BUILD A CHARMING SUMMER HOME WITHOUT THE FUSS AND ADO OF BUILDING Sounds funny, but consider this— You will be proud of the beauty of your Hodgson House, and certainly quite comfortable in its generous rooms. But above all you will be happy in the ease with which it has sprung up full-grown. Hodgson Houses are built in sections, and shipped to you ready to erect. With- out the aid of costly skilled labor, your Hodgson House is ready to live in almost before you realize it—and you've missed all the fuss and ado, the nagging worries, extra expense and delays of building. Whether your favorite summer spot be seaside or mountains, lakeside or forest—the simplicity of plan, line and contour in a Hodgson House blends gracefully with the surround- ings... a quality that assures you of a charming summer home archi- tecturally ‘‘at rest.” We make Hodgson Houses of the finest materials — weather-proof cedar, selected Douglas fir. The well- known insulating material —Celotex —lines the walls, roof and floors. The Hodgson booklet also pictures and prices fur- nishings, garages, and lawn and garden equipment —bird houses, dog kennels, arbors, poultry-houses, etc. Solid brass hardware, glass door knobs, spacious closets. The sections fit tightly together, held rigid by heavy key-bolts. Violent weather will not shake or disturb a Hodgson House. It will last for years without repairs, and you can enlarge it at any time without spoiling the plan. You may have in mind a large house with spacious living-room, extra baths, servants’ quarters. Or possibly a small hunting or fishing lodge, for yourself and your friends. In our free illustrated booklet you’re sure to find a Hodgson House plan that fits your dream of a summer home.
