New Trier Music Leader Ia Music Contest Judge Modern Home to Be Factory Made, Expert Declares Before the close of th~ 1933 Chicago World's fair, American houses will be manufactured in factories and home buyers can place their orders by mail and get their domiciles back by truck in twenty-four hours, said Pierre Blouke A. I. A., speaking this week befor the Chicago "Own Your Home" exposition which he laid out on the city block behind the Water Tower on Chicago avenue. Speaking on "Advances in American Home Building,, Mr. Blouke stated that houses in the near future will not have heating plants but will be warmt:d from the same electric light bulbs that furnish the illumination. Exterior walls will ·be made of t~o thicknesses of ·plate glass, with space left between them that will provide a vacuum that will make these structures warm in winter and cool in hot weather. Moreover these houses will come with the essential furniture built in anrl fastened as is done now on board ship, with a minimum of "loose" pieces in well furnished homes. Such things as sofa pillows. bookends. and knickknacks will be entirely passe, said the speaker. Every house will be equipped with a huilt-in typewriter which will adrl to the efficiency of things and on which mother can type the menus and the children their lessons. Harvey Wiley Corbett, New York. chairman of the Chicag-o Worlcf s Fair Ar~hitectural committee, will huild th e fir~t hou se of this kino for his wife within thf' next year in New York, said Mr. Blouke. Exposition visitqrs plied the speaker with questions when he said that homes would be manufactured within the next four vears like automobiles. assembled in · var_ious centers and delivered f ul~y fini"hed to the buildinn- site. "This method of h;ndling residence . construction will make it possible to produce American homes for at least half their present cost," said Mr. Blouke. "As in the manufacture of automobiles, improvements, speed and efficiency can be introduced into 'home factories' so the finished structures will cost much less thaQ they do now. "Nor will individuality of design be sacrificed in manuf~cturing automobiles in factories. As the bewildered visitor to any automobile show knows, it is hardly possible now to choose from the great array of colors, sizes and designs on the market. 'Home factories' too will have their highly paid designers who will achieve a great variety of home 'models' so the most artistic people will be enchanted." Frtsb Stroawbury oand French .
