says girls make a serious mis-
take by rolling their stockings

this hurts the circulation Of the

COOPERATIVE
PLAN PROVES
GOOD
zepp Advises Prospective
Builders to Begin Work
Before First of Year

Zepp's cooperative plan of erect.
ing Lewis Built Homes is nicely
oxemplified.
Mr.. A. g. Bruce purchased from
the local Lewis Homes Service a
special Van Cortlandt house. He
had a number of individual ideas
81 his own which entailed numerous
changes in the original plan or
this house. He also added to the
Van Cortlandt plan a Cheltenham
sun parlor and a rear addition
comprising q sun parlor downstairs
with a sleeping porch upstairs.
Also a Marlboro hood over the
front entrance and many other
distinctive features. This house
Is now being plastered, although
work Of erection was only started
about a month ago, and the car
renter work has been performed by
three men. Mr.. Bruce expresses
himself as well pleased with the
materials, service and progress IN
connection with this undertaking.
He deserves credit for the sue
cess Of this operation In that ne
has fully carried out his part OF the
cooperative idea. Firstly care
fully planning in advance the home
he wanted to build, instead or
leaving lot Of costly changes to
be made during the construction OK
the house. Secondly cooperating
with the agent in carefully listing
and describing the alterations, adj
ditions and extras required for his
home. Thirdly personally inspect
ing, appraising and signing the va
rious sub-contracts. SO that there
would be no misunderstanding about
the various costs Of the different
parts of the work. Fourth -uhd
most important-he has managed
TO visit this operation at least once
every day and check over the work
with the various subcontractors,
thereby avoiding costly mistages
and at the same time, enabling him
TO encompass minor improvements
and advantageous alterations with
out excessive costs. In other words,
he and his wife are building them
selves into their home. The follow
ing is brief summary of the i'm
rcrtant things that he has lone:
Planned carefully before hand.
Arranged for ample financing,
through the cooperation of Mr..
Zepp.
Checked carefully with the agent
the necessary materials for his
house.
Checked carefully, appraised, and
approved his subcontracts.
Has given personal attention to
the construction of his home.
The following are some of the
things he has not done:
Did not order his material han.

things to be provided later at a
greater cost.
Did not underestimate the cost
Of his undertaking thereby caus
