...Jacobs by Architect Wright. L-shaped, it stands with its back to the street corner on an acre lot. The short arm of the L is a big living room, the angle contains kitchen and bathroom, the long arm a hall, two bedrooms and a study. All the rooms face inward, opening tall windows on a garden space. A "carport," roofed and enclosed on two sides, saved money on a garage. About $400 was saved by omitting radiators and heating the house by steam pipes run under the concrete floor slabs...

Wallace offered a set of statistics: "The 1937 production of 53 crops was 13% greater than the 1929 production and 40% greater than the 1936 production, which was considerably curtailed by drought. The effect of this increase in the face of declining business activity and urban purchasing power has been a sharp drop in farm prices. Since December 1936 they have shrunk from 126% of the pre-War level to 104% of the pre-War level. The present level of farm prices is approximately 30% below that of 1929." Hence, concluded...
