AVOID FADS WHICH CUT RESALE. VALUE

“When you build a home, build it as if you were buying an automobile that had to last for the nexi 20 years, W. S. Lowndes, school of architecture director of International Correspondence * Schools, advises. Too, many persons, he says, add

Major considerations should - be simplicity and usefulness, em on insulation, air-condi-tioning, fire-proofing - and quality of materials. He warns against fads and vogueés, pointing out that the long-range trend should be toward building in cutlying, desirable areas, selecting
