BRICK HOUSES ARE SUBSTANTIAL Provide Homes That Will Last for Generations. COST NEED NOT BE LARGE Design Shows Attractive Building That Is Modern in Design and at the Same Time Economical in Construction. By WILLIAM A. RADFGRD. Mr, Willlam A. Radford will answer and give advice FREE OF on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On accouat of lils wide experieace 'as Editor, Author and Manutacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to Willlam A. Radford, No. 1827 Pralrie avenue, Chicago, Jll, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. | Everyone who llves or has lived in a small town knows or can remember “the brick house.” The owner usually was the most affluent member of the community. Not that the brick house cost so much more than the others, but just the word “brick” conveyed the thought of stability. | Bricks and brick houses are almost as old as civillzation. True, the bricks of centuries ago did not compare with the bricks of today, but the anclents fashioned blocks of clay in the warmer climates, allowed them to bake in the sun and constructed houses of them. ‘And they lasted and supplied a home for generation after generation. These are the reasons that brick houses are popular. They give an air of stabllity, because they are stable themselves, The man who builds a brick house builds not only for him- gelf and his family, but for genera- tions to come. | In the era of home bullding that is opening this spring, there will be erected homes of all types, Thers smal} family; the larger frame house fon the large family, and the head of the family who wants something different and at the same time wishes to build for the future will select a brick house. ‘The accompanying llustration shows a style of brick house that has the advantage of being constructed of a well-nigh permanent material, and is pianned to provide all the com- forts of the modern home. There are chall LIVINGRM! 1094 164x2d ino frills about this architectural de- sign, but the house has the alr of solidity, the convenience of arrange- ment and the graceful exterior that everyone wants Iin this type of a home. Square Appearance Removed. ‘While the front porch and the gable above it have taken away the effect, the house itself Is practically square. \There are no angles to the walls, which makes for economy in construcs tion. However, by the additions noted, the square appearance has been taken away and an economical, solid and attractive home has been designed. The dimensions of the house, ex- clusive of the porch projections, are 29 feet 4 Inches by 26 feet & inches. The front porch is of good size and with the broad door opening makes an attractive appearance, The house contains sjx rooms, a large reception hall and bathroom. Downstairs are living and dining rooms, reception hall and kitchen, and upstairs are three bedrooms and the bath. | The weception hall is 10 feet € — c— - inches by 9 feet 6 inches. The stair- way to the second floor is at one side, while double doors lead into the liv- ing room, which is 16 feét 6 inches by 12 feet 6 inches.., Three windows at the front and one at the sids make it a bright and pleasant room. While no fireplace has been provided in this design, it will be noticed in the ac- companying floor plan that the flues run through the wall at one corner and it will be an easy matter to pro- vide one. Sense of Spaciousness. The dining room is connected with the living room by a colonnade. Thus, through the generous openings, the re- ception hall, living room and dining room, are practicully one room, giv- SECOND FLOOR PLAN fng a sense of spaciousness which would not be obtained if each room was shut off. The dining room is also of good size, being 11 by 14 feet. As this also is a corner room, it is extraor- dinarily light and cheerful, there being three windows at the end and one at the back. Off the dining room and back of the reception hall Is the kitchen, 11 to 13 feet. A good sized pantry opens off the kitchen at the back, making the-refrigerator acces- sible for icing from the back porch. The upstairs arrangement of rooms 1s unique. There is one larga bed- room 14 by 12 feet, over a portion of both the living and dining room. This has three windows at the end and is a delightful sleeping and sitting room. Large closets on either side of the room will appeal to the housekeeper. The hall leads directly to this large room and off it Is a bedroom at the front and another at the rear of the house. The bathroom opens off the end of the hall, While a description of the arrange- ment of a house and the dimensions of the rooms does not always give a very good idea of its interior, the floor plan visualizes it much better. A careful study of the first and sec- ond floor plans given herewith will reveal to the reader how many are the fine features of this brick house, Horne Is Good Investment. Owning a home of this character i8 as great an asset as being the owner of Liberty bonds. Both are the best investment any man can make. The former provides a place for the fam- ily to live in the years to come and the latter provide the wherewithal to maintain it. Prosperity begets pros perity and there is no place more pros- perous than a community that is made up of home-owners and not renters. The quicker a man gets into the former class, the better citizen he becomes and the better cliance he has to be prosperous. The principal reason why the mod- ern American head of a family does not own his home is that he feels that assuming the responsibliity of paying for it i8 not worth the effors. A talk with any home-owner will soon dissipate this idea. The banks are filled with money that the prosperity of the country has brought and they are looking for sound investments, And there is nd investment a bank would rather make than loaning money to a man who wants to build a home. A small percentage of the cost 1s all that is needed to get a home; the balance can be paid in place of the rent that the tenant pays to his landiord. With the government urging build- ing, just as it urged everyone to buy Liberty bonds, there is added to the BETTER THAN ANY MEDIUMS Mince Ple That Brought Vision of Home Caused Wounded Soldier to Long for Life. Ple Is pot among the articles treated of in works on materia medica, but a recent incldent shows that it may have therapeutic value. In a hospital lay an American sallor, for whom ev- erything had ‘been done by surgeons, doctors and nurses, and yet something was lacking. He was homesick; his mind was ever away in a little At Aantic coast town. One day, In the midst of his bodily pain and soulsuf- fering, there flashed upon him the ob- Ject of his quest, and he murmured excitedly: “Ob, if I could only have a piece of mince pie.” It was not that he wanted to eat a piece of ple, for he’ was too 11l for that. His hunger was for what the ple represented. An American nurse who heard the wish managed, with some difficulty, to find all the ingredients for 8 real New England ple. When she took 1t to him she put with it a bit of cheese, also hard to procure in these times, 80 that nothing would be lacking, and In the cheese she planted 2 minfature Stars and Stripes. The " poor boy could eat nelther the ple nor the cheese, but they contributed just the home touch needed to improve his condition. When the wife of . the American consul general visited him later she remarked upon the improve- ment in his condition, and he sald: “Two days ago I was In such misery that I could have welcomed death. Now I feel that America is not so far away as I thought and that I have got to hang on.” GENERAL BELIEF IN HONESTY Bomething Very lee the Milennium Seems to Be Near In Great British Metropolis.
