The views shown above give an idea of the complete transtorma-
ton which can be wrought in a home which has lost its style appeal
and has become dilapidated through weatherng.
The matter of remodeHng is receiving considerable attention at
this time of year and is one of the most thrifty building activius
which we have. The eagernesS of banks and building and loan COM
panies to make loans for this type Of building, amply proves that it
is a good business venture.
One of the most popular types OF remodeling activity is the face
brick veneer method. With facility and low cost, an old frame struc-
ture may be slipped into an overcoat of face brick and thus restore
its usefulness and style appeal. The picture above shows what a
complete transformation can be wrought by the use of this substan-
til colorful material.
