By W. P. BUTTE, President ERBERT HOOVER, Secretary of Commerce, struck the keynote of the building problem prevalent throughout the nation, when he recently declared: “A great field of service to the building industry itself and to the coun¬ try as a whole lies in the elimination of those great wastes which are beyond the control of any one individual. If we would secure the housing and construction now so badly lagging behind our needs, we must cheapen its costs.

Now this is ex¬ actly what the PACIFIC SYSTEM will accomplish for you, whether jfou build a 2, 5 or 10-room home.

If you ever built a home you probably experi¬ enced the same condition as countless others— you secured bids and found that there was a wide variation. Perhaps one contractor figured cheap labor; another figured good lumber, good workmanship and judicious planning and yet his price seemed out of reason. Don’t blame the carpenter or contractor. Blame the lack of system. The board that cost originally at the forest say 6 or 8 cents generally costs 20 cents or more by the time the Homebuilder gets it—unless the latter resolves to buy direct. By the Pacific Plan extra profits are cut out, waste in cutting is eliminated and the Home¬ versus builder pays us only one small profit on his entire bill of material. The READY-CUT SYSTEM is sometimes criti¬ cized by retail lumber dealers THE STOP WATCH TELLS THE STORY because it offers a way to the To saw a 2 x 12 plank in halves by hand requires 40 seconds of the Homebuilder to keep that extra carpenter’s time.

He buys from the Wholesaler by the thousand feet and he sends his orders through the mail most likely. Why shouldn’t you also, if you can save and be served better? What You Will Save “How much will I save by buying a Pacific Home?” is the question Homebuilders often ask. It is difficult to set down a hard and fast rule of percentage because each order involves different conditions. But from close records we have kept and in comparing figures of complete costs for the average house, we find that the labor saving will approximately amount to 15% to 30%. This is due, of course, to the way the materials are prepared, the ready-cut pieces being machine-cut at the mill ready for nailing. The carpenters can devote most of their time to actual erection operations. Then the saving in freight amounts to usually 10% or more. No special charge is made for architectural services, which means another big saving. Another fea¬ Pacific’s million-doUar buying power ture is the high quality of lumber, commands lowest prices.

When the shipment is deliverd the carpenters can begin at once with the actual erection. They do not have to spend days in cutting pieces to proper lengths, studying out complicated details, trial fitting and recutting. Much to their delight they can start right in with the nailing. All the tedious work has been done at the mill. The work that the carpenters dislike most and the kind that is usually the most expensive—that of hand cutting—has been done by accurate machinery. The carpenters are not obliged to pick out the raw lengths of lumber and study where each piece should go. A complete list is furnished, with the aid of which the carpenters can immediately identify each item, its intended use and where it is to go. The rafters, joists and other ONE OF THE GIANT PLANERS standard integrals of the frame work are of course uniform in length Finish lumber is cut in quantity lots, in¬ and can be fitted in place and nailed in a “jiffy.” The plain instruc¬ spected and graded.

Everything has been planned with precision and it is actually a joy for the men on the job to handle Pacific material, as any carpenter who has been employed in building one of these houses will attest. It usually happens that even the carpenter of the “old school,” after once erecting a Pacific Home, develops into a big booster for the Ready-Cut System. The Greatest Aid to Carpenters and Contractors The average carpenter can accomplish only so much a day. He can probably measure, square and saw through about 200 feet of material a day. The carpenter earns from $5.00 to $9.00 a day for tedious work or straight hand sawing. But at the Pacific mills the unprofitable work—that which costs most—is almost all done by power machines which operate all day long on 25 or 30 cents’ worth of electricity and MATERIALS READY FOR STORAGE will cut thousands of feet of lumber an hour without tiring. The ready-cut pieces are carefully classified and piled in their respective places so that Some contractors and builders feel that the ready-cut system is going to an order can be quickly and systematically take some of their business away from them. We can easily understand filled. how this viewpoint may be taken by those who have not investigated the possibilities of the ready-cut system. Pacific Homes do not infringe upon the rights of the carpenter and con¬ tractor, but rather are a great benefit. To the thrifty carpen¬ ter who desires to accomplish the most, with resultant increase of revenue, we wish to say that you can greatly benefit by our modern system.

You purchase the material ready-cut from one of the largest material supply mills on the Pacific Coast, based on a cost which is much lower, com¬ paratively speaking, than you could buy the same quality material from your local yard. As a matter of fact, it is doubtful if you can secure as high a grade of lumber from your local yard. We invite comparison. You secure all the materials at a guaranteed cost and there is no chance for you to forget to figure in necessary items. Therefore your legitimate profit is assured. By devoting your entire time to the details that require skill you are able to construct many more houses during the year than would be possible by following the ordinary hand-cutting methods. The PACIFIC System makes available the opportunity you have always wanted—the chance to increase capacity. We save you time, we save you detail work and at the same time give you a chance to reap more legitimate profits. We invite your investigation of this modern system of construction. Come to our mills, study the proposition from every angle, make comparisons, ask us questions.
