American Methods Make Every Home "Fit lor a King"

"Today's small home is really fit for a king," says Bernard B. Barber, chairman of Northern California Homes Foundation. "Once song and story made castles of small homes, extolling the virtues of simple living as a sort of sentimental compensation for lack of luxury. Standards of American living and American methods of production and distribution have made it possibe to build a four-room castle which differs from the forty-room only in size.

"From foundation to roof peak, the finest construction materials go into the low-cost home. The highest architectural talent in the land has contributed to the design services offered by local retail lumber dealers at minimum cost. Research and craftsmanship costing millions have perfected the standard equipment units of heating, refrigeration, plumbing, lighting, for the small home as for the large.

"This is the contribution of industry to democracy-manufacturer and retail dealer working together to give the fine quality which makes for equality. There is no other side to the railroad tracks when the wage earner can build and own a home which will rival the mansion on the hill'

"The home shown here is an outstanding example of a low-cost home desigaed to be any man's castle. It is well planned for every requirement of convenience, with an exterior that lends itself to slight alterations of detail or color combinations to express individuality."
