And so -heavenly seemed its qualities of beauty, light and warmth, that Man -reverenced it--ceased wandering and built his abode around its glowing -radiance. - -Through the ages--from the rugged cave, the rough tent of animal skins, -the crude log cabin, down to the Home Beautiful of To-day--home building -has been the strong primal instinct. Men have practiced all the pursuits -of peace and war for those things for which home stands--love, family, -hospitality, security, worship. Indeed, the home building spirit is the -very backbone of civilization. Intelligent, thoughtful men always desire -their families to live the home life, because they know that the best of -physical, mental and moral powers are developed under home's benign -influence. - -Almost the first thought of the Pilgrims after they had landed on -America's new shores was of a home. And so immediately they built -themselves sturdy houses of the straight-shafted pine trees that stood -everywhere about the rugged shores. And some of these homes are still -standing, amazing testimony to the vigor and endurance of wood. - -Today, more than ever before, people are seriously considering how they -shall live. They realize that the dwelling place has a marked influence -upon living and character--that the inspiration of home, next to -religion, is the greatest in life. - -Perforce, many must live part of their lives in the rented house. But -however desirable, no family can ever acquire quite that deep-seated -love and interest for, nor have the incentive to adorn and beautify, a -dwelling place for which they pay toll to a landlord. But when the place -which shelters the family belongs to them, when they know that every -thought and every dollar they put into it is a permanent investment -which pays big dividends in the family happiness and contentment--then -that place, however lowly or humble, becomes truly a home. Naturally -then, the tendency is strongly toward the owned private home. - -The dainty cottage--the inviting semi-bungalow--the comfortable -Colonial--the cosy story-and-a-half--these are the leading types of -homes to-day. And when there is built into them that particular beauty, -and those conveniences--modern sanitation, lighting, ventilation and -heating--that will suit the taste of the individual family, their mode -of living and their pocketbook--then indeed does the dwelling place -become "a thing of beauty and a joy forever". - -Bennett Homes, Better-Built and Ready-Cut, satisfy every desire and -every need of home-lovers--for the dwelling-place which shall possess -charm, convenience and endurance to the greatest extent consistent with -the desired investment. - -[Illustration: =A Better-Built idea--routing (instead of cleating) -stair-stringers for fine workmanship, and accurate fit.=] - - -HOW SCIENCE SOLVED THE HIGH COST OF HOME-BUILDING - -Up to the present, the great drawback to home-building has been the -excessive cost, by the individually-built-house method. - -Plans by experienced architects have been costly; the cost of lumber has -been high; the amount of labor necessary to cut and trim rough and -finished lumber has been a serious item; there have been endless -worries--delays--extra costs; plans have looked good on paper, but have -not worked out well; contractors have been known to be careless about -the quality of the material and of the work on the job. - -What will avoid all the usual waste, delays, disappointments, -and--what will cut the cost of building a home? Science -says--"_simplify_"--"_standardize_"--"_eliminate waste_." - -"_This is the day of brains that plans for thousands_ at a time, instead -of one. Why is it necessary to plan every individual home that is built? -There's a wiser, more economical way. Once the plan for a house has been -tried and proven true, use it many times over; let hundreds of people -divide the cost--let hundreds of people reap the benefit of these -plans." - -"_This is the day of machinery_, the day for producing in tremendous -quantities, thereby accomplishing in minutes that which would consume -hours, days and weeks to achieve by usual methods. After having worked -out plans to the highest point of economy, why not cut the materials by -labor-saving machines _instead of the old hand method_, thereby reducing -labor and waste to a minimum." - - - +==================================+ - | ¶ ALL CHANCES FOR ERRORS AS TO | - | QUANTITY AND QUALITY ARE | - | ELIMINATED BY PURCHASING ALL | - | MATERIALS AT A STATED PRICE FROM | - | ONE COMPANY--FROM BENNETT. | - +==================================+ - - -SCIENCE'S ANSWER IS THE BENNETT-WAY - -The best designs and plans