building changes with the age In
stead Of the old lumber, men use iron
and steel. Instead Of crumbling bricks
and uncertain firing, they use cement
and stone. To build for the future
you must use the best that science ap-
proves. You will need your attic for
new tools and new storage. And to be-
modern the storage must be temper

The oftener you can turn your posses
