Good Architecture, Beauty
Feature Pacific AGE. Home

A new, small-cost home, built
entirely with quality materials,
will be open for public inspection
Sunday from 2 to p. m.
The structure. owned by w. d.
Van Derflute, and built by II. B.
Wiltse, Tacoma contractor, is To-
Gated at 1929 Pacific ave.
John Dover Lumber Co. will be
host to the public at the open
house.
Idea of the public inspection,
according to w. C. Deering of the
Dover Co, is to show that one can
build small home with all the
advantages of good architecture,
beauty of design and construction
values enjoyed by the builder OF a
larger and more costly residence.
Porch Well Protected
ION entering the wide front
door of Tacoma's newest model
home, one is at once impressed
with the completeness and the
compactness of this smartly Gre
ated and livable dwelling" Deering
commented.
THE porch entrance is en-
closed and well protected, and
from the porch you step into a
generously-sized living room. This
room. joined by a wide arch to the
dining room, gives ample room for
entertaining and yet provides for
the needs of two separate rooms.
Both rooms are finished in sanded
plaster and are floored with oak.
Large windows and one corner
window give an abundance of light.
Kitchen Is Compact
From the dining room on the
right you step into the kitchen To-
Gated on the left rear side of the
new home. This kitchen Is the
type now growing so popular
throughout America. 1t is COM
plete and compact, designed to
provide for every need and still
eliminate unnecessary steps. To
the rear of the kitchen is the
utility and laundry room, provided
to take the place of basement
and to eliminate cost of basement
construction. This, too, is a COM
pact and complete work room that
has met with the approval Of most
new home builders in late years.
From the living room. you en-
ter a hallway on the left side Of
the new home, which opens on the
first floor bedroom, the bathroom
and stairway to the second floor.
Reduces Fuel Bills
THE bathroom Is well equipped
and perfectly appointed, while the
bedroom is generously large and
