Your Local NATIONAL HOMES Builder-Dealer

will be happy to help you decide, and to

buying power plus assembly-line methods gives
you more home for less money , . . always!

You will note that "Custom-Line"
National homes come in two general
classifications of architectural design . . .
"Ranger" and "Ranch." The "Ranger"
homes are contemporary in style. The
"Ranch" homes are a modernized version
of the comfort and charm of the classic
"Cape Cod" homes of our forefathers.

Both "Ranger" and "Ranch" homes
may have either "open" interiors per-
mitting free flow of family activities from
area to area of the home or "enclosed"
rooms affording cozy privacy preferred
by many families.

Here are but a few of the many fea-
tures that will make your new National
home Outstanding in livability and value:

• Spacious living areas, featuring abun-
dant closet and storage space. All closets
extend from floor to ceiling. Sliding wood
doors in the "Custom-Line" bedrooms;
bamboo folding doors included in most
"Pacemakers," give full access to the en-
tire closet area.

• Big kitchens with efficient layouts,
many of a size to permit dining and family
recreation area.

• Aluminum sash windows are horizontal
sliding type, easily cleaned from inside the
house.

All windows are extra large and
weatherstripped. Window screens and
screen doors with all models. Storm win-
dows and storm-screen doors optional.

• Living rooms have picture windows or
ceiling-high glass walls as noted in indi-
vidual design descriptions. Ceiling high
glass walls in "Custom-Line" models fea-
ture sliding lower panels of glass, or lou-
vers for ventilation.

• All homes are completely insulated with
Fiberglas, assuring maximum economy
from the heating plants, which are of latest
design. Your choice of automatic oil heat,
or gas (where available locally) with
thermostatic control.

• All "Custom-Line" homes have king-
size medicine cabinet in baths and many
have built-in vanities.

• Extra outside storage space for garden
equipment, toys, etc., is available through
the use of a special unit which may be
attached to house or carport. The unit
is optional with all models.

Medium Priced Homes

Like all Nationals, the materials and equipment that go
into "Pacemaker" homes come from famous brand-name
manufacturers. All lumber used is Number One Kiln

happy, comfortable living.

Like all National Homes, "Pacemakers" are designed by
the noted architect, Charles M. Goodman, AIA, and
color-styled by America's foremost stylist, Beatrice West.

ciousness in all rooms.

Lowest cost

2 and 3-bedroom homes

This group, which includes the Alton, Avon, Avalon,
Barton, Barclay, and Barwick, has the same quality of
materials, design, and construction as all National homes.
To keep the prices of this group of homes far below any
others, it is necessary that certain minor features come to
you so that a handy "do-it-yourself man" can complete
them at his convenience and to his own taste. For ex-
ample: Closet doors are omitted. Additional kitchen cab-
inets and storage may be added. The floor, which is
either wood or insulated concrete slab, may be finished
later with tile or other types of floor covering. The walls
are unfinished gypsum board which may be painted any
desired color at a later date. Of course, the homes may
be comfortably lived in "as is."

NOTE: Window and door arrangements on kitchen end of exteriors will vary
according to plan selected.

Its Easu to Own

the National Home of your choice!

All National homes are eligible for FHA in-
sured mortgage loans under the latest structural
engineering bulletin. They invariably require
minimum down and monthly payments.

• Due to variations in requirements of different
areas, states, municipalities, government insur-
ing agencies and mortgage companies, it is im-
possible for National Homes Corporation to de-
fine the specifications of the finished product.
While all National homes are sold by authorized
National Homes dealers complete, including wir-
ing, plumbing and heating — ready to live in —
variations in specifications may exist. For ex-
ample, in some cases the house may be sold
including rough grading only while others may
include seeding or sodding and may include
landscaping. Air conditioning, washers, dryers
and other appliances may or may not be included
in the contract. In purchasing a National home,
you should check with your local dealer for a
complete understanding as to what items are in-
cluded in your purchase contract.

# National Homes Corporation reserves the right
to introduce changes in plans and specifications

without notification and without obligation to
include such changes in any National home al-
ready delivered. The company further reserves
the right to make changes in materials and "brand
names" from those described in this brochure
without obligation.

• Your National Homes dealer is an independent
business man and not an agent, representative or
direct employee of National Homes Corporation.
In his function of creating your home, he pur-
chases, supervises and is responsible for every
detail from the vacant lot to the finished resi-
dence. National Homes Corporation is only one
of his many suppliers; he buys from them the
structural home parts in one complete "package,"
thus eliminating slow, costly fabrication on the
building site.

• Due to variations in local conditions, only your
local National Homes dealer-builder can quote
completed home prices. His figure is always com-
puted to give you the utmost in value — the lowest
possible down and monthly payments. The
National Homes way is the way to get more
house for your money!
