A full-page advertisement with a photograph of a Tudor house and of the fittings supplied by named manufacturers (Crane, Kelvinator, Nokol and others). Excerpts:
High Grade Materials of NATIONAL REPUTATION have made WADE HOMES the most desirable dwellings of smart LONG ISLAND. […]
The appointments are the finest products of leading manufacturers and carry with them the prestige of a national reputation. The bathroom, ultra modern in design and appointment, is installed by CRANE. The DOMESTIC SCIENCE KITCHEN CABINETS and the KELVINATOR refrigerator signify the home efficiency that the WADE dwellings have provided. Among the other features are exquisite CRETAN STONE FIREPLACES provided by WILLIAM H. JACKSON […]
Due to the present unusual economic situation, the WADE HOMES were constructed at far less than the cost would be under normal conditions. This accounts for the extraordinarily low price of these high type dwellings. The new State Park at Hempstead, large, magnificent lake, famous country clubs, golf courses, tennis courts, flying fields, schools, churches and a commercial center are nearby.
