when they decide upon building a home. A great deal of time
and study has been spent on each design, and every set of plans
will be found complete and accurate in all details, no labor
having been spared where any small advantage could be gained.
Many people are surprised that we can furnish blue prints and
specifications of such up-to-date houses at the price for which
we advertise them, and we could not were it not for the fact