have been produced for hundreds to share the -benefits--a huge modern mill in the heart of the lumber market has been -equipped with labor-and-waste-saving machinery of the latest type--and -YOU, who want to build a home, reap the advantages and savings of the -Bennett-Way in securing one of finer design, greater convenience, and -genuine durability. - -Perhaps right here, it is well to establish the difference between a -Bennett Ready-Cut Home and a portable house. - -The object of the portable system is to produce a building construction -which may be put together to form a temporary shelter--taken apart -again--moved from place to place as desired. Manufacturers of portable -buildings cannot and do not represent their products to be permanent. - -But Bennett Homes, Better-Built and Ready-Cut, are built for permanency. -Once your Bennett Home is completed, there is absolutely no difference -between it and any well constructed home, except, perhaps, that our -designs are more attractive and impressive than the average homes one -sees. - - -HOW RENT-MONEY COUNTS - -This table shows what rent amounts to in ten and twenty years, with six -per cent interest compounded annually, and gives an idea of the value of -the house one can pay for by applying rent toward paying for a home. - - Rent per Month In 10 Years In 20 Years - $ 8.00 $1,265.35 $ 3,531.41 - 12.00 1,898.02 5,279.11 - 17.00 2,688.86 7,504.24 - 20.00 3,163.36 8,828.52 - 25.00 3,954.20 11,035.65 - 30.00 4,745.04 13,242.78 - 35.00 5,535.88 15,449.91 - 50.00 7,908.40 22,071.30 - -[Illustration: =Tonawanda, heart of the Lumber Market. Great lumber-docks -on one side, main trunk-line railroads on the other.=] - - -ATTRACTIVE DESIGNS - -There are more than fifty designs and plans offered on the following -pages. They have been carefully and expertly selected from hundreds -submitted. These designs are not merely dreams of architects or artists. -They are actual houses which have been built, lived in and proven -practical and pleasurable in every detail. In considering a BENNETT -BETTER-BUILT HOME, you are offered a very wide selection of various -styles and sizes, so that you may choose a home that will suit your -particular needs, tastes, locality, and pocketbook. - -In building the Bennett Way you have this genuine advantage--you know, -before you build, just exactly how your home will look after it is -completed. Do you know _that_ when your local architect or contractor -designs your home for you? He may convince you that his design is what -you want, and induce you to accept it, even against your own better -judgment. Though you may not be pleased with the design he has prepared, -nevertheless you accept his ideas rather than submit to the additional -expense and delay of a change. BENNETT BETTER-BUILT HOMES correspond in -every detail with the actual photographs shown in this catalog. Should -the design you select require some slight alterations, we shall be very -glad to make such changes, if practical, at actual cost. - - -ECONOMY IN DRAFTING - -The first of a series of savings for you starts in our drafting room. - -It is quite necessary for the architect to charge a considerable fee for -his drawings, for he must pay expenses and a profit. The drawings for -our houses are even more elaborate, and the first cost of production is -naturally much greater. Yet there is this gain for you: when the -drawings are once made, hundreds of blue prints are made from them at -practically a negligible cost. Therefore, we furnish you with blue -prints from our drawings _absolutely free_ of fees or of any charge. - -[Illustration: =Two large schooners unloading a giant shipment at the -spacious Bennett Docks.=] - -[Illustration: =Millions of feet of choice lumber air-drying for your and -other fine homes.=] - - -ECONOMY IN STANDARDIZATION - -Next we help you realize a decided saving through standardization of -materials. - -In designing an attractive home, a professional architect can give -little thought to standard lengths or shapes of material. Our Bennett -Better-Built designers, however, put forth both thought and effort -toward producing, not only an attractive home, but one which is -economical of rough and finished lumber, millwork, etc. - -For instance, there are certain standard lengths and widths of lumber, -and certain standard styles and sizes of windows, doors, window frames, -door frames--in fact of every kind of millwork. Standard items can be -manufactured in tremendous quantities at very low cost while special -styles and sizes require readjustment of machinery, and the waste -(sometimes 33 and 1-3 per cent) of standard-sized materials to