They offer at least three things which Hodgson and Sears, Roebuck do not: termite-proof steel frames, airconditioning, fireproof materials. The prefabricated house is also earthquake-proof, can be blown over only...
Sooner or later, as the depression continues, the American people will have to choose between drastic measures. The frame of mind upon which this choice depends is being created right now.
