STVIE III AMHITECTURE.-
gTYLE in architecture is that
original beauty which estab-
li&bes a standard of excellence
in each individual building and
gives a sense uf indefinable com-
pleteness.
Style in architectuie is a i>ro-
ducl uf the fancy uf the aicliitect
which can be simple and eca-
nomical and still beautiful, or
common-place and yet quite ex-
pensive.
Style in architecture is some-
thing about a building in the way
of improvement of outline or de-
tail which makes it attractive and
desirable tu the casual observer.
Style in architecture is an in-
novation of the architect who
has dared to be original and in-
dividual and who can produce a
building which will, at the same
time, appeal to popular favor.
HOME, MAKING
I OME is the word ol broadest,
deepest and tenderest signifi-
cance in the English lan-
guage. The home is the cul-
mination of domestic love and the
training school for future generations.
The young married couple has no more
sacred duty than the building a home
which shall reflect their thought and
embody their life together.
There are four important factors to
be considered in the making of a home,
the bank account, the wife, the husband
and the architect These must har-
moni2e or there will be a failure wheie
so much depends upon success.
If there is only a few thousand dol-
lars to be invested there must be nu
reaching out after the unattainable.
The fact must be squarely faced.
It is by the preparation of designs
and the making ol accurate estimates
on the sum named as the limit that I
make friends of my clients.
An alliance of this kind becomes
something more than a mere business
proposition, hence I enter sympathetic-
ally into the plans of the home-makers
and when they take possession of the
house it is with the happy conscious-
ness of having what they wanted, fre-
quently at less outlay than they at first
inlicipated.
The whims, (ancies and idiosyncra-
sies of home-makers are innumerable.
Where it is impossible or ill-advised
to gratify them I rarely fail, by the em-
ployment of reason and the exercise ol
tact, to direct the thoughts of my clients
into more rational channels. I have
never assumed the office ol dictator
preferring to be looked upon as > help-
er, an expert assistant, whose judgment
carries the weight of practical exper-
ience.
I do not take the easiest means to
please a client until 1 have first sub-
mitted my ideas and it is therefore
sometimes necessary to antagonize
frankly and fairly the wishes of a client,
and not infrequently I have been
amused at the trick of memory by which
the home maker assu:nes responsibility
for the feature to which he strenously
objected in the very formation of the
plans.
Home-makers, as a rule are earnest,
honest men and women who, if their
confidence is gained will trust implicit-
ly to the wisdom of the architect they
employ. I have never given a client
cause to consider his trust in my abi!ty
as misplaced.

TO THE CONTRACTOR
The contractor who works to my pl«ns Und« tlMt they redouixl to lii*
credit as well as mine. Wise connactors know what it meani to h«»«
attributed to them a structure attractive in design, complete in every de-
tail and perlectly adapted to the uses lot which it is intended. This is
possible only when the services ol a thoroughly competent architect are
secured. It is as much to my interest as to the contractors, that I should
wrk in periecl harmony with him. I receive credit lor the design ar>d be
lor the eaecution. II either is laulty then both ol us are blamed, and we
lall together. II both arc good then we divide honors, and when the ques-
tions are asked, "who planned ihal building'" and "who conilrucled that
building'" we may well be proud to be named together

DOES II ARCNITEer PAY?
/JiN architect's plans are the greatest
economy in a building operation,
and the cheaper the building the great-
er is the importance of plans.
For instance take it on a $1,000
basis, for cheap but convenient illus-
tration, what is $35 or 3)^ per cent
for accurately-drawn plans, and details
of construction and carefully-worded
specifications, when in the first place
the style and dignity which an archi-
tect-planned house gives is 500 per
cent greater than that of the common-
place amateur-planned house.

