An Inexpensive Garage 



^ 



CORNELL PORTABLE GARAGE 

 COMPLETE COST, $280 



This attractive g-arage is one of the handsomest automobile houses located in 

 one of New York City's residential districts. Its pleasing- appearance, however, is 

 not the most interesting- feature of this garage. The low cost of the building com- 

 mends it to all, the garage costing only one-half the estimates of local builders. 



The owner of this handsome garage was not satisfied with the high prices of 

 contractors in his vicinity, so took the matter up with the -Wyckoff Lumber & Mfg. 

 Co., Ithaca, N. Y., who make portable buildings of all kinds, and found that he 

 could have a Cornell Portable Garage of any size or style shipped to him at once 

 and have it erected complete in a day for a iigure way under the estimates of the 

 local contractors. 



This garage -was shipped in sections for easy handling, was put together simply 

 by bolting the sections together, an exceedingly quick operation. Everything 

 fitted and the lumber, hardware and painting gave excellent satisfaction.

f CONCRETE POTTERY AND GARD[N fURNITURE ^ 



By RALPH C. DAVISON 



T 



\ 



I HIS book describes in detail in a 

 most practical manner the var- 

 ious methods of casting concrete 

 for ornamental and useful pur- 

 poses and covers the entire field 

 of ornamental concrete work. It tells 

 how to make all kinds of concrete vases, 

 ornamental flower pots, concrete pedes- 

 tals, concrete benches, concrete fences, 

 etc. Full practical instructions are given 

 for constructing and finishing the difler- 

 ent kinds of molds, making the wire 

 forms or frames, selecting and mixing 

 the ingredients, covering the wire fraines 

 and modeling the cement mortar into 

 form, and casting and finishing the 

 various objects. With the information 

 given in this book any handyman or 

 novice can make many useful and ornamental objects of cement 

 for the adornment of the home or garden. The author has taken for 

 granted that the reader knows nothing whatever about the material, 

 and has explained each progressive step in the various operations 

 throughout in detail. These directions have been supplemented 

 with many half-tone and line illustrations which are so clear that 

 no one can possibly misunderstand them. The amateur craftsman 

 who has been working in clay will especially appreciate the adapt- 

 ability of concrete for pottery work inasmuch as it is a cold process 

 throughout, thus doing away with the necessity of kiln firing which 

 is necessary with the former material. The information on color 

 work alone is worth many times the cost of the book inasmuch as 

 there is little known on the subject and there is a large growing de- 

 mand for this class of work. Following is a list of the chapters 

 which will give a general idea of the broad character of the work. 



I. Making Wire Forms or Frames. 

 II. Covering the Wire Frames and Mod- 

 eling the Cement Mortar into Form.

 boiuids in handsome illustrations which clearly show the unlimited 

 possibilities of ornamentation in concrete.
