REVERSED FLOOR PLANS The lot on wh'ch you plan to erect an "Honor Bilt" modern home may face such a direction that the rooms you want the most sunlight in will be on the wrong side. You can overcome this objection by taking advantage of our reversed floor plan arrangement on many of our "Honor Bilt" Homes. In other words, if you wish to build the house you select with the main rooms transposed, as illustrated in the plan of The Osborn, be sure to mark "REVERSED" after the name or number of the house when sending your order. This will enable us to change some few pieces of mate- rial so they will fit when the house is built in a reversed position. If the architectural plans permit a reverse floor plan arrangement it is mentioned in the description of the houses on the following pages.

Weren't you im- pressed with the orderly way with which all beams were swung into place — no con- fusion — no cutting? This careful cutting and fitting of material before it is delivered on the job, whether it be j steel or wood, not only saves the cost of skilled labor, but makes for stronger and more solid construction. The use of the most modern, up-to-the-minute machinery for the cutting and fitting, makes it possible for this work to be more accurately and economically done at the factory. "Honor Bilt" Ready-Cut Homes are built on these same money saving, skyscraper con- struction principles. Here are a few interesting facts and illustrations pertaining to "Honor Bilt" Homes. Consider them very carefully. Real "Honor Bilt" Ready-Cut Houses We furnish, already cut and fitted, with your "Honor Bilt" Modern Home all of the material we have found by actual experience and scientific test can be cut more economically by big power-driven machines in our factory than it can be cut by hand on the job. Before you buy a Ready-Cut House, FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH OF THE MATERIAL is cut and fitted. Here is what we guarantee to furnish already cut and fitted or already built for our machine made ready- cut houses: Framing Already Cut Basement Posts Porch Posts Girders Wall Plates Joists Studding All Treads All Risers Balusters Railing Plates Rafters Purlins Brackets Porch and Stair Stringers (Rough Horses) Braces Trusses Jambs Casing Stool Medicine Case Cupboard Stops Seat Material Apron Ironing Boards Breakfast Alcoves Trim Already Cut Stair Stringer Boards Also Housed Already Built China Closet Colonnades Door and Window Frames Cut and Fitted Doors Mortised for Locks We lurnish our girders cut and fitted for built-up construction. Any architect or practical contractor will tell you that the built-up girder is ALMOST TWICE- AS STRONG AS THE SOLID ONE. You Take No Chances on Quantity or Grades Order your home direct from this book. Look over the many designs we illustrate and describe. ^ Note our low prices. Please remember that at the prices quoted we agree to furnish ALL OF THE MATERIAL, includ- ing cellar sash and frames, with the exception of cement, brick and plaster. You will not have to buy any extras. Remember you get complete working plans, specifications and bill of material without charge (see pages 17 to 19). Our binding guarantee protects you and insures plenty of material to build your home complete. Wherever you decide to purchase a house insist that the bill includes everything we guarantee to furnish, including the painting material (we furnish three coats for outside work), the hardware, the building paper, the sash weights, eaves trough and down spout. Then, before you hand over your hard earned money, BE SURE OF THE RESPON- SIBILITY OF THE CONCERN with which you are going to deal. Be sure that you can get your money back if you want it, in case the materials do not come up to your expectations. Page 8 599 SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. AMI Frame Material Already Cut and Fitted ! "Honor Bilt" Modern Homes Are Easy to Build Every Piece Cut and Fitted Ready for Its Place The illustrations on this page show, better than words can tell, exactly how we make it easy for you to save a great deal on the con- struction cost of your new home. For actual saving, see pages 10 and 11. Here is the most difficult part of the entire undertaking reduced to such a simple proposition that you only need a hammer and nails to put up the framework of your house. Every piece of Ready -Cut lumber required to build the complete house is numbered. As the smallest pieces are bundled and marked no time will be lost in sorting. Every number corresponds with the number shown on the plans which we furnish. Important Facts About Lumber We do not handle inferior types of lumber. The lumber we furnish for our "Honor Bilt" Modern Homes is all bright and new — fine dry yellow pine, the strongest lumber for fram- ing; cypress for outside finish, the wood that lasts for centuries; oak, birch or yellow pine, as specified, of selected clear grades for interior finish. If we say we give you No. 1 quality yellow pine, YOU ARE GOING TO GET No. 1 QUALITY. Our object in selling you an "Honor Bilt" Modern Home is to give you the kind of material that will prove to be A LITTLE BETTER THAN YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPECT! Please don't lose sight of the fact that the price is not the only consideration when you select a house. The quality must be there, too. There must be enough material to build it com- plete according to our plans. It must be de- signed with a view to comfort and convenience as well as economy. It must be well lighted, well ventilated and provision must be made for safe and satisfactory heating. All of these things must be taken into account if you are going to be permanently satisfied with your purchase, AND WE GUARANTEE TO SAT- ISFY YOU PERFECTLY WHEN YOU BUY AN "HONOR BILT" HOME. Read our guarantee on the back cover of this book. Here Is Proof of Your Saving Do you want to know what saving in labor you can make by the "Honor Bilt" Already Cut System? A test made on August 2, 1921, showed a saving of 40 per cent or 231 hours on a four- room house. All facts and figures with illus- trations are given on pages 10 and 11. With each house we furnish a booklet of simple directions. OurHSDSrfiitt Ready Cut System, Sure Wai| to Reduce Building Costs All sets of window and door trim of this design are cut to exact size.

