Crystalline finished eover, lined with asbestos insulation, Automatic Gas Heat An illustration of what the public demands and what the progressive builder supplies. 18 modern homes, built by Cooley Bros. in the 5600 block of Kansas Ave. northwest, which were priced with Bryant Automatic. Gas Heat. 16 were sold before completion. A model home is now open for inspection at 5604 Kansas Ave. northwest. T is only good business for a builder of homes to pick the best for his particular development. He must insure the qual- ity of those homes because his future business depends upon the complete satisfaction of those who have bought from him. That is why leading builders in Washington and elsewhere specify " Bryant Automatic Gas Heat. ) Men who have delved into .the problems of heating—men like W. O. and C. E. Cooley—are pretty apt to give you sound value when it comes to the proper method of heating your home. They are interested, not merely in building and selling their homes, but in their comfortable maintenance afterward. It was only natural then that Cooley Bros. should choose Bryant Automatic Gas Heat— certified by engineers to be the most efficient type of heating plant in use today——for their moderately priced homes on Kansas Avenue. Their ‘ judgment is justified by the fact that 16 of this group of 18 homes have already been sold. People now-a-days are not satis- fied with semi-automatic or makeshift heating plants which use other fuels. They have learned that in the long run the best is the most economical. Other progressive builders, who are thinking of your comfort and - the protection of your investment, are making Bryant Gas Heat standard specification, and such men are apt to build a sound, full- value house in every particular. A Bryant in the basement is a good sign. Look for it. BRYANT GAS HEATING, Inc. '504 Star Building o ‘!" Phone District 9631-2
