Kaiser Home
Partner Has
Dream House

Fritz Burns. Los ngeles. head
man OF Henry Kaiser's mass home
building venture. who opened his
own postwar house" to the public
this week, disclosed today that the
two-bedroom dream home had cost
hi s175.000.
The one-story. U-shaped, stone
and plywood structure is equipped
with all the electronic and mechan-
ical gadgets a housewife could
want 'packaged unit" bathrooms
and Kitchens, die-stamped out OF
metal for mass-production; a fully
automatic laundry that tesses
clothes out ready to iron; dust
precipitating air conditioning. and
even a revolutionary germ-killing
lighting system.
''In the first place" Burns said,
"the lot ton fashionable Wiltshire
boulevard) cost $4,000. The rest
was eaten up in research and ex.
Fermentation. We became perfec.
tionists and asked manufacturers
to make things they never had
made before. Our only consolation
Is that we now know more about
building postwar houses than any
one else"
When Burns, a wealthy. 4s year
old contractor. started building
the house a year ago he had no
idea he ever would become asso-
ciated with Henry Kaiser. He
planned to use the model home TO
exploit his own business.
But now. as president OF Kaiser
Community Homes. Inc, he's too
busy planning to turn out homes
by the thousands to worry much
longer about his headache house"
I'm not sorry built 1t, but our
Job now is to turn out good houses
as fast as we can to relieve the
nations need" he said.
