The opening of the Bismarck Home
which will be displayed to the pub
lie tomorrow.
The home is located at 811 Mandan
ST., just north Of Avenue d, and all
residents Of Bismarck and vicinity
are invited to inspect it during the
Demonstration period which will
last week. The house will be open
from z to 9 p. m. daily.
In order to give the effect Of q
home, rather than an untenanted
house, the structure has been COM
pletely equipped with furniture and
other accessories embodying the
latest ideas in home decoration and
arrangement.
Many articles which have real
value as labor savers also will be
displayed by various business firms.
In inspecting the home. visitors
should keep in mind that it was not
designed or constructed as q model
home but as demonstration of how
much the home builder can get for
his money in Bismarck.
Some things have been done in the
home with view to making it at
tractive for demonstration purposes.
The painting in four of the rooms
is stippled whereas plain paint would
have been just as efficient although
not as attractive.
The front entrance of the home is
approached over four concrete steps
which are both wide and deep. The
appearance Of these steps will be
improved when shrubbery is planted
in the corners on. either side of them.
Over the front. door is the usual out
side lighting fixture.
The entrance, or combined porch
and sunroom, has four windows in
addition to the door and is connected
with the furnace so that it may be
heated. It will be an ideal place for
children to play in the fresh air,
either summer or winter, and will be
a comfort to older persons as we'll.
The sunroom opens onto the liv-
ing room, almost directly opposite
the inside fireplace. This fireplace
is made of plaster and is painted to
harmonic with the rest of the dec
orations. It is equipped with a gas
radiant fire and has four windows.
The walls Of the living room ara

The dining room, which is longer
than it is wide and not very large
is separated from the living room
only by wide arch. Lighting fix.
lures in the two rooms are of SIM
liar design. A five-lamp fixture has
been installed in the living room and
a three-lamp fixture in the dining
room because of the difference in
size. The lighting fixture in thu
sunroom is especially well suited fol
that place. The dining room also
has four windows.
Entering the kitchen from the din.
ing room the visitor sees an electric
refrigerator against the north wall
near the outside door. It is thanked
by the kitchen sink and cupboard

west kitchen wall. The kitchen
range is against the south kitchen
wall, north of the doorway to thu
dining room, and the southeast cor
ner Of the room is left vacant *
that a small working table may b,
installed. The kitchen has two win

One Of the unique features Of tn,
kitchen is the pot closet above tn,

necessity for STOPPING to obtain pot

The cupboard was built by the con
tractor and contains ample room TO

equipment. Plenty Of drawer spac

Special attention is called to tn
manner in which the electric refria
orator is installed. A cupboard
placed above it and the whole an
pearance is that it was PARTICULAR
designed for the Demonstrated
Home. Instead it is = stock mode
and the built-in appearance come
because Of the way in which it ha
been enclosed by molding and othe
