Spend a Little More — And Have a Lot More — Buy Good Shades and Draperies v Suppose you are contemplating the purchase of Shades and Draperies. You have under consideration one set of shades and draperies at a certain price and another set at a lower price. Outwardly they look nearly alike—and you naturally wonder why the difference in price. But the difference is there. The material in the more expensive set are of a better quality. They will keep their tones and wear much longer. For a little more you will get Shades and Draperies that will last nearly a lifetime rather than a few years. The added cost represents quality which means more lasting service. Selling costs are governed by production costs. You pay more for quality in Shades and Draperies just as for any other commodity, but when you do you get longer, more satisfactory service. We handle differently priced Shades and Draperies to meet the public demand, but we honestly know Good Shades and Draperies \ Are Always Less Expensive! R.W.

HOMEOWNERS SEE TO GUTTER REPAIRS With the near approach of spring, home-owners arc reminding themselves of the need for giving attention to the gutters and downspouts to take care of the spring rains which will wash away much of the grime of wintry days, Harry Kscol of Ideal Heating Company, 2437 Central Ave., pointed out. The freezing temperatures of winter often swell the joints of tinning about a house und necessitate the attention of an experienced tinner, Escol said. Urges Action “The house-owner who wants to make the most of his investment will not wait until his gutters and tinwork is in shreds, but lie will see to it that proper attention is given to these details. “Many times lack of repairs on the tinwork of a liomse will mean a serious loss to otmc parts of the house. Let a leak gutter pass water along the sides of the house or drip down some other part of the house, it may rot out the wood and result in repairs. It pays to look after tinwork. • “All gutters should be cleaned out after the winter has deposited a generous amount of soot and dirt. The tin should be brushed carefully, too, and given a coat of paint to preserve the metal from the weather. Use Copper “Some home-owners prefer to use copper for their gutters and downspouts. We are able to supply guttering, downspouts and other metal work in good grades of copper or galvanized iron. “We are also prepared to reroof old houses, laying either roll roofing or composition shingles over the old shingles or removing the old shingles and applying the roofing directly to the sheeting. We handle Flint and Kote and Certainteed roofing. “A word to the wise is sufficient about tilling and roofing repairs. Many instances can lie cited where an investment of $1 resulted in saving later expenditures of $2 for repairs.” lIILE INSURANCE EXPANDS IN CITY The experience fit California in changing from abstracting to title insurance in real estate transactions has demonstrated clearly during the last five years, the value and efficiency of this more progressive method. Speed in closing transactions, securing loans, etc., has taken the place of time wastage. Money has been saved and property is absolutely safeguarded. This same satisfactory situation has developed in St. Louis. Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Louisville, and the entire State of Pennsylvania, which have all accepted title insurance as preferable in many ways to abstracting of years ago. According to J. E. Morrison, sales director of the Title Insurance Department of the Union Title Company, time and again real estate transactions have been held up in Indianapolis for no other reason than

Architectual Solution

New Double House Design

Aii interesting, architectual solution for tlie ‘‘double-house” design problem lias been worked out effectively by Thornton & Rodecker, architects, 658 Fairfield Ave., in a house built by T.imllry & Helllckson, builders, at Fifty-Second St. and Park Ave. The house is a two-story buff tone stucco of splendid lines. Half-porch effects are built, affording entrance on botli Park and Fifty-Second St. The building is of modified English design. The roof is of brown and green Richardson composition shingles, furnished by Ralph R. Reeder & Sons. Shutters of dull brown stain lend English atmosphere to the exterior. Each Complete Each of the sections of the house have a living room, dining room, hall and kitchen on the first floor, and a master-bedroom, guest bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. The floors throughout the house are of dark oak. The svoodwork is of black walnut finish in the living rooms. The living room has papered walls in imitation sand-stone finish of light buff. The woodwork trim Is narrow. At the end of the living room is a rustic stone fireplace of attractive design which completes atmosphere for the room. Back of the living room is a stairway with a wrought-iron grill effect. The dining room is spacious, with a large built-in cabinet for dishes. The tiled top of the cabinet afford a place for potted plants. The floor is of dull red Dutch tile, laid in gray mortar, lending a colorful tone. The walls are of the same buff stonefinish. The woodwork is of dark walnut. A pretty bay window has been built into the room. Dull the overemphasizing of minor or unimportant technicalities. “But Indianapolis is fast realizing the need for title insurance,” said Mr. Morrison, “and I predict that it will be a part of practically every real estate transaction consummated in this city.” Oil Humes* The Cabinet Fnrnare Berner la auto-matic—-that la.

