The cost of this home is about $7,000 solid brick. It could be built for about $6,500 in frame.
Would you do as one man did, and pay the difference of $500 in order to have a BRICK house?
Here's what the owner says: "It's the best investment I could ha-ie possibly made. In 10 years I will save $800.00 in painting and insurance
alone, not counting depreciation, fuel saving and other economies.
"Had I put the $500 into a savings bank, it would have earned in 10 years $225. As it was, I invested this $500 in a better home - -a brick home
—and this $500 so invested will have earned, in 10 years, $1,200.00, or nearly five times as much as if I had put it in a savings bank."

A BRICK HOME FOR THE
COST OF A FRAME
"YOUR NEXT HOME"
A recent development in brick laying known as the
Ideal wall, which reduces the cost of brick wall construc-
tion one-third, makes it possible today to build a brick
home at no greater cost than frame. Thus brick con-
struction means a still greater saving.
Ideal walls can be built of any standard common or
face brick or combination of the two. They make an
absolutely dry, fireproof home.
No special shapes are required—no furring or lath-
ing. Frost-proof.
Bricklayers lay a greater area of wall per day.
Ideal walls are beautiful. They may be laid in any
bond, any pattern.
