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.

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

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

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.
