FEBRUARY 19. 192S J Offering Maximum Economy In Firnt Coat I III isiIa Ml THE NATAHI.A DESIGN 6D1 ST people prefer the brick houfte mnrp than i rur rr above all other types but hesitate to consider building one through a mis- t .ken idea that they are excessively expen sive. The average man, if you ask him the difference in cost between a brick and frame house, will probably hazard a guess at from twenty-five to thirty-three and a third per cent. And nothing could be much further from the truth and not be altogether pre posterous. Under aver age conditions, con sidering varying ma terial costg and wage scales, the actual dif ference should not ex :eed five or six per cent. Recently, in Denver, a survey of small home costs proved that Ihe actual difference in the cost of a $6,500 bungalow, built of brick and of wood, of the same design throughout, was only $117. In Cleveland last year one mason contractor offered brick, frame siding, or frame shingle exteriors at a difference of only two per cent in cost. An experienced mason con tractor will keep this cost difference at not The Common Brick Manufacturer' Association, Cleveland. Ohio, can furt.iah complete drawing (or this dniga n brick construction aent upon request. This particular design, in common brick, offers, the maximum economy. It is of the square type, the cheapest of all to build, its only departure from straightaway masonry being the arched door and windows, an im proving feature of very modest expense. And with its minimum of exposed woodwork and its fire resistive roof it offers maximum firesafety and dura bility with the least possible outlay for up keep. And permanent, burned-in beauty. Both floors are ex ceptional. A large, well lighted living room with open fire place, dining room of ample size and a cheery enclosed porch reached from both, with a finely appointed kitchen, comprise the first floor. In the en trance hallway is a coat closet, and a one turn stairway leads to three fine bedrooms and bath, one a master bedroom extending com pletely across the house. To those who are not averse to the square type of home this plan offers exceptional living comforts. Leaflet BUILD HOME FIRST F mm EATUREO After All It's What's In the Walls That Counts for the Most F NT 1 CENTER CORNER BUILDS UP IScene of Big Conflagration Now Has Two Buildings, Third Started Who doesn't rememoer the hot midnight fire of a few months ago. when the big nondescript building at the corner of Front and Center streets, housing a sec ond hand establishment, went up In flames? The desolated spot vacated by those high leaping flames has al ready been reclaimed for the most part to useful business purposes, and these Infinitely more desir able than the onf to which it was formerly devoted. Carl D. Gabrielson and Jack El liott are the owners of the fire fwfpt property, and they have al ready erected two buildings and in the past week began a third. As Is often the case wnre buildings rtee after a big fire, these structures are of the most fireproof type, all of them being built of concrete. The largest, completed some time ago, houses the Oregon Wool & Mohair company. It is on Front street, at the extreme northwest of the property. 8he other build ing already completed is on the op posite corner, 245 Center street, and is occupied by Wynne Grier's tire store. The new building started last v.cek, in the same general style j as the others, will furnish quar ters for a brake testing station which will b operated by Joseph Rocque. It adjoins Wynne Grier's store on the west, and its address will be 235 Center street. The building permit listed the cost at are the contractors. Anderaon & Van Patten that it is practically impossible to penetrate both walla. This double steel wall is the same "blister" construction used in battleships, and is virtually an answer to the increasingly importunate demands of automobile clubs, civic organiza tions and the motor driving pub lic for heavy steel construction In motor cars as well as in rajlroad cars and buses demands recently expressed in a symposium collect ed by Perclval White, prominent consulting engineer. However in spite of the double strength resulting, the Victory Six retains the top lightness necessary to keep it from overturning, for the building of body and chassis one strong unit alone means the i methods employed in the Victor saving of 175 pounds. It is lighter! six is reflected in it performance. than any other car of equal: The car has an easy speed of 6f strength. Each car body Is com posed or only eight major parts, and there are from 330 to 480 fewer parts in t he ordinary body. A Xon-Tippable Pyramid Perhaps the most important ef fect of the one-piece construction desired result has been accom plished in the Victory Six without resorting to either of these two means, for the one-piece construc tion permits the elimination of body sills a saving in height of at least two nches. In addition, this union of body and chassis gives still greater safety since stress formerly trans mitted to the body sills is now ta ken by the frame, giving the strength and firmness of steel to parts formerly made of wood. The natural result ia a longer life both for the car as a whole and for the tires, as well a greater tire and gasoline mileage. Performance Proves Car's Success Success of the new constrnction "Build a Home First" is a slo gan much featured of late. It is an expedient Intended to head off if possible the automobile which s outdistancing- its older rival in the race for public favor. Thou sands of people do not care whe ther they ever own a home if they can only have a machine. Just as countless thousands more mort gage the one to buy the other. Yet buying a house and buying an automobile are in one respect very much alike. In neither case is it so much the article itself as what it brings that is desired When you buy a home you buy protection and service and com fort and enjoyment, instead of merely a house. And when yon buy an automobile you get all of these save protection, but what you are really buying is transpor tation instead of merely a ma chine. And then again there is just as great a difference. When you buy the automobile you want to know what is under the hood. What sort of an engine you are getting and what has been its past record You insist upon a standard make that has a eood resale value. It must be a real machine or you don't take it. But when you buy the house you generally take some one's word for it all. You're not so particular about what is in the walls as you were about what was under the hood. Nor about its ultimate resale value. Homes have as great a range in "price and quality as have automo biles. Aud auto sense today, in the same relation as horse sense of a quarter century ago, should dictate the purchase of homes of honestly built permanent construc tion, insuring durability and high resale values. There are good. saf sound homes of the Ford class just as there are of the Pack ard class. The early model Lin coln home was built of logs; the present day Lincoln type more often is of common brick. the comedy, ha tnt wertdl lart-j est sardine-box faet&ry an eomee to France to show how ths would ongto 16 1 raft.
