| Is Designed to Look Expensive
‘By DEAN H. ROBINSON ‘Thi§ week's small home might be considered an economy house because of the wood siding and the fact that there is no basement, but the little extras the architect has added such as the two built in outdoor flowers boxes,
‘the picture windows, and the at-
tractive back porch all make it look. pretentious and expensive,
The interior is well planned for convenience and efficiency. As
- you enter through the protected
front door you will find a coat closet on the left and an attractive shelving arrangement that you could put your prized knickknacks on, or you could leave the shelves open for an attractive argFangement of potted plants. The living and dining rooms show influence of open planning and yet the dining area is definitely tied in with the kitchen. The kitchen part of the utility area is U-shaped and has a beau-, tiful corner picture window which will make this a light and airy place to work in. Next Is a sforage room, always good in x no-| basement house, and the laun-| dry and heater room. The two bedrooms are at one end of the house and both have jarge picture windows, ventilation, and wardrobe type| closets with sliding doers, The den has a picture window

Panel Window Gives Two-Pane Glass Wide Uses
Folks out ‘shopping for a new : home nowadays are going to find &
a revolutionary change in win@ows as the result of a design trend that is ‘expected to spread the construction industry this fal. ? The biggest change, according fo John Cox, building consultant of Libbe ns-Ford Glass Com-~ Y, is the to double-pane sulating glass for windows all around the house, instead of just for picture windows or window walls, Now double- glazing is used in bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms as well as living rooms. . This type of glazing, previously regarded by some builders as racticable only for higher priced omes, has been put within the reach of buyers of modest means by a new concept of window depign and construction, Mr. Cox #xplained. » » ¥

Builders also are_ finding that! °
economies lie in the standardiza-| tion and flexibility of the panel windows, said Mr. Cox. Only two sizes of glass units are’ required, | one for fixed windows and the other for ventilating windows. » ” » THE PANEL SYSTEM has revolutionized the placement of windows i» bedrooms, most builders say. Old type double-hung win-| dows have given way to the new! style which are placed four to five!

more privacy and more wall space for furniture.

The windows are easily screened.
