for the Price of Frame 
At last you can build a beautiful, everlast¬ 
ing Brick home for the price of less attrac¬ 
tive and less endurable construction. Anew 
development in brick laying has made this possible. 
This is known as the Ideal Brick Hollow 
Wall. The brick are laid on edge into walls 
of 8-in., 12-in. and 16-in. thicknesses. Any 
mason can lay this wall using standard size 
brick. All over the country Ideal Wall 
homes are being built. 
The home with Ideal Walls has all the 
advantages of solid brick wall homes: The 
slow depreciation which conserves its high 
sales value even in after years; the warmth 
in winter and the coolness in summer; the 
low insurance rates with less up-keep cost, 
and many other features, which amount to 
big savings for the owner of the Brick Home. 
The 8-inch Ideal Brick Hollow 
Wall is just as substantial as it 
is attractive
