C. Bell, Chairman of Western Homes foundation, states that the low-cost small home is now an un rivaled leader in the march of ousiness recovery. 'At the recent annual mrrt. ing ol the U. S. chamber of pnm merce it was generally recognized inai ine aeiacnea lamily dwell ing which may be built and fi nanced in laaa with a cost ranee of trom SO cents to $1 per aay has become the prime mover for lifting the country out of the business depression," Bell declar ed. "The small home is now big business. Its wonderful modern values are mainly responsible for mis nosiuon. But it is th dem onstrations of these values, in ac tual building, during the past three years, together with inW mation persistently broadcast by ouuaing ana financing organiza tions, and by the press, which have convinced the public of the values contained in the modern small home. 70,000 Using It The National Small Rnm uemonsirauon, wnich is repre sented dv western Homes foun dation in six northwestern states, reports tnat 7,000 retail lumber dealers are now using and spon soring me iz xmshd designs of 1939.

They were formed bv bnilriinw inri,,"c try interests simply to demon strate modern designs for small homes of low cost and to distri bute information on home build ing and home ownership. The demonstration homes they are presenting this year represent the results of three years of experi ence and investigation in the housing that private industry can offer the 80 per cent of American families, who can afford to pay only 50 cents to $1 per day for home ownership." Typical of the values offered in the 1939 small home are those embodied in the NSHD No. 1-E design presented by Western Homes Foundation this week. This is in the series of two-story homes. It has been named "the Ethan." The Ethan home blends modern features with rnlnnial He. sign, uniting values of shelter, use ouu ueauiy in a nouse that can be built for from S2 5nn in M nnn in most localities.
