Every so often, someone
contemplating the purchase
of a house asks us whether 1t
is better to own q one or two
story building.
II there were a set answer
to that question which would
apply to everyone, 1t would
be lust q matter Of time be-
fore all private homes would
be in one Of those two cate
gories. There Is. Of course.
no set answer. Everything de-
pends on what the family
most needs. And before we get
into q misunderstanding
about what we are discussing,
let's make it clear that q two
story house in this connection
means one that will be oc-
cupied by a single family.
as distinguished from a two
family house.
When you buy a one-story
house. you are buying q home
that will make indoor-out-
door living easy. Everything
is right there. so that you can
move indoors or outdoors
without climbing stairs. In
fact, it is the hack Of stairs
that makes one-story houses
so popular with elderly per-
sons.
But the fact that every
thing Is on one floor has o
disadvantage, especially when
there are small children in
the family. II the parents
have company at night. will
the talking or music disturb
the children's Slumber?
Thus. in a one-story house.
you have fewer steps but less
privacy. Which is more i'm
portant to you?
It follows. naturally. that q
two-story house generally
gives more steps but, also
more privacy. II you don't
mind climbing stairs land
don't overlook the housework
angle In this connection). q
two-story house provides q
lot Of living In a minimum
amount Of ground space.
There are variations OF
these two types Of houses; for

from inexpensive bright col
