Before jrou go to a lawyer you have a right to inquire whether or not he has brains enough to punch a hole in snow and whether or not he keeps his word Before you go to a doctor yuu want to know whether he has killed or cured the patients he has treated. When you build your home you have the same right to inquire whether the firm with whom you deal ia responsible or not. There are but three great events in life: Birth, establishment of home and death. A man's happiness in life depends upon his home; the nation's greatness in history depends upon the home. Home in one form or another is the great object of life. Everybody some day whether in the near or distant future dreams of the home he will build a home that will reflect the personality of the family, and embody their own ideas of what their home should be. It is a commendable ambition, for the home has a wonderful influence, both in the building of character and in our attitude toward our work and !if-j ia general. The man who builds homes doe.4 su, tfreat service to his country as the man who builds a battleship. One makes the home the other protects it. The nation's greatest work is the housing of its people, because the people are the nation. Out mite of service is the housing of the peopU "It is better to give than to receive"; better to build than to destroy. S' when it comes to building your home, think of us and the service we can give you. We call attention to a few of Lebanon's architect jobs for which we hate furnished the material and done the millwork. Each of the above buildings was planned and superintended by the leading architects of Indian-

apulis who are extremely critical in the selection and workmanship of the materials used. It is a" matter of pride to us to have every item of material furnished and every bit of millwork done to pass the critical inspection of the foremost architects of the state. When high paid architects who are strangers to the firm who furnish the material and who are paid by the builder to see that none but the best material is used and none but the highest grade of millwork is supplied, when every item of material and millworK that is supplied is accepted by them it is proof to you that we are the ones who should furnish yours. The hen that lays the egg has a right to cackle. Moreover all this material was furnished in direct competition with Iudiancpclts and other lumber yards on quality, service and price. The fact that many of the keenest and best business men of this community have favored us by selecting us to furnish their building materials, and the fact that these materials and prices have b'en (). K'd. by the leading architects of the state is conclusive proof to you that you need look no further than our yard for the materials for your home. If these shrewd business men could have purchased better material and service at a eheajier price at Chicago or elsewhere they would have done it. TWO BIG LUMBER t ARIlS Wc have two big lumber yards in Boone County Lebanon and Thorntown -and both have complete electric planing mills. We have our own dry kiln that will hold a car load of lumber all our finish is kiln dried. We make all our millwork ourselves, so that you get your home finished in any kind of wood or in any design you desire, and you can get it quick sudden service. We can furnish complete home or barn bills from cither Lebanon or Thorntown. When we make something for your home it fit.

AS TO OUR STOCK We expect a big year and have on hands the largest stock of lumber and building materials of all kinds ever carried in Boone County. All our stock is the highest grade of material approved by the leading architects and builders. We carry the best of everything in its line Atlas Portland Cement, Reynolds' Asphalt Shingles, Standard Varnishes and Stains, Capital City Paints, U. S. and Twentieth Century Plaster, Ivory and Kelley, Island Lime, Red Cedar Shingles from Washington, Giant Fir from Oregon, White Sugar Pine from Idaho, Clear Red Wood Siding from California, Short Leaf Pine Finish from Arkansas, Yellow Poplar from Tennessee, Cipress, the wood eternal, from Iuisiana, Birch from Wisconsin and good old White Oak from Boone County. All these materials are in our yards waiting to be woven into a home for you. But like words in a dictionary waiting to be woven into a beautiful poem or useful advertisement they are useless until they are whipped into harmony by the magic touch of men who do things. We buy lumber and coal in train loads, and nails, glass and asphalt roofing, paints, etc., in carloads and they come direct from factory and mill to you with only one freight charge. I-ast year, alone, we received three hundred and five ear loadu of material. This would make a train over three miles long and would require nine engines to pull it. This volume staggers those who do not know or realize it, but it can be proven by the records of the freight offices entering this city and Thorntown. Moreover Dunn & Bradstreet's credit rating guide gives us a credit rating of a quarter of a million dollars. With such volume of businent and financial responsibility, we a phone-order house, have as great a buying power as most mail-order houses. And we have the undisputed advantage of one freight rate from forest to you.

AS TO Ol'U ABILITY TO SERVE YOU Our salesman, John Hesthrington has been helping builders with their plans and materials for fourteen years at this yard. He can draw any kind of a plan you want and help you with your problems. Our yard manager, Urb Weitzel, is a practical mechanic, who built in person many of Lebanon's finest houses, among which are the homes of Joseph A. Coona, John Hutchings, Dr. Williams, etc. Our mill foreman, Charlie Martin, Is a graduate mechanic, who has been at this mill for ten years. He is always glad to accommodate you with quick sen-ire and most efficient millwork. All these men and many others who know what they are talking about are here at our office to gladly help you, free of charge, on any building problems you may have. Our office and our men are chuck full of, and bubbling over with, the latest building suggestiona. Use them. We are at your service and will try our best to please you. Get our mammoth 200-page free catalog of building plans for houses, barns, garages, hen houses, cribs, machinery sheds or cow stables. We furnish free blue print plans and typewritten specifications for any building shown in our catalogs. Or, if you have a plan from somewhere else we will not only sell you all the building material for it as cheap as anybody in the country anywhere, but we will take a personal interest to see that you get what you ought to have and know where and how to use it when you get it. Or, if you have in mind something you wish to build we have a courteous and efficient draftsman in our office who will draw or alter any plan to suit your taste. Lumber is the cheapest commodity on the market today. One chicken large enough to fry will now buy a bale of shingles. It never could do that before. Lumler is not used in war and has remained low in price. After the war it will go skyward in price on account of reconstruction in Europe. GET BUSY NOW. SEE US.
