Radford company sold a number of books under their name, but also provided their
plans to lumber dealers and builders for distribution to customers. Many
of those books are unattributed, but they are easy to identify by comparing
the plans with the books and <a href="https://www.antiquehomestyle.com/primary-sources/american-builder/index.htm" rel="nofollow"><em>American
Builder</em></a> magazine which was in publication for several decades.... and a 1924 brochure distributed by the
