The Arthur Cockcroft Ransre at Northport, L. i. The Four Houses are L. & B. Construction. 



One of Uncle Sam's Boys Made a Mistake and Instead of the 

 Plans Going: to Arthur Cockcroft at Northport, L. I., 



They Went Way to Honolulu. 



|W0 MONTHS after the hoDses were up, the plaos and erection 

 instructions came back from their jaunt to the Hawaiian 

 Islands. 



None of us, in the meantime, had heard anything about their 

 CoinK astray. All we knew was that "the houses were going up 

 satisfactorily," 



If Mr. Cockcroft can put up our Iron Frame houses without the 

 aid of plans or erection instructions— it certainly speaks well for 

 the simplicity of our iron frame construction and the accuracy 

 with which the materials we furnish must be cut. fitted and drilled 

 at our factory, all ready for putting together. 



Don't know how long Mr. Cockcroft was putting the houses up. 

 but in a recent conversation with Mr. Alban Harvey of Brandy wine 

 Summit, near Philadelphia, he said that after the posts and eave 

 plates were ready, it took him only (> days to put up the complete 

 framework of the big house 72 x 500 he bought of us last year. 



To get back to Mr. Cockcroft' s houses; he had a bit of previous 

 building experience that, to use his expression, "cut his eye teeth." 



It happened with his first house— that big one at the left. When he 

 compared our estimate with another builder's, ours looked high. It 

 was higher— considerably higher. So much higher, we lost the order. 



Two years afterwards, however, when the house became "wob- 

 bly" and we were asked to strengthen and re-support the entire 

 roof, Mr. Cockcroft good uaturedly admitted that whon he bought 

 another house he would compare constructions and materials, 

 first, and price, afterwards. 



The lower priced house he bought, was worth all he paid for it. 

 He got just what he paid for. But! 



Mr. Cockcroft now says that "if fewer men cut their eye teeth 

 on just price, and more sharpened their wits on quality, many 

 growers' bank accounts would be larger." 



And it's just so in all other kinds of business: for after all, 

 business is just business— no matter what is your business. 



So when you are read.T to talk over this business of building, 

 with an eye for solidly building your business— we shall be heartily 

 glad to hear from you.
