Excerpt from The Housing Book: Containing Photographic Reproductions, With Floor Plans of Workingmen's Homes; One and Two Family Houses of Frame, Brick, Stucco and Concrete Construction; Also Four, Six and Nine Family Apartments
N this present day when peace is hovering over the world, with I all the questions of reconstructions and read justments to be set tled, among the all important problems facing the country is the one of industrial housing. The scarcity of suitable homes for working men is the starting point. What is true of one industrial center is true of the next, and so on through the whole chain of mill and factory towns, steel and mining centers throughout the country. A sporadic movement for better homes for working men started some years ago. Port Sunlight, England, may be hailed as a pioneer and recently here and there in the United States employers of large numbers of men, reading the signs of the times, animated in part by a philanthropic spirit, and influenced by the economic side of the situation, have in stituted small colonies for housing their help, near their industrial plants.
