See those houses?" sail a citizen
to the writer recently; "the owner
thought at the time that he was get
ing cheap job, but We think diff
'erently. The buildings have not
)eeu completed but few years, and
light now they need repairs. See
low they have settled out of shape;
prick must have been scarce at that
Ime, for there is not more than half
enough in the piers to make "A SUBJ
;tantial foundation. You can stand
IN the floor of one room and shake
he entire house; that l. because the .
rame j. entirely TOO light. Look
It the shingles on the roof; thtle are /
otS IF them gone and others lie i
'rOSS-wiSe, because nails were /
carce also, or they wooid have !
nailed every one instead ni every |
'ther one a they did do. Aud the |
pure l!nseed oil thar the uupsirci- |
l. d contractors did not u-e. hat
fi~h oil because il cost ~
entS a gallon les. has also got i'm
Z work and another coat Of paint i
cry much needed"
The above l. only one of mary
Instances whore parties thought th4y |
rere getting something cheap but
Just a. good. and instead they got
shabby and only worth
alf it, real cost. There are enough .
contractors in Pen-a-
ola To do all the building ana re-
airing in honest style; so why not
atrouize them, even ii it costs a lit
le more?
