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 ours. 



So we gave him names of both 

 and suggested that, uninfluenced 

 by any of us, he go and make un- 

 biased comparisons. 



Which he gladly did. Said he 

 liked the w&>- we were going to 

 stand or fall by the comparison 

 of our houses with others. 

 The last one he went to see was 

 the Beardsle.v Park house, where 

 we then met him. 



His first remark was: "Your 

 houses always look as if they had 

 Just had a shave. No rough spots. 

 The workmanship is smooth and 

 clean. Some others I have seen 

 looked like they were growing a 

 beard." 



So that is why we call the 

 Beardsley Park house, beard- 

 less." 



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 10 talk business. 



Vou liavo heard a lot of talk about valvinK or not valving 

 coils. 'Ilu'ic Is no tjilk In this case. Here are the valves. 



Itielit il'iHii to the verj- la.st t ^iiiK, eveiytliliilf Is as-it-

 room iH an essential.
