[[logo - REVERE QUALITY HOUSE INSTITUTE]] The Revere Quality House Institute is a separate, non-profit organization, sponsored by Revere and co-sponsored by The Architectural Forum, as a service to the American home-seeker. Quality in a house naturally requires not only good design and workmanship, but also fine materials of all kinds, including non-rusting metals. Thus the work of the Institute benefits not only the home buyers, but the entire housing industry and those companies, such as Revere, which sell to it. Send For Free Booklet It is impossible to show here more than a few of the many outstanding quality features of this house. A special booklet containing much more detail and many illustrations is now in preparation. As soon as it is ready it will be mailed absolutely free to anyone desiring it. Just print your name and address on a postcard and ask for the booklet on the "Northwestern House." Please address card only to REVERE QUALITY HOUSE INSTITUTE P. O. BOX 1134, GRAND CENTRAL STATION, NEW YORK 17, N. Y. [[image - house plan]] The house described here is custom-built, which makes its price higher.
