...development sites. The nation's biggest builder, ITT Levitt, operates one of the most modern of these plants in Battle Creek, Mich., turning out one complete house every hour. The modules are hauled to the building sites, where cranes hoist them into place on prepared foundations and workers nail and bolt them together in 20 minutes. Cost of an average town house...

Estée Lauder has picked Coffee Brandy and Ginger Brandy for her nail polishes and Ripe Plum for her blushers. On the theory that a French phrase or two is equally intoxicating, Christian Dior has countered with Chataigne Doré eye shadow and Brume de Rose lipstick...
