      Read Why You Can Buy A Wardway Home at Lower Prices Than Last Year

      COMPARE OUR PRICES! Compare them with any you can obtain elsewhere. Judge for yourself the big savings you make when you buy a Wardway Home.

      These prices are unusually attractive. They reflect our tremendous buying power and our desire to give our customers the greatest home values for the least money.

      These prices are remarkable, too, because a number of important improvements have been made during the past year. Wardway Homes are today better than ever before.

      Here is why a Wardway Home is the most economical home on the market today:

      We Buy and Sell Wardway Homes Only for Cash!

      We can buy the very finest of materials at lowest prices because we pay cash for every item. And we can sell at lowest prices because all our sales are made for cash. You can make a double saving when you buy a Wardway Home—the saving on our cash purchases and an even greater saving on our cash sales.

      When you buy from us you pay nothing for interest, either outright or concealed. You pay no share of losses through bad accounts, or the expense of a bookkeeping department and legal fees. You pay the actual cost of materials plus the one small profit we ask on each sale.

      Arrange now for that home you have been planning—and save money by buying a Wardway Home for cash. If you haven’t the ready cash in hand, you can arrange with your local bank to furnish all or any part of the amount you need. Then you can take advantage of our unusually low prices.

      Prices of Wardway Homes

      The list below gives the very latest prices on Wardway Homes. These figures are based on manufacturing costs and are as low as it is possible to make them. We welcome comparison of our prices with those quoted elsewhere on similar homes. Always remember, however, when comparing prices that ours are for the home complete as specified. There will be no extras for you to buy when your home is in the course of construction. Please keep this fact in mind when comparing our prices with others.

      The four right hand rows of figures below give prices on some optional features of Wardway Homes. Each of these options is explained in detail in the paragraphs at the bottom of this page. Be sure to read them over carefully before deciding on these details of the construction of your home.

      While the home will be complete without any of these features, it is true that oak flooring, for example, will add considerably to the value of the home as well as to your pleasure in living in it.

      NOTE: It is our policy to maintain prices as long as possible, but we reserve the right to follow any radical changes in cost.

      Options—(Can Be Furnished if Desired)

      Special Features Which May Be Included if Desired

      Oak Option

      Under this option we will furnish beautiful plain Oak sawed red oak flooring and woodwork for all the principal downstairs rooms of your Wardway Home, instead of our regular Douglas fir finish. The rooms included in this option are the hall, living room, dining room, den, library, and vestibule. In two-story homes, where the stairs go up from the front hall or living room, the stair treads, risers, rails and balusters are all of oak. The doors are of the same two-panel design as shown on Page 54 of this book. The flooring is clear oak, 13-16 inch thick, with 2¼-inch face.

      Asphalt Shingle Option

      We supply our regular Radio Slate Surfaced Asphalt Shingles instead of cedar shingles, in this option. We also include the extra roof sheathing required when asphalt shingles are used. This additional sheathing is made necessary by the fact that it must be laid tight under asphalt shingles, whereas with wood shingles it may be laid open as shown on Page 10 of this catalogue.

      Storm Sash Option

      Includeswell made storm sash for all the windows of your home, save those in the basement and attic. Storm doors for all the outside doors are also furnished. These are not included in the original price of the home because they are not required in many communities where Wardway Homes are sold.

      Screen Option

      Includes galvanized wire screens for the windows and doors listed in the Storm Sash Option.

      Options—(Can Be Furnished if Desired)

      Prices of Wardway Cottages and Garages

      The prices quoted here on Wardway Cottages are cut as low as possible in order to stimulate the sale of these little dwellings. Wardway Cottages are furnished Ready-Cut only, and are of simple design so that they may be put up quickly and at little expense. The first group listed below are industrial cottages intended as all-year-round homes. The second group are designed as summer homes only.

      When you are buying a Wardway Home, we suggest that you buy one of these attractive Garages at the same time. Pick out a garage that will go well with your home, and paint them alike. The combination will make your place especially attractive.

      Wardway Garages offer the home builder an inexpensive and easy solution to the problem of housing the car.

      Prices on plumbing outfits are for modern sanitary installations but do not take into account any plumbing codes or ordinances. If your installation must be made according to a code, write us and we will give you a special estimate.

      Prices for Heating Plants, Plumbing, and Electric Wiring for Any Wardway Home

      See Pages 96 to 100 for Additional Information

      Prices for Plumbing and Heating Materials are for Shipment from

      Chicago and are subject to market changes.

      Heating Systems are figured to maintain comfort indoors with a minimum outside temperature of 10 below zero. This is the usual minimum for Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. If it differs in your locality heating system must be figured accordingly.

      Heat Regulator (see Page 100) with Clock - $28.75 Extra; without Clock - $24.25 Extra. *Extra Lavatory Included

      Our prices on electric wiring include service entrance, safety entrance switch, branch blocks, fuse plugs and a sufficient Quantity of No. 14 rubber covered wire. Porcelain tubes and knobs for a celling outlet in each room, pantry and on front porch. Material for installing flush switches and receptacles is not included. When ordering specify where switches and receptacles are wanted, and we will supply material for them. Prices include wire connectors for making splices in wires, eliminating solder and tape. These connectors make an Underwriters’ Approved joint and save considerable time. We recommend these connectors but can supply solder and tape if you so desire. Prices do not include lighting fixtures.

      The Service and Saving Which This Book Offers You

      MONTGOMERY WARD & COMPANY make it possible for thousands of families to own their own homes—families which can do so because of Wardway plans, materials and low prices. We enable thousands to build and to have better homes for less money than would be possible were they to build under the ordinary plan. These great savings and Wardway high quality are due to our enormous purchasing power and to the fact that we deal direct with you, eliminating all middlemen’s extra profits.

      Perfected Plans

      BECAUSE we sell many Wardway Homes of each type, we are able to give thought and effort to each plan which no individual or architect could afford in the planning of a single home. Each house is the work of a staff of experts, each chosen because he is a specialist in some one phase of home building. These men have studied each house as it has been built in various climates, and have improved and revised it until every detail is just right. Wardway service starts with perfected plans.

      Large Purchases Mean Low Costs

      OUR business calls for great quantities of lumber each year. Where the average dealer in a small town measures his requirements by the dozen, we figure ours by the carload. Naturally this enables us to secure price and transportation advantages which are impossible for anyone not buying in such large quantities. These savings we pass on to you.

      And the material is of the highest quality obtainable. Everything we buy must measure up to our rigid high standards. Specifications of Wardway Homes are shown complete on Pages 10 and 11. Every kind and grade of material for every part is shown, and we absolutely guarantee that all materials will be as good as, or even better than, the grade specified. Careful inspection at all points is responsible for Wardway super-quality, which is always a source of surprise and delight to the home builder.

      Extras Are Eliminated

      ANYONE who has built a home under the old-fashioned method will tell you how much trouble it is to build that way, and how many expensive extras there were which were not figured on at first. When you buy a Wardway Home you not only receive all the benefits of Wardway service, but you also receive a guarantee that all materials will be complete as specified and there will be no extras. The satisfaction to be derived from having all the uncertainties and possibilities of errors eliminated in building your home is thoroughly appreciated by those who have built by Wardway methods. These methods mean actual savings in cost, less delay and better construction.

      Our plans are complete to the smallest detail and have been so perfected that the erection of the Wardway Home becomes a simple matter indeed. Not only is waste in materials eliminated, but labor costs are greatly reduced owing to the ease and speed with which the various parts of the house are put together on the job. All of this goes to reduce the final cost.
