building In which the firm now has
a suite of offices.
At the time Payne began, his one

A structure that would be more
than merely a house and yet would
not be a "show place,'' was the dream
of J. J. Mulvihili, and he designed
this home. lie desired to have the
place spacious enough to accommodate
a good sized family, compact enough
to be easily heated In void weather,
sufficiently ventilated for the sum
mer months and yet attractive, both
Inslds and out.
To this end the home ■was designed
two stories in height. The first floor
was devoted to the rooms in which
a family would live during their
hours awake, and the second floor is
devoted to bedrooms
Boasts Spacious Porch.
The front porch is large enough tc
mark the place for a home. Tt is a
step entirely away from the more
numerous types of homes that have
discarded the porch to better acccn
tuate the entrance.
As the home is entered there is a
small reception hall. In grandfr tiler's
time it would have been ailed :i ves
tibule. This is one of the device*
used to aid in the heating. \ second
door helps to break the cold drafts
from outside.
From the entry hail access is
gained to the dining room. This room
occupies the from corner of the first
floor, gives space enough for a k.re
table and boast* of enough window*
to make it very attractive. Behind
the dining room comes a small passage
(way. From this passage opens the
breakfast nook. This nook is large
enough to comfortably accommodate
four persons. It has a large window
at the end of the Pullman table that
furnishes excellent light and air.
Kitchen Is Well Planned.
At the end of the passage is the
kitchen “ The most essential room
has been planned large enough to give
room for all the work that Is to be
done, and > et is compact enough to
save a great many st*ps. It has been
equipped with plenty of closets for
the storage of t*th foodstuffs and
utensils.
On the opposite side of the hous«
is the living room end the sun room
The living room occupies half of the
floor e.pac» on the first floor. It is
planned for comfoit and achieves its
aim.
The sun room is. in truth, half oi
the porch. The porch is built but
halt vva across the front of the hours
anti the tun room occupies the re
Running half
The stali-way to the second floor ’
at the e r of the house. That i
i, r near the entrance to the kitchen.
I pper llall Cleverly Planned
A square hay at the top of the
-lairs vrivt- access to all of the rooms.
The bath Is the center front. A bed
room is planned on each s-do and
two c.i-ci I edrooms divide the real
of the floor.
I Every room is equipped with a large
closet. Every •'home'1 requires space
for storage and this space has been
amply provided here.
The house, when all Is said, really
reaches the height of MulvihlU’s am
bition In designing a home. From the
outside It is not as "showy" as some
other of the homes he haa designed,
but for comfort, and that Is what
v.as foremost In the plan, it Is all
that can be wanted.

That house would be comfortable now,
yet only the sheathing is on
Why do you say that’
Because Celotex —nailed direct to the studs and rafters, with
all the joints sealed with the studs, headers and rafters—
mal es a more rigid structure than does wood sheathing,
' 7| insulates against heat and cold, weatherproofs the house.
r:r> To* «rt«nly fro* >■architecture. Mar,

The Man Who Didn’t Have Faith
*
I About 40 years ago there was a small house on the
south half of the ground where the City National
bank building now stands. : j
The man « bo rented the bouse, had a chance to buy :
it for $3,300, He “couldn't see it.’’ so he kept on ^
renting until another man bought it.
In n lew years, the man saw that lie had made a
mistake, but even then didn't know how big a mis
take he had made However, it was then too late to
correct the error.
He Didn't Have Sufficient Faith in Omaha
• *
But you may say : “That time is past There are
• no more such chances.”
You are wrong. Many people in Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland and other large cities, said exactly the
same thing when their cities had reached the 200.
000 mark in population. Those people didn't have
faith in their cities.
But see what happened to a few that did have faith!
Today they are rich and independent! !
Omaha Real Estate todav offers the same opportu- j
nities that these other cities offered when they had
200,000 people.
There are opportunities today as good as that which
the tenant on the City National ground “couldu t
' see.”
That wonderfully rich agricultural territory, of which Omaha is
ilie '•enter, is developing every year, because the agricultural
industry is a necessity. That makes Omaha grow.
