Exceeding Livability of Evans Home Achieved Through Compact Arrangement, With Artistic Decoration

neai tommy *- i : ,uVv JmUm ■ HH &s™i-. y * * BBpßpjpp|P /*

The true test of the skillful planning of a house lies in the "livability” of the house when completed. Convenience is achieved through compact arrangement in the home of Mr. and Mrs. A1 Evans. 3859 By ram Ave. The one feature that makes more for the comfortable arrangement of the house than any other is the square hall which is pliicad in the center of the house and which is directly accessible from every room except the kitchen. The house is hullt of wide siding painted brown with window trim of Ivory. A square porch, comfortably deep, recessed so as to be in line with the west end of the house, furnishes an outdoor meeting place and provides a note of architectual interest as well. Tan awnings with ivory fringe are used on the porch and at the windows. The main entrance taps the living

ARCHITECTS TURN TO BRICK FOB ALL BUILDING NEEDS i! ermanent Materials Continue to Replace LumberColors Attractive, There was a time when the bulk jof the building was constructed of j wood, but circumstances have changed j things so that today the larger part ! both of a residential and business i j character, is of brick or other perj manent materials. The ever-increas-ing scarcity of wood has made the | prices of lumber much higher so that prices of permanent materials I, are really not much higher than of j lumber. According to Nelson Adams, jun I ior partner of James B. Adims & ! Son, 321 Lemcke building, brick fur- ; nlahes one of the best possible me- ; diums for architectural beauty and ' structural dignity. The adaptability | of brick to buildings of varying arch- ! itectural design is one of the things | that has gone a long ways toward stabilizing the use of brick. The architect has a wide range of ! colors from which to select as well as a wide field of texturejj, American kilns are producing brick made 1 of different kinds of clay and in every j conceivable shade. Then in addition : to the great field of color there are I almost as many available snades in the mortar used. Brick combines very beautifully with other materials and makes a very artistic trim for stucco or stone and is j the ideal material for chimneys. "Building seems to be continuing without interruption and as nearly as we can determine, W’e predict a conj tinuance of this same sort of acI tivity throughout the remainder of the season,” Adams said.

COAL PURCHASING. TIME IS AT BAND

Indianapolis Supply Adequate and Prices Are Right,

The time is right for the purchase of the years supply of coal. Not only is the price as low and in all probability lower than it will be later on, but the purchaser will have the satisfaction of knowing that his family will have a comfortable heated home during the winter. Concerning this -if nr, on. H. A.

ii±E INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

1. From the exterior one would judge the house to be much smaller than it actually is. 2. A view of the dining room as it appears from the living room. room, which is unusually attractive. In size it is comparable with the living rooms in many very large homes and in every respect of arrangement and furnishing expresses the spirit of hospitality and friendliness. The interest in the room is found In the fireplace In the middle of the south wall. The furniture,of the room is so grouped that the cheer of the fireplace Is enjoyed from every corner of the room. The windows are curtained with silk sunfast In a colorful combination of mulberry and tan. This note of mulberry is the characteristic one In the room, being repeated In the corded Rogers, secretary treasurer of the A. B. Keeport Company, 620 N. Senate Ave.. reports that the general storing of coal is la-low normal "Prices are at the bottom,” said Mr. Rogers, "and the last few days has seen a raise of from 25 to 50 cents a ton at the mir\e. “The threatened strike of anthracite, mines further complicates the situation; if the strike occurs that means that the supply of smokeless and semismokeless coals will be curtailed. "The price of coal lti Indianapolis Is right, the quality good and the supply seemingly adequate; so with the conditions right, we see no reason why the public should hesitate about purchasing coal at this time.’’ Mr. Rogers believes that conditions point to brisk building business throughout the fall season. "Our ow-n business has been heavier than It usually Is at this season of the year. There will no doubt be a considerable program of new building of a residential character and in addition to this there will be a heavy season of repair. "We are operating our building material manufacturing plants at capacity for what materials we are able to store up against the current demand will be ready for the opening of the new building season.”

