Through the National Small

national industries which make up
what is called the building industry
are striving to provide modern val
ues In the use units of the home,
while holding fast to all that is
good in tried and true home de-
sign and construction. AS ma
chine for living, the Betsy Ross is
as modern as a streamliner. Yet its
exterior may be finished to give a
Weathered appearance which, with
its Colonial style, would let it stand
in harmony beside Revolutionary

veloped such finishes, to meet the
demands of New England builders
who want their new homes to have
an aspect of rich and rare old age"
The Betsy Ross may be built in
most parts of the country for $500
and in some places for less It's
monthly cost, in terms of an FILA
insured loan, ranges around S32 per
month, including average rate for
fire insurance and taxes. Working

As Colonial in its exterior lines,
side porch, dignified doorway, and
the rustic pattern of its single side
walls, as the original flag of thirteen
stars, Design No. 1-B of the Ma
tlonal Small Homes Demonstration
1889 series of economy small houses
is we'll named the Betsy Ross. This
is one of NSHD's group of six two
story homes, all having one basic
floor plan Western Homes Founda-
ton is. publishing these homes and
serving as source for working
plans and information on low cost
housing in the six Northwestern
states
The basic design of these six
homes, as illustrated in the floor
plan, is deceptively simple, says w.
c. Bell, chairman of Western Homes
Foundation. Even the working
drawings and specifications do not
reveal the extent of expert knoWl-.
edge and study that went into the
production of the designs They
were worked up in Washington
during the past year by engineers
and architects of heating, plumbing,
electrical, paint and other indus
tries, as we'll as those of national
lumber organizations. Government
authorities were consulted at every
step. The problem was to produce
homes that would be as modern as
today's small automobile and yet
priced within reach of families that
can pay only from so cents to a
dollar a day for housing.
The Betsy Ross is one striking
example of the results. Real econ
omies have been worked out in its
heating, plumbing and other use
units. Two types of construction
are provided. The builder may
choose working plans for conven-
tional framing, or plans for the new
economical plank floor system. The
floor plan is perfect oblong, so
that additions may be made easily
and economically and without loss
of architectural beauty. The Wash
ington mansion at Mt Vernon was
originally an eight-room house
There were two additions in later
years. Each added beauty to the
famous home as we'll as space. The
home that grow, is a Colonial
tradition.
