"I talked with a group of foreign anhi i ci is i he other day, after they had made a tour about this country," said I'iihu I toot recently, in asking l'unds for Hie completion of the Ca thedral of St. John the Divine. "They Maid that our banking houses and our railroad st tions were far superior to anything of their kind in Europe." On the other hand, Mr. Hoot pointed out, America was "a country of small churchi s. He wondered whether the country, after her experiences in the great war, had "no message to the world that is- fit to express. The public in general will do well to poTV'"V the full symbolism of b'-ati-Hl';:! lr pi;- and ugly churches.

' Wr A COUPLE of coats of paint and a few fancy frills and a new house may at first be a thing of beauty. But "Beauty is only skin deep." The real test comes when the newness begins to wear off. Poor construction and CHEAP, INFERIOR MATERIALS re sult in quick deterioration. The man who endeavors to save on first cost by us:ng cheap materials scon finds himself loaded down with bills for unnecessary repairs, and he ultimately pays a great deal more for his ho-ise than if he had built right in the first place. Especially in the house that is built for speculation (bu:lt to sell) is quality reduced to the irreducible minimum. The use of inferior short-lived materials in place of substantial, durable materials is today's greatest menace to the building of better homes. YOU will want your home to be as nearly expense proof as pos sible! Then BUILD your own heme and see that only the best mate rialsexpense proof materials go into itl Take counsel with some one who knows the building game and can advise you as to what materials will give you ATTRACTIVENESS AS WELL AS DURABILITY AT REASONABLE COST. We are in position to give you such counsel and advice and offer it to you without obligation. Consult Us Before You Build It may be good business for some dealers to handle and supply their trade with cheap materials because such materials usually bring a bigger profit, but it's not good business for the customer. Nothing is good busi ness for us that is not good business for our customer friends. All our materials stand representative of 100 per cent value and insure our custom ers of lasting satisfaction.
