Summer Cottage Boom Continues Families in all parts of the country are now enjoying sepa- | rate summer homes. The boom in the so-called cot- tage got off to a fast start fol- lowing World War II and has been gaining momentum ever since. Today mountains and deserts and plains and woods are filled with structures rang- ing from tiny ten-by-twenty bunkhouses to luxurious homes in the hundred-thousand-doliar elass. The trend has not been re- stricted to one or two areas, but has flourished all the way from the Atlantic seaboard to the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast, providing a week-end, leisure -time retreat for city dwellers. Although such structures are intended primarily for use dur- fing the mild summer months, they can be coverted at rea- the house to provide fuel at all times for various automatic gas appliances such as kitchen range, refrigerator, water heat- er, room heater, clothes dryer, and -- in remote areas -- light.