GOOD PAINTING PAYSOIVIDENDS Careless Workmanship Must Always Be Guarded Against, The amount of painting being done in a locality Is largely dependent upon the buijding that is going on and because of the unusual activity in the building field the painters have had more work than they could do. Much of the satisfaction of a painting Job depends upon the workmanship. No matter how nearly perfect the conditions or paint may be. the job will present a very unattractive appearance and will scale and chy? If the painter was careless in his work. This is why it pays to give the job to a resident painter, to a man who is established here and who will be willing to make good the work if it fails to hold up. The painting of a building not only improves its appearance and protects it against deterioration, but also adds to the saleability of the property as well. “We handle a full line of Burdsal paints, brushes and other painters’ materials,” said W. E. Steinbarger, manager of Hatfield Paint Company. “We are very glad to see that owners are painting their old residences, but this work has greatly fallen off during the heavy business season for the painters have been toqjDusy with new building projects.”

GRONINGER AVERS PHONE COMPANY IS SEEKING ALMS Corporation Counsel Attacks Indiana Beil for Asking , Increase, “The Indiana Bell Telephone Company is the blind man*on the street corner with a tin cup begging alms of the people of Indiana for the American Telegraph and Telephone Company of New York,” declared Taylor E. Gronlnger. corporation counsel, speaking at a community meeting at Illinois and Thirtieth Sts., Wednesday night. H. B. Pike, 3021 N. Talbott Ave., Indianapolis attorney, presided. The meeting, under auspices of the Thirtieth and Illinois Merchants’ Association, was to protest against increased telephone rates.

The property of the Indiana company w r as purchased for $T8,000,000 by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, Gronlnger said. Service Commission “Ttye people will soon see the day when the public service commission will deal with facts and not with conjectures. Then we will arrive at utility rates that are honest to the public.” Gronlnger outlined the fight waged by the city legal department against rate increase sought by the -Water company. He praised the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and the two light companies, whioh he declared have met adverse conditions without demanding a rate Increase. Shank Absent Mayor Shank, scheduled to address the meeting did not* arrive. His absence was explained by Gronlnger to be due to the fact that there was a horse show at the fairgrounds. Introducing Groninger, ex-Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter. declared all that stood between the people of Indianapolis and Increased telephone rates was the city legal department. Miss Helen Valodln, 3009 N. Illinois St., leader in the popularity contest conducted by the merchants’ association. received a S2O cash prize on the occasion.

CALVIN COOLIDGE IS POLE HORSE IN REPUBLICAN RACE Upham Says Contest Lies Between President and Hi Johnson, Bu United Prraa CHICAGO. Sept. 6.—The Republican’s party pre-convention political campaign will be confined chiefly to domestic questions. Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the Republican national committee, said here today after a tour of . Europe and conferences with party leaders in New York. “The record of the Republican party and conditions under the last Democratic administration will be stressed,” he asserted. Upham declared President Coolidge will be the “pole horse” of the Republican race. He believes the contest. as things stand now, appears to be between Coolidge and Hiram Johnson. t Chicago is virtually certain to be the scene of the next Republican convention, he said, unless Mr. Coolidge urges some other city. Upham said an Aemrican commission should study Germany’s ability to pay reparations as the means of determining how France should liquidate her debt to tb* United States.

RAMIFICATIONS OT LUMBER BUSINESS PROVE APPALLING Cabinet Work of Brookside Company Alone Requires Separate Department, During the past few months various kinds of business have been more or less quiet, but not so with the building line. The real need for building, especially of a residential character, has made a necessity for capacity work and the lumber companies have had all the business that they could care for during the season. In many instances they have found it advisable to enlarge their, plants in order that they could better care for their Increased business. This method was chosen by the Brookside Lumber Company, 1415 Commerce Ave., when the manager, W. J. Goodwin, saw the plant would be unable to care for its orders. A visit to the plant impresses one wlih the variety of work that is done by a lumber concern. A great deal of cabinet work is done by the Brookside Lumber Company; this is due, explained Mr. Goodwin, to the fact that practically every home and apart ment house has a great deal of builtin features that must be made according to specifications. There are built-in wardrobe features, built-in bathroom fixtures and practically the whole of the kitchen is composed of built-in work. Also there is mantel work, and the stairway, railings and posts, all of which call for workmanship of the highest order..