Actual thick- ness of butts Cut a Window and Frame in Two What Do You Find? The outside casings are lf/g inches thick and the sills of our window and sash frames made of red cypress, the very best wood for the purpose. The frames are of high grade, practically clear lumber. Frames are cut to fit exact size of the window for which they are intended. The sills are leakproof, an exclusive feature of "Honor Bilt" homes. Red cypress is a much more costly lumber than is generally used for this purpose, but "Honor Bilt" specifications always calls for the best. Hence red cypress for our frames. The glass for all windows over 24x26 inches is of double strength; nearly twice as thick as the ordinary glass. Cut Up a Portion of an "Honor Bilt" Floor What Do You Find? The illustration sliows you the actual thickness of the subflooring and finished flooring used in our "Honor Bilt" Modern Homes. You can easily see this makes solid, strong, durable and warm floors. Notice the extra heavy building paper between the subflooring and the finished flooring. No chance for drafts to circulate through here. When considering the purchase of any house, investigate the question closely and insist on double floors. They will reduce heat bills and protect your health. Have you ever noticed how the flooring yields in some of the houses you have visited? This is be- cause there is no subfloor- ing. You are never in doubt when you buy ^00^ an "1 lonor Bilt" ^mR£ house. Look Into the Remotest Corner of ai] "Honor Bilt" House Look between the walls, underneath the floors or beneath the shingles. Look anywhere, for that matter. You will always find that an "Honor Bilt" house is genuine through and through. Furthermore, you will always find that the quality specified in an "Honor Bilt" house is always best suited to the purpose for which it is intended. For example, inspect the kind and grade of window and sash frames. 5?

