HODGSON 



Portable 



HOUSES 



Even in normal times, the Hodgson Way is the most ad- 

 vantageous way to buy a cottage, garage, playhouse or any 

 other small house. 



The Hodgson Way shows you an actual photograph of 

 the house before you buy it, with outlines of the rooms 

 and dimensions to the smallest detail. The prices are item- 

 ized: you know the exact cost of the house before it is built. 



The houses are constructed in the Hodg- 

 son factory and shipped in neat sections 

 already fitted and painted. These sections 

 can easily be put together without the aid 

 of complicated blueprints or conferences 

 with contractors. They do away with trou- 

 ble, dirt, noise, and waste. 



Buy your house the Hodgson Way. But 

 first send for a catalogue which illustrates a 

 wide variety of houses. To insure your get- 

 ting the house when you need it, we advise 

 you to send your order as early as possible. 

 By sending 25% of the cost with your order 

 we will hold it until you need it. At the same 

 time you protect yourself against rising 

 prices. Send for the catalogue to-day.

Don't Buy a New 

 Stove Before See- 

 ing This Range — 



You're probably thinking of buying 

 a new stove right now. This time, 

 see the Duplex-Alcazar before you 

 buy and learn just how good a range 

 can be. 



This range burns three fuels — Gas 

 and Wood or Coal, singly or in combination. And in coun- 

 try districts where Gas in not to be had, we make a type 

 that uses Oil and Wood or Coal. 



Better cooking results — less fuel cost — a warm kitchen in 

 winter and a cool kitchen in summer. The advantage of 

 two ranges at the cost and space of one. That's what the 

 Duplex-Alcazar offers you. 



It will pay you to see your dealer, or write to us, 

 mention whether interested in the Gas or Oil type.
