CLOTHES CLOSETS. THAT, SAVE SPACE

New Telescopic Type of Wardrobe Solves Big Problem. MORE ROOM AT LESS COST , ————— « Device Is Used In Plans for Modern Five-Room Bungalow, Designed to Stand on Narrow Lot By W. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as' Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he Is, without doubt the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only fanclose three-cent stamp for reply. In these times of high prices, every square foot of the modern house has to be put to its best use, and if any scheme can be devised for making one square foot do the work of two, the home builder is the gainer.- We are all keen for holding down building costs as much as possible, yet home builders won’t stand for any cutting down or doing without on home conveniences. Better and more compact building is what is wanted. This is a challenge that has stirred the creative ingenuity of manufacturers of building appliances. They have tackled the problem with gusto, and in many instances have devised some really worth-while improvements. Consider, for example, wardrobes or clothes closets. We all know how fussy the women folks are about having lots of clothes closet space. It seems there can never be quite enough,

no matter how large the house or apartment may be. And when it comes to the small flat and the bungalow, the wail that goes up because of the little, skimpy closets is heard all over the land.

Closets Take Up Much Room.

Now,/ ordinary closets take up an astonishing amount of good space. Look at some floor plans, and it Seems as if almost half the space is given over to dark closets. This, of course, cuts down the size of the useful rooms. There is this queer thing about clothes closets, too. The only part of them that is used is the wall space. Valuable squares of floor surface are fenced off just to provide wall space for hanging up garments. The new telescopic type of wardr

robe solves this clothes closet problem in the logical way. It is an idea that is 'just coming into use in residences, hotels, office buildings, apartments, etc. In designing the bungalow illustrated here, four of. these new telescopic fixture wardrobes are provided for. One is in the front vestibule for coats and hats’;<two double wardrobes are provided in the front bedroom, and one double wardrobe in the rear bedroom. Notice the small amount of space these require. They are only 20 inches deep and each single unit two feet wide; yet each wardrobe containing four square feet of floor space will accommodate from eight to sixteen - suits or gowns (if anyone has that many). An old-style closet to give the same amount of hang-up space would require at least 70 lineal feet of inside walls, which means a closet 4 by 6 feet on the floor. Telescope'Carrier Solves Problem. The detail drawing shows clearly how these wardrobes are arranged. A metal carrier, nickel-finished, is hung from the under side of the hat shelf. From this carriage the suit hangersare suspended. The carriage works ou a telescopic principle—a light pulb brings the whole outfit out into, the room, so that every garment is in

SATURDAY, FRB. 9S, 1»1»-

plain view to be gotten at. All gAinenta are hung on the suit hangers, which keeps them in excellent shape, even though crowded close together. It Is no more work to hang up a suit or gown on the hanger than onto an

ordinary closet hook. At the bottom of each wardrobe is a broad drawer for shoes, etc. The fixtures required are Inexpensive —can be freely used in both new and old buildings. The use of the improved wardrobes in designing this little bungalow Shows how architects and builders are

helped out of tight places very often by using these space-saving wardrobes. This bungalow was to go on a narrow city lot and so had to be kept down to a width of 24 feet. Ample wardrobe, space was required, yet there was no room for ordinary clothes closets. The space-saving wardrobes were provided, and it turns out that they not only do the work much better, but actually from S2OO to S3OO in the cost of the house.

Even Old Shoes Have Value.

The old boots and shoes that are cast into the dustbin have considerable value. They are soaked in water to remove the dirt, and all the nails and threads are picked out and the leather Is reduced to a thick pulp, from which wall papers, screens, etc.,

Closet Plan.

are made. The finer the original quality of leather the better it takes the bronze and old gold of the designs which make these hangings things of beauty. Bookbinders and framemakers klso know the value of this pulp, and carriage builders press it into, sheets which are invaluable for the roofs of the most luxurious vehicles.

Quicksilver in Arizona.

The present exceptional demand for quicksilver in the manufacture of fulminate gives the domestic deposits of this metal particular interest. Deposits recently discovered in the southern part of the Phoenix mountains, ten pailes northeast of Phoenix, Ariz., are described in a short paper prepared by F. C. Schrader, published by the United States geological survey. The deposits are easy of access, and, being near the riel), agricultural region of Salt River valley, are otherwise favorably situated for mining. They are "being exploited on six or more properties or groups of claims, which lie in a belt, about three miles wide.
