What’s the Difference Between a 
Cellar and a Basement? 
Attractive Appearance 
Fenestra Basement Windows 
make a decided improvement in 
the appearance of the lower part of 
the house. Thousands of modern 
homes already have Fenestra Base¬ 
ment Windows; look for them, 
in homes of every type and size 
where architectural detail is of 
the best. 
Low Cost 
You’d be willing, would you not, 
to pay considerably more for a 
real basement than for a cellar in 
your home? But that’s not neces¬ 
sary. With all of their manifest 
advantages, Fenestra Basement 
Windows cost very little more 
than ordinary wood windows. 
Your contractor knows that they 
cost less to install. 
Dealers Supply Them 
Fenestra Basement Windows are 
stocked and sold by lumber and 
building supply dealers every¬ 
where, and large stocks are ware¬ 
housed throughout the country. 
This means that the home-builder 
who decides that he wants Fenes¬ 
tra Basement Windows can get 
them promptly.

"The Old Fashioned Cellar” 
Easy Operation 
Who hasn’t been annoyed by 
warped, sticking cellar windows— 
equally hard to open and to close? 
Wood sash is bound to warp, swell, 
and shrink under the influence of 
weather; but the solid steel of 
Fenestra Basement Windows guar¬ 
antees that they will always operate 
easily. 
Cjreater Protection 
The wood sash windows of the 
"cellar” can easily be forced from 
the outside; but Fenestra Base¬ 
ment Windows are practically 
proof against the burglar’s 
"jimmy”. More than that, their 
steel sections are fire-proof, as steel 
always is, and also weather-tight. 
Long Life 
Fenestra Basement Windows can¬ 
not rot or decay. They cannot 
be split or splintered when coal 
or other material is put through 
them.

DAYLIQHT—plenty of natural LIGHT—that’s 
the greatest and most valuable difference. 
"Cellar” is the old-fashioned word for the space beneath a house. That 
space, primarily intended for storage, has always had broader potential 
usefulness. But if you recall the dim, shadowy, ill-ventilated, and un¬ 
homelike under-spaces of some houses you have seen, you know that 
they have cellars—merely cellars. 
Modern houses have "basements”—the right term for the accessible, 
homelike, lower-workroom; daylighted and made cheerful by Fenestra 
Basement Windows—the windows with large panes of glass framed in 
solid steel sash. They admit 80 percent more daylight; they are easier to 
operate than wood windows, provide greater protection; have longer 
life, look better—and their cost is low.
