder occu-
| pies one Of the most important branches
of industry of which this country has
reason to be proud, for 1t is principally
on them that the fame and popularity
Of our large cities depend. Mr.. Wor-

time offers inducements impossible to

terial, as he personally selects only such
lumber that Is sound and well seasoned,

out to perfection. He Is rapid, too; the
sills won't rot before the shingles are