Already Cut lumber shipped from this stock direct to you. A trip through our Sash and Door Plant, which 1 covers nearly twenty acres, reveals the secret of our low prices, our excellent service and the high quality of this factory's products. 1 Here in these lumber storage warehouses you would find from twenty to thirty million feet of the choicest lumber for manufacturing high grade mill- work and Ready Cut houses. Millions of Feet In the storage warehouses illus- trated above you would find genuine White Pine in various thicknesses and lengths, some of the boards measuring as much as 24 inches in width, that was grown in the mountains of California. You would see vast quantities of high grade Oak, grown in the forests of Kentucky; millions of feet of choicest Yellow Pine from the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, and Birch from northern Wisconsin. In our yards would be found millions of feet of the famous Louisiana Red Cypress, which is used exclusively by us for exterior construction, such as outside casings, siding, etc., a wood that is generally too high priced for this purpose. Of all the lumber mentioned. Cypress is the most weather resisting of them all. King TuVs tomb, recently unearthed, revealed articles made of cypress that are still in good condition, notwithstanding the thousands of years they had been buried under the ground. Cypress is justly called "The Wood Eternal" and, on account of its wonderful weather resisting qualities, is specified very liberally by us in all places where material is exposed to the elements. Scientific Drying The greatest pains are taken to buy the best lumber, regardless of the distance the forest may be from our factory. We also use special care to prevent deteriora- tion, warping or season checking. Lumber of every kind that enters into a millwork product must be well air dried before being placed in our storage warehouses, and then directly before using must pass through kilns that eliminate excess moisture. Kiln drying today is a scientific process. If lumber is kiln dried too much, doors and windows are liable to expand when in use. If kiln dried too little, heat in a building is liable to cause shrinkage. Therefore, all lumber before it enters into our finished products is subjected to a laboratory test to determine the exact moisture content, before the material can be used. Hence, the millwork used in our Modern Homes is entirely dependable and less liable to shrinkage, expansion or warping than millwork made in the cus- tomary way, or according to old processes. Our Great Transfer System All lumber carried in the Storage Warehouse (see illustration at top of this page) is carefully piled on movable trucks at the time the lumber is graded out of the incoming cars. Electric power transfers every load to its proper place in these vast storage warehouses. There the lumber remains until thoroughly seasoned and air dried. When needed, is transferred onto the central rails through the dry kilns, and into the cutting rooms, without ever having been removed from the original trucks or touched by human hands. To our knowledge there is no other arrangement that is as productive of high quality and low cost of handling as the one in use at our Millwork Factory. These solidly con- structed rainproof ware- houses protect our mill- work lumber until it is required in this factory. Our high quality mill- work shipped from this clean, bright and dry stock direct to you. Good Lumber Makes Good Millwork As the result of the care we have taken in the ware- housing of our lumber, and manufacturing it into doors, windows, moldings, etc., we daily receive unsolicited letters from contractors and buyers of "HONOR BILT" houses. They m tell us that the millwork we handle is of a much better grade and quality than they can buy in their local market. Here is what one contractor says about our millwork: " — The lumber was an excellent grade and I had people tell me that it had been a long time since they saw where the window frames, trim and siding were all Cypress. Your construction is very good, as your doors, windows, the corners and headers are all double, making strong houses — also to say that your cuts are good fits — better than could be done by hand." Elmer M. Blume, Des Plaines, 111. In our files are thousands of letters similar to the above. Such recommendations prove that our millwork is far better than the kind that is generally used in houses. Even Framing Lumber Is Protected In the lower illustration we show one of our five 800-foot double deck lumber warehouses at our big Lumber Plant in Illinois, where forty acres are devoted to the sorting, manufacturing and shipping of lumber for "HONOR BILT" Modern Homes. Compare these facilities with those of the average lumber yard in your vicinity. Framing lumber, sheathing, siding, etc., in retail yards, is usually piled out in the open, and not sheltered from rain, sun, snow or dirt. Here you can see that all of our lumber, even including that which is used for framing, such as studding, rafters, etc., is kept clean and dry, free from rot or discoloration. Result: "HONOR BILT" houses are of better material and have a longer life than frame houses built in the ordinary way. Lumber From Virgin Forests The framing lumber used in the construction of Ready Cut "HONOR BILT" Modern Homes finds its origin in the forests of Mississippi and Louisiana, where the best close grained and fine textured Yellow Pine is grown. Practically all of the framing lumber we sell comes from the virgin forests of this district, which lumber experts know produce the finest Yellow Pine lumber in the world. Compare this very high grade of framing material with Hemlock, Tamarack, Spruce and Huron Pine that is being used in many districts for this purpose. You will readily understand why "HONOR BILT" homes are better than other frame constructed buildings. The Man Who Knows To prove that the man who knows appreciates quality when he sees it, we are pub- lishing below a letter just received from a contractor who has just completed one of our Ready Cut "HONOR BILT" Modern Homes: " — I have personally built about twenty-five of your houses and am well acquainted with your material and construction. The fact that I am wanting one of your houses now for myself testifies sufiiciently as to my opinion of your material, construction and treatment." E. G. Eckenrode, 23 No. 13th St., Kenmore, Ohio. Limited space does not permit our publishing more letters of this kind, but we have thousands of them. We will gladly refer you to our customers in your locality, pro- viding you will write us asking for names and addresses of customers residing in your state or county.

