a system by which homebuilders OF
moderate means could afford wood
work that was in good taste and OF
architectural merit. Here again 1uan-
tity production plays its part, and It
has been coupled with Standardization
of the various designs produced. This
means that fewer different designs are
produced, but that those which are
have been that much more carefully
considered as to their excellence of de-
sign and their suitability to average
needs and to production methods.
It requires no expert eye to detect
the greater economy Of the new wood
work than the old. A comparison Of two
catal ogues-one Of this year and one Of
of several years ago-quickly reveals
the tendency 20 greater simplicity and
to more slender details, both Of which
are elements Of economy in woodwork,
as we'll as IN better conformity with
the princ pies of good design, and con-
sequentIy of good taste.
stock Woodwork
These changes eliminate the stand
ing objections of the architectural pro-
fession TO what they have often termed
in disparaging manner stock" wood
work. In fact, these changes were not
made by woodwork manufacturers with
out the guidance of competent archi~
teets. A thorough survey Of present
tendencies in homebuilding had 70
be made in order to arrive at a basis
for Standardization and design.
There is little need to do more than
mention here, also, that in woodwork,
as in practically everything else CON
nected with your home, it is not econ
orny to buy cheap material. Such
stuff - there seemed to be no other
word that fits-invites further OUTLAY
later. and dissatisfaction at all times
An efficient distri buting system
enables manufacturers 60 supply sucn
woodwork practically anywhere in the
country So there is no longer the
excuse that formerly existed for not
having the structure Of the house con
form to the principles Of good taste
in interior development.
Obviously no effort could be made In
any such project to satisfy the lido
syncrasies of every taste. Instead.
general average was sought and adhered
to. There are, however. enough de-
gns of each item of doors. windows,
stairs and permanent furniture to sat
isfy a wide variety of tastes, even
among those who are ardent admirers
of only one type of house, such as Co
lonial or English. In manv cases an
item which could be appropriately used
in one type Of house could also be ap
propriately used in another, especially
if finished in different way. The
woods in which the various items sre
standardized are those which are suit
ed to the correct finish for the type
represented, so that there is small dan
ger Of violation of good taste in max
ing g selection from these stock de-
signs.

Recently Mrs Mcdonnell moved to Birmingham, and it was then that the friendship and TO- nance was begun between her charming daughter and MT.

Farley, Sr, a re- tired capitalist and citizen of Anniston, Mir Farley went to Birmingham to re- side where he at once took his place among the citys most successful young men. He is prominently identified with the Traders National bank, being vice president, and IS president of the Realty Trust company besides being member of Birfnngham's exclusive social clubs and civic organizations.
