HODGSON 



Portable 



HOUSES 



With the approach of Spring you will want to build that house you have 

 had in mind, and you will want to build it without having to go through 

 the bothersome preliminary details that usually accompany building. 

 The Hodgson Way avoids all this bother and trouble. 



First, send for the Hodgson Catalogue. It is replete with photographs 

 and descriptions of all kinds of bungalows, cottages, garages, play houses, 

 poultry houses, and many other types. You are offered a choice of many 

 sizes and styles, one or more of which will harmonize with the architectural 



motif of your house or exactly conform to your 



ideas of what you need. 



When you have made your selection, send 

 in your order, and the house already built, 

 fitted and painted, will be shipped to you in 

 neat, compact sections that can be erected by 

 one or two inexperienced men in a day or 

 two. 



If you do not wish to use the house immed- 

 iately, we suggest that you send in your order 

 now, and insure prompt delivery when you 

 are ready to have the house put up. 



To avoid disappointment and future delay 

 we suggest that you write for the Hodgson cat- 

 alogue right away.

One of the first books about fighting in 

 the air is 



CAVALRY OF THE CLOUDS 



Captain Bott tells of the life of the flying 

 officer in France simply and with perfect 

 truth. Here is the beginning of the great 

 tradition and noble chivalry of the air. 



P. S. This, and McConnell's vivid "Flying for France" 

 are the beginning of the great literature of the air.
