Are You Ever Going to Build? 



The Annual Building Number of HOUSE <5^ GARDEN 

 Is one of the four great Special Issues of the Year. We 

 had an idea that last year's Building Number was a good 

 one — a man wrote us that for every knotty problem he 

 met in building his home, that issue pointed out a solution. 

 However, here's a better one this year, covering its subject 

 like a blanket. There's a warm debate on the question, 

 "An Old House or a New One?"; a helpful talk on costs, 

 another that greatly simplifies planning. Then there are 

 articles — with pictures that fairly make your mouth water 

 — on lighting fixtures, hardware, rough or smooth plaster 

 walls, casement windows and how to keep a cellardry. There 

 is another article on that vital question of choosing an 

 architectural style, one on tiling for use and decoration, 

 one showing some valuable short-cuts In achieving paneled 

 effects. Professor Ogden of Cornell clears up, once for all, 

 the sewage disposal problem. The controversy over the 

 choice of a heating system is continued, and grows hotter 

 each month. But there Is space merely to begin the list of 

 good things. 



Inexpensive Homes of Individuality 

 is a superbly printed book containing 108 photographs and 

 floor plans of the best houses of moderate size built to-day, 

 giving costs and specifications. The illustrations are repro- 

 ductions in detail of interiors and exteriors, teeming with 

 suggestions for the home owner or prospective builder. 

 There is a new idea on every page. We will send you 

 this book FREE on mention of this magazine and receipt 

 of 25c for the Annual Building Number of HOUSE <&° 

 GARDEN.

UNCLE SAM SPEAKS ANOTHER GOOD WORD FOR 



"THE 

 WOOD 



ETERNAL 1 ' 



CYPRESS 



" THE 

 WOOD 



ETERNAL' 



Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, Bulletin 95, Page 44, issued June 30, 1911, says of Cypress: 



<.(. 



The properties which fit it for 

 such wide use are the freedom 

 of the wood from knots and 

 other defects . . and the long 

 period which the wood may be 

 expected to last. To this might 

 be added handsome appearance, 

 which frequently has much to 

 do with popularizing a wood." 



Further on CYPRESS, the same Government 

 Report says: "The wood contains little resin and 

 thus affords a good surface for paint, which it holds 

 well. . . . It is a popular wood where it is sub- 

 jected to dampness and heat. It shrinks, swells 

 or warps but little. . . For the parts of houses 

 exposed to the weather it serves equally well." 



Both quotations above are from Bulletin 95, (page 44) U.S. Dept. of Agr. (Forest Service), June30,1911. 



"The Money You Don't Have to Spend on Repairs is ALL PROFIT." 



When planning new improvements or repairs to old ones, just remember— "With CYPRESS you BUILD BUT ONCE."
