About This Book

A nationwide campaign manual advocates wider home ownership and improved domestic living by pairing endorsements from public officials with practical how-to guidance. It describes organizational plans for demonstration weeks and model-home exhibits, lists cooperating agencies and leaders, and offers floor plans, furnishing recommendations, sanitation and equipment advice. The text mixes policy arguments about the social importance of stable homes with concrete checklists, decorative suggestions, and community implementation steps designed to help families and civic groups create healthier, more attractive, and more efficiently run households.
