pretty home, the convenient home the
healthy home and the moderate priced
home-the home with its sunshine and
fresh air and sanitation; the home with
it's conveniences builded into its walls
and its atmosphere whispering always
of home and comfort and convenience
and the bungalow resulted. The people
over there fell in love with them. They
lived in them and found them good.
Now the people OF the SOutlW GStern
hemisphere are discovering that the
bungalow style of dwelling place is
what they want, and the architect is
alert to see what he can do to add to
the advantages of the original and
improve it.
That FL Paso architects have forged
ahead with seven-league boots in that
ambition is evidenced by the hundreds
of these pretty homes here. 1t is not
an uncommon thing to see mingling
with the more pretentiOus homes the
low on any of the city's residence
streets, and the passerby can but ad-
mire them. They attract the eye even
more than their more expensive and
pcnderous neighbor, the palatial resi-
dence They have about them an at
mosphere all their own that commands
ones respect and always his admira-
ton. They eVince a home pride and
aesthetic ideal IN place to live that
causes one to admit to himself they
are home with character.
The Cottage No More.
RELOCATING the old fashioned cottage
to the things Of yesterday. the bunga-
low has come to stay There may come
new notions IN the moderate or
medium priced construction of homes
but the far-seeing architect of today
cannot discern in the future any new
type Of like building that VIII suppIant

Mr. Perry. a member of the firm, said
that this purchase seems "a little far
sighted to some" but the sure growth

ton. He bases his optimism upon the
experience of other cities where the
trend of residence growth is always
toward the highlands. They have made
this their choice for the next home

"Buuding FL PasO."
It is a pardOnable pride in the Perry
Kirkpatrick Company to say they are
building 81 Paso." They lay boast to
the fact that they have put up 362
hoQses here since they began business
Not only do they claim to be building Ell
Paso but they say and with just ground
for it, that they are raising the stand
ard ideals in its building. 1t is not dis
puted that the class of homes they
have been putting up are an honor to
FL PasO's residential sections. They
have infused live interest and new life
in the sections they have taken up ana
undertaken to populate and there VIII
be few if any who will quarrel with
them because they feel like they are
building El PasO.'

Not only is the Perry kirkpatrick
Company equipped for building homes
of the highest class, but they are pre-
pared to sell you a car to ride out to

make smooth driveways up to them SO
they can sell you a motor car to drive

world that can climb up any OF the
steeps in Morning Side Heights, but Mr.
Perry only smiled when he told the
reporter this. He wanted something
said about the Fords, just the same.

Beautifying Ell PasO.
A few gears ago FL Paso, like all
other cities, was one of mediocre or
common structures-that is builded Of
brick and stone and lumber after the
less fanciful ideas of past day artists
Its best homes were of the palmer
notions. Its cottages were just cot
tages-those little, unpretentious mod
els that had been in vogue for gener-
auOns. Today it is different Alert
builders began to study the advancing
tastes and moving ideals of people, and
higher appreciation of home bdilding
rapidly resulted.
Realizing the bungalow idea to be
one embOdying varied tastes and vet
structure that maintained always its
CHARACTERISTICS, live builders of Ell PasO
homes introduced it here. Among the
first to see the possibilities Of the
bungalow, not only in the civic beautf-
Tying of FL PasO but che pleasing Of
patrons, Perry & Kirkpatrick began to
talk bungalow They found read,,

that it lacked character style. beauty
and attractiveness in its homes. They
set about to offer to their trade some

make 81 PasO more beautiful and at the
same time elevate the ideals of its
builders. They introduced the bungalow
and were the first company to do it

among the artistic structures wherein

regard for civic beauty
AS the art of architecture advanced
the ideals of abodes for the people went
on apace- From the hipped roof cot
tage there came the craftsman idea.
This was getting away from primi-
tive things. Cottages Were transformed
from the ''straightback" boarding up of
frame or the piling of brick or stone
in a straight line. with partitions and
a roof to the prettier and more artistic
arrangements. Then came the Orna-
mentatiOn of the more moderate homes
with the fancy notions of the drafts
man. And now has come the modern
bungalow, a triumph over all that has
vet been evolved in the minds of the
clever architect.
