you'll pay for them for years to
come in heat lost, drafty floors and

fully designed, precision built and
factory fitted windows and window

Can't Replace Windows
Good windows are a permanent
part of your walls. They protect
your investment in insulation and
quality construction. Any home
without weathertight windows is
only one-half insulated. So when
you build, get down to fundamen-
tails. Always remember-you can
add the gadgets any time, but you
can't replace footings or timbers or
windows. They've got to be good
right from the start.
