Your old house can be rebuilt and brought up to date in com fort and appearance at relatively small expense. By changing the interior arrangement slightly by building on a room or porch and adding a new roof, new chimney, new coat of stucco the en tire structure will have adifferent appearance. It will be a charming home instead of the. old house greater in value and in the pleasure of living. . t , . ; II. P.
