Every stick of timber that goes into these houses is cut to measure at the mill. The framing, the rafters, the joists and the stud- ding, all are ready to set right into place when the lumber reaches the place of erection. The house reaches the ground with nearly 50 per cent of the carpenter work already. done, and a crew of three men will have a house like the one shown here ready for plastering within four or five days from the time they begin the work. WERE’S ONE It is the modern way of building. It will save the home owner time, money and worry. It will be built in half the time a regular con- tractor can possibly put it up. There will be no waste lumber shipped to the job, and con sequently a saving to the owner in that respect. The entire contract, ineluding plumbing, wiring, and every- thing else that goes to make a modern house, will be taken care of by this company, should the purchaser so de sire. There will be none of the annoying delays due to some dealer or contractor's failure to procure material In time. When the material for a house from this Company reaches your city or lot lo- cation, It will all be there when it is needed, and on time. We build to your plans and specifications, or we will provide them if you preter. We can save your from 15 to 26 per cent of the cost of your house; and if this is enough of a saving to interest you, get in touch with us, and right away.
