nally stumbled on a still Smol-

5 Continued From Poee B-l
that is widely copied by ad
agencies today.
1t consisted Of selling the
mood of a project rather than
o house itself. For over q
year Old Farm has been ad-
vertised in the local press, yet
a picture of a home has never
appeared.
In fact, the first picture Of
an Old Farm home is pub
lished today on the first page
of this section. Mostly, Ket-
tier Brother ad are done in
q soft shade Of gray and
show the well known wolf
Tree" a pastoral scene, or an
old rustic fence line.
9 Realizing that Old Farm,
off Montrose road between
Wisconsin avenue and Route
los, was pastoral land, the
Kettlers did something about
it. They have planted $500
trees. A few years from now
1t will be a heavily wooded
community. Only in this case
the trees will be where they
should be.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-02

We know a young family
who moved from a home into
a house trailer and they love
it. There is no room for stor-
age so there is no incentive
to purchase anything that is
not for Immediate use.
In many new homes that
we have seen la5ely storage
space is short. There is not
even a hatch to allow you to
use available storage space
beneath the roof Naturally,
this discourages people from
becoming pack rats.
Incurable pack rats like
ourselves prefer storage space
to economy. We also dislike
the thought of people falling
off ladders while trying to
crawl through those tiny
matches which most modern
homes have. That is why we
suggest the installation of a
disappearing stairway.
Stairs are purchased as
completely assembled units
and installation by anyone
handy with carpenters tools
is not difficult. The job con-
sists of cutting an opening
of proper size in the ceiling
and fastening the stair unit
in place.
The dimen ions of these
units may vary slightly. but
most of them will require an
opening 26 by 81 inches. Cell
ing joiStS usually are spaced
Is inches apart on centers.
To get the 26-inch wide
opening, it will be necessary
to remove a section of one
joist. When you purchase the
assembly you will obtain in
structions as to the size of
the rough opening needed. so
be guided by this rather than