Manufacturing enormous quantities of material in our own factories, and sell- ing direct to you, lowers our cost of doing business to a point where we can afford to give you this valu- able service without an additional charge. We make no charge for this valuable Service when uou make your selection from this book ^Jte usual charge is - fmmtlOO* 2 lo $ IOOO°-2 for what we give uou FREE [Saves Uou Uou From Experimenting with Untried Plans Of course, you have heard of even the best of archi- tects going wrong — the plans turned out differently than was expected — they were "theoretical" plans, the untried kind. "HONOR BILT" plans are prac- tical, proved so by building each design many times and in all, over 32,000 houses. From Buying Extras and Surplus Materials An "HONOR BILT" customer never need worry about the dreaded extras. They know before they start what the cost is going to be- If by chance the material proves insufficient, or of the wrong kind, Sears, Roebuck and Co. pay for the extra material Did you ever hear of anyone else who did? From Poor Workmanship and Faulty Construction "HONOR BILT" Ready Cut Houses are cut to a mathematical correctness — every foot of framing material is cut by machine — standardized on the same principle as a good automobile. This prevents "butchered carpentry," and results in a more rigid construction than the ordinary hand framed job. On Cost of Erection Many wise contractors prefer "HONOR BILT" Ready Cut Houses in preference to not ready cut. There's a reason. It saves time and money, and makes satisfied customers. No better proof of our Ready Cut system can be found than the recom- mendation of the man who knows. Don't fail to read all about the labor and time saved by our "HONOR BILT" Ready Cut system — see pages 10 and 11.

Town homes should be painted in a color that will harmonize with neighboring residences. Country or suburban homes are more pleasing when decorated in light shades. Good taste dictates a different harmonizing shade or color for the trimming of a house. This gives the house a neat, well dressed appearance and relieves the monotony of a single color. "Honor Bilt" Homes are high grade in every way. Building standards of the highest order apply. That's why we furnish three coats of Seroco Paint for the exterior. Less than three coats of paint would not insure proper protection and lasting color. Seroco Paint is made in our own large paint factory. Skilled labor, the latest equipment known to the industry, the best raw materials, plus twenty- five years of successful experience, pro- duce the best paint.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN Page 26 z Gentlemen: - August 11, 1924. I have just recently completed building one of your "Honor Bilt" Modern Homes, and want to tell you how well I am satisfied. I saved over 82,000.00 in building this house, and when it was completed I was able to get a mortgage for more than the construction cost. It certainly is a sub- stantial house, and no one will make a mistake in buying or building an "Honor Bilt" Modern Home. You might also like to know that it is furnished with Sears-Roebuck rugs, furniture and curtains, also wall paper and fixtures, and in buying my furniture from you I saved over half. You may refer anyone to me as I know they will be pleased as well as satisfied in dealing with your company. (Signed) A. W.

All rafter ends on porch and main roof have exposed ends. The front windows have divided upper lights. The two front windows on the second story are provided with flower boxes. Even the dormer adds to the sym- metry of a harmonious design that is difficult to improve. Being planned on strictly square lines, every foot of floor space is utilized to advantage and the upkeep is small. FIRST FLOOR The Living Room.

FROM THE GOLDEN WEST The Osborn it shown in full colors on page 20 of this book THE OSBORN is the most pleasing type of stucco and shingle sided bungalow in Spanish mission architecture. Where will you find its equal? Massive stucco porches and bulkheads, trimmed with red brick coping, give that needed touch of color, emphasizing its graceful lines. The timber columns resting on the large square piers or concrete columns, are in perfect harmony with the rest, and support the graceful roof with its wide verge boards and timber pur- lins. Here the architect has given careful study to every detail, and furnished a crea- tion that is striking, yet restful. The shingle siding, the timber wood columns, corbels and purlins, can be painted or stained a rich brown, or dark brick red, with most pleasing effect, in contrast with the gray stucco porch walls and chimney, and the red or green asphalt shingle roof, The Osborn will appeal to the lover of nature because of its two open porches both sheltered by the main roof, and the sleeping porch in the rear. The side porch is private, size 13 feet by 8 feet 8 inches. The front porch is provided with steps and landing leading to the front entrance, and is 22 feet by 9 feet, which is of unusual size.

