There is one thing I like about
our architects plans" remarked
uncle. as they left, land that is they
won't be of the usual stereotyped
variety, for his training and asSocia-
tion enables him to suggest the lat
est ideas in home building construc-
ton, furnishing the latest improved
building designs in vogue. That
means something, you know"
Let me see," exclaimed Uncle
Henry" before we go any further,
I'm thinking the next thing to look
after is lumber for your house and
other Improvements We want, so
suppose we drive over to the Bour-
bon Lumber Company. have known
them for a long time and I'm sure
they'll give us square deal. They
carry the most complete stock in, this
part of the country, everything from
hills to shingles, and from tree to
consumer. Their motto is, Every
thing to build your home"
"They have the best yard in
Paris" continued Uncle, after MAX
ing the young folks acquainted with
Mr., Peaie Collier, the Secretary
treasurer, and Mr.. w. E. Collier,
the manager of the company, where
you can get anything needed for
modern house, as they take orders
for all kinds of interior work and
grills to order, as they operate their
own planning mill and can turn out
anything desired, Their goods are
always uniform, the milling is per-
feet, and a point 1 especially like is,
all their flooring, rustic, ceiling and
finishing lumber is kiln dried and
that means your home won't shrink
apart, as so many houses do. They
operate one Of the best up-to-date
mills In the country for hardwood,
such as quarter-sawed oak, cypress
and pine, used in interior finishing.
Then all their finishing lumber is
kept under cover, and that's what
carpenters like-nice, dry lumber.
Their yards are backed up by the
best mills in the country, so their
stock is always up to the minute,
and as for prices, there is no yard
around here that can quote the low
prices which the Bourbon Lumber
Company can quote. People want
ing to build, as rule, like to see
what they can do, but invariably
they come back to them for all they
need"
THAT was certainly some lumber
yard" exclaimed Paul, as they rode
away.
Indeed it u.s." Henry answered
"They have a big investment here
and this big business was built up by
giving their customers just little
bit better grade at no higher price
than could be obtained elsewhere
I've purchased my lumber here fol
years."
What Jolly fellows they were,
remarked the Major. What"
Both w. E. and Peale are we'll
liked here" assented Henry, "ant
they are doing a lively business
Peale is our new Sheriff now
and if you brought over some good
old Canadian Walker or Real Scotch
keep your eye 'pealed," or he'll ge
you sure"
Poultry, fruit and bees make ;
good combination for a small farm

me of another good conundrum, Vir

YOU get busy with some grape nut:
and think it over. Or, mabye III
tell you after while. You REMIND
me-"
Seeing you have the lumber ar
ranged for" said Paul, Il guess the
next thing will be to look for the
plumbing. Where shall we go?"
"The leading lumber of Paris Il
T. w. Spicer, 314 Main street, ant
he is a cracker-jack, too" emphati
cally remarked Uncle. We'll JUS
run down there for moment and
will introduce you. You'll find hin
a very agreeable gentleman"
81 don't pretend to know every
thing" continued Uncle, after intro
ducing the young folks to Mr.. Spicer
"but when I want plumbing AM
heating work done 1 want a firm
which bears a Statewide reputation
for honest work, who charges TO
the exact articles and time consum
ed, and doing business along thes'
lines is what keeps Mr.. Spicer ;
