After years of experience in con- tracting and building in different sec tons of the United States, have come to the conclusion that too much effort has been put forth to provide homes for the so-called better class of people, leaving the wage earner of modest de- sires and ambitions entirely out in the cold-compelling him to pay rent, year after year-giving the best years of his life's struggle over to filling the pock- et-book or bank account of his landlord with hardly a hope of ever owning a little home of his own.
 Year after year, these wage earners have gone on, pouring their monthly savings into the laps of smiling land lords-year after year their chances growing less and less of ever possess ing that little nest, which be it ever so humble, it is home, sweet home. know the art-longings of these people be- cause l have worked among them and with them. l know their desires and | have often seen these desires give way to despair because the chance of get | ting a little home of their own seemed next to impossible.
 Several years ago Henry Ford saw just this same situation in the automo- | bile world and set about to cure it. The l result is as familiar as many of the Bible stories to every man, woman and | child throughout the United States and many foreign countries.
 Now l aim to do in the world of 1 homes just what Henry Ford did in the automobile world-I propose to give eVedy man a chance to own his home no matter how modest his finances are. ! hu rn a1g 1ggfer 1nI TI cut house called the "Phoenicia.7 which has sprung into instant favor among | the very people I expected to reach. Just as the ready made suit ordress of today provides comfort and style for the man or woman of modest means. who cannot afford to patronize high ! priced tailors-juSt so has the "Phoe- nicia" taken these same people by storm.
 Such expressions as, CT never be- heVed you could put up such a dandy house for that money'-'Tsn't it q dea r little house and just think how cozy it | would be fixed up," etc.-"Oh. so clea n and fresh; what relief after living in an old shack" And so it goes. Ask anv family which owns one.
 But l want 10 say more about the "Phoenicia-" The foundation rests on cement blocks. scientifically placed so as 10 receive a well balanced load making the floor extremely solid and free from give or play. Joists are placed lS' center with good flooring nailed to each joist. The outside walls ana inside partitions are built of tsx5it' No. Oregon ceiling, tongued and grooved so as 10 shut out wind and ar, making the "Phoenicia" very cozy ana comfortable in winter. All windows are screened outside with sliding names inside. All door and window oneninVs are cased inside and out. The roof is made of special asbestos roofing naner which renders the roof practically fire. proof.
 The "Phoenicia7 is flexible-that is doors and windows or partitions maI be changed about as the purchaser maX desire. Additions may also be made tc good advantages screen sleeping porch, for instance, on the side of ths "Phoenicia' would cost but s5c DC, square foot extra-that is a 10x1O porcl would be SS5. These additions may h. made now or later when the owner car afford it-but without additions of an, kind, the "Phoenicia" provides a bom, for the family. while rent receipts ar, replaced by deeds and certificates O ownership.
