Our Builders at Work on a Rustic Summer House 
Rustic Building 
Is both a science and an art. It has become an important aid to landscape art. We have 
the most competent set of artistic builders in the country, and shall be pleased to carry out 
designs furnished, or to submit new ones of our own. 
In the construction of this work we use material of lasting qualities, consisting of cedar, 
birch, apple, willow, laurel roots, vines, etc., and other woods of artistic appearance. We 
have always on hand Summer Houses, Well Covers, Bridges, Settees, Vases, Pagodas, etc., 
which can always be placed to advantage and add to the beauty of any landscape. 
Nothing can be more pleasing to the educated eye and the town-tired limbs than the sight 
of one of our Rustic Summer Houses, or the luxurious comfort of one of our easy Settees.
