How to be a 'Man' in the '30s

My wife doesn't like our Dining room light fixture. The original fixture was replaced a few years ago by the PO. Though we have quite a few records from when the house was built, we don't seem to have any information on the old light.

If any one has suggestions for a dining room light that would match a 1939 cape cod would be helpful.

Recently I was looking at old Sears house catalogs. It's very impressive that they had all of these houses "in stock". Is seems that no two are the same inside or out. That's certainly not like the local Dominion or M/I homes, where several layouts and facades are mixed and matched for a given neighborhood.

Reading some of the advertisements of cape cods for ideas I ran across this line, "Men are judged largely by the home they live in. A home like the Milford is a credit to you, your family and every neighborhood."
