Mr. Burnham was passing a furniture window one day several years ago. and stopped to look at the displar of sectional book cases. The sign told how you could buy one or more sections at a time. and. add others as you needed them. There were sketches and photographs showing different arrangements of the sections from just the usual two sections and base, up to a large group com- bined with a writing desk.

A range,^ in turn, is only a group of houses or units. When we plan a layout, always it is done unit by unit. This means that each house is directly considered indirect relation to each other.
