LOOK OUT FOR MIs'rAIiEs .-
WHEN BUILDING-A HOME
Every man who build: a house should remember that
. day he may want to sell it—a well planned house will
always attract a buyer but if you have overlooked the details
fiat lend comfort and convenience, used shoddy materials,
,e‘e will find it hard to dispose of the place at a good price.
When you come to letting the contract he sure that yep. know
the reputation of the contractor. The lowest bid is not al-
ya the best, so before you decide to accept it, make inqui.
rles about the standing and the quality of work the bidder
has been doing. Be careful about using new kinds of mate-
3m, let somebody else do the experimenting. Get materials
.ffor your house that you know have stood the test of time.

Q There is nothing mysterious about home building, every
problem presented can be understood clearly by any one.
But the average home-builder fails to inform himself or'fails
~~Ato seek expert assistance and thus gets himself intotrouble.
