The success OF the British In their

with satisfaction by naval authorities

demonstration OF what American Of

attract more attention than any home
which they have erected. They have.
therefore. drawn plans and prepared
specifications insuring a real. sure
enough home built with practical
plans by competent contractors, out Of
the very best material. Arrangements
