LOCAL BlklMNG MATERUL MEN RE¬ TURN FROM $-DAV MEEHNG   IN ATLANTIC CITY
A new type of building service, designed to make It easier for con¬ sumers to buy new homes and home improvements, was the basis of a 6 day training course held at .At¬ lantic City. N. J., last week and at¬ tended by Andrