HOUSE DESIGN No. 6. 
This is our leader. The best 
seller of any house ever designed 
anywhere, by anybody, at any 
price. Why? Because it comes 
nearer filling all requirements 
than any house of its size ever 
built. It is 23 ft. wide by 33 ft. 
3 in. long. It has 7 rooms and 
bath, pantry and large front 
porch. A perfect home. 
leading Expositions. 
At the present time onr business consists in the purchase 
outright from Sheriffs’ Receivers’ and Manufacturers' Sales 
of immense stocks of general merchandise and supplies in¬ 
cluding practically every known manufactured article. 
. We have spent millions of dollars acquainting the publio 
with our wonderful mercantile institution and with the vast 
quantities of new merchandise and supplies we have for sale. 
Our greatest difficulty has been to impress the fact that 
our goods are not secend-hand; neither are they wrecked 
material, nor anything but first class, high grade goods, just 
the same as you would purchase in any mercantile house in 
the land. Our name misleads the public into the belief 
that the goods that we offer for sale are not brand new. 
For these reasons we have concluded that if we could dis¬ 
cover a name broad enough and general enough to correct 
these false impressions, we would willingly pay the sum of 
$5,000 See if you can suggest right name? Address your reply

to Build this Bam. 
r This is one of the famous Joist Frame Barns, 
serviceable barn ever designed or built. This design of barn can be 
built at a price very much lower, and has space that is more available, 
than any other style. We can supply this barn in six differnt sizes, all 
of the same width, 36 feet. Our quotation here is for a barn 36 feet 
wide by 48 feet long and 18 feet high. The roof constructiod is of the 
self supporting style, thus doing away with all posts in the hay loft. 
There are 6 windows on each side, 3 in each end and 2 in the gables, so 
the barn is thoroughly ventilated and lighted. Our price cover all the 
lumber, mill work, hardware, nails and roof covering to complete barn.

What

the Chicago ZZou.se Wrccliiug Co.’s Customers Say: 
Chicago House Wrecking Co., Chicago, Ill. - 
Gentlemen:—I will move in the house next 
week, as it will be all completed and makes a fine 
house. I will let you know what the house cost me 
completed, all material and labor as 1 had it built 
by the day. and will give you the exact figures 
from the contractor that bid on the house, also the 
prices from the local lumber dealers on a copy of 
your bill of material for the lumber, not including 
tfie hardware, nails, eaves, window weights, and 
you will see that I saved about 32 per cent., and 
have a better house than I would have by contract. 
There have been a great many of the builders and 
business men from Bristol to see the house, and all 
sayitisO. K. They never heard of the like of a house 
coming complete'in one car, and I think you will 
have lots of business from this section. It is the only 
house in this section that is finished in Red Oak, 
and it looks better than Ash. Hoping you will 
look after the cabinet and rush It, I remain, 
yours truly, 
(Signed) W. B. CONLON.
