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.
