Shi-
EVERYONE likes the Ion,
columned Iront porch of
the Southern Colonial type
home, which In familiarly re
ferred to an "like Mount Ver
non." 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.

Construction started on the
big expansion program of the
J. C. Penney company here
Thursday, with workmen fenc
ing off working space on Eighth
street and building outside ele
vators for the third floor addi
tion. 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
