features a patented, a log-on-log type of
construction in which all the logs are
specially milled, precut and numbered. If
you are in the market for a cabin, lodge,
or even a year-round log home, these units
are well worth investigating. Actually,
when you talk to one of Ward’s dealers,
you will find that there are perhaps more
of their units which serve as permanent
year-round homes than as vacation cabins.
There is good reason for this. These
cabins combine the beauty and style of the
past with modern engineering techniques.
Project this into a four, five or six room
“house,” and the effects are astonishing.
They have made a realistic effort to keep
prices within the reach of most prospective
buyers. For instance, the materials (see
list at the end of this article) for a 14xl6-ft.
cabin runs to about $1100. A three room
place runs under $1700 and a five room
home can be had for about $3400. These
prices include detailed plans that cover
every phase of construction.
