is most important to the general
appearance. Although the frame
may be sturdily built and an ex-
cellent piece of construction, the
house will look cheap II the wall
finish is not applied and finished
with care and good taste.
The difference in material and
labor between a poor job and a
good job is not worth the few
dollars one might save.
Dry wall construction consists
Of using panels of composition
material to cover the wall frames
instead of using the two or three
coat plaster jobs. This is highly
recommended for the small low

recommended for the owner-built

tai houses also had not yet "bal-
anced ITSELF" though he said de-
mand had lessened for houses
