Is unique. There is one large bed
room IA by IL feet, over portion Of
both the living and dining room. This
has three windows at the end and Is
a delightful sleeping and sitting room.
Large closets on either side OF the
room will appeal to the hOusekeeper.
The hall leads directly to this large
room and off 1t Is a bedroom at the
front and another at the rear OF the
house. The bathroom opens Off the
end Of the hail.
While a description of the arrange
ment of house and the dimensions
of the rooms does not always give
very good idea of its interior, the
floor plan visualizes it much better.
A careful study of the first and Sec
ond floor plans given herewith will
reveal to the reader how many are the
fine features Of this brick house.
Home Is Good Investment.
Owning a home of this character Is
as great an asset as being the owner
of Liberty bonds. Both are the best
investment any man can make. The
former provides a place for the fam
lily to live in the years to come and
the latter provide the wherewithal' to
maintain it. Prosperity begets pros
perity and there is no place more pros
porous than a community that is made
up Of home-owners and not renters.
The quicker man gets into the former
class, the better citizen he becomes
and the better chance he has to be
prosperous.
The principal reason why the mod
ern American head Of a family does
not own his home is that he feels
that assuming the responsibility or
paying for it is not worth the effort.
A talk with any home-owner will soon
dissipate this idea. The banks are
filled with money that the prosperity
of the country has brought and they
are looking for sound investments,
And there Is no investment bank
would rather make than loaning
money to q man who wants to build
a home. A small percentage of the
cost Is all that Is needed to get a
home: the balance can be paid In
place Of the rent that the tenant pays
to his landlord.
With the government urging build
ing, just as 1t urged everyone to buy
Liberty bonds, there is added to the
investment in a home the feeling that
he who builds is a good patriot.
Build a home" this spring and next
spring see how much happier you are.
and, what is better, how happy your
family will be.

Everyone who lives or has lived in
a small town knows or can remember
"the brick house." The owner usually
was the most affluent member of the
community. Not that the brick house
cost so much more than the others,
but just the word "brlck" conveyed
the thought Of stability.
Bricks and brick houses are almost
as old as civilization. True, the bricks
OF centuries ago did not compare with
the bricks Of today, but the ancients
fashioned blocks of clay in the warmer
climates, allowed them to bake In the
sun and constructed houses of them.
And they lasted and supplied home
for generation after generation.
These are the reasons that brick
houses are popular. They give an air
of stability, because they are stable
themselves. The man who builds a
brick house builds not only for him
self and his family. but, for genera
lions to come.
In the era of home building that is
opening this spring, there will be
erected homes Of all types. There
