PROPER LIGHTS
IN BEDROOMS
Central Ouerhead Fixtures
Best For General
Illumination =

Bedrooms of the past have been
overlooked too often from the
standpoint of lighting. AS a
result, the labor spent to EN-
bellish and beautify this room was
either too garish or too dim to
bring out the beauty of the
furnishings.
For the well-lighted bedroom OF
the present, central overhead
lighting fixture is, perhaps. the
best for general illumination. To
this may be added wall brackets
near the dressing table and stand
ing lamps of appropriate colortone
or boudoir art lamps near the bed
for those who like to read them
selves to sleep.
OF course, the style and color
win differ in the rooms for the
feminine user from those in a mans
room.
Stepping from the bedroom to
the bath. another lighting problem
is faced. White enameied
bracket fixtures, one on each side
of the mirror, have been found the
most satisfactory to furnish the
glareless but relatively intense
light required by the man of the
house for his daily shave.

Atlantic City
Grows To West
Expansion Along Albany Ave

Rapid Rate
FED BY GREAT
THOROUGHFARES

Even the casual observer who
looks around Atlantic City these
days must be convinced that its
long established tendency to
grow toward the west is continu-
ing. and at a rapid pace.
In the vicinity of Atlantic and
Albany avenues, and continuing
west from that intersection, along
Albany Avenue Boulevard and
other thoroughfares, there is
marked evidence of growth, and
there are those who are ready to
predict that West Atlantic City is
destined TO become another Allan
tic avenue with East and West
traffic of great business volume.
Streets leading into Albany Ave-
nue. Boulevard in Atlantic City and
also in Pleasantville, draw from
great supporting thoroughfares.
Atlantic City, Chelsea, Ventnor,
Margate and Longport use Albany
Avenue Boulevard as their outlet
as well as means of ingress. 1t
always follows that growth of
residences and business houses
follows a Travelled thoroughfare,
and the expansion is creeping
ever westward over Albany Avenue
Boulevard.
At the western end of the
Albany Avenue Boulevard the same
expansion and growth is pressing
ever toward Atlantic City, because
of advantages of residence and
convenience Of access.
Although Albany Avenue Boule-
ward is one of the two main
arteries out of Atlantic City and
has been in use for many years,
lit is only within a comparatively

Designers Urge
Better Building
Cheap Houses Are Most Cost
~ To The Builder
HIGHER STANDARDS
FOLLOWED HERE

Much has been recently written
about the vast amount of construc
ton work, especially dwellings
which has been completed in Wesi
Atlantic City and nearby. Less
has been said about the quality OF
this construction. Any community
growing as rapidly as this viii
inevitably have many trying prob
lens to meet.
The builders of cheap houses
cut every known corner to save
costs and cheaper construction,
and then sell them while they are
still brave in a shiny coat of cheap
paint, for a price equal to the cost
of a well built house. II is true
that this climate is mild and that
storms are infrequent, and possibly
this has engendered the building
of lighter houses.
However. in West Atlantic City,
houses have not only been design
ed with an eye to beauty. but also
to the more practical side of con-
struction-for permanence.
Higher Standards.
Houses designed have shown a
higher trend toward standards of
beauty. utility and permanence.
and contrasted with houses built
from ten TO twenty years ago. the
Improvement is decidedly marked.
Much more is being done in this
direction as the architects are en-
eouraged by the building public to
interest themselves more and more
in the designing of small houses
and the owners realize the short
sightedness of negleeting to see
that the handling of their program
is placed in competent hands.
The psychological effect OF this
improved tendency upon adults,
and even to a greater extent upon
children, of living in house ex-
pressive of beauty and harmony,
cannot be oyerestimated.
Benjamin r. Fox, for twenty
years a builder of homes in Allan
tic City. is building up a great
community in West Atlantic City.
He is building homes that are
meant to last, and their quality is
backed by his superior building
knowledge and experience. Beau
ty has here been combined with
utility and permanence, producing
Utopia OF modern homes.

