Schult garnered a force of former buggy and wagon craftsmen. His business mushroomed and one manufacturer after another went into the business. There now are more than 250 plants, through-out the country. Trailers began blossoming into mobilehomes »s an outgrowth of the war housing problem, when thousands of transient workers were forced to avail themselves of this type of living, only to find it had many advantages.
