this lot. The prizes will be awarded for
the most attractive completed models.

cents each. This charge partially covers
the cost and is made to insure return of
the completed model. On the return of

We believe there is sufficient merit in
the contest to ask you to call it to the
attention of your pupils In working out

working out these house designs, the
teachers aiding those pupils who have en-
tered in developing correct details.
