' Send check or money order. This house has been designed and planned in a simple, straight forward manner, without frills or fancies. It is built of durable ma terials and should require but few repairs for years to come. Houses of this type are sound Investments and will look well for many years and they do not go out of style. These are things to consider when building or buying a house. A roof that Is not broken-up with many dips, valleys and dormers will last flfucii longer and give fewer trou bles with leaks. A house, that has a very lrergular plan is more ex pensive to build and requires more heat in winter. The exterior paint ing problem should also be borne In mind. Stained woodwork gen erally 'requires less frequent at tention and usually weathers down to pleasing tones.
