    THE RADFORD IDEAL HOMES

    ELEVENTH EDITION

    FEBRUARY, 1999

    IN PRESENTING this, the eleventh edition of THE RADFORD IDEAL HOMES to the public. the publishers wish to thank those who have shown so much appreciation for the first ten editions, and who have shown their appreciation not only by ordering the books, but by buying and favorably commenting on the blue prints and specifications. The encouragement we have received has been the means of urging us to print this tenth issue in larger quantity than heretofore. As the houses are moderate in price and convenient in arrangement, we feel sure of securing liberal patronage. In the planning of all our designs, we have recognized the fact that the people of to-day demand modern appearances, as well as the different conveniences, when they decide upon building a home. A great deal of time and study has been spent on each design, and every set of plans will be found complete and accurate in all details, no labor, having been spared where any small advantage could be gained. Many people are surprised that we can furnish blue prints and specifications of such up-to-date houses at the price for which we advertise them, and we could not were it not for the fact that we have succeeded in supplying the demand for the very thing that the people have been looking for, namely, a moderate priced, convenient house. All of these plans have been made for us by a licensed architect of the State of Illinois. They are accurate and complete in every detail.
