 success. It is at Berkeley Heights, about 500 

 feet above sea level, in a beautiful country with 

 woodland and river, yet only 26 miles from 

 New York. There are plenty of such places. 



"I am proud of my bungalow and will be 

 pleased to show it to anyone, as a type of Ameri-

Except in lumber districts wooden houses are 

 becoming more expensive annually and are be- 

 ing superseded by houses built of concrete blocks. 

 These are fully as cheap now as frame or brick 

 houses and can more easily be made cold and 

 vermin proof. 



iThen there are the portable houses costing 

 from $300 for four rooms, upward. These are 

 desirable where land is taken on a short lease or 

 for experiment, although they can be adapted 

 for year round use at a moderate additional 

 cost. These different types of dwellings show 

 that the cost of building a home need not deter 

 anyone really anxious to get back to the land for 

 a living.
