SEVENTEENTH CENTURY COLONIAL 
77«s sr.y/e o /architecture was developed by the early settlers 
of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Seventeenth Century 
Colonial is another of the 16 architectural styles illustrated 
and discussed in “ Good Houses, ” a book for home-builders 
interested in good design, efficient planning and thorough 
construction. “Good Houses" interprets the architectural 
styles on which American building tradition rests, and 
which are adaptable to wood construction today. Send for

H OW OFTEN you have seen a large 
cased opening with just such un¬ 
sightly wall cracks as this. The painter 
and paper-hanger strive to repair the 
damage but the cracks persistently 
reappear. Such an annoying disappoint¬ 
ment to the woman who has been looking 
forward to a perfect home. 
Paint and wall paper cannot cover up 
construction defects in the house frame 
nor can they strengthen weak, over¬ 
worked framing. 
Below is shown a correct method of 
framing around an inside opening. Note 
the double door studs and double header 
onedge, the trussing with efficient block¬ 
ing. Such constructionwaslackinginthe 
faulty house above. 
This is one of the many points of house 
construction discussed in detail in the 
Weyerhaeuser book, “The High Cost of 
Cheap Construction,” sent free on re¬ 
quest. 
How to Avoid Paying 
Dearly for Experience 
in Building a Home 
T HE MOST profitable thing 
every young couple about 
to build their first home can do 
is to look into the disappoint¬ 
ments and failures of their 
friends’ “first homes”—digging 
out the reasons for constant re¬ 
pairs, excessive heating costs, 
leaky roofs, damp basements, 
sagging floors, balky windows 
and the hundred other annoy¬ 
ing and costly house ills. 
The result will be better 
homes. Better construction 
practices will be demanded. 
Less time will be spent search¬ 
ing for a contractor who will do 
the job for a little less; more 
time in finding the right kind of 
contractor. 
The old theory that a person 
can only get house-building ex¬ 
perience through paying dearly 
for it has been exploded. Every¬ 
where there are competent con¬ 
tractors and workmen using 
their years of experience to 
build sound houses. So we say, 
go to a legitimate contractor— 
one who takes pride in his craft 
and builds only good houses 
according to right construction 
practices. 
I N the long run it more than 
pays the home-builder to 
search out a legitimate contrac¬ 
tor—the man who knows and who 
refuses to skimp in the hidden 
places—the man who will de¬ 
liver a good job at a fair profit. 
You will find these men more 
and more using lumber of the 
Weyerhaeuser standard of qual¬ 
ity—trade-marked with the 
manufacturer’s pledge of per¬ 
sonal responsibility. 
Weyerhaeuser lumber for 
house-building is manufactured 
in suitable, economical species, 
grades and sizes, and put 
through a seasoning process 
that means easier working and 
less wastage in addition to a 
prolonged period of service. 
I 
N “The High Cost of Cheap Con¬ 
struction,” a book which will be 
mailed you on request, you will find 
the essentials of good construction 
necessary to successful house build¬ 
ing; the basis for judging the manner 
in which your house is built; and the 
means of making the lumber you use 
in the construction of your house of 
even greater service. This book will 
take the place of costly house-build¬ 
ing experience. Send for it now. Also 
ask for “Good Houses.” 
Weyerhaeuser Forest Products 
are distributed through the estab¬ 
lished trade channels (to contrac¬ 
tors and home-builders through 
the retail lumber yards) by the 
Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, Spo¬ 
kane, Washington, with branch of¬ 
fices and representatives throughout 
the country. 
E ACH year you will find an increasing 
i number of retail lumber dealers recom¬ 
mending Weyerhaeuser lumber for house¬ 
building — men who know the relation to 
correct building p radii ce of properly dried 
lumber , of uniform grades and of the kinds 
best suited to your needs.
