The Beardless House At Beardsley Park 



Bridgeport, Conn. 



Know why we call it a 

 "beardless house?" That's 

 a long story — but here are 

 the main points in brief. 

 A prospective customer 

 wanted to see some of our 

 houses. Wanted, also, to 

 see some that were not 

 oui-s. So we gave him 

 names of both and sug- 

 gested that uninfluenced 

 by any of us. that he go 

 and make unbiased com- 

 parisons. 



Which he gladly did. Said 

 he liked the way we were 

 going to stand or fall by 

 the comparison of our 

 houses with others. The 

 last one he went to see 

 was the Beardsley Park 

 house, where we met him. 



You havo heard a lot of talk about valvine or not vnlv- 

 ine coils. There it) no talk in this case. Here an- tlie 

 valves. 



His first remark was: 

 "Your houses always look 

 as if they had just had a 

 shave. No rough spots. 

 The w o r k ra a n s h i ]) is 

 smooth and clean. Some 

 I have seen looked like 

 they were growing a 

 beard." 



So that is why we call tlie 

 Beardsley Park house, 

 "beardless." To which let 

 us add that our friend 

 bought a Hitchings. house. 

 Bought it mind you. We 

 didn't sell it. He sold 

 himself. Or rather our 

 houses sold him on our 

 way of doing things. You 

 know we go anywhere for 

 business. 

 Or to talk business.
