Why Not Have in Your New Home the 
Conveniences and Comforts a Brunswick Plant Can Bring? 
A Brunswick Refrigerating Plant provides a pure, dry, germless atmosphere in which 
your food supplies will always keep sweet. Your refrigerators will be 10 degrees colder 
than ever before and the temperatures constant. 
In the new home get rid, once for all, of the inconvenience, the smell, the nuisance, the 
positive dangers to health of the ice-cooled refrigerator, with its damp, germ-laden air from 
melting ice. 
A Brunswick Plant makes you entirely independent of the ice crop and of the ice man, 
yet you can always have for your table use pure ice, made in your own home by the same 
machine which cools your refrigerators. 
With all the comforts and conveniences a Brunswick Plant brings, it does not require 
skilled labor to run it — just a few minutes of your man’s time each day. The machine 
occupies but small space; it can be located in the cellar or in an out-building. 
Ask your architect. He will tell you that there is just as much real need for a Brunswick 
Plant as for a heating system, and will recommend it for its simplicity and economy. He 
will probably tell you of Brunswick Plants he has had installed—-there are over 1,500 in use; 
some in the finest houses in the country. Your plant would be designed especially for your 
home, and we guarantee your satisfaction.

Answer — The entire color scheme of 
your walls being in browns and tans, your 
rooms ought to be very harmonious. Crin¬ 
kled repp in old blue and gold I should 
suggest for the cushions in your willow 
chairs, and also for portieres, and for any 
upholstered pieces of furniture you may 
have. 
You are quite right in thinking that the 
smaller objects in a room—pictures, vases, 
lamps, overdraperies, etc. — should give the 
contrasting note of color. I therefore 
suggest old blue for the living-room, old 
blue and mulberry for the dining-room, 
and in the hall you could successfully in¬ 
troduce some old pieces of copper. 
Question — We are building a home of 
English architecture, the first floor being 
built of tapestry brick and the upper por¬ 
tion of stucco and half-timbers. The 
house has a center hall with living-room 
and dining-room opening on either side. 
The living-room measures 15 by 24J/2 
feet, and has a sun-porch at the far end, 
connected by French doors. The mantel 
breast in the center of the south wall 
measures 7 feet, and we have been con¬ 
sidering a brick mantel of the same mate¬ 
rial as the house. The fireplace is flanked 
by four-foot bookcases, above which are 
casement windows. The finish is to be 
mahogany and the room is beamed. 
The hall and dining-room are to be fin¬ 
ished in Early English. The latter room 
is also to have a beamed ceiling and panel 
strips. The size of the room is to be 13 
by 18 feet, with a bay-window at the end, 
in which the china-case is to be placed. 
The hall and dining-room are also to be 
connected by French doors. 
We should like to select suitable color 
schemes for these rooms. We prefer 
green for the dining-room, and are con¬ 
sidering burlap for the wall. 
We think that brown would be suitable 
for the hall, but are quite undecided about 
the living-room. Do you think green 
would also be preferable in this room, or 
would you furnish with a brown rug and 
tan wall? 
Would it be satisfactory to mix white 
and ecrue curtains in these rooms, or 
should they be of uniform color? Also, 
what style of curtains should be used in 
the French doors? The dining-room, by 
the way, has an east and north exposure, 
while the living-room is exposed to the 
east and south. 
Answer — Burlap collects the dust and 
fades badly, and in place of it I would sug¬ 
gest that you use in your dining-room a 
paper of this kind. Java canvas, this is 
called, and is to my mind much handsomer 
and, at the same time, much less expen¬ 
sive than burlap ($1.10 per roll of eight 
yards). 
I should suggest that you make the liv¬ 
ing-room brown, and use a mixed brown 
and green for the hall. This will carry 
one color into the other harmoniously.
