AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



This Cottage Was 

 Shipped 400 Miles 



^ It was not only shipped by freight this distance, but on 

 arrival at nearest railroad station was carted several miles to 

 destination. ... This is a CORNELL PORTABLK 

 HOUSE, built ill sections and then bolted together on the 

 site selected. 



^ The portable house idea is one of the most practical 

 modern methods of construction, as applied to cottages, 

 garages, stores, churches, etc. Made at the factory the 

 labor cost is reduced to a minimum, waste is eliminated 

 and competent architectural supervision secured, all con- 

 tributing to lowest cost with best results. Thus the portable 

 house factory can produce a better building and deliver it to 

 the owner for a much less hgure than local contractors. 



CORNELL PORTABLE BUILDINGS 



are built complete in sections convenient for shipping and handling. These houses are constructed with the idea of per- 

 manency, having heavy joists and flooring; they are durable and will last for years, in fact as long as any well constructed 

 building. Skilled workmen are employed, the best of lumber, paints and hardware are used and the houses are complete 

 even to the most minute detail. The buildings are painted both on the interior and exterior any colors desired. ^ They 

 are erected at our factory, so everything fits and there is nothing missing. All sections being numbered, the assembling 

 of the buildi.ng is a very simple matter; anyone with a helper easily erecting one in a few hours. We pay the freight to 

 any railroad station. ^ Being so complete, so handsome and so inexpensive Cornell Portable Houses are rapidly gaining 

 in popularity, and hundreds of satisfied owners from Maine to California and from Minnesota to Florida, testify to their 

 excellence. ^ We build Portable Cottages, Garages, Stores, Churches, Children's Playhouses, Pavillions, etc., and 

 will be pleased to mail you our interesting catalog fully describing them.
