Model Home ot Fclir Shows Advontoge Of Lumber Yord Construction

Erection of a model Lu-Re-Co Home as part of the Farmstead Project at the New York State Fair grounds at Syracuse maiked the beginr.ring ofa long-range promotion scheduled to continue the year around and for a period of several years. The house, which is constructed of Lu-Re-Co compollents-locally manufactured roof trusses, exterior oanels and interior partitions. isa version of a Women's bo.tg..r. House, -odifi"d for rural living.

Twenty franchised Lu-Re-Co dealers, retail lumber dealers c,f New York state, are sponsoring the project in cooperation with the Lumber Dealers Research Council, Washington. D.C.. and the Northeastern Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Rochester, New York.

While the Fair itself closed on September 6, the Farmstead Project, a model farm unit with various buildings and operating equipment, will remain open to the public the year around. Only tl-re sl-rell of the Lu-Re-Co house has been built this year, so that visitors may examine the Lu-Re-Co system of building components manufactured by local independent retail lumber dealers under ideal conditions, trucked a short distance to the site and erected in a matter of hours.

Representatives of the spottsoring Lu-Re-Co dealers emphasize to the public the advantages of pre-assembled building components in terms of fast, more precise construction which saves time and mouey compared to construction by individual pieces of lumber.

Added advar.rtages of local manufacture and distribution of Lu-Re-Co components over the distant "house factory" ir.rclude less transportation costs, less exposure of parts to the weather, and the home buyers' opportunity of personal contact with the manufacturer who may well be a member of the same community.

Also explained is Lu-Re-Co's great flexibility in the adaptation of modular components to a great variety of house styles and floor plans, incorporating indiviclual tastes and requirenrents. Farm buildings, garages, warehouses, motels, storage buildings and other specialized structures-are being built today with Lu-Re-Co components, a further indication of the flexibility of the system.
