ATTRIBUTES OF A HOUSE IN THE 

 COUNTRY 



THE PROBLEM of selecting a home is always 

 a serious one. Success in choosing a satis- 

 factory location and home in the country calls for 

 careful study and good judgment throughout 

 the procedure. In urban centers many services 

 are taken for granted, such as water supply, 

 sewerage, public utility connections and delivery 

 systems. The establishment of a home in the 

 country calls for the consideration of all these 

 services. Some may not be available and prep- 

 arations must be made to do without them or 

 to set up such procedures as will take care of 

 the family's needs on the basis of the individual 

 home. 



The Rural Home. To give the elements of 

 satisfactory living under modest circumstances, 

 the country home should be so located and 

 serviced as to give the maximum of comfort 

 and convenience for the money invested. The 

 location, type of construction and interior 

 arrangement of the home are important factors 

 in attaining these objectives.