The window seat has storage ipace for clothing, blankets, etc. At each side of the window seat is a coat eloset. Ample wall space will accommodate a piano and pictures, while the large floor area provides a good setting for furniture, in- cluding davenport.

SIX OR EIGHT ROOMS AND BATH THE COLUMBINE, a unique creation in American architecture, has always re- ceived praise wherever it has been built. The symmetrical lines of the front cannot be visualized by the illustration. However, the front porch, size 24 feet by 9 feet 6 inches, is roofed in the center, with pergolas at either side which shade the porch, yet give the full benefit of all the air and light. The porch roof and pergolas are supported by six colonial columns. The dentals in the porch gables give it the final touch of elegance and good taste. Don't overlook the triple windows on either side of the porch, the massive brick chimney on the left and the special divided lights in the upper sash of all the windows. You will agree that it is a creation hard to beat. The floor plan meets the de- sires of those who want the living and dining rooms in the front, and the sleeping rooms in the rear.

They speak enthusiastically of the appearance of solid comfort they convey, and describe them as covered with vines and climbing roses. Most of these English homes are constructed of stone, brick or concrete. The Hathaway is a striking example of this style of architecture, in frame construction with wood shingle siding. It makes a home suitable for suburb or country. The treatment is unique and artistic, the result being achieved at compara- tively small cost. The ornamental trellised porch is a typical English feature. It is cozy and grace- ful and the Colonial and French windows with their flower boxes make this type of house at home in any American community. The proud possessor will quickly avail himself of the special advantages which an artistic grouping of shrubs and flowers will secure. Vines or ivy on the trellis and side walls will transform this house into a bower of beauty. FIRST FLOOR The Living Room is entered from the front porch. Size, 13 feet 8 inches by 12 feet 1 inch.

The entrance with its colonial col- umns, colonial door and side lights is most inviting and attractive, flanked by the double colonial windows on either side. The view to the visitor or passerby presents a •vision of hospitality and brightness that is characteristic of many famous his- torical homes. The second story front is in keeping with the balance of the exterior.

Fancy this commodious home set in its proper landscape! The red tile approach to the brick porch ornamented with flowers and shrub- bery will often prompt you to stand and admire this beautiful creation of the architect's skill. Study the floor plans. Compare the size of rooms with houses you are familiar with of much larger dimensions and you will appreciate that the unusual economical planning gives the Martha Washington the same size living rooms as found in houses of nearly double its size. FIRST FLOOR The Living Room. Opening the colonial door you enter a spacious living room extending the entire width of the house. Floor dimen- sions are: 27 feet 8 inches by 14 feet 5 inches. Directly in front you find a colonial brick mantel. To your left is a double bay window with hinged seat and bookcase. To the right an artistic open stair- way to the second floor with a coat closet on the landing. In this big room you have ample space for a large piaho, phonograph, davenport, library table, plenty of chairs, read- ing lamp and other furniture you deem necessary for your own com- fort and the entertainment of your guests. This room is so well lighted and ventilated that an outside porch is really unnecessary. The Dining Room. To the left of the brick mantel in the living room is a pair of French doors leading into the dining room which is lighted by a a pair of large windows; also two windows to the left, between which is a bay large enough to accommodate a commodious buffet. (Description continued on the opposite page) Page 80 SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO.

Our Kitchen De Luxe outfit, as illustrated below, disappear- ing ironing board, the stair- way which enables one to reach the second floor from either living room or kitch- en, the extra closet on kitch- en stair landing, and the modern grade entrance with refrigerator space inside the house — but outside the kitchen — are unusual and most desirable features. Plenty of space for stove and table. Plenty of light and air. Side and Front View of the Martha Washington SECOND FLOOR The Bedrooms.

