F THE QUESTION OF HEATING APPARATUS with a fresh-air supply or without it appeals to one about to build a residence with force sufficient to justify the inconvenience of a short journey from New York City, and particularly if the inquiry is to know more about the possibilities of water as a vehicle for the transmission of heat, this Company will be glad to show their finished plants in operation in fine residences and is permitted to offer to do so by courtesy of the house owners. Reference is especially made to those plants wherein "Radiators," while placed in the most efficient locations in the room to be warmed, are still not in view. If this advertisement excites wonder as to how much the cost of such a plant will be, then we will make estimates of cost on receipt of the house plans, elevations, and particulars of construction, location and requirement. This Company makes its own entire equipment in its own foundry and machine-shops, and its work, intended to maintain any desired indoor temperature as against any required out-of-doors temperature, is planned in the Company's home office by its owners.

SAMUEL CABOT, Sole Manufacturer, 77 Kilby St., Boston, Mass. Some Architects Plan 17-Story Buildings. I never have; but I do draw little, cheap cottages, and beautiful ones. Nowadays one likes even a $300 building to havea tasteful and artistic effect. I believe I have been more successful with these than many of my competitors, and people who buy my book and order plans from me say I am right. My book, "Picturesque Cottages," contains perspectives, floor-plans, and descriptions of homes and summer houses costing from $300 to $2500. It gives correct estimates and careful descriptions. It is without a competitor in its field, and if you want to build a house at seashore or mountains, or for a cottage home, which, be cause of its beauty, will be a joy forever-send for this book.
