The Semi-Curvi- 
linear Construction 
from same point of 
view. 
Semi-Curvilinear Construction 
IT'S a bit hard to meet in the one construction the re- 
quirements of the man who likes the curved eave: 
and yet for one reason or another prefers side 
ventilation to wall vents. 
Seemingly they are an impossible combination, and still 
preserve the architectural beauty so desirable. 
The only thing to do is compromise matters. 
And so we give an eave curve swing similar to the 
curvilinear roof and then carry the bars up straight to 
the ridge after the manner of the Standard Curved Eave. 
Like the curvilinear house, the gutter is at bottom of 
the curved portion and the ventilation sash are hinged 
to it. This gives to you higher sides, which you will 
greatly welcome; also the ample over tench ventilation, 
which some of you feel has certain advantages. 
We call it the Semi-Curvilinear Construction. Of 
course, we will gladly build for you the Standard Curved 
Eave house. We have no preference; what we seek is 
satisfaction for all concerned. 
And now this brings us to our catalog. It's a new one, 
just from the press. Quite the best thing we have done 
yet. Beautiful frontispiece in five colors. Rest in two 
colors. Full of meaty facts and well nigh a hundred 
illustrations. It is so costly that we are mailing it only 
to those sending a request. Do you want one?
