Since that time there have been many inquiries at The Georgian regarding the beau • tiful Kenyon take-down house which 1 got at the J. M. High Com pany, and this store has been vis ited by many others who wanted to enjoy life in the open as I am enjoying it. Now, after a couple of weeks of such life, 1 feel like a new woman. I feel as if 1 could never again be cooped up in a house or an apart ment. The way 1 feel about it now. I think 1 shall continue to live in my little house in the woods . all the year ’round—spring, sum mer. fall and winter. 1 may change my mind when the cold winds of November remind me that Frost is about to present his visit ing card. Rut 1 don’t believe I ' will. It is just impossible for me to tell how delightful it is to live as I am now living in my Kenyon take-down house. You can get an idea of the environment in which I am spending the summer by looking at the picture accompany ing my little fresh-air talk. There is the Kenyon take-down house' snuggling cozily among the trees, and life for me seems well worth living. Those who have seen this have • been captivated, and from what I can learn, a life-in-the-open, fresh air and good-health movement has been started. A hotel man down at the sea shore got in touch with High’s, S saw one of the Kenyon take-down houses, and. like others, was de lighted. The result was that he made arrangements to increase the size of his hotel by the use of these Kenyon houses. He pointed out that his hotel was tilled with guests, but explain ‘ ed that he had ample grounds and that he knew of hundreds of peo ple who would prefer living in the open and take their meals at the hotel. After his plan became known, he had trouble in keeping guests in the hotel rooms. They nearly all wanted to live in the Kenyon houses. Then,Goo, many have called at High sand explained that because the houses were absolutely mos- This Shows a Fresh Air and Good Health Home ' 1 -an&MSIO yl1 * w i o y >ws«as—aLg» . _• . ■ jjSasfcar. - *• -\||y *■ «t - 19 .

MB biiiiip^L» ’• j*' I Here Is a Kenyon Take-Doivn House From the J. Nt. High Company Shown Cozily Resting in the Woods of Atlanta's Suburbs quito-proof and fly-proof and weather-proof, they wanted these houses to use away from Atlanta for thf summer. Some of them are going to the seashore, while others are going to the mountains. And all of them will be near to Nature. They will sleep well o’ nights without being bothered by insects, and they will awake in the morning with clear heads. Their sleep will be refreshing and their appetites will be good. I KNOW because I have been living in the open. My only re gret is that I didn't get the Ken yon take-down house habit long ago. They have two of these houses set up at High s, one of them being a one-room house like that shown THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. JUNE 29, 1912. in the photograph and the other being a two-room house. They were going Io set up a larger one, but they didn’t have the room. They have the houses, however, and because of the delay in this shipment reaching the store, they have made arrangements to keep well supplied in the future. Inquiry of those interested has developed the fact that the houses are really cheaper than tents for the reason that they are complete. They are fully equipped with floors, doors, screens, windows, frame work—in fact, everything to make them comfortable except the furniture. There is no necessity for hiring carpenters nor for buying lumber. 1 know one lady out at East Lake who put up a tent before she saw a Kenyon take-down house. She said the cost of the tent was only a part, of her expense, and after she had finished figuring she said it would have been cheaper for her to have bought a Kenyon house at High’s. Even now, she hasn’t a summer home as beautiful and as cozy as mine. For I happened to see a Kenyon house before I bought a tent. Eor those who didn't read what I wrote about, these houses, I might, mention that they come in sizes from one to eight rooms, hi fact, it is possible to get a child’s play house, and if a house larger than one with eight rooms is desired, this is easily accomplished by adding on units on the smaller houses. The demand, however, is for the houses of the one, two and three room variety. The canvas fabric which covers the very substantial framework is very heavy and specially made. It is of a rich, brownish hue, and is treated by a process which ren ders it not only absolutely weath er-proof but also vermin proof. Mosquitoes, Hies, frogs, snakes or other objectionable creeping or Hying things are unknown in my Kenyon house. The floor is set upon a stake foundation which comes with the house, and there are no openings in my little home which are not screened with rust proof screens. The windows, which may be used in very inclem ent weather, are made of fiberloid, a flexible, transparent material, and they consist of eight lights each. These windows are operat ed by cords from the inside. The door is just like doors in other houses except that it consists of screen over the framework with a canvas coyer when the weather is too bad. One of the nicest things about these Kenyon take-down houses is the ease with which the frame work is erected. Every piece is marked so that it is easily identi fied. and it only takes a few min utes’ work to put up the frame ready for the canvas. Since 1 have had my house up 1 have slept through some very heavy rain storms, but the water was all on the outside. The inside was as dry as any other house—dryer than some, for shingle roofs and tin roofs have a habit of letting in water frequently. PAGE THREE I—MAGAZINE SECTION There has been plenty of wind, too, to demonstrate to me that I • it can safely weather any storm we may have. I feel perfectly safe and I am thoroughly enjoying my self. The one-room house which they have set up in the furniture de partment at High's is furnished with appropriate furniture and it looks very inviting. After a while lam going to get similar furniture for my house and then T am ready to experiment with living in the open next winter. I find that the houses may be comfortably heated and that the air is fresh at all times because of the ideal way in which they are ventilated. I had occasion a few nights ago to thoroughly appreciate the way in which lam now living. I spent the night in town with a friend of mine in a room which was stuffy, notwithstanding the fact that I had every window wide open. When I got up in the morning I didn't feel as if I had rested at all. The difference was surprising to me. And it will he something ex traordinary which keeps me from my open air home another night.* As T wrote before. T now know what it is to enjoy the cool, fresh, pure air of the open. I know what it is to sleep -well and t« have good health. From tvhat I have learn ed recently I believe that hundreds of others in Atlanta will do as I have done. I believe that Kenyon take-down houses will spring up on vacant, shady lots in the suburbs this sum mer and that the«colony of open air enthusiasts will be greatly en larged. If it is not in Atlanta, it will be at the seashore or at the moun tains. The rent of a summer home would buy a good-sized Kenyon house. A place to put it up is all that is needed. And when it comes time to move back home for the winter, the Kenyon take down house can be packed in a few minutes and can be used in Atlanta t during the winter or stored away until next summer. Mine will not be stored unless I change my mind. For I feel that I can be comfortable the year ’round and I have all the comforts of home. And, best of all, I am happy and— Have good health. The High store has interesting booklets, handsomely illustrated, telling all about these Kenyon take-down houses, which will be sent to those who do not find it convenient to visit the store and see just how delightful they are.