MODERATE COST HOUSES.
rLANS which refer- back to this page have 1 8-inch stone or
13-iDch brick foundation walls, as desired, with cellar under
the main portion of house where cellar stairs ^u-e .shown, and
flue for furnace where practical, with general, good finish
throughout. Plumbing is included where shown. Story
heights average i o feet.
All rooms are plastered and finished with yellow pine, or
native wood, in natural finish. All mouldings are detailed in
stock patterns, and details of porches, cornices, etc., are very
simple in construction. It is important to have the entire
construction of a building clearly shown by large scale or full-
size drawings. . It assists the workmen on the building, for
they do not then have to ponder over problems of cor^struc-
tion. The plans are all neatly and accurately drawn, and
above all, carefully figured,givingdiraensionSof glass, location
and size of doors, windows, etc., and all information neces-
sary for the successful guidance of the builder.
It costs no more to put style into a house than it does to
have it commonplace and as long as discretion is used in the
conomical and practical selection of mouldings, ornaments,
etc., there is no danger of running-up the cost of construction.
Carefully-drawn plans, details and specifications sliould be
prepared for structures of all kinds. Where you have com-
plete plans, you then know that all contractors are figuring on
the same basis, and when you do get a reasonably low bid
you are assured it is not for inferior work. The difference in
estimates here given are supposed td cover the total costs in
different localities, giving the lowest and highest probable
costs, and we therefore give no absolute guarantees as to the
actual cost, for prices are regulated more or less by the amount
of competition there is among builders. All estimates are
based on the schedule of prices in front'pages If you have
plans you can always get reasonably fait bids. At the prices
given for stock-plans, no changes or modifications are includ-
ed, but we will furnish plans reversed, if desired, or will
change any floor plan for $2.75 extra and any elevation or
exterior view for $2.50, or will make special plans for 2 per-
cent, on cost of building, or $2^.00 for houses of less than
$1,250 in cost.

THE COMPtTITIVE IDE.A.
Many presume that an architect should be expected to enter
lino *ork in competition. This is wrong. An architect should no
more be expected to "give samples of his work as you might say.
than a lawyer, a physician, or any other professional man. This
i:> unjust for the reason that important ideas are given in the pre-
liminary plans, and no architect will care lo give his best ideas or
spend the lime and study in competitive work as he will when he
knows he will be paid for his ser\ ices, if satisfactory. Further-
more the competitive architect usually lakes the* easiest means to
please, which does not always rrean the best thing for the client.
I would r.:uch rather lake work at half price and have a posi-
tive order, than take any chanci of losing an order; as an architeci
does when he enters into work conipeiitixely. I take all work on
condition, that I give entire satisfaction in the preliminary or pencil
plans, before nvaking ihe completed woik. or no pay. Where
architectural work is done on this arrangement, it facilitates mai-
lers all around. The client saves lime by concentrating his lime
with one architect, and the architect, docs likewise in return.

Dear Sir:—
Replying to your favor of the lath inst. ask-
ing how I am satisfied with plans, etc., will state
Id not be induced to build without
pccial plans prepared by you. Your advice
during the preparation of the preliminary
plans has been invaluable to me; and since the
erection of my residence. I now am assured
(hat you have directed mc in a most thorough
manner, in all m.iiters pertaining lo the economi-
cal arrangement of plan, improved methods of
consiructioii, modern design, etc.
My building is said to show up in size, work-
manship and design better than some which
have cost almost double the amount, and it is
generally admired and favorably commented up-
on by all. I would not build again without spe-
cially prepared plans for five limes their cost.
Yours sincerely,

HERBERT
CHIVERS CO.

