Can't seem to find anything like this piece online anywhere. Could anyone help? Found in New Brunswick. Come out of my grandparents old place. Any information would be great. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
If you read this page from top to bottom it says: The largest house for second-hand material in the world. Chicago Wrecking Co. etc. etc
This could have been a one page "flyer" or advertisement for the Company. If you type into a google search "Chicago House Wrecking Co." (caps not needed), there some sites you can look at.
The one I found most interesting is:
Harris Brothers, alias, The Chicago House-Wrecking Company
It has some good information in it. Anyway, you have a look. The last house (#J-181) picture is very interesting, and really looks as if it could be an "Arts & Crafts" house. There are a few clues - mostly the windows. Also the script used for the house plans.
Do you have just the one page? It doesn't look like a catalogue, but, as I say an advertising piece.
Sorry - Here's the live link:

That's better!
But I can't find this one catalog 64 pages I do belive

What is it you want exactly?
Is the page you posted the front of a manual?
How do you know it has 64 pages?