meet -special requirements. We manufacture such an extensive variety of styles -and sizes in building materials of so many kinds, that an appearance as -artistic as you may wish can easily be produced without resorting to the -expense of special materials. - -Another important application of standardization lies in the spacing of -windows and the like. Insofar as appearance is concerned, 6 inches one -way or another usually makes but little difference in the spacing of -windows. But from the standpoint of economy, it is decidedly better to -have the spacing in even feet. For instance, windows spaced 12 or 14 -feet apart permit the use of 12 or 14 foot standard length boards, -without waste; whereas, if the windows were spaced 12' 6" apart, it -would necessitate the cutting up of a 14' or 16' board with a waste on -every board that goes to make up the full height of the window. - - -ECONOMY IN USE OF LABOR-SAVING MACHINERY - -By the use of gigantic, powerful machinery, we save you a large -percentage of labor cost, and inaccuracies that always waste hand-cut -lumber. - -The prices quoted in our catalog furnish you with material sufficient to -complete every listed detail of the home which you select. In addition, -it covers the cost of cutting every piece of material so that when it -reaches its destination, it is ready to nail. There will be no wasting -of time waiting for "something forgotten that must be ordered," waiting -for one man to cut and fit a part before another can go ahead. - -[Illustration: Machines sawing and resawing lumber for homes--saving -hours and days over hand methods.] - -You cannot possible go astray, because--as we said before--our blue -prints are thorough and complete, showing the exact location of each and -every piece of material. It would not be difficult to erect the entire -building with only the blue prints at hand. Nevertheless, to facilitate -the work, we furnish a bill of material, itemizing each and every piece, -and instructing where it should be placed. - -As a further safeguard against error and confusion, we include a set of -instructions written by men who have had years of actual experience in -constructing houses. - - -ECONOMY IN CARPENTRY - -The entire time consumed by the carpenter for calculating the best plan -for framing, has been eliminated. This time is entirely saved, because -with our Bennett Better-Built system, the planning is completely done in -our office before the material is shipped, and our _Special Notch -System_ makes the work speedy. - -As you have watched work on a house, have you ever stopped to figure how -very much of a workman's time was spent in first measuring, then -cutting, then trying and perhaps refitting the material--all this is -against the very small amount of time required for fastening and -nailing? Well, we save you all that fuss and waste by furnishing the -material not merely cut, but cut to fit more accurately than hand labor -ever could. - -Immediately upon receipt of your order, the blue-prints of the design -you have selected, the bill of material and a set of instructions are -mailed to you. At that same time, a duplicate bill of material is sent -into our mill, with instructions to start cutting. Within a few hours -the material for the frame of your house is completed--which means that -the work which would have required many days of expensive labor on the -job, is accomplished in hours by our machines--more economically, more -accurately, many times over. - - -ECONOMY IN MILLWORK - -All Bennett Better-Built doors, windows, door frames, window frames, -door trim, window trim and mouldings are manufactured in -quantities--therefore at a very low cost of production, of which you -derive the benefit. Powerful and precise machines saw and resaw, rout -stair stringers, mortise, and fit doors and windows, cut and shape -woodwork, smooth and sand all sorts and sizes of lumber--with a quality -of fine workmanship in dozen and score lots impossible by any other -method. - -And remember--any saving in labor must be considered a double saving, -because the more time required for the erection of your home, the longer -you are paying out money for labor on the new and for rent where you are -living. - - -ECONOMY IN WATER TRANSPORTATION OF RAW MATERIALS - -The docks of the Ray H. Bennett Lumber Company, Inc., are located the -best of any in North Tonawanda. You will realize the importance to you -of location, when we tell you that the largest lumber steamers coming -down the great lakes, direct from the saw mills, land at our docks. Thus -we are enabled to take advantage of lake-steamer cargo-shipments, and -save something