ARTISTIC HOMES
HE employi:d an architect
HE made a fortune buying lota.
Converting them to pretty spots,
And building pleasant homes to sell—
For koycroft always builded well,
Substantial , healthy, handy homes;
With arches, gables, peaks and domes,
Piazzas, oriels and handsome towers,
Half hidden in the trees and flowers.
Each house was varied from the rest-
Like pretty women, nicely dressed.
He scarce coiild hold a house till done.
For at least two buyers sougliteach one.
HOW Roycroft did it, none could learn;
He was so very taciturn.
When dying, Roycroft told his spousr
The secret- "When you want a house.
Secure ao architect at once."
(He w:bo hires himself, a dunce employes.)
The architect may make dne door
Serve where you might put in four or more.
He, knowing laws of heat and light,
Devises rooms so all are bright.
Cijts windows just the size and where.
They yield the utmost light and air.
PROVIDES for all things ample space.
Keeping everything in proper place;
Learns what you want before he starts,
Saves adding costly little parts.
Remember, it is not the size—
Arrangement makes the home we prize.
Outside he moulds the charm of "style"
From basement to the topmost tils.
He requires material enough,
Describes the proper sort of stutT,
Everything is clearly speciGed,
So it ie fair to either side.
WHAT is experiment with you.
He knows precisely how to do.
What can be done, with what effect;
What not to do, how to select.
Haves steps for Iiousewives' weary feet,
Supplies control of cold and heat.
No house designed with reckless haste
But with distinctiveness and taste.
No tearing-down and building twice,
With ''changes" at a fancy price.
Your house will rarely cost you more
Than you have calculated on before.
THE first house I built, I recollect.
I had an amatucr architect.
And many often asked roe what
Had happened to that vacant lot.
Was it an air-ship that had lit
Or simply an architectural mis-fit?
1 patched that house and there it stood
Reflecting on the neighborhood.
Till Providence, in righteous Ire,
Redeemed its ugliness with fire.
My buildings, subsequent, were wrought
On paper first, with thorough thought.
HE aichitect is a prophet
who fuHills bis own pre-
dictions. He foretells the
exact formation oi a palace
or a cottage, a church or a sky-scrap-
er where there is only vacant ground.
He conceives to the nninutest detail
a structure while yet the stone is in
the quarry, the bricks are but clay
and the lumber is in the tree. Be-
• lore a dollar has been expended in
segregating these materials he has
counted the cost and announced the
day on which the building will b«
ready for occupancy.
His client, beholding that the ar-
chitects former predictions have
come to pass, trust him implicitly
and provides the means by which
the conception of the design shall
come into being.
James Russell Lowell says in the
Bigelow Papers: "Don't ever
prophesy unless you know," and here
is where it is important to select
an architect who knows. Guess
work in building does not pay.
Guessing at cost, guessing at time,
guessing at appearance and solidity
are expensive weaknesses in tin
architect, that is for the man who
pays the bills.
My success is due to my ability
(o submit a design which embodies
the ideas c( my client wrought into
a plan beyond his conception.
My accumulated
information, corrected to date, may
be relied upon by every client when
a positive order is given in advance,
ihcreby justifying my personal at-
tention on matters of exact cost,
design, plan arrangement, etc.
Il is to this accuroulated informa-
tion and my staff of thoroughly-
trained assistants that I owe the
position which I occupy in the pro-
fession. Each man assistant in my
employ being a specialist, thoro-
ughly competent and reliable in the
performance of the task assigned to
him. -307-

Yours at hand and much pleased to hear from you. My house is not com-

very slow in getting everything ready, but will say your plans were carried out
to the letter, and it is pronounced by everyone a showy house. I thought at
first you were exhorbitant in your charges, but now would pay you twice that
sum than build without your plans, and to say that I am pleased, is putting it
mildly, and as soon as it is completed will send you a photo of it, and hope that

SUMME.R COTTAGES
As a number of our cheaper cottages are planned suitable for summer cot-
tages, we have them classified as shown on the succeeding thirty-two pages.
These houses are figured for regular construction, except where described as
summer construction, and basements are included where cellar stairs are shown.
We have a special cheap method of summer-house construction, using beaded
partition lumber to inside partitions, running perpindicular around the entire
room, and having the room free from the customary exposed posts to outer
walls. This method will save 1 5 to 20 per-cent in cost, and we can prepare
special plans of any cheap house for $25. See index for other summer cottages.

Dear Sir: —
I take great pleasure- in saying that the plans
worked out perfectly, and we have an exceed-
ingly attractive and convenient home. The plans
cost me less than one-fifth of what a local ar-
chitect would have charged for them, besides
giving us a place with more style and character.
Thanking you for the interest which you took
in same while we were building, I beg to re-
main, Yours very truly,

|KT and Architecture go hand-m-hand. The leading architects do not care lor
moderate-cost residence work, but to meet this demand I have established a
special department for the planning of Cozy Homes, and as 1 do more work
in this one department alone, than any three architects, this great practice, ex-
tending as it does, to all parts of the United Stales and Foreign Countries,
naturally gives me a knowledge of the best ideas from all parts of the country, and these
ideas, lor a nominal price, can be incorporated in your plans; and where your neighbor
has a cheap carpenter-planned or cheap stock-plan house, that you fmd duplicated and
staring you in the lace wherever you go, you, for a lew dollars more, can have a
house that is stylish, economical, home-like and out of the ordinary.— Herbert C. Chivers.

