standard-size door opening. For instance, the 4o-foot and the 36-foot buildings have 16-foot doors which can be placed anywhere the customer desires.

This first page should prove a valuable aid in selling the building.

The second page contains the estimating guide. It is a work sheet for the dealers to use in figuring the materials and price of the building decided upon. A new and different estimating procedure is used here. For purposes of listing costs and material, the building is divided into sections.

Section "A" lists all the materials necessary for the tn'o ends of the building. Board footage and lineal footage figures are given. All the dealers need to do is fill in costper-thousand and extend the figures.

Section "B" lists all the materials necessary for four feet of building length, including the cost of siding, roof trusses and roofing material. Since the building can be any length in multiples of four feet, it is a simple matter to write dorvn the prices in this section and then multiply by the number of four-foot sections necessary for the length of building desired.

Section "C" deals with cost of doors. The first part of Section "C" is a list of materials to be deducted for the door openings. The second part is a list of additional material necessary, such as lintels, casing, doors and door hardn'are. Here again, the total is multiplied by the number of doors desired..

The totals of Sections " A", "8" and "C" are added to the cost of erection and extras for the total price of the building.

Pages three and four contain details of erecting the building. These pages will also be useful as a sales help. The dealer can use them to explain features of the building he is selling, since they show details of framing, bracing, siding, roofing and finishing. They will be especially useful on the job, whether the dealer sells the material for the farmer to erect, has his own crew erect the building, or subcontracts with a builder to have it done.

The procedures are so clearly illustrated on these pages that they can be understood with ease by farmers and carpenters alike.

Pages five and six give complete instructions for precutting truss members and fabricating or assembling half trusses in the yard. Page five gives complete dimensions for pattern members of the truss. After a pattern has lteen made according to these dimensions and several pieces made from each pattern and assembled as a check, the patterns can be used for mass production of truss members. Page six gives easy to follow instructions for truss assembly. As is true on the other pages, the illustrations on page five and six are easilv understood bv vard emploves.
