HIDDEN PHONE CONDUIT SHOWN
Indiana Bell Display to Point
Out Advantages in Building.
The desirability of built-in conduits for concealed telephone wiring in new homes will be demonstrated in the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. booth at the Home Show. The display has been designed to explain the simplicity of -conceal-
ing wires; how such facilities improve the home’s beauty; and that modern building methods make ad-
| vance installation necessary if wires
are to be concealed satisfactorily and economically. Telephone conduit goes in easily and costs little while the house is under construction, the company says. The inexpensive pipe or tubing, through which the wires run, is placed inside the walls from basement to upper floors. Ore or two lengths usually are adequate for the average home, each telephcne outlet costing about the same as an electric light outlet. Advance planning does much to preserve a new home’s- attractiveness. Conduits can be planned so as te eliminate exposed wires on baseboards and moldings and the need for cutting through walls or floors later. Wall insulation, fire-stops, offset partitions and many modern building materials-9ften block up the spaces in walls and under floors, making it impossible to conceal telephone wires after the home is completed. Built-in conduit provides a clear and protected channel through all obstructions, concealing the wires for present service and assuring quick and easy installation of additional telephones, if desired. The Indiana Bell offers assistance of its “Architects’
the and
i| Builders’ Service” without charge in
aiding home owners to include this feature in. their plans.

LOOK TO FUTURE,| APPRAISERS SAY
‘10 Commandments’ Warn Of Pitfalls to Avoid In Planning.
When home planning is begun, the far-off future value of the home is often forgotten. - It is possible that the home way serve several generations; the family may outgrow it; a transfer of the father’s business to some other city may call for the home’s disposal, or economic changes may dictate a smaller or larger structure. To save families from pitfalls which may ruin the home’s longterm desirability, the Society of Residential Appraisers has issued this list of “ten commandments”: 1. Do’t build too pretentious a house on a cheap lot or vice versa. The ratio of house to land value should tend toward not less than 3 to 1 and not more than 7 or 8 to 1. Errors like this are common in boom periods of building and subdivision activity, Remember Topography
2. Don’t put a squatty, low house on a low piece of ground, or a tall, thin house on the crest of a hill See that architectural plans suit the topography. 3. Don’t put a large house on a
small lot, nor set the house too close}
to the street when you have a deep lot. One of the great advantages of home ownership is availability of air, open space, some yard for gardening. 4. Don’t build a garage detached from the house, and by all means provide an entrance to the attached garage from the inside of the house. 5. Don’t plan the exterior first and then force the interior to fit the outside plan. This often is the origin of the poorly laid-out house, an uneconomic use of the space,
Avoid Cheap Products
6. See that cheap or out-of-date produets and equipment are not in a house that is otherwise well-built and modern. 7. Don’t have non-matching exteriors and interiors, as to quality and materials. 8. Provide a convenient space in the kitchen for the installation of a mechanical refrigerator, and avoid installation of antiquated heating systems without automatic control. 9. Have windows, doors, and radi+ ators so placed that the normal amount and type of furniture can be arranged tastefully and easily in the rooms. Watch the location of the light plugs so that most modern electric equipment can be used easily. 10. Allow for closet space on the first floor and for ample closet space in connection with the bedrooms.
HILLSDALE PIONEERS DRIVE-IN NURSERY 3
The Hillsdale Landscape Co., according to J. R. Riddle, company cfficial, pioneered the drive-in nursery in Indianapolis. The company operates a branch nursery at the Allisonville Road and 46th St. and last year opened this new type of market. The company has built a lath house this year that offers full protection to plants before they are sold. Company officials say that in. many cases plants offered for sale either are too dry, from being
kept indoors, or too burnt or ‘with-
‘| ered, from being outside.
The new house is designed to keep the plants fresh, by keeping them in peat moss beds. Among the plants displayed are types of shrubs evergreens and such trees as fruit and mountain ash, magnolia, red bud, dogwood and others. Perennials and roses are grown outside and can be sold direct from the gardens for replantings. The, interior of the sales building has been remodeled. Seeds, fertilizers, spray materials, s small garden tools, garden ornaments and potteries are carried.

‘WE WILL BE GLAD TO ASSIST YOU
In planning for telephone conduit. There Is no charge or obligation. Just call the Telephone Company and’ask - for “Architects’ end Builders’ Service.”
o If you're building or buying a new home,’ be sure to specify Telephone Conduit so that all wires for both present and possible future telephone service
may be permanently concealed and protected.
It's a simple matter to provide conduit — through which the telephone wires run—at the ti struction. Sections of inexpensive pipe or flexible tubing, placed inside the walls from basement to desired locations on upper floors, will do the job easily, neatly, and at very small cost.
Many modern building methods make it virtually impossible to “fish” wires through completed partitions. Conduit, installed in advance, does away with exposed wiring on baseboards and moldings— makes it unnecessary to drill through walls al d floors.
Remember —telephone conduit snstalled now saves
“trouble later . . . and helps to preserve the beauty
of a new home.
