kind that is in such great favor in
those mountains. These will be
grouped about little central circular
parks. We will build these and
sell them outright at such a low
cost that they will be within tie
reach of people of moderate means
Besides the log houses we will build
cottages according 10 any plans

lowest possible figure. In short, If
a man comes to us and tells US
what sort of a home lie wants in
lie ozone belt We will build it for
lin cheaper than he can build it
We will have public ma
furnished by the famous
'prings of the st. yammany bills
which will be delight to all WHO
