In co n trast to the w ar-fo ste red

Inside and out the stru c tu re s are

painted and interiors finished
w ith light stains. A t th e facto ry
most fu rn itu re is built in and
plum bing and light fix tu res in ­

Only 5 to 10 per cent of the
total w ork of constructing th e
fully furnished hom e rem ains to
be done in the field, principally
the placing of sections on founda­
tions and joining the units. Two
sections form a one-bedroom
home, three sections a tw o -b ed ­
room stru ctu re and four sections
a three-bedroom home. In te rio r
arran g em en t of sections for each
size of house is planned for m ost
efficient utilization of th e space.
P roved in A dvance
A lready perfected and te ste d b y
actu al use before there arose th e
need of building cities for atom ic

houses w ere selected for m ass
production and erection a t these

ease of tran sp o rtatio n and savings
in m aterial and erection tim e in ­

aw arded to six differen t firm s, all

Into th e houses w en t 35 m illion
