Isn’t it a pleasure to visit where hospitality 
always finds an extra bed for the unexpected 
guest? No matter how small the home there is 
that hearty welcome and a place to rest. And 
you never feel that you are inconveniencing 
anyone. 
In thousands of homes this alwavs ready hospi¬ 
tality is made easy and delightful by a happy 
choice of Northfield upholstered furniture for 
the living room, or perhaps the sun room. 
Every home needs a davenport. Deep cushions, 
a soft yielding back, plenty of room to lounge in 
while the friendly talk goes round. A really 
good davenport, a Northfield, adds wonderfully 
to the hominess of any room. 
And this Northfield davenport solves the prob¬ 
lem of the hospitality that is never strained. 
For folded away in its depths, completely hidden, 
is a full size bed, always ready for use, quickly 
returned to its place, never discovered by the 
casual caller. 
Your furniture dealer invites your inspection of 
Northfield suites. There are finely styled period 
designs, roomy overstulfed patterns and for the 
sun room those in fibre are especially delightful. 
Ask to see them all.

A number of such model houses could 
be seen recently at the Industrial Show 
at Munich, They numbered about a 
dozen, each house having been built by a 
difierent firm and being of a different 
design, among them also several wooden 
houses. Strange to say, in Germany a 
strong prejudice has so far existed against 
wooden buildings while thousands of 
complete wooden houses have been ex¬ 
ported for years past from Germany to 
other countries. The cottages erected at 
the Show convinced visitors that wooden 
houses are just as comely in appearance 
and just as good as brick buildings, and 
that they may even be preferred in some 
respects. Aside from regular bricks, how¬ 
ever, all sorts of substitutes like artificial 
stone, bricks of concrete and slags, etc., 
were used, while the outer appearance 
varied from the natural color of wood to 
the most variegated colors. 
With some modifications these simple plans for a 
chalet in the woods might be used in America. An 
upstairs bathroom, of course, would have to be provided
