Mamie smiled her way through some 200 persons spilling around the sidewalk (mostly women and children) and entered the Congrelephant.

At one location, a machine cut and shaped a door and drilled all the holes for hardware in ten seconds; machines automatically sprayed a first coat of paint onto small pieces of wood, then other machines sanded them down for a second coat. In exactly one hour, House No. 66,657 was ready to be loaded aboard a waiting trailer, along with bathtub, water heater, cabinets, sinks, etc. By next evening it was erected...
