casjonally to substitute new Investments
which bring In larger returns and which

Another Important reason why trus
companies hnve established bond depart

The Hachman resldeco Is a (rood ox
ntnpln of Hirgllsh domestic architecture
adapted to meet the needs of American
Ulcus. The Kngltsh domestic Is a simple
and dignified typo of residence archltJC-
ture, and lis exemplified In this partial-
tnt residence Is an excellent example uf
brick nnd stucco construction, practically
Indrstriictlblo materials ami Inexpensive.
Architect George Ia Fisher states thut
this same house constructed In frame.
with tho outside finish of clapboard wou.J
cost at least 90 per, cent of the brick and
stucco construction'. In other words, the
cost of the above houso as built 1b about
10 per cent more than ordinary frame,
construction. Tho face brick, fur.ilshed
by Bunderland Drothers company, are a
dark brown, round ecjue. repress, brick
of beautiful color and texture, olthougn
tho Individual brick aro rather crude and
imperfect.
Urlck for tho lower story and stucco
for the second story arc coining rao'i
arid -moro 'into uso for residenco con
struction. By tiBlng faco brick from th
KriCdo 'lltfe to tlie second story window
sills a perfectly dry house Is assured.
The 'foundation walls from the footing
and - to' the grade line can be of good
common brlik or well-burned hollow tile,
and 'by' fh'c'uso of stucco for tho second
story. t wh'cr'e this material receives the
minimum exposure, the results aro found
satisfactory 'for this climate, although a
fdll brick houso or a brick veneer house
Is by far the very best of nil methods of
residence construction.
Tho Itachman residence Is considered
one 'of 'the most arttstlo medium-priced
homeal'ln'Omttha and Is another example
of the 'progressive Idea of Omaha own
e'rp who. have been convinced that brick
construction, while higher In Its first
cost, ,ls' the most economical construction
in the' end. ' '
A brick house Is warm In winter and
cool In summer. It costs less to mai'.'
taln than the frame house, ns tho latter
muBt be painted at frequent Interval",
and. If appenrance 1b considered, the
frame house must be painted every two
years at a cost which, In a short time,
amounts to as much as the difference
between the first cost of the brick and
the frame construction.
The percentage of brick homes erectcil
in Omaha during the last three years Is
large, and from the record of building
permits granted during that time It is
found that there are more brick houses
being erected every year. Some of the
notable examples of brick houses erected
during the last twelve months aro those
of J. M. Baldrlge, Charles C. George, G.
D. Tunnlcllffe, Charles P. Junod, John
F. Flack, John McDonald, F. A. Wash,
Barton Millard, Jr.; J. K. Barstow and B.
F. Marshall.
