Get More/ftse For fqiii Building Dollar The price itag. pn a house often can be misleading. .What sometimes looks like a 'bargain really isn't. The difference, according to Ward G. Ackernran Inc., Altamont, often lies in th§. hidden values . . . the things you can't readily- see . . . but which meat} more comfortable living, less upkeep\ lower depreciation in the.long run. _ For exarnpie, a professionally de- signed fiopr pj^n eliminates the an- noying mistakes which can lead to di'ssatisfacltibn with a house after you have lived; in it for a while. Good design elirnlnates waste space, pro- vides- essential storage room, adds extra living areas for the entire fam- ily, aand generaliv makes a house more livalble. Ward G. ACkerman, Inc„ also points out tjhat sound engineering and quality building materials are two imiportant -hidden values to the buyer. A-n^ expertly engineered house, care- fully constructed from dependable materials, will require little or no maintenance. Such a . home also holds a better resale value. The 4-Square Home Building Serv- ice -at Ward G. Ackerman Inc., is a national service developed to help home 'buiiders provide for just such hidden values in their homes. The service is on dispiay at all times and can be examined without obligation. It contains more than a hundred professionally designed homes and literally thousands of useful, money- saving ideas.
