Veterans Given
Preference, Says
White Rock Man
“Oregon veterans will be given
preference,“ said Mr. Davis, de
signer of the “Redw’ood Home of
the Future,” in a conversation
with the Pilot, Tuesday evening,
while placing an advertisement
to that effect in the Pilot. “The
state V. A. office gave the okay
to H. A. Sanders at Salem, on
Tuesday, and telephoned me im-
mediately.”
In answer to the question:
“Have many people visited this
new home?” Mr. Davis said that
since Sunday morning, August
20. when open house was held,
more than 2(MX) people had been
through it and had inspected the
structure with the most critical
eye. Everyone voiced their ap
preciation of its value, Mr. Da
vis asserted, and said that many
of the 2000 were certainly pros
pects with a capital “P”.
Mr. Davis has been triyng, be-
tween visitors, to draw plans for
the remaining models the com
pany expects to market as the
different models. He has been
forced to work late at nights in
order to get any work accomp
lished.
These home’s, pre-cut from the
Crag Lumber Co. redwood, are
to be sold in five models, which
may be altered to suit the in
dividual to certain extent, and
will be erected in from four to
six days, depending upon the size
of the house. The cost quoted
includes the plumbing, bathroom*
range, water heater, refrigerator
and all built-ins.
