President, Home Builders Association OF
Metropolitan WASHINGTON
During 81 years Of service to
the industry and the public,
the Home Builders Associa-
ton Of Metropolitan WASH
ington has grown to be the
fourth largest group of builders
In the country affiliated with the
National Association of Home
Builders.
Today, our association has $50
members. When 1t was organized
in 1924. there were only II men,
berS.
The members of the organiza-
ton consist of active, operative
builders. building supply houses.
banks, building and loan associ-
ations, mortgage bankers and
subcontractors.
The cardinal reason why this
association was formed back
during the roaring '20s was that
virtually all segments of the
construction industry were well
organized except the residential
home builders. They did not
have any form Of organization
to consolidate their efforts.
Each builder was an isolation
list, and misunderstanding were
many. AS a result. both the in
dustry and the public suffered.
Many Problems Faced
It was at this time that Her.
bert T. Shannon, Waverly Taylor
Morris Cafritz, James c. Wilkes
and other leaders in the COM
munity decided to organize the
missing link in the real estate
and construction chain-the
Home Builders of the Metropol'
itan Washington Area.
/ Through the years, our or
ganization has grown under the
leadership of the community

weekly naison with the building
departments of the District and
all Of the municipalities within
the Metropolitan Washington
Area.
The association has also added
a Public Relations Department
which works closely with the
Public Relations Committee
whose duty it is to sponsor Ma
tional Home Week and other
public relations programs de-
signed to help our members sell
their products and houses and
their services.
We also have an insurance
department which offers group
workmen's compensation pro-
gram. and group accident, sick
ness and disqualification plan.
1t is impossible in a brief
article to go into the details of
the many activities of the asso-
citation. We can only join with
other com munity groups in
thanking a small body of Wash
ington builders who envisioned

outstanding builders who were
not only construction experts.
but were also civic leaders.
During the intervening years
between 1924 and 1855 the asso-
citation has had to face many
diversified problems-bank clos
ings and failures-NRA controls
the lack of construction money
and mortgage loans-socialistic
housing-and the complex ques-
ton of supplying adequate hous-
ing at economic prices to the
thousands of new prospective
home owners who have entered
the market since the conclusion
of World War II.
In 1914 our organization first
published the Home Builders
Monthly, the first magazine of
it's type produced by any or
ganization in the home building
industry.
Home Show Started
In 1947, under the leadership
of Donal L. Chamberlin and
Clarence w. Gosnell, the Wash
ington builders group organized
and produced what has now be-
come the most outstanding
Home Show in the country. The
10th anniversary of this exposi-
ton will be celebrated next Feb
ruary 18 through February 26,
1856, at the National Guard
Armory.
Within the past few years. we
have added to the services which
we give to our members by Or
ganizing a technical department
under the supervision of an ex-
perienced engineer whose duty
is to help our members with
their problems at the Veterans
Administration and the Federal
Housing Administration.
