House Charming, Simple
Face Brick Dealers Fit Spe
cial Exhibition Room for
Builder's Convenience
Selection of the most attractive !
eolor and texture of face brick for
the new home Is becoming as easy
as selecting a new suit or a new
Sown. Like clothing. Jewelry, and
other things where individual
choice la necessarily made from -a
display ofthe latest styles, face
brick Is now shown In all Its bean
ty of various colors and textures
by means of attractive exhibit
rooms especially fitted for the
convenience of prospective build
ers. "Dealers in face brick have de
Teloped means of showing the
brick as they appear in the wall.
Many employ good-sized portable
panels of actual brick; others
have built walls of face brick in
the exhibit rooms, and some have
installed" lighting systems where
br the effect of daylight is ob
tained at all hours.
', The wide range of distinctive
hues In which fac brick Is ot
tered starting with beautiful
creams, buffs and grays extending
through pinks, reds, maroons,
greens and browns to gun metal
blacks has given the dealer
every opportunity to make an art
istic and interesting display.
Texture in the brick, as well as
its'ecflor, plays an important part
in giving Individuality and varie
ty to house architecture, for the
smooth surfaces appeal to some,
while the more rugged brick are
preferred by others.' The latter
continue to be popular and many
charming homes are being built,
in which the texture .of the brick
aids in getting the soft color tones
so generally desired.
Study has also been given to
the color of mortars used to bind
the brick together. Since mortar
usually makes up about one-seventh
of the wall area, the color
ehosen for it plays an .important
part In the appearance of the fin
ished wall. In the exhibits, col-
J'red mortar joints are often used,
ome accentuating each brick
rhile others combine them into
the appearance of ft solid mass.
Where the exhibits are large
enough to show areas of actual
I alls, various patterns used in
onding are also Illustrated. By
laying part ot the brick with an
end exposed Instead of all with a
side out, the strength ot the wall

is increased and at the same time,
beautiful pattern-effects can be
obtained. The Running or Stretch
er, English, and Flemish, with
variations ot each, are the most
common types of bond now in
use and are the ones featured by
the displays.
All of the foregoing color in
almost every conceivable ahade,
textures of many sorts, motars
colored to harmonize, and bonds
in pleasing;1 natterns all combine
to give the prospective home
buijder a wide choice in selecting

IT'S as simple as buying a

lay a new Armstrong's Li
noleum Floor to fit your
room. First we take the
room's measurements. Then
we cut the linoleum to fit
exactly. Next our expert
layers paste this floor down
over a layer of builders'
deadening felt. They match
the seams perfectly, and
waterproof them with ce
ment. The result 13 practically a
one-piece floor no cracks,
seams or bulges. Waxed but
twice a year, Armstrong's
Linoleum Floors need but
little care . . . just a going

The past week has seen real
progress made on the big con
struction jobs which are booked
for the summer work of Salem.
The excavation work on the new
eapitol office bnlldins has been
completed. The contract was
awarded during the week to R. E.
Boatwright of Salem to install the
sewer pipe connection for the
new building. His bid was $2,430
for clay tile and $2380 for cement
tile. The general contract for the
edifice win not be awarded for
some little time yet.
Just soon as the construction
contract is let great activity will
set in on the eapitol grounds for
the job is a half million dollar
job. Large crews of workmen will
be engaged to Tush the construc
tion work through.
Excavation work on the new
telephone building on State street
has been completed. The work of
placing the footings for the sup
port of the building Is now under
way. The material excavated was
largely gravel and small boulders,
evidently the deposit from the
river centuries ago. The contrac
tor for the telephone building is
L. H. Hoffman of Portland.
Good weather has seen the
starting of many smaller resi
dences in all parts of the city.
Others are being contemplated
and made ready for tenancy. The
building of newer homes has had
something of a reactionary effect
on the market for older homes,
especially those not fully modern.
A new store room of hollow tile
construtcion is being built near the
corner of Twelfth and State, ad
joining the building of the Green
wood Dairy. Other fronts In the
block are being chaired over
from frame to face brick, vreatly
adding to the appearance 01 i
business houses in the block.
Telephone Building Permit
Puts June oh Right Side of
Ledger; Total to Date Large
Building activity in Salem emerged definitely in the past
week from all association with the "slump' of the last year.
Actually, its recovery from this condition, frequently ascrib
ed to the "presidential year bogey, occurred shortly after
the general election last November; but construction figures
didn't match up to actuality.
That was because the early months of 1928 witnessed
the tag end of the record period which had begun in 1926,
and the early months of 1929, affected by unfavorable weath
er conditions, failed to match up with the figures for corre
sponding months
But with the brief gesture of is
suing a permit for the Pacific Tel-,
ephone and Telegraph company's
new home, Building Inspector
Bushnetl , definitely put June
1929, on the right side of the led
ger in comparison to June, 1928.
Jane 1928 Exceeded
The single permit for that Item
of construction In itself amounted
to more than the June 1928 total,
which was $116,150, and raised
the total for the present month to
$149,447, with the month only
half gone.
That item also makes this
month already the heaviest since
May, 1928. While it may be ar
gued that the issuance ot one big
permit is not indicative of gen
eral activity. It is equally true that
the poVr showing made in many
of the preceding months was due
principally to a lack of any large
projects, the smaller items being
as numerous as usual.
Last month, for instance, show
ed a total only a little more than
half that of May, 1928, but more
permits were issued. One big
building may upset the general av
erage for one month, but over a
year sach inequalities tend to flat
ten out, and with the state office
building yet to come, 1929 is cer
tain to pass the 1928 total of
$1,605,643.

In these busy days, when the
housewife has numerous interests
outside the home, it is necessary
for the manufacturer of home ap
pliances to make his product as
free from mechanics! worry as
possible without interfering with
its efficiency.
The busy housewife cannot be
expected to remember to oil the i
mechanism, yet in most machines
it is necessary that this attention
be given at regular intervals to
prevent serious damage and ex
pense. Then, too, there is the in
convenience suffered by being
temporarily deprived of some
much needed household aid.
"The General Electric Refrig
erator is one that can be plugged
in the nearest convenience outlet
and actually forgotten, In so far
as the mechanics of the machine
is concerned," states S. P. Rose of
the P. E. P. Co., who is n charge
ot General Electric sales locally.
"However, the very beautiy of the
machine and the perfect service
It renders keep3 it from becoming
forgotten once it is installed la
the kitchen," he continued. "We
have had a number of inquiries
from women who have seen Gen
eral Electric Refrigerators in the
homes of their friends. Its ex
treme simplicity invariably makes
a lasting impression on them and
has been the cause of quite a
number of the machines being in
stalled in homes throughout the
t city."

Philadelphia garden has placed
