Haven't You Often
Thought

of whaf changes or imbrovemenfs
might be made in your house to make
it not only more Convenient, but more
comfortable and more honey?
Perhaps the changes, as you have
pictured them, have seemed impossible.
We have met with so many such
decisions-and ninety.nine out of
hundred of them have been mistaken.
An Eberly Plan Supervisor was brought
into consultation-andh his experience
found the way to work wonderful
chan9es-same as he would be able to
suggest for YOU.
After you have approved the
suggestions and adopted the details
then you can leave the execution up to
The Eberly Plan.
The advantage of that is ALL THE
WORK is done by Eberly Plan
craftsmen. That means only ONE
overhead profit, moderate one it will
be-and only ONE responsibility
OURS.
Right now is a good time to give
serious consideration to renovizine and
undermining the home, and if you will
call District 6557, an Eberly Plan
supervisor will be glad to help you in
solving the problem.
