In ' a messaee from Washm,
ion, u. j., wnere ne is attending
a conference nf tha lsjatinnoi
Small Homes Demonstration, W.
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

1939. ' These are for homes cost

The National Sma.ll Homes Dem
onstration and its western branch
are nonprofit organizations. 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.

Good Living Space
The Width Of the hnit nrnne-

Doorways Should
Be Well Planned
In Home Building
The rinnrwnv tn he hnm ,
cupying as it does the focal point
of the building, should carry the
dignity that is demanded of it.
Beauty in doorways runs the
gamut of design all the way from
simplicity to antique hand-carved
portals. Many of the fine old
doors of other centuries are now
available to homes of definite ar
chitectural design and do not cost
much more than just a plain door
