J. P. Day Will Auction 3O1
Parcels at Chester, Pa, on
Saturday, March 18.

Among ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF the United
States Shipping Board during the war
was the building of several model vii
lagos to house the employees in the
various shipyarcs. Buckman Village, at
Chester. Pa. comprising about 30l
dwellings and apartment houses, was
one of the important of these war time
operations and now the Shipping Board

try, has been commissioned by the
United States Shipping Board to conduct
This sale at Chester, Pa
When the Camden and Bristol sales
were held last December many people
went away disappointed, being unable
to purchase houses, and Chester. Pa.
presents another opportunity. because II
is only about twelve miles distant from
Philadelphia. while Bristol Is about
twenty-five miles away.
Chester and the immediate vicinity Is
alive with large industrial concerns
which employ many thousands of skilled
and unskilled hands. II is the logical
place for these people to live In. and the
o. portunity of purchasing their homes
IN such a desirable section Is one which
rever can be duplicated once these
houses have been disposed OF by the
United States Shipping Board. Among
the large concerns which have plants in
the immediate vicinity are the Texas OIL
Company, National Aniine Company,
~
Company. Sun Oil Company, Congoleum
Company, Vlscose Company and the
American Steel Company.
No expense has been spared In maxi

The estate representative wanted to
know how much the buyer would pay
on deposit. The latter carelessly went
through his clothes and produced a total
of 5000. Apparently impressed bv the
buyers manner the representative of
the selling interests accepted this sum
on deposit.

Inemcicncies of "Tyrnnt House,

what Is known In England as the "Ty-

newspaper:
Because the builder wanted to make
the most of his ground the house is
built on four floors and has a basement
From the front garden fight of steep
steps runs to the entrance on the first
floor. 1t takes a woman half an hour
to clean these steps every morning
From the top to the bottom of the
house there are stairways involving no
fewer than forty-hve steps. which means
that fire in top bedroom means a
ninety step journey for a maid. Kitchen
and scullery adjoin in the basement
And the scullery sink was thoughtfully
placed just as distant as space would
allow from the pantry and cooking
stove.
"The dining room Is on the first toor.
so all food must be transported first
along passage. then up a fight OF
fifteen stairs. and again along q COR

architects ear that It would be an ex-
