Many people who would build a houte of this type hesi tate because of the feeling that each a home ia excessively costly. This need not be true. This house is a six-room home ' of average size, so designed that the columns and the front porch look well, despite the fact that the house is less than 40 feet Ion. Because the roof of the main house covers the porch, because the house is built of wood, be cause the garage is in the base ment, and because the house is perfect rectangle its construc tion cost is quite reasonable. Very beautifully finished, this house should not exceed $10,000.

The first plase of the construc tion program will not affect the retail operation of the Penney company other than closing the Eighth street entrance and con centrating all stocks in the base ment, main, mezzanine and sec ond floors, was the word of Sid Elliot, manager. The expansion program will involve an expenditure of more than $23,000 when the work is enUrely completed. E. B. Bros- terhous is the local contractor. The work will include the addi tion of an entire full size floor above the present building, and extensive remodeling and mod ernization of the present floors. Work on the present floors will not be started until the new floor is completed. At that time several departments will be moved to the new unit, although the final use ot the new floor will be for warehouse and com pany office space. "We'll be merchandising great guns wnue the work is going on," Elliot said. "All the sDrine and summer merchandise we naa previously contracted is coming in on schedule. With all the stock from our pent- nouse warehouse now moved in to the regular floors . . . well, we'll Just have to keep selling it oui, mat s au." li IS A ton of water Hllwrl., your house for little more than the price of a postage stamp.
