To build a home right nothing gives you a better start than to have a complete and accurate set of plans, setting forth each detail and showing every angle and feature in their correct proportion. About Plans: For the benefit of those who would like to build any of the houses shown in this book, we will furnish you complete working plans, blue prints, and specifications and all necessary details so any carpenter of ordinary intelligence can erect the same. The price of plans are made very nominal, so as to be in the reach of every one. We sell hundreds of plans and therefore do not depend on any individual sale to make our profit, as the original design, of any one house costs us many times the cost printed. We build houses from these same plans that we sell you and they must be right. If you care for more than one set we will furnish you with duplicate sets at $2.50 per set; duplicate sets are needed when you are obtaining a building loan or you wish to put away one set for evidence in case the structure is destroyed by fire, also when you let building to a contractor to build."
