Old HouseGets New |
m •
Bridging a period of 66 years
in a matter of a few weeks is no
mean task, but thlt’s exactly
what remodeling did for the Al-
bert Dimonds, of Lovington, 111.
Their old farmhouse, built in
1890, was transformed into a
I modern, 1956 home by up-to-
[ date remodeling techniques and
[ construction materials.
Practical Builder, a leading
trade publication, selected this
house as an outstanding exam-
ple of efficient, economical mod-
ernization. The old house had
no plumbing or central heating.
It consisted of a small parlor,
I bedroom, dining room and kitch-
en downstairs, plus three bed-
rooms upstairs with only one
closet.
Interior remodeling consisted
I chiefly of the addition of a one-
I story wing for kitchen and laun-
[dry, and two bathrooms, one on
[each floor.
Wherever possible, partitions
were removed to make rooms
larger and brighter, and the in-
I terior was completely decorated.
A major improvement both in-
side and out was the installa-
tion of new,* awning-type win-
Muggs and Skccter

year-old house, left Medern
remodeling techniques and con-
struction materials, net magic,
are responsible lor the remark-
able change.
dows made of ponderosa pine
which were painted on the out-
side and given a natural finish
inside. These new wood win-
dows—27 in all—are installed in
banks of two, three and four
high and in some places four
wide.
Also adding to the clean,
bright lines on the exterior are
wide, clapboard tiding and a
new roof of medium green inter-
locking asphalt shingles. Mrs.
Dimond carried the roof color
into her interior decorating
scheme.
Dimond specified interlocking
asphalt shingles because they
are in use on his barn and out-
buildings where they have given
long, trouble-free service de-
spite heavy winds prevalent in
the area.
The small cellar was con-
verted into a utility room con-
taining a gas furnace. To insure
it oper “
nace and help
economical operation of the fur-
lp keep the entire
house cooler in summer, three-
inch thick mineral wool insula-
tion batts were installed in the
attic and between the ceiling
joists of the new wing.

AD Boat Builders Given
lercury Motor Franchise
Bill Bell, Inc., state-wide dis-
ributors for Mercury outboard
notors, announced this week that
CAD Beat Builders of Livingston
las been named local distributor
or Mercury.
The K&D Boat Builders, owned
tnd operated by Billy Dove and
loe Lee Kirgan, Jr., began the
instruction of fiber glass boats
•arly this summer and at this
ime are in the process of com-
peting molds for their first model,
i 15-foot, 67-inch beam fishing
mat.
The two new distributors for
Mercury outboards stated that
Dove will attend the Mercury
raining school in Dallas next
iveek and will offer factory ser-
rtce plus a complete stock of
sarts for their customers at all
lines,----------------------_——- •
For a short time the motors
will be on display at Arc her-
Smith Motor Company, South
Highway 59, Livingston, until
permanent quarters are available
for the new boat company.
The two owners stated, "We feel
we will have a fine boat to otter
the citizens of this and surround-
ing counties, and have always felt
that we wanted only the best mo-
tors to power these boats. That's
why we chose the , Klekhaefler
Mercury motor. It's durability,
quality and power, as well aa
speed, is know the world over.
Another feature of this line la
the fact that Mercury does its
own financing and makes it easier
for a person to own what we feel
is the finest outboard money can
- -buy.’--........— - sar-~z-J3r- -------