for you. - -[Illustration: Thousands of doors--absolutely clear grade--knotless, and -beautifully grained.] - -You will also appreciate that we, as buyers of cargoes of lumber -totalling millions of feet, are entitled to a lower price than the buyer -of a carload of lumber containing only about twenty thousand feet. This -impresses the fact that we are in a position to furnish you better -quality materials at lower prices. We handle lumber in huge -quantities--our stock sizes are secured in big units--therefore, our -goods are manufactured and handled at a much lower cost. - -You can easily see that our ideal location for the securing of our raw -materials means large savings to you. We have enormous stocks on hand at -all times and are ideally equipped for fast work. - - -ECONOMY IN EXCEPTIONAL SHIPPING FACILITIES - -North Tonawanda, N. Y., where the Bennett Plant is located, is one of -the largest lumber markets in the United States. This is due to the fact -that North Tonawanda is a made-to-order center for distribution. Its -shipping facilities are conceded to be unsurpassed in the country. -Practically all of the great railway systems are in direct connection, -enabling us to give you the remarkable service--the vitally important -quick shipments--for which we are famed--in which we excel. - - -ECONOMY IN BENNETT BULK BUYING - -We have, as yet, made little mention of our vast purchasing power, nor -of the fact that you are purchasing your material at wholesale prices. - -[Illustration: Window warehouse--thousands of dollars' worth of finely -constructed frames ready for glazing.] - -We purchase, annually, many millions of feet of material directly from -the saw mills, thereby eliminating unnecessary expenses and profits. We -buy at rock-bottom prices, less all possible discounts for quantity, for -prompt payment, etc. - -[Illustration: One of our modern Planers--helping to put the celebrated -finish on Bennett interior woodwork.] - -And then our giant purchases are brought by large lake steamers to our -docks and unloaded directly into our yard. On one side our material -comes in; it moves almost automatically through our yards to the cutting -and finishing mills; it leaves them on the railroad side of our -property. With our advantages, the cost of handling is therefore reduced -to a minimum which only a few of the largest establishments can hope to -equal. - - -BENNETT ADVANTAGES--In a Nutshell - -1. Designs and plans proven the "best" of this country's architectural -and practical experts. - -2. Elimination of architects' and contractors' fees. - -3. Materials from the heart of the lumber market--brand-new, bright -stock. - -4. Saving of waste through standard sizes, lengths, shapes. - -5. Ready-cut, ready-to-erect features as against cut-and-try on the job -method. - -6. Quantity production of standardized millwork. - -7. Transportation and handling charges minimized. - -8. Huge buying facilities. - -9. Services of an organization, celebrated for its financial strength, -for ability and for integrity. - -10. All-in-all a real HOME for you and yours at a price that represents -the greatest possible value for the money you elect to put into it. - -In every paragraph of these specifications you will note how thoroughly -we have planned for strength and endurance in the construction of your -home--how we employ only the best grades of lumber, accurately cut and -fashioned by the most precise workmanship. - -In the first place, please understand the importance of our notched -construction. See the photograph in the lower corner of next page. The -frames of our houses are a great improvement over the common practice, -both in matters of accuracy of fit, of strength and rigidity. The notch -method is considered costly when done by hand labor, but it is always -considered desirable. The Bennett methods of doing by machines in -minutes what would take hours or days by the cut-on-the-job way, gives -you extra quality without extra cost. - -Another thing we wish you to note is the double and triple strength of -joists and studding, where extra stresses are sure to be met, or -absolute rigidity is an essential. See the three studs at the corners as -shown by the photo of "notch" construction. - -Notice that we furnish bridging for floor joists; that our stairs are -cut accurately, as in the best houses, instead of using mere nailed-on -cleats. - -Notice how we select and match interior woods for beauty of grain--how -we sand them so they will take a most beautiful finish. - -Notice that the outside of our houses--door and window frames, and -siding,--is of _Redwood_, celebrated for its extraordinary long