‘DREAM HOME’ | IS ON THE WAY

It Will Be Air-Conditioned Ang Free From Dirt.

There's a “dream bene” waiting for you in this post-war world . . . sometime in 194x! It’s a home completely air-condi-tioned, dust and dirt removed elecusta oan. There will be no groping in dark closets, for door switches automatically will “turn lights on and off. And no longer will the housewife trudge up and down the basement stairs to do the family wash. The laundry will be a section of the kitchen—an electric kitchen compact in all appointments to eliminate every step possible, For your radio there will be a special outlet which will concentrate aerial, ground and. power connections under a single wall plate. Automatic control ; In the kitchen, an electric range will cook meals automatically with a temperature control. - A new type of electric refrigerator (some already are on the market) will provide storage of frozen foods. An electric dish washer will be as common a part of the kitchen as the stove has been. In the laundry department of this same kitchen the water will be heated electrically, and clothes will be washed, rinsed and damp dried in.. an... automatic... washer, . then thoroughly aried in an: electric orier. An electri ironer also will he commonplace, The 194x living (room will ‘be beautified by fluorescent lighting, and there will be radio-television. A room cooler will keep you comfortable in summer, Healthful living will keynote the “dream home” bedrooms, for there will be sunlamps, ‘infrared heaters and rae bactericidal lamps to Pre Srtxsrne bacteria Shue bathroom will glow with fluorescent lamps to aid in shaving and for milady’s makeup. A builtin electric heater will provide comfort on chilly mornings. The “man of the house” will have a streamlined work bench and the

heating plant will be without the!

Among new homes developments springing up in the north section of the city is the 23-house project nearing completion on Udell st., between Harding and Riverside dr.

And the few houses not already sold can’t be offered until some of the needed supplies are available. The houses that have been completed were “snapped up” even before the plaster dried. As in the case of Howard Osswald, yard locomotive engineer for the

It's a Racket! Wisconsin and Illinois authorities have issued a warning against re-

vival of the .old “gyp” racket in home repairs. An apparently reputable contractor appears at a home where repairs are needed under the guise of making those repairs for a substantial saving in exchange for using the house as a “model home.” An “official” sign is placed outside. : The home owner later finds that the agreement he signed includes a certificate of satisfactory completion of the job—buried in fine print. © The materials usually are inferior and the workmanship far below par . . . but the home-owner finds—when he refuses to pay—that he has signed an iron-clad note and release. Since the note has been discounted by the “contractor” at the office of a loan company, the owne: finds the agreement has been #0 carefully drawn that it cannot be broken in court. And the victimized home-owner pays.
