Thi> little rluit lias to do witli iiioney-saviiiM' 

 t'oresi^lit. To have foresight, you must 

 iiiiaffiiif what is going to happen. You must 

 imagine, for e.\ample, how things will ))e when 

 you have ten times as many houses. 



How you will heat them, and work them. 



The locatinii of your pnwei- plant and first 

 house is going to govei'n everything you dn 

 aftei'wards. 



( )f roui'se. the nearer to a railioad. the hcttri' 

 for your i-oal su|)ply. 



.\ switch I'ight to your powei' house and an 

 elevated ti-esth' is the thing. 

 Then you can dump the coal i'ight into a sloping- 

 sided l)in and always have youi- coal to the fmut 

 (if the bin, ready to shovel. 



Wiien you can. locate your house so as to de 

 as little future gi'adiiig as i)ossihle. 



Such woi-k 1 uns up intn money fast. 



The present day layouts seem to be favoring 

 what is called a ""Balanced Plan." 

 The i)ower plant is placed in the center, and 

 separate, passage-connected houses built on 

 eithei- sidf. 



Such a laynut means an economically balanced 

 distriiiutioii of heat It etiualizes the distance 

 in wni'king the houses. Hy building each house 

 the same size you can work them as units, 

 knovving e.xactly what it costs to crop each, aii(r 

 api)ro.\iniately what crop to e.xpect. The adding 

 of a house means only that much coal and help. 

 Vnu know exactly how t(i figure, and what to 

 eiUillt on. 



Aftei- you have definitely settled (ni your plan of 

 develo|)ment. stick to it. 



Don't let every good intentioned givei- of free 

 advice change yniii' mind. 



But first be sure youi plan is right. Our 

 years of experience in such matters is always at 

 yeui- disjxi.sal. 



It's a part of nur exi)ert service we ai'e g]a<l 

 to offer vnu.