life, -and so approved by the U. S. Government experts. - -Notice our hardware and such items as kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, -medicine cabinets, even building paper, and lastly notice our double -flooring for both floors. - -In every last item, Bennett Homes are truly Better-Built--all in all you -will get a most attractive, most livable, most enduring dwelling place, -giving you a dollar for dollar value that is unequalled in the lumber -market. - - - - -General Specifications - - -DIMENSIONS - -All rooms show =actual= inside measurements and not from outside of -building to center of inside partition or from center of partition to -center of partition, as is sometimes given. - -PLANS - -One set is furnished with each house. They are so complete in detail, -that if carefully followed, it is impossible to go wrong. Reversed plans -will be furnished without extra cost. - -MATERIALS IN GENERAL - -All lumber for Bennett "Better-Built" Homes is shipped directly from -enormous stocks in our yards. It is all thoroughly seasoned, and -guaranteed equal to or better than the grades specified. Thorough -seasoning means less waste and consequently lower freight charges. It -also means that shrinkage, bound to occur with green lumber, has -occurred before the lumber is cut for your home. - -[Illustration] - -QUANTITY OF MATERIALS - -An unqualified guarantee is contained on your order blank that we will -furnish material to entirely complete your home in accordance with the -following general specifications and with the particular specifications -contained on the individual page of photograph and plans. - -BASEMENT FRAMES AND SASH - -Are not included in your order unless illustration shows siding or -shingles to the grade lines, because these are used when the foundation -is laid. We plan to have your material on the ground as soon as the -foundation is finished and has had sufficient time to set. If we were to -furnish basement frames and sash, it would be necessary either to ship -them by express, creating additional expense, or it would be necessary -to delay the foundation work until the lumber arrived. We cannot see -where enough benefit is derived to make up for this additional expense -and delay. If, however, you decide to have us furnish them, we will ship -them according to your instructions. - -FOUNDATION WALL PLATE OR BOND TIMBER - -2 in. × 6 in.

This is another important item of -Bennett quality. No. 1 Hemlock. - -ROOF SHEATHING - -1 in. × 4 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced one side, cut to fit. We furnish -this material in quantities to allow for 2-1/4 in. spacing, as is common -practice, when shingles are used. In case you decide to use Asphalt -Slate Surfaced Roofing, or Asphalt S. S. Shingles, it is necessary to -lay the sheathing tightly together. We furnish dressed and matched -sheathing for this purpose at a slight additional cost. - -PORCH FLOOR JOISTS - -2 in. × 6 in.

See the low sloped roof, wide bracketed eaves, grouped -windows, built-up rail, shingled side walls, a true California bungalow -and a favorite in that country which has become a model for all the -world. The front porch is an unusually pretty feature. What an -attractive departure the balusters and timbered effect are from the -usual combination of rail and balusters. The bay window is just what is -needed to break up the wall space and adds greatly to the general -pleasing effect. Picture this bungalow on your lot, side walls stained a -light seal brown, moss green for the roof, with pure white trimming, -shrubbery nestled along the front and corners of the porch. Wouldn't you -be proud to say "This is my home"? Often an attractive exterior will be -found to conceal a poor arrangement of rooms. This is not the case with -the Waverly. Careful attention has been given to details and we believe -that every housewife will appreciate the excellent floor plan -arrangement. You enter direct from the porch into one of the prettiest -living rooms you have ever seen. Triple windows in front and side are -among the attractive features of this room, allowing worlds of sunshine -and cheer to enter, but still leaving plenty of wall space for -furniture. The high casement windows in the end were separated purposely -to provide a place for your piano. The well-lighted dining room is -separated from the living room by an attractive colonnade-arch.

One of our most -attractive front doors, the "Conesus," and the latest style of panel -sash are furnished with this design. - -The living room, bedrooms and kitchen are expertly arranged to secure -the greatest amount of comfort and convenience.
