PAINT SUGGESTED
AS INVESTMENT
], H, Berger Extends Long,
Term Credit to Customers,

There is a great deal Of property
for sale in various parts of Indian
apolis and much depends upon the
appearance of the property as to how
soon the transfer will be made and
how satisfactory the price will be.
There is nothing that improves the
appearance Of property at as small a
cost as paint does, and for this rea-
son the man who owns property
should not neglect this very important
detail.
J. H Berger, IT S. Senate Ave, uses
the very best of materials on his jobs
and also guarantees the workmanship
to be of the very highest order; he has
a payment plan whereby a customer
may have his house painted and take
as long as ten months to pay for 1t.
This is a great boon to the man who
realizes that the depreciation of his
property is mounting higher and
higher and who may not have ready
cash. He can stop depreciation of his
property and enhance its actual value
and greatly increase its turnover pos
sibility and pay for the painting over
a period of time.
Our painting Is guaranteed, our
satisfied customers are our best boost
ers. We feel that our payment plan
has been great help to many for they
have had the benefit of the work and
have not had to pay interest on the
Ast Of the account"

BUY GOOD LUMBER
IN FIRST PLACE;
COST NO GREATER
Indianapolis Lumber Com
pany Official Advises Wood
for Home Purposes,

Whether or not you build with
good lumber. you will pay the price
Of good lumber is a fact that has been
proved over and over until the build
er of today realizing this buys first
quality Of lumber in the beginning,
thereby letting the first cost be the
large cost-while If he had bought an
inferior quality of lumber his first
cost would have been increased by
the repair and upkeep cost until
within a very short time his house,
still an inferior job, always the source
Of dissatisfaction. would have cost as
much as If he had built of first quail
ity lumber in the first place.
Realizing that few people outside of
the lumber business really know the
differences in the standard grades of
lumber or how to compute the footage
of the same. the lumber company
from which he is buying must protect
him and see that he gets just what he
ordered.
The Lumber Merchants Credit and
Inspection Bureau is doing consider.
able work along this line and the
companies under this bureau give the
customer in absolute guarantee that
the lumber purchased of them is Of
the count and grade purchased.
According to Ross Hill, Jr., of the
Indianapolis Lumber Company, wood
not only meets all structural and dura-
bility requirements for building, but
offers many advantages as we'll. One
Of the largest costs in building Is
the labor, and because of the SIM
plicity of construction a house con,
structed OF wood is built In much less
time than that constructed of any
thing else, and for this reason the
labor bill is correspondingly less.
Then, too, wood is a non-conductor OF
heat, Is free from dampness and warm
er in winter and cooler in summer.
Another great thing in the favor Of
wood as a building material is that
building of wood can easily be re-
modelled, and with the addition of new
paint will not be different in appear
ance from the rest Of the house
this cannot be said of any other kind
of construction material.
