Thursday, October 9, 1930 pecially be it for a home in the resiâ€" dential section. What may appear as undesirable topography. may have wonderful possibilities for landscapâ€" ing that only the trained eye of the landscape architect may visualize. Should Examine Titles Titles to the property should be exâ€" amined and descriptions checked. The plans and specifications must be preâ€" pared, and constitutes a yery importâ€" ant step. Secure the services of a competent architect in formulating your plans. They are posted in the essentials that are best fitted for the type of buildâ€" ing under consideration. Be sure that you understand every detail of, the plan, so there will be no costly changâ€" es after construction is started. After plans and specifications have been definitely decided upon, bids should be asked for, and it is at this point where Messrs. Hokumâ€"and Bunk must be eliminated. â€"These two felâ€" lows are always on the job, usually with the lowest bid and flattering promises, that make you ~wonder "how they can do it".in view of the other figures you have. The lowest bidder may and often does prove to be the most costly in the long run, and the savings you hoped to make are turned into a deficit and you. will find yourself in the "red" instead of otherwise; . You may specify the best of materials and workmanship, but it goes for naught if the job is placed in the hands of an unscrupulous conâ€" tractor who, as a general rule emâ€" ploys low grade labor, Cheap classes of material and poor workmanship usually are close neighbors and conâ€" stitute the stock in trade of the bidâ€" 17 years‘ experience ‘O 8.

One Method Only There is only one method open if you would have a completed job that embodies permanence, low maintenâ€" ance cost and complete satisfaction, and that is to employ only those whose reputation is established beâ€" yond question. If you are not familâ€" jar with such men or firms, several ways to acquaint yourself with them are open to you: Consult your bankâ€" er, real estate board, chamber of comâ€" merce, or the builders‘ association, The fact that a building contractor is a member of these organizations is quite in itself sufficient evidence that his reputation is good, otherwisc he could not be an associate member. Important also is the fact that a contractor member of a builders‘ asâ€" sociation is pledged to carry out plans and specifications to the letter and renders a service free from entangling arguments with other trades, as all differences are amicably settled thru the medium of arbitration, thus reâ€" ducing costly delays to a minimum. or eliminating them entirely. Conâ€" tractors affiliated with such an assoâ€" ciation employ only the best skilled home labor, thus benefitting the comâ€" munity as a whole. Good Time to Build Build or remodel now might well be taken as good advice. The supply of material and capable mechanics at this time enables the contractor to select the best. This is a strong arguâ€" ment that reacts in favor of the prosâ€" pective builder. During the rush peâ€" riods, these factors are not in eviâ€" dence, and the contractor is often forced to employ help that does not always augur well for the best reâ€" sults. o A reliable contractor is rightly zealâ€" ous of his reputation, and will under no cireumstances allow himself{ to beâ€" come engaged in a battle of low and unscrupulous bidding. His motto of fair dealing as measured by the goldâ€" en rule should have your stamp of apâ€" proval. Avoid financial embarrassment by keeping within your means, arrangâ€" ing to have sufficient funds to carry the job to completion. Before signâ€" ing your name to a contract have it understood how and when payments are to be made, and when you sign an agreement be sure you live up to it. Open and frank discussion will never hurt anybody, and work will: progress rapidly, without bothersome delays, harmony will prevail and good honest 100% value building will reâ€" sult, one of which you can be proud, and one that is a credit to you, the contractor and: to the community, A Good Rule It is a good rule to engage a reliâ€" able local contractor, as he is familâ€" iar with all conditions in the comâ€" munity. He will employ local labor, engage only reliable subâ€"contractors, as he knews what they can do; and above all, he is a substantial member of the community and is on hand to adjust anything which might develop after building is completed. + | The comfort and feeling of indeâ€" pendence that results from home ownâ€" ership is nothing short of a blessing. Civic pride is enhanced, your credit and prestige is greatly strengthened, making.life for you and your associâ€" ates more worth while and your comâ€" ! munity a better place in which to live.