VIEW OF INTERIOR— FIRST FLOOR VIEW OF INTERIOR— SECOND FLOOR SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. 597 sPage 81 SIX ROOMS, BATH AND GARAGE THE ARDARA bungalow possesses many attractive features and conveniences. Here the architect has created a design that is conspicuous because of its beauty and notable for its contrast to the commonplace. It pleasingly combines Oriental and Occi- dental architecture. The porch, with its graceful roof lines, together with the trellises over the large front windows is in perfect harmony with rest of the design. The garage at the left, carrying the same treatment as the house, not only is a very convenient feature, but enhances the beauty of the entire bungalow. The Ardara has been chosen by many professional and business men because of its practical arrangement. Honor RUr ^ke Tlrdara No. I303&X "Already Cut" and Fitted $2,092.00 $2,294.00 Without Carat* With Garage The Living: Room. One enters the living room through a beautiful glazed door with side lights. The first impression is the large size of the rooms. The living room, dining room, and music room are separated by wide cased openings, giving one a feel- ing of spacious living quarters. The living room, with music room, is 24 feet 10 inches long by nearly 14 feet wide. This arrangement allows space for piano, davenport and all other living room furniture. A coat closet is conveniently located in the living room, close to the passage that leads to dining room, and garage. There are four windows, giving an abundance of light and air. The music room may also be used for library , study or professional office. It is located with the least interference to the rest of the house. The Dining Room. The feature of the dining room is the triple window. The size of the room is 12 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 6 inches, allowing plenty of room for furniture and service. The Kitchen. From dining room a swinging door leads to the well arranged kitchen, 10 feet 2 inches wide and 10 feet 7 inches deep. Space for range is just inside door. Sink is located in the left hand corner. Work table can be placed directly under the double windows at the right. Directly off the kitchen is a pantry, provided with shelves. A door leads to a rear entry. There is space for ice box. Rear door opens to stoop, which leads to lawn. The Bedrooms. The arrangement of sleeping quarters and bath deserves special mention. The two bedrooms and bath are reached through a hallway that also connects with the dining room, and kitchen. One bedroom is 12 feet 4 inches by 11 feet 4 inches. The rear bedroom is 11 feet 2 inches by 9 feet 10 inches. Bedrooms have good size clothes closets, with shelves and wardrobe poles. Both bedrooms have two windows. The bathroom is conveniently located to bedrooms and kitchen. Ample space is provided for bath- room fixtures. Due to the arrangement of the kitchen and ^ bathroom, considerable saving is made in the "roughing in" of the plumbing. The Garage. The attachment of the garage to the house is ideal. Many of the most expensive mansions are now arranged in this manner. Aside from the convenience and safety, the garage can be heated at a lower cost. A garage with house can be built more economically than if a substantial garage were built separately. The garage connects with the living quarters through a hall, avoiding the usual discomforts when the garage is separate. The garage has large swinging doors in the front, two windows at the side and one window and grade entrance at the rear. Size of garage is 12 feet by 18 feet. The Ardara can be furnished with or with- out garage. Basement. Entrance to basement is through the front hall. Room for furnace, laundry and storage. Height of Ceilings. Basement, 7 feet, floor to joists. Main floor, 9 feet 2 inches, floor to ceiling.

For General Specifications See Page 97 596 Page 99 THE PERFECT GARAGE DOOR Works Easy ~ Never gets out of order Progress comes to the aid of seventeen million motor car owners. It means the end of banging and slamming garage doors hung on hinges. The old kind of door is no longer used when the Sears Triple Sliding Doors are to be had. The old fashioned hinged door broke many automobile lamps and fenders when a gust of wind would send the heavy, cumbersome door against the car while enter- ing the garage. The unique Patented Roller Bearing Sliding Door Equipment and doors are almost worth the price of the garage alone, because they will pay for themselves in a short time, if the cost of damages to the car is considered. -The Sears Garage Door cannot close at the critical moment. Neither do you have to shovel snow and ice away in the winter time in order to open it. The Sears Garage Door moves easily and quickly over a steel track, on roller bearing rollers, balanced perfectly. A ten-year old child can open the doors without exertion. The rollers cannot get off the track. No Other Garage Doors Compare With the Sears Triple Sliding Door See illustration "A" above which shows how the doors slide close to the wall with no loss of space. They take up no room except 13 inches of waste space in one corner. One door serves two purposes: One door is hinged, to be used as a service door as well as a sliding door. The Sears Triple Sliding Door Equipment costs over three times as much as the ordinary kind. Yet, we offer it to you as part of our Simplex Garages at NO ADDITIONAL COST. You will be more than satisfied if you purchase a Simplex Sectional Garage, equipped with the Sears Triple Sliding Door.

