BOOKCASES CAN GIVE INDIVIDUALITY

Prospective House Builder Should Remember to Make Place for Volumes —May Conform to Architectural Plans. By Molly Elliott The ingenious prospective house builder has the happy faculty of thinking of every detail of his problem before he begins the actual building of his house. He is the one who prevents that bewildering problem of where to put the books, after the last dust and shaving is brushed away and the family eagerly awaits the arranging of the furniture in “the new house.” 4 A little shamefacedly we will Bav> to admit that the average t ? 'eriean home has so few books mat the problem is rarely ever a grave one. But what books there are should be provided for so that they will at once be accessible and serve as an added attraction to the room itself. A bookroom, or libraiy solely for the purpose of shelving the books and reading, is, of course, the ideal arrangement. But as we are not considering the type of house that is built for the housing of books alone, we are forced to use ingenuity in building-in cases that will accommodate our volumes as well as ci “respond with the atiposphere of the room and prove an addition at hitecturally speaking. Things to Observe Two things we must observe first and foremost. First, that the bookcases or shelA's must be built into the walls: second, they must be carried to , the coiling, or nearly so. Cases that are built only half way up and are not built into the wall serve to cut the room in half and produce a lack of uniformity that is unnecessarily annoying. The cases may be ornamental to a large degree and may be designed to conform to the architectural treatment of the room. Again simple, unadorned shelving without decorative treatment of any kind is safj and ai\vays in good taste. Most happily the corners of the room may be used to advantage in many instances. By taking advantage of the corners floor space is not lost and the difficulty of furnishing the corners is done away with. French Treatmept An excellent arrangement is the rather French treatment in which the cases are solidly built-in at one end of the room serving as a frame for a group of two windows In a bay. These provide an interesting manner of concealing the rai.;utors directly beneath them. The spaces at either side of the chimney pi .ce filled to the ceiling with Brightly colored books always add the need id note of color and hospitality to the living room and when properly treated pioduce a delightful atmosphere. Unexpected nooks and niches, just below a small window or between two door frames filled with hooks are an entertaining and interesting diversion to the eye and indicate charming individuality. There is Va, certain charm about a recessed book nook that fairly breathes an Invitation. Beside a window or flanking a window seat it offers Infinite possibilities for the placement of comfortable gay chintz arm chairs and cushions that do their bit In making comfortable the jburney into the unknown lands that open with the delving Into the pages bound in those brightly hued jackets. ERROR IS CORRECTED August Busclmiann and Sons, Inc., is Wholesale Firm. Through an error the term "plumbing contractors" recently on the Times Building Page was used in connection with August Buschmann and Sons, Inc. who on the contrary are Wholesale Jobbers of Plumbing Supplies. Out of courtesy, the building department wishes to correct the misnomer.

Lights and water have already been installed, and it will not be many years before the street car line also will be running right through this locality. Ideally Designed The Murray home is ideally designed to meet the natural advantages of the kit on which It is built. Designed in the semi-colonial style,

Wax is used in wealthy homes because it is the most brautiful floor finish that money can buy. Wax is used In modest homes, not alone for beauty, but also because it saves money and saves work. TWO USES FOR CURTAINS They Should Bxchnie Public and Lend Personality. It is the duty of your curtains to exclude the public gaze from your home—and to do it without destroying your view of garden or street. But It Is also their duty to give personality, a touch of exclusiveness, to your windows.

it is finished in red brick and cream trimmings. A simple entrance at the side is approached by quaint flagstones sunk in the sod and a large brass knocker is the only adornment on the wide {.olid-wood door. A center hall divides the down stairs, but by'the ingenious designing of a large entrance to the living room on the right gives a feeling of added space to that rom.

PLUMBING UPON PAYMENT PLAN Capital Company Adopts Buschmann Idea. The Capital Plumbing Company has definitely ranked itself among the of the city, striving to give service that will be to the interest of its customers by adopting the Buschmann plan. Operating on the payment plan, this company makes its estimates on the installation of plumbing fixtures of the best grade and arranges that the builder pay only a part of the estimated cost at installation and the r?st monthly, or according to arrangement. This plan originated by August Buschmann & Sons, Inc., wholesale jobbers in plumbing supplies, has been found to expedite the matter of installing highgrade plumbing fixtures without the burden of expense being too great. CEMENT BLOCK BUSINESS GOOD Lewis Company Ready to Meet Demand. With greater and better Indianapolis giving them building projects, the Lewis Cement Block Company, finds business picking up with the fall season. Despite the increase in demand for building materials, however L. W. Lewis, declares that they can meet the needs and that they are ready for the heavy fall trade. f This company has the reputation of many years behind its service and the dependability of its merchandise. Leading builders all ovdi- Indianapolis and vicinity have depended upon it without disappointment. A house must of necessity have at its foundations the best quality of building block. Without It all manner of devices for durability and beauty would be useless. It is with this in mind that the company has forever prided itself on the high MONEY IS WELL SPENT Even If More Than Utility Value Is Paid for “C’orrest” Design. Every dollar spent for furniture beyond its mere utility value is spent for something added because of design. If the design or form Is good, then the money is well spent. If the design is mongrel, and falls to stand the test of criticism by those who understand "correot” convention in design, then the money is worse than wasted.
