The design shown today is a
cheap but exceedingly nttractlvu
duplex house which would mako a
very profitable investment for Its
owner.
Finished In hardwood for the
main rooms and the balance In fir,
wilh tilu floor in bath, It is esti
mated that this home could be built
lor from $8000 to $10,iui(), exclusive
of plumbing and heating. The own
er of such a homo could rent the
second floor apartment for un
amount that would net him more
than G per cent on his InvistmentH
The plans provide for six rooms
on each rioor, all with umple light
and ventilation. The front stairs
are roomy and the rear stairs uro
convenient Tor deliveries. There
is a full basement with one set of
stairs. ' '
Large closets feature each 'of the
bedrooms, 'while a coat 'closet' In
the hall and a linen closet in tbe
bathroom will delight the heart of
the housewife. The kitchen Is ar
ranged with the Idea oT ' saving
steps und time so that the house
wife who does her own work will
find It a most convenient and de
lightful place in which 1o -ork.
The aim room is a particularly
bright and cheerful room and. as
a conservatory in the winter time,
will make a charming vista from
the living room, which is connected
to it by a wide arched doorway.
The living room, windows are pleas
antly grouped and would make an
ideal spot for a window box.
Cement blocks are used above
grade wllh cement plaster ubove
asphalt shingles on the roof.

purchases will reach a satisfactory
volume.
In the wst coast field, the larg
er fir mills reported orders 7 per
cent ahead of the cut. Business
with the Atlantic coast and the
i middle west rallied admirably from
ilast week's slump while California
trade and export buying remained
on an even keel, stocks were fur
ther depleted by heavy shipments,
making it difficult for the mills to
fill orders for cars containing
specified lengths. Some Items in
uppers have softened $1, but in
general the mills are- getting
enough business to maintain cur
rent quotations.

Winter.
