Qlmbala, "Subway Store Day" I LHile Children's Dresses tf7 Were Solid Value in Brick A house that costs too much to build is a financial millstone forever tied around its owner's neck. Face brick or cut stone may be very handsome, but they needlessly inflate the cost of building. Com mon brick, handled by an architect who knows his business, makes the most beautiful buildings in the worjd, and keeps the cost on a reasonable and prac tical basis. If you want the great est value in your property in proportion to cost of building and upkeep, you can get it only by using common brick. Whfn mi wanl v iioimntinn about bricks.