polychrome electrical fixtures have been installed to harmonize with the English atmosphere. Well Lighted The kitchen is well-lighted and ventilated. Large builtin cabinets are features of the kitchen, including a built-in refrigerator with outside icing facilities. Each section of tlie double-house has a large master bedroom, which has two closets and a dressing alcove. The bedrooms are artistically papered in flowered designed wallpaper, and have stippled woodwork finishes. The bathrooms have tiled floors, built-in tubs, modern, standard hath fixtures and equipment, the rooms being finished in white enamel. The house is heated by two warm air furnaces. A gravity system for soft water is installed, which brings the cistern water to the taps without pump pressure. 1 HOOVER PREDICTS BOOM Secretary Herbert Hoover predicts a large amount of public construction work for 1927. With the largest volume of construction during 1920 ever known, he points out, some construction in advance of immediate needs may bringg on a slackening, but such results will be compensated, he insists by assurance of a larger amount of public building this year. .MANY NEW BUILDINGS According to the Boston News Bureau, approximately $6,800,000,000 was invested in new buildings during 1926. The estimate indicates 1920 54-as the most active year in history. $400,000,000 In excess of $6,400,000,000 in 1925, the best previous year. Construction investment for other recont years was: 1923, $4,400,000,000; 1922, $4,200,000,000, and 1921, $3,000,000,000.

It Protects the Widow Home protection to the widow is even more important than it is to most other people. For, commonly enough the home in which she lives forms the hulk of a widow's property. That is why more and more of those to whom widows look for advice are recommending Title Insurance. Without this protection no one can tell when she will have to and -fond her property against a hitherto unknown claimant. Your wife and family arc entitled to this protection. When you deal in real estate include title insurance in the transaction. UNION TITLE COMPANY Indiana’s Largest Title Company, Union Title Telephone Building. U ncoln 8361

The Water You Drink The Water Company does not know when you are going to drink a glass of pure filtered water —consequently it purifies all the water used,'whether for industrial purposes, fire extinguishment or for the baby. Although only one gallon of water out of every 180 gallons supplied is used for drinking purposes, all of it is purified. Do you take advantage of this your health, or do you drink unguarded well water 1 Indianapolis Water Cos.

CINDER OUILDINS BLOCKS FAVORED Wise contractors are finding Straub cinder blocks one of the best “buys" on the material market today,” according to E. W. Klatte, manager of the Straub Cinder Block Company, 555 Century Bldg. “We are proud of the many fine homes and buildings in the city which have our products in them, for in every case contractors who have used Straub cinder blocks have been able to complete their work satisfactory to owners,” said Klatte. Excellent Example •The use of Straub cinder blocks in the construction of the Capitol Avenue M. E. Church addition, a beautiful brick building designed by Clarence T. Myers, Indianapolis architect, is pointed out by Klatte as an example of the modern tendency in securing dependable walls. lie also referred to the Audubon Apartments, built by Theodore B. Brydon, as another example of the use of Straub cinder blocks. “We could cite a long list of houses and buildings in the city where Straub cider blocks have given undoubted satisfaction,” he said. “Straub cinder blocks, although one of the more recent developments in the building material field, here in Indianapolis, are by no means new or untried. For over twelve years they have been used in other localities and investigations by unquestioned authorities show that they are unaffected by time. Economical Means “Straub cinder blocks provide a most economical means of constructing walls, and with no other materials, regardless of cost, is It possible to obtain the many advantages that they give. Straub cinder blocks impart to the home distinct features not obtainable by other forms of construction. Basement svnlls of Straub cinder blocks do not draw dampness from the wet earth outside, and a dry basement, free from the damp and musty odors, can be obtained. Plaster may be applied to exterior walls finished of Straub inder blocks without sweating or dampness. Such walls are fire-safe, afford exceptional insulation and have no depreciation."
