On top of this there are

You may now borrow up

Elderly persons are given
wide latitude to purchase a

To make the situation
seem more rosy, there is
plenty of conventional money
available from insurance
companies, building and loan
associations and retirement
funds looking for mortgages
in which to invest. Competi-
ton and the effects of Presi-

have brought this type of
loan closer to the FHA-VA

brought on by the postwar
boom. This trend has COM
PEELED builders to rack their
brains for methods of pro-
viding better houses at less
cost to meet the competition.
Central air conditioning,
a luxury no more than five
years ago, is almost a must
in housing now under con-

rooms, walk-in closets, silent
electric switches and de luxe
family rooms are common

Hidden behind all these

Model IT. to SpIit-LeveI

A study by Fortune maga-
zine concluded that home
building in the decade after
World War II "added more
than $100 billion to our ma
tional production" 1t said
also:
Bigger than all utilities,
much bigger than railroad

American prosperity since
World War II in much the
same manner as the then

Home building casts a
brighter glow over the Ameri-
can economy as a whole than
any other single industry.
Indeed, residential con-
struction opens more jobs to
more people in more lines
of business than any other
industry. 1t has an immense
impact on the pay envelopes
of America.
The individual home build
er and his crew of workmen
may be the key figures in
this economic panorama but,
numerically, they are only a
small fraction of the work.

house is built.
For the rate of home build
ing strongly influences the
demand for home appliances,
home furnishings and other
consumer durableS. 1t brings
new business to the produc-
ers of lumber, bricks, cement,
shingles, glass, paint, tile,
nails, bath tubs, furnaces.
air conditioners, electric light
switches and wiring.
Kitchen Godsets
Consider what new homes
mean in terms of kitchen
equipment alone. They mean
markets for ranges, wall
ovens, sinks, refrigerators,
deep freezes, waste grinders,
dishwashers. waSher-dryers,
and, perhaps, even new pots
and pans.
Most families moving into
a new home spend more than
$1,000 on new furnishings the
first year. These include such
items as wall-to-wall carpet
ing, drapes, various pieces of
furniture, Iawnmowers and
barbecue equipment.
A neighborhood of new
homes creates a demand for
stores, schools, churches,
highways, bowling alleys,
theaters and swimming pools.
Huge new shopping areas
give employment not only to
the persons who build them
and produce the things that
go into them. but to the
men and women who run
them.
