THE many extra things - the extra goodness - not just built to sell, but built to live in for generations - again we say ANTICIPATING TOMORROW, but REALIZING TODAY.

Three homes, facing on Lancaster Pike in Devon on the Main Line. Reflecting throughout the pure Colonial of Revolutionary days and authentic in detail, carrying out the simple beauty, fine lines and substanial construction - truly custom-built homes.

Planned throughout for solid comfort, which is denoted by the spacious rooms. Of course they embody all the modern features of the day and some of the morrow, such as electric refrigeration, oil burner, vacuum system, incinerator, tile baths and lavatories and 2-car garages.

The wide oak-plank floors, the thich stone walls, the large fireplaces, quaint porches and beam ceilings willin their subtle way, speak to you of the beauty and simplicity of early American lives and living.

Turn right under the railroad as you approach Devon, and as you crest the hill these beautiful stone and brick houses will arrest your view.

A home, furnished throughout in keeping with the Revolutionary period, is open for your inspection.

They are reasonably priced and financing can be arranged. Come out and see them
