Levitt showed off a new three-bedroom, two-living-room house (with garage) for $10,990, some 30,000 people stood in line to inspect it.

President Quirino's Liberal administration could...
...bellicose, came to Kanab in a house trailer, with some vague agreement to work on Wilson's claims. The partners fought, made up, fought again. One day last week Holland and Wilson were observed in town, apparently in a rare mood of good fellowship. They set off to inspect new claims, returned that night, and made plans to meet the next...