ARTISTIC HOMES
I HEN you are 'building a home it will
cost you no more, but will be a
thousand times more satisfactory, if
you will build on the past exper-
ience and most modem ideas of an
architect of national reputation, and build for
the future. It is a fact and a lamentable one,
that a hundred times more money has been
wasted in mistakes and blunders in building
than has ever been paid to architects.
You undoubtedly liave some pretty well-
defined ideas of the sort of a house you want
and there are some things which you have
always wanted in your house and ^ now you
intended having them. That's right, but don't
build a bam, in your baste, and then stick on
a lot of warts here and there and expect to
get artistic and tasty design.
It will be better for your family, pocket-
book, peace-of-mind and temper if you will
simply slap all these ideas into a roughly
drawn pencil sketch, of the sort of a house
you want, and send the same to me with in-
structions to prepare sketches for you and
later to complete the plans. My large ex-
perience and information acquired in the sat-
isfaction of thousaqds of clients is yojjrs for
a nominal sum.
It's your bouse that you are going to build
and it's your money that is going to pay for
it, but a thing that is worth doing, is worth
doing right, and it will not take ver^r much
in wasted material to absorb the $45.00 or so
you would be trying to save in being your
owti architect, laying aside the important
matter of convenient plan, style and design
that an architect of experience can give.
WE ARE FROM MISSOURI AND MUST BE SHOWN
I can show you bow to make thr
money you have appropriated
for your new bouse go fartbet
toward meeting your every re-
quirement than you can do for

matters in so many phases, and
overcome so many obstacles

troubles which are the business
of your architect The operation
of planning, designing and build-

to be successfully undertaken
without an architect, even with
the co-operation of the best of
builders. The professional or
expert is needed not only to se-
cure the successful completion
of the project but to save tBoney
for the client.
Do not hesitate about writing

Mr. Herlxrt C Chivtrs,
Wainwright Duilding,
St. Louis. Mo.
Dcir Sin-
Both Mrs Hobbs and mytclf had som« brit-
liartt ideas which we wished to embody in a
home. The trouble with our brilliant ideas was
that no architect would acknowledge that they
were even brilliant or usable. Each architect I
visited first threw cold water on my ideas and
then tried 'to sell me something I did not want.
Having heard a great deal of you and your work
during the year 1 spent in St. Louis. 1 sent you
my sketches, expecting to receive a letter stat-
ing thai they were worthless. The letter never
came, but the plans did. and the plans, well; I
think you are a diplomat, but I know you are
an architect. If all my ideas are not embodied
in these plans, the plans are so complete and
well developed, that 1 do not miss them.
While wishing you success, it occurs to me to
mention that there may be many more in Chi-
cago in my predicament, and will certainly refer
any prospective builder to St. Louis for his
«*lan$.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Sir: —
Please pardon my delay le not writing sooner
expressing my appreciation of the plans you
made for the remodeling of my residance The
query is, "How did you accomplish sucH a lran»-
lormalion?" The exterior is far ahead of uur
expectation, and the interior arrangement his
our needs just about right and makes us a vtty
ccmilorlable home
The money I paid you for plans was well in-
vested, for they worked out perfectly, saved us
money, and a whole lot of worry.
Yours truly,

THE HARMONIZER.
I O know something oi everything and everything of something connected with
the construction of a building is the business of the architect. The man who
pays for the work seldom knows anything about any part of it. What he
wants is a harmonized combination. If he is wise he pays a man who is ca-
pable of securing this. When a client accepts a design of mine with orders
to superintend the work from start to finish he may be assured that from foundation to
roof everything will be well done. The stone-mason, the brick-layer, the tiler, the car-
penter, the glazier, the plumber and the decorator will have fulfilled to the letter the con-
tracts under which they work. I am the harmonizer. I see the whole where others see
but the parts. What to my clients is a posibilily is to me a certainty. — i-lerbert C. Cbivers.

