The firm showed a 38-foot single
bedroom deluxe model and an 18-foot

with the latest luxuries of the busi-

and wiring and six-inch junior /

Robert Sedlak, president of the Mo
bile Homes Manufacturers Associa-
tion, "the industry is convinced that
there has now been established a firm,
continuing market. Our survey shows
that, of all new purchasers, go per
cent have previously lived in mobile
homes"
Sedlak estimated that about 20 per
cent of sales in 1866 were to young
married couples as against 10 per
cent 10 years ago. This was brought
about because of the economy and
movability which enables them to
move anywhere opportunity may take
them," Sedlak added.
