TYPICAL AMERICAN HOME IS
ONE BUILT OF GOOD LUMBER

timber. Although the centers of
production are being removed farther
and farther from. the centers of pop
ulation, freight rates do not make
the shipment of lumber prohibitive,
wood being a comparatively light
material. .a
1t is sometimes urged against l,tfn-
Der that houses built of it are not
SO durable as those of some other
material. This consideration does
not have the appeal in America that
it has in other countries. The .edi:-
fees of America are usually torn
down and replaced before they are
worn out. A good frame house may
be ordinarily expected to last three
generations, and there are many
frame houses in the eastern states
which are in good condition after
200 years of use. Americans are
prone not only to tear down their
houses to replace them. but to alter
and remodel them, and no other
building material lends itself to adj
:ditions and engagements so well as
lumber. t.5.
Deplorable Lack of knowledge
Although lumber has been in use
since before the days of written his
tory, there is a deplorable lack. of
knowledge regarding its structure,
characteristics and proper utiliza-
ton. AS a consequence, common
practice in the use of lumber is often
faulty and wasteful, resulting. in edi-
fees that are too expensive and sub
5ect to rapid deterioration. Care in
the selection of lumber and in it's
treatment and application makes all
the difference in the world in the
completed house. Protection against
decay is cheap and simple, and fire.
tstopping construction makes q frame
house practically immune to inter-
nal fires-and 81 percent of all fires
originate within structures.
knowledge of the proper use. of
lumber is important even il the home

lis house of brick, concrete, stone,
or some other. material for he will

The dignity that a formal house
offers in favored by many. The
classic style as applied to house de-
sign bespeaks the home of a gentle
man. ~
When properly carried out. this
type of house shows refinement in
every detail. The proportions OF the
house must of course be good, and
suitable materials must be used.
The house shown herewith is a
good example Of this type.
The plain stucco walls. classic
doorway and corntce, and tile roof;
all result in an appropriate and har-
monious design. The wrought iron
railing in front of the large first
story window lends interest.
