HE RED CEDAR Shingle 
Manufacturers of the 
U. S. and Canada offer 
cash prizes of $1000 
for photographs and 
plans of the best designed all 
shingled houses submitted on or 
before November 1, 1921. 
We want you to send us pictures 
and plans which will emphasize 
the great charm and beauty of this 
typical American building ma¬ 
terial—the Red Cedar Shingle. 
The requirements of this contest 
are simple. Contestants may be 
home owners, builders, contrac¬ 
tors, lumber dealers or architects 
located in the United States or 
Canada. Intelligence in answer¬ 
ing the questions will have just 
as much bearing on winning as 
professional knowledge. 
Houses submitted to contain not 
less than five and not more than 
eight rooms with bath. 
Exterior walls and roof are both 
to be covered with shingles. 
Each photograph must be printed 
on smooth finish paper size 7x11 
or 8 x 10. Your local photo¬ 
grapher can make enlargements 
to either of these sizes. Floor 
plans may be roughly indicated 
and drawn to any convenient scale 
with dimensions of each room 
clearly indicated in ink. 
Each photograph and plan must 
bear the name of sender and street 
address of house plainly written 
in ink upon reverse side of both 
photograph and floor plan. A 
third sheet should accompany the 
photograph and plan upon which 
should be answered the questions 
indicated on the right hand col¬ 
umn of this announcement.
