en others of your own, write to the

W HEN the plumber says “It can’t be done” and the 
carpenter grows strangely unresponsive, just give us 
a chance to see what we can do. If there’s a way to get 
what you want, we’ll know about it. 
O R if you’ve come to the worst place of all, where you 
haven’t any ideas, practical or impractical, and the 
house seems to need them worse than bricks and mortar— 
then let us suggest some. We’ve been at this sort of thing 
so long! And we’ve seen so many people through the 
delightful, discouraging, exciting, all-absorbing days of 
building time! 
It may save you money to have your ques¬ 
tions answered promptly. It will certainly 
save you trouble. The advantage the expert 
has over the amateur is that he can do things 
more easily. Address your questions to the
