Below we print an excerpt from the company's hiforniHtif.il service, which should be of interest to all who contemplate fixing up their old houses: Old homes have for many persons ... . a marm wnoiiy scktnr in a new dining." It t- the -arky found oniv n ft. dwelling through which tu hr,i, t k.. ...a t CtkiV.tSf VIN or more of people and been an intimate part of their joys and sorrows. For this reason many persons are reluctant to give up the old home for a new one. Modern home de signer , though, appreciative of this indefinable appeal that clings to old homes, have devised ways of trans forming old homes Into beautiful, modern dwellings and yet retaining in them that which is an essential part of their treasured charm. These old homes can be given a new roof, new siding, additional rooms, an attractive porch and other features which improve their - ap pearance and vsiue without detract ing from the qualities which may en dear them to the owners. Extensive improvements can be made inside and out without loss of tbe lived-in feeling of the old home. ' This is true especially if tbe old home is of wood. Because of the flexibility of this kind of construc tion any desired change in various parts, of the house may be " made without disturbing other parts. And the new may be joined to the old so rmoothly than when the whole is painted there will be no indication of where the change was made.
