This Is one of the least expensive
of homes to build, when the number

commodate a family of six and even
more, and yet the size Is only 30 by
36 feet. All of the bedrooms are of
llverage size, while the first floor
rooms are larger than usually is found
in homes of this character.
The economy In construction and
the large number of rooms in the
honse are secured through the man­
ner In which the house is designed.
A study of the floor plans will show
that the walls all are straight—there
are no “jogs” in them. Every corner
requires extra materials and extra
labor, so to get the most for the least
cost straight walls are Included.
Prospective home builders can look
at a great many house designs and not
