HODGSON 
Portable 
HOUSES 
T he thoughts of a new cottage, garage or playhouse for the children give you 
a pleasant thrill. But the thought of plans, builders’ bills, infinite little 
worries and expenses soon put a damper on your enthusiasm. 
Now, if you want to know the exact cost of your building; if you want to be 
sure of no “extras” and no worries; if you want to see a photograph as it will 
look—all before you are obligated in the least—do this: Gel a Hodgson Catalog. 
In it you will find photographs, plans and prices of portable cottages, garages, playhouses, 
bungalows, screen houses, tent houses, chicken houses and lots of other kinds of houses. Pick out 
the one that suits in price and proportion. Then order. By paying 25% of the price of your 
house we will prepare and hold it until wanted. This saves you money and insures you prompt 
delivery.
