L4 rCME BUILDER Selecting the Building Lot Arthur O. Clausen, Architect. EW people realise the great lm- Fl portance of the location and I slae of a lot, and the prominent I'm I UIHl II lHILtJB 111 umiviiis the kome a place of content ment and happiness, or other wise. We will first consider some of the undesirable possibilities In the selection of a lot by reciting a few actual experiences that have come to the notice of the writer. A man with little experience In the buy ing of real estate bought two lots In a neighborhood Just opened up and con gratulated himself on the fact that he was able to obtain these two lots for less money than he would have to pay for a single lot In a neighborhood well built up. lie built upon this lot a 16,000 home, little realizing that the low price of the lots In that neighborhood would soon result in the building up all around htm of a very cheap class of houses, some of them being mere shacks, temporarily tarpapered on the outside until the owners could afford to finlfh them.

Many people took advantage durlns April of the Omaha Loan and Building associa tion's plans for home builders. It is an easy matter . to own your home it you follow the suggestion of this association. Fences sold by the Anchor Fence com pany, SWT North Seventeenth street, are very popular in Omaha now. The sales this spring are record breakers. C. R. Heflin has been given that name of "Key Man," because of his extensive work in duplicating keys and in opening locks that are trouble to their owners. Sales of American weather strip by F. H. Turney & Co., during the last two weeks have been extraordinarily heavy. W. W. Sherwood, 1213 Farnam street, is getting excellent results from all the elec trical wiring that he does. He has no complaints about defective wiring. Flower vases, made by the Ideal Cement Stone company, are very popular. So many were sold last week that extra men had to be engaged to create a supply to fill the demand. Seeds sold by the Nebraska Seed com pany, are in great demand. This firm reports the largest spring business in its history. Keystona, sold by Barker Bros. Paint company, is the popular material for dec orating walls. It is being sold more ex tensively this spring than ever before. Screens of all kinds were sold in large quantities during April by the Omaha Window Screen company. The sales for April and May will break all records of this firm. Expanded metal steel plastering lath, bold by the Northwestern Expanded Metal company of Chicago, prevents the cracking and falling of plaster on walls and ceiling. Figures and facts about brick houses that will interest every builder are held by Sunderland, 1614 Harney street. This firm will be pleased to show them to you. Notwithstanding the fact that many pre dict less building this year than last, the John Hussle Hardware company report more furnaces sold up to this time than for a corresponding period last year. This speaks well for the reputation of the fur naces sold by this firm. Mr. Hussle gives special attention v to scientific Installation and high grade mechanical work, which In part accounts for thoir popularity. Many orders are being booked dally for ornamental flower vases for delivery as soon as danger of frost is over. F. E. Pearce. 119 South Thirty-seventh street, who has been remodeling his home, placed a contract to heat his home with a Marvel combination hot water and warm air furnace, sold through the Omaha Stove Repair works, who are exclusive agents. The contract has been let to W. W. Sher wood for the electric wiring of the new residence of Mr. L. 'J. Nelson of Thirty fifth street and Woolworth avenue.

Home owners or prospective home own ers ought to spend more time looking into the question of properly heating their homes. Several firms have experts who will be pleased to give advice; the Omaha Stove Repair works employ men especially for this purpose. Barker Bros. Paint company report a much larger trade In the suburbs this year than last. The rapidly growing towns of B. neon and Florence are largely the cause of the gain.

UNDERLAND 1614 Harney Street 8 ' m i bjbj FOX FOMCES Mr. Home Builder you should give the selection of your furnace your personal attention. You wouldn't al low someone else to select your refrig erator or gas range would you? Then how much more attention should you give your furnace? Our Furnaces Are Good Furnaces But that is not enough. Far more depends upon proper installation and it is here that we excel. Don't make the mistake of believing that because all sruarantees read alike that all furnaces are alike. You don't heat your house with a guarantee. Remember that we do not work any "Junkers" or so called "Handy Men" on your furnace. Only finished mechanics under our perBonal direction.