.FORE.THOUCHT IN BUILDING
|UILD on the past cspcT"
ience and new ideas oi an
architect ol national repu-
tation. You are not
building ior the present alone but
for the future. Secure the best de-
signs and plan you can for your
money.
More money has been wasted in
mistakes and blunders in building
than was ever paid to architects.
You probably have well-defined
ideas of the sort of house you want.
There are features you now intend
to insist upon and which you have
heretofore missed in the houses
you have occupied. Have your own
way; but do ix>t, in your haste,
t)uild a home in which you will re-
pent at leisure that it is not different
This need not occtir if you let me
work your ideas into a practical plan
and produce a design which will
meet your approval and your purse.
Many who are about to build,
being inexperienced, do not realize
the importance of securing from a
thoroughly qualified architect regu-
larly drawn plans. They content
themselves with crude outlines pre-
pared by one to whom architectxire
is not a fine art, but merely a trade.
The restilts are coarse, common-
place and unaatisfactory. The
money paid to him would command
the services oi an architectural ex-
pert possessed of a thorough knowl-
edge of what has been done and
with originality enough to produce
something new.
It is a mistake to suppose that
practical and artistic plana drawn
by a competent architect are neces-
sarily more expensive than are fool-
ish plans, amatuerish plans, incor-
rect plans, inartistic plans drawn Dy
some incompetent architect. The
one would be certain in architectur-
al effect, the other common-place,
experimental and dubious.
The essence of good design is as
much in the details of construction,
as the actual plans, and this is where
the inexperienced are disappointed.
The plain floor plans, exterior views
and specifications do not constitute
complete plans. They are simply
preliminary to the important detail-
ed information which I give as the
work progresses. By all means
employ an architect who works for
art's sake and who is tmder obliga-
tion to no local interests except
your interests.
The special instructions in the
specifications is a feature the value
of which is too often overlooked.
Only an expert architect is capable
of preparing these and the detailed
drawings.
I cannot give to your plans the
study and considerations they
should have without reasonable as-
surance of payment when I please
you. To send well-studied designs
and exterior views without this as-
surance is a speculative chance
which I am unwilling to assume.
My time is given to clients who
place their orders subject to the
above understanding. I then pre-
pare sketches until they are satisfied.
You place your order with me
and I will prepare drawings which
shall enable you to determine what
kind of a house you can build for a
given sum. I am an expert at this
work and my services will cost
you no more than those ol a novice
or a blunderer.

|OU build for yourself a sky scraper, a theatre, a hotel, a bank, a factory, a
store or a home the passer-by takes possession of it with his eye and claims
it as his to behold. It is to him the city as he sees it. You become known
as the owner of the building and it is to your credit or the reverse. I have
never erected a building for a client which did not redound to his honor as a beau-
tifier of his city. The public verdict on my work is every time: "This building looks
goo4 to ua." — Herbert C. Chi vers.

Look around you, see what is being dune la mecbaolcal inventions, tben look
at aome of tbe bnlldingn wblch go up now-a-days, many of them being copies of
plans built thirty and forty years ago. Tbe reason of this is that many a per-

Mr. Herbert C. Chiver*. Arcbilect.

D«ar Sir:—
I wish to say that I am much pleased with the
building in every respect.
I do not believe that there It any method of
treatment which gives as much room for the size
of the foundation as this docs and the
arrangement is most decidedly artistic as well
as conveniently arranged with reference to ser-
vice, entertaining, etc.
There was not one cent of extra work. My
contractors said is was the hrst plan they ever
worked from in which they did not find a single
mistake.
The building has been admired by many and
a local paper ^poke of it as the finest home on
tbe Heights This is praise indeed.
Sincerely yours,
HARRIS B. STILES.

