House Beautiful's Dosss FEnnY, N. Y. JULIUS GNSCONY, ARCflITECT Here's the-Hidden Sto rrl'About Ihe l95l Poce Setter House

EAcn yeln, House Beautilul Magazine builds a Pace Setter house -presenting the ultimate in design and construction, as measured by current values.

In the I95l Pace Setter, Douglas fir plywood plays a major role. Durable Exterior-type creates the weatherwise board and batten siding . . . the smooth, flush soffits and the attractive breezeway ceilings.

Plywood is especially important in the "hidden" structural features of the house. @PlyScord-the sheathing grade of Douglas fir plywood-adds strength and rigidity to walls and roof, and provides a firm, solid panel backing for interior walls.

Here again, architect Julius Gregory and the editors oL House Beautifil chose plywood for one good reason: It's the finest construction rrloney can buy.

@ PlyScord is o registered grode-trodemork identifying the sheothing grode of Inlerior-type plywood inspected by Douglos Fir Plywood Associqtion (DFPA)
