The Famous Fifty And Other Favorite Homes

<div>Paperback book with illustrated color covers with a dark blue background. The front cover has the title at the top and "The Sterling System**" at the bottom. The front cover also shows a log cut, with an illustration of a family sitting in front of a fireplace drawn inside the circle of the log. The trunk of the log extends back towards the spine, curls around, and then extends into the distance on the back cover. While the log goes from spine to center of the back cover, the illustration around the log shows a winter forest with snow on the ground, and a sky in sunset or dawn in the background. The spine itself is quite worn, and has many tears and worn spots, some that expose the binding underneath. The inside covers show blue print designs. There is also a paper "flyer" that has been stuck in the back cover. Size: 8.25" x 10.5"</div><div><br /></div><div>**The<b> </b>International Mill and Timber Company, doing business as Sterling Homes,<b> </b>was founded in 1915 by Walter D.
