The Wide House— Its Advantages 



There's nothing like actual comparison for convincement. so welnade this sketch showing the 40-foot 

 iron frame house (A) built right over the two narrow houses (BB) for comparison in glass area^-the 

 amount of shade — and the air space. The large house takes ^xactly the same amount of roof as 

 the smaller houses — you cut out the extra ridge and gutter and the shade they cast — it actually costs 

 less to erect because it takes much less framing. The large house has 26 per cent more air space 

 that acts as a regular insulation against sudden changes. It's a cooler house in summer, more even 

 temperature in winter. Ventilation is evenly distributed — lees likelihood of mildew — last, but the 

 hinging point of the whole proposition — it takes 15 per cent to 20 per cent less fuel — one man claims 

 25 per cent. If you are going to build next spring get the thing lined up now — there's a tremendous 

 advantage in being thoroughly ready — sometimes a price advantage, too. *■