Artistic Roof
A First Thought
Home Builder Wants Harmon
iOus Roof To Blend With
Character of House
SLATE AND TILE IN
WEST ATLANTIC CITY

Roofs, along with architecture
have undergone transition period
of recent years.
Formerly they were regarded OF
no particular interest viewed as
merely covering, the chief duty
of which was not to leak. But
nowadays, the first thought of the
home builder is to have on his
new house an artistic, harmonious
roof that will blend in with the
character of the home.
1t is chosen with as much care
as the draperies or the rugs, for
nothing could be more outstanding
an error than garish, shining
new roof on an old English type
home, or a plainly American roof
on Spanish house.
West Atlantic City houses of
various periods and types have be-
come decidedly popular. and
these homes are varied according
to type and period with slate or
tile roofs.
But yhat difference there is
in the slata roof of today and of
yesterday. The house with its
color scheme. its type and also its
setting is carefully studied; then
the slate is chosen to harmonic.
The blending of colors and the
choosing of the type of slate with
view to its thickness and its
texture. require an artist.
The beauties of those old slate
roofs of England and other Old
World countries have been studied
carefully by roofing experts and
when the roof of the early English
house is finished, it melts into the
house so cleverly that it appears
to have grown out of the ground
WIN tHe STRUCTURE.
Tile for several years had a
tremendous run as roofing. but
slate is taking its place. The
spanish house. of course, calls for
the old Spanish or Cuban type of
rounded tile, and is in favor, but
the desire for the harmonious
weathered look in roofing of all
kinds has brought slate in the
limelight, for slate has that look
because it is weathered. Slate
deposits have been mellowed and
colored by nature. in years that
have passed.
Buildings outside of homes also
are tremendously rooted.

Real Estate Is Basis OF
All Wealth And Activities
Continues To Be The Most Substantial Investment Because
1t Is REQUIRED In Connection With
Every Operation

Real estate is the basis of all
wealth and of all activities. With
the exception of the waters of the
earth, the entire surface of the
globe is real estate
The manufacturer, who is the
initial distributor Of the prosperity
in the cities, must first acquire
real estate upon which to erect his
plant. The merchant must have
real estate upon which TO erect his
store. The first step in establishing
railroads and other modes of
transportation is the acquisition Of
real estate. The great steamers
which plod the seas must have
real estate at the starting point
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-05-10

and at the landing point. Even the
aviator who plies the air must have
real estate from which to start and
upon which to land
Real estate continues to be the
most substantial Investment, just
as it has always been during the
century and a half of this great
nation. The foundation of nearly
all of the great estates which have
been built in this country is real
estate. Experience shows that with
few exceptions, central real estate
has always advanced in value.
The basic rule for most great
fortunes applies forcefully in the
experience of Atlantic City.

What Rent
Payers Lose
500 a Month Means Nearly
$4,000 Spent in Ten
Years
THAT IS A HOME
EVERY TEN YEARS
By BENJAMIN H. FOX.


If the many families who have
been paying rent for 5, 10 and even
20 years should figure out the eco
nomic waste of the practice, it is
reasonable to believe that a size
able proportion of them would set

on a home and then letting month

With negligible number of ex-
ceptions, no family can live with.
out paying for roof overhead. If
it belongs to someone else, a pre-
MUM must be paid for the use of
it.
If it belongs to the occupants,
they have a status of independ-
ence which renters never exper-
fence. For many years this COM
pany has made it possible for fam
lilies of all degrees to eliminate the
rent habit from their lives.
Strictly speaking, the first pay.
ment on a home, which need not
be large, is the only outlay of any
consequence that a family makes
in the entire transaction. The sub
sequent monthly installments would
have to be paid anyhow to a land,
lord. They are not new or ad
ditional expense. They merely
represent the substitution of some
thing worth while for something
worth nothing.
If families paying as little as $50
per month rent realized that in Il
years, mal3 a reasonable allow
ance for principal and interest lost
they throw away close to $4,000
it is doubtful if they would favor
continuing the habit for another
decade. If the rent is $50, the 10
year loss is nearly $4,000. Paying
rent at the rate of 800 per month
means nearly $4,000 spent, with
absolutely nothing to show for it.
in the same length Of time.
1t has been said aptly that rent
payers lose home every 10 years.
They lose more than that, because
the peace of mind and genuine con-
tentment of an owner are things
that are hard to measure in dollars
and renters can acquire them in
no other way than by becoming
home owners themselves.
A payment of $1,000 starts a man
and his family in the homecoming
class. The balance then is taken
