A Story Outline of Evolution 



We approach the house. It is made of vitrified bricks. 

 They are cut and moulded In the same shapes as were those 

 of the ancient Babylonians thousands of years ago. They 

 are bound together with mortar made of sand and cement. 

 Experience has taught the builders that by baking the clay

 the shingle or clapboard roofs of our grandfathers, the tin 

 and tile roofs of more recent years, because asbestos Is

 artistically arranged thus providing for more light and 

 ventilation. The architecture and landscaping is a design of 

 beauty. The house thus constructed is both beautiful and 

 durable, and its appearance offers a suggestion of happiness 

 and comfort. It is an adaptation and modification of the 

 building ideas that have been developed throughout the ages 

 of our civilization.
