The Furniture of 
Early America 
Every piece of Leavens Colonial 
Furniture is a true example of 
the furniture of our forefathers. 
It is distinguished by its sim¬ 
ple beauty, sturdy construction, 
and adaptability. It may be 
adopted as the general motif of 
an interior, or simply as a piece 
here and there.

Colonial Furniture 
You select the examples you 
prefer and we carry out your 
wishes in the matter of finish— 
supplying you with unfinished 
pieces which may be finished or 
decorated to order. This ser¬ 
vice applies to our modern line 
as well as to the Colonial 
Furniture.

HESS WHITE 
STEEL 
Soft Water for Your Home 
N O matter how hard, how unsat¬ 
isfactory your present water 
supply is, a Permutit Water Softener 
will give you a steady flow of de¬ 
lightful, soft water from every faucet 
in your house for about 5 cents per 
day. It is entirely automatic, with 
nothing to get out of order. No 
chemicals are used and it operates on 
regular city pressure without any 
additional pumps or motors. 
Permutit material possesses the 
wonderful property of abstracting all 
hardness from water that is passed 
through it. From time to time it is 
regenerated by adding common cook¬ 
ing salt, and that is absolutely all the 
operating expense there is. You just 
dump some salt into the softener and 
let the water run through it into the 
sewer for a few minutes. No salt is 
carried into your house lines and the 
Permutit is made absolutely as fresh 
as new. 
Thousands are in daily use every¬ 
where — hundreds of doctors have 
Permutit in their homes. 
Ask for our free booklet, “Soft 
Water in Every Home." 
The softener occupies but 
little space and takes only a 
few minutes time once a 
week to maintain.

The Most House for the Least Money 
By N, Montgomery Woods (Architectural Editor of Pictorial Review) 
Refer to the above diagrams and see what useless waste may easily occur 
in construction. If 10,000 square feet of ground is to lie enclosed one man 
may do the job with 400 feet of fence (Fig. 1)—while another may foolishly 
consume 104(1 feet (Fig. 2). The same principle applies to house design. 
This is only one of 1(1 radical ideas on small house planning, described in 
Pictorial Review for I years. Thirty-five thousand Builders have pronounced 
them the most sensible, artistic and practical house designs yet offered. 
These and many new ones, never be¬ 
fore published (over 200 in all) have 
been compiled in an attractive cloth 
bound volume, now ready.
