Don't Fool Yourself 

 on the Cost of Glass 



The most iiiteresliuj,' thing to you about silass. right 

 now, is: liiat it's down in price. 



But after all is said and done, when you get out your 

 pencil and do some real figuring, the ditferenoe of even 

 a dollar a box doesn't really amount to so much on the 

 total cost of your house. 



Putting off putting up another house, because of the 

 price of glass, is (luite as reasonable as refusing to buy 

 a suit of clothes because the price of the silk thread 

 llie seams are sewed with is higher than it used to be. 



Now let's get down to the real facts and see what the 

 actual truth is. Take a iiouse, say 20() feet long and CO 

 wide. Leaving out the cost of benching and heating, 

 the cost of the glass is but Ki^j per cent of the entire 

 cost of house erected, glazed and painted complete. 



If glass were a dollar a box lower than it is now, it 

 would only make '2^^ per cent difference on tiie cost of 

 your house. 



So don't make the mistake of letting the price of glass 



be the deciding point in your building now. 



The only point that should influence your decision is: 



can you make money if you have the houte? 



If you can, then you can easily make up the possible 



difference in building costs between this year and next. 



Not only make it up, but make money besides. 



If such was not the case, do you suppose a sound- 

 sensed hard-headed buyer like F. B. Abrams, of Blue 

 Point, L. 1., would be building one of our Iron Framers 

 over fid feet wide and 4(K) long? 



Do you suppose that keen, shrewd man. Fallon, leader 

 among the florists of Koanoke, Va., would be building? 

 Do you suppose that cautious, far-seeing Yankee, Mr, 

 Charles Strout, would now be putting his carnation 

 money in one of our big houses? 



If these careful, straight thinking, sure figuring men 

 can see there is money in building now, then there is 

 money in it for you. Let's get together and figure out 

 present costs and see how it looks to you.
