Mnny people believe that the use of faco brick In the construction of n. resi dence, of necessity adds a heavy burden of extra Initial cost This belief was justified at one time when face brick wero scarce and expen sive and when lumber was of good qual ity, plentiful and cheap. Today the tables are turned. Lumber costs have soared as the supply has consistently diminished. Drick production has Increased by leaps and bounds and with Increased produc tion has come better methods of manu facture, lower costs and many artlstlo effects. Time was when th nnlv fr tiiHeU no. a red pressed produce of unvarying shade ana texture. No wonder we grow weary of the archi tectural offerings of twehty-flve to forty years ago. Tho same red brick, tho same mansard roofs with slate shingles, the some dormers and cupolas and steeples In every residence or building of Im portance. No wonder home builders turned to framo construction for variety, for grace, and for reasonable cost Dut now--what Is the situation? A brick effect for every fancy, a thousand shades and textures and possibly com binations; a new appreciation of the pos sibilities of artlstlo brick detail; a cost within, the rtfach of every man who wants to build. The design that Is shown above, for a brick hOUSS tn Nil! LIIWI I. nnn f monu - a u..u w. um,j submitted In a contest by "The firlck uuiiaer- to demonstrate this argument. The house contains living room, dining room, kitchen, three large bedrooms, good closet space, bath and porches, boasts two fireplaces, a Ground area of 29 feet 8 Inches by 25 feet 2 Inches and la a really commodious, convenient and comfortable home. Yet Its estimated cost based on solid masonry construction and with your cholco of many modern face brick Is only 12,709.76 complete. This price Is within the means of every builder who wants six good sized rooms and bath. This Is a fact further empha sized by a consideration of values re ceived, as follows: Solid maslnry means fire, frost and sun protection. Face brick means nermnnpnt beauty, no pointing, no rotting, no vmp- ing nor wear. Doth together mean a comfortable home of the kind you really want. The postmaster general of the United States, In his last official report, states that "wildcat" securities and "fake" In vestments to the extent of 1120,000,000 were sold through the malls during the last year. Nowspapera recently gave, ac counts of a number of spectacular raids made by postal Inspectors on the offices of promoters and professional swindlers who were using the malls to Indues peo ple to purchase spurious stocks or In vestments. In some cases these pro moters maintained an elaborate system of private wires and hod elegant offices In many cities. The "securities" they offered consisted largely of pseudo shares In Industrial, mining and land promotion enterprises. t Despite the numerous statutory safe cuards which have been enacted for the Trust' Companies Hit Fakes protection of Investors and control of corporations, or enterprises offering stocks or bonds for sale, there are many subterfuges which the unscrupulous pro fessional promoter utilises to swindle In nocent women and men. Tho question, then, follows, naturally, as to what Is the most Important agency tn discourag ing Improper Investment and promotion schemes, Answer "the trust company." Further consideration of the growth and work of trust companies Jn the United States reveals the fact that they have exercised the greatest influence In limiting the field of operations of the professional promoter. "Fake" promoters have been taught by experience that they cannot enlist the co-operation of trust companies or securo their services as trustee, depositories, registrar, transfer agent or In any capacity. If one of these promoters goes Into the office of a reputable trust company and layK his plans before the executive or trust offi cer he soon finds out that his scheme win have to undergo an acid test and he hies himself away. Trust companies now generally main tain Investment departments, through which they offer Invaluable services to their clients and the general public. These departments are primarily main tained In connection with Investments in connection with handling trust funds, and for the purchase or sale of securities for the trust company's own account.' But frequently such departments handle original security and bond Issues. The manager of this department Is a man especially skilled to-Judgo Investments. nv O. M. BATON, In both heating and cooking with gas much expense Is Incurred by carelessness In operation and from 20 to per cent Is lost by having poor gas water heaters. By this the old-fashioned cast gas water heater Is almost as Inefficient as could possibly be Imagined. Next In Inef flency Is the, short copper coll gas water heater a copper coll of from fifteen to twenty-five feet. A gas water heater should bo selected, by the number of feet of copper coll It contains, rather than by What to Do to Keep Gas from Being Lost price, and for true economy one recom mended to heat a sixty or eighty-gallon tank Is (0 per cent better on a thirty or forty-gallon tank for tho reason that all are about the same diameter at the bot tom, as every heater; has a three or four Inch vent pipe at top connected to the chimney. The heat from a gas burner has to travel the entire dlstanco from bottom, to top. and In the No. 1 Marvel copper coll gas water heater has only thirteen Inches heat travel, while No. 3 Marvel has twenty-slx-lnch heat travel, practically 100 per cent more heating sur face. In the 'No. S by the time the heat reaches the vnt pipe every unit ,of heat has been utilised. Probably not one pur chaser In a thousand takes this heat travel Into consideration, but It shows on your gas bill at thrf end of the month. The more surface you can present to your gas burner tho quicker you get scalding hot water and tho less It costs you. A gas water heater, as well as many other things, should not be selected by Initial cost, but by what the results are after It is Installed. HAVE V0U BEEN INTRODUCED?
