Firm Reports Sales Doubled
Used in Large Projects.

Sales of Fenestra steel windows
throughout the United States in Au-
gust were more than 100 per cent

"it Is surprising to learn that half

Of

Its
Inception
The idea of the my
Home" contest was born
of a desire to awaken in
the public consciousness
thoughtful interest in the
possession of a home that
would express ones own
ideal and truly deserve the
title which has been be-
slowed upon it - my
Home"
With that object we Sc
lected a fitting site in Wes-
terleigh and asked the
public to submit sketches
of it's ideas, offering the
incentive of a cash prize Of
$1O0 for the plan for which
the public should express
its preference.