Your request in reference to my house, for
which you made plans, has been received, and
I desire to thank you most sincerely for the
bcnefii that your special plans and advice have
been to me. 1 cannot say too much in com-
mendation of your services
The coniraciof found not the slightest fault
with your plan*, and he commended you veiy
highly, especially on details of construction, f
can clearly see now. where you hsTc saved me
the actual cost of plans, many times over, by
the ingenuity with which you economize on
space and materials.
1 dfd not have the least idea t^at I could do
business so promptly and satikLactortly with a
distaff architect, and you are at liberty to refer
any of your prospective clients to me. as I shall
always feci Ihit yon have been of gfeat service

THE USE OF PLANS.
Plans are to be used but once, and parties purchasing plans of this office are
prlvlledged to build only one building from them. This is a universal rustom
among architects, and for plans used a second time we are entitled to 3V4 per
cent on the total cost of each building erected from them.
Some are of the opinion that these plans may be nscd, provided changes are
made, but where It can be shown that a prospective client purchased books con-
taining certain Ideas embodied in such plans as may be built from, without
payment to the originator it. Is sufficient evidence on which to prosecute. This
notice Is simply to protect those who might endeavor to use "Ignorance of the
law" as an excuse for duplicating plans.
It is admitted, even by many architects, that the facilities of this office to
pr^fduce practical plans and artistic designs is superior to that of any other Id
the United States.
If any of our stock plans should exceed estimate I will exchange them with-
in 10 days after shipping fd in good shape, for $2 additional. _Q t^ A —

THE FREE SKETCH IDEA.
The profeesion of arcbltectnre has been cheapened somewhat by the practice
aom« architects have made of sending out free sketches. When an architect has
come to this in order to secnre work, it Is reftsonably certain that he will take
the easiest way to please yon, inasmuch as he will not make any eflTort to im-
prove upon your ideas. When yon go to an architect a lawyer, or a doctor, yoa
do not always care for him to coincide exactly with your ideas: Tou want ad-
ranced Ideas, suggestions and consctentlons advise. Now with the "free sketch
architect." he Is after nn early adoption of plan, usually an anti-dated stock plan
at that, or a- poor original made by cheap help. We wonid rather sell special
plans as we like to Improve on ^very Job turned out and even on our past work.
It stands to reason that no reputable architect can Improve his work when he
copies one Job after another.

Mural Decoration
I MONO savage nations,
so the Ethnologists tell
us, decoration precedes
dress. Primitive peo-
ple paint their bodies before they
think of clothing them. There
seems to be among all races an
instinctive love oi color and
form. In dress, among the most
highly civilized human beings,
this display is principally con-
fined to the women. The con-
ventional male costume being
limited to dull shades and not
being especially graceful in out-
line. But the man who creates
a home has an opportunity to
exhibit his taste in decoration.
No matter bow critical his judg-
ment or how delicate his apprec-
iation of values he is almost cer-
tain to disappoint himself and
all beholders imless he consults
his architect and obtains profes-
sional advice on this important
subject. The painting oi the ex-
terior of a wooden house from
porch to roof, coloring is not a
matter to be lightly considered.
The color scheme must be har-
monious and few indeed are they
who, not having given the sub-
ject serious and profound con-
sideraticn, are capable of pro-
ducing the proper effects.
The interior requires still sub-
tler thought. The shape of the
room, tne size of the room, the
lighting of the room, the purpos-
es for which the room is to be
used must all receive the most
careful attention.
In consulting with my clients
on this subject I endeavor to em-
body their ideas, when they are
not too incongruous, and to con-
vince them that certain modifi-
cations will greatly improve the
result. This I seldom have dif-
ficulty in doing as my experience
in interior and exterior house
decoration in stone, brick, tiling,
wood-carving and color has been
so extensive and so effective
that I am able to please the most
fastidious and especially to grat-
ify the ever increasing number
of house and church builders
who desire something original,
something different from any-
thing they have ever seen.

WHEN ADVICE IS OK VALUE.
When one contemplntrs buildlnR, it is in the cMrly stages of the enterprise
that the architect should lie solectod. Tlic .idvioc iind ex|)erlence of a trust-
worthy architect should be scured hy all nx-.-ins. Do noi expect an architect to
put his best ideas on paper for you. unless you have a positive dndcrstandlDg
with him that he Is to do the work. I'nrtles who struggle along themselves with
all the preliminary work and later on. employ the architect do not secure full
services. The most valuable portion of a plan, nnd often its most vital points
are rendered during its embryotic period.
