One of the most frequent demands
made upon architects and builders is
for a house of moderate cost, yet one
that will satisfy persons of taste and
refinement and come up to what they
feel a home ought to be. With the
advancing scale of prices both for
building materials Of all kinds and for
the skilled labor required to fashion
them into a permanent residence, the
problem of satisfying this demand
seems to become more and more diff
ficult of solution.
The writer has given great deal
of study to this matter. and has come
to the conclusion that the way out lies
not in going without, as so many fam
lilies do-continuing indefinitely the
old, unsatisfactory renting life. moth
