Think of the Pleasure 





"BUILT THE PREMIER WAY" 



A Portable 

 Summer Cottage 





Premiers make pleasure — did you know 

 that ? 



There is no outing like the Summer Cot- 

 tage outing — it has a charm of its own. 



Premiers are portable — and practical. 

 They can be erected in a few hours — 

 but last years. 



Of course they're just as durable as a 

 permanent house, more suitable, and — 

 one-third the cost.