A small payment each month, as you would pay rent, makes you the owner of a good home in a few years. Interest charges, 0 per cent per year. Your interest becomes less each time you make a payment. THIS IS THE WAY OUR MONTHLY EASY PAYMENT PLAN WORKS OUT* Suppose you want to own a house to cost $4,500.00 complete, not including lot, and pay for it in five years. 1. Cost of building lot $ 500.00 2. Cost of building material and freight charges $2,500.00 3. Cost of labor and masonry material 2,000.00 Cost of house (built complete) 4,500.00 m Cost of lot and house completed $5,000.00 Here is what Sears, Roebuck and Co. will do in this case: 1. Ship the material according to our monthly payment plan $2,500.00 2. Advance you cash to help you pay for the construction of the building 500.00 Total , $3,000.00 This means that if you own a lot costing $500.00 free from debt, and have $1,500.00 in cash, you can put up a $4,500.00 house with our assistance and pay us back a little each month, about equal to your rent. -HERE IS WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED OF YOU IN THIS CASE- 1. Show clear title for building lot costing $500.00. (See explanation below.) 2. Send us with your order a payment of $75.00, which is 2% per cent of $3,000.00, the amount due us for material and cash advanced.

FIVE ROOMS, BATH AND PORCH 1 rjlHE ARGYLE Is a bungalow home that will not be too extreme and yet is entirely different from a cottage. The exterior is finished in shingles, except the gables and porch which call for stucco. It is neat, well arranged and solidly constructed. We have included the most popular built-in fixtures, thus^ saving both room and the need of pur- chasing bulky pieces of furniture, such as bookcases and kitchen cabinets. Moreover, careful study of the Argyle floor plan reveals as much actual accommodation and more convenience than the usual six or seven-room two-story house. Argyle owners are very enthusiastic. Their letters freely praise our free architectural service, good mate- rial, solid construction and money saved on their houses. "A $7,500.00 house," you might say, and you would be right if it were built in the ordinary way. Yet, by our "Honor Bilt" System, we are able to fur- nish the materials so you can build The Argyle for a great deal less. The Living Room. From the front porch with its bungalow porch rail, you enter the living room. It is 12 feet 2 inches wide and 15 feet 11 inches long. A fine craftsman brick mantel sits in the center of the right wall. On each side of mantel is a built-in bookcase, glazed with leaded glass doors. A casement sash, cor- responding in style with top of big front window, is directly above each bookcase. There is ample wall space for furniture and piano. Light and ventilation from two sides. The Dining Room. You pass through a wide cased opening from the living room into the dining room, size 14 feet 2 inches by 1 1 feet 4 inches. Here the walls are paneled. Four windows in a recessed bay insure a cheerful atmosphere that adds zest when the family dines. The Kitchen. A swinging door leads from the din- ing room to the ideal kitchen. It is 12 feet 2 inches by 9 feet 2 inches in size. On each side of space for sink are upper and lower cupboards. A complete cabinet is built on the opposite wall. There is ample space for a stove, table and other needed furniture. Three win- dows provide light and air. The grade entrance keeps cold and dirt out. Stairs lead to yard and basement. The Bedrooms. A hall opens from the dining room and connects with the two bedrooms and bath. Hall has a roomy coat closet and also a linen closet. The front bedroom has a clothes closet with shelf. There is a front and also a side window. The rear bedroom, too, has a clothes closet with hat shelf. There are two windows on the side. Bathroom is conveniently lo- cated between bedrooms.
