THESE books offer to architects, builders, 

 homeseekers and investors by far the 

 most complete collection of plans ever 

 brought out, while the price is so low as to 

 place them within the reach of all who have 

 an interest in the building of homes. Tin- 

 designs are compiled with a view to represent- 

 ing all grades of cost, from the simplest types 

 of cottages, as illustrated in the first series, to 

 the comparatively elaborate structures reaching 

 to $10,000 or more, in cost, treated in the 

 fourth series, so that examples are given cover- 

 ing nearly every requirement, with respect to 

 cost, in inexpensive homes.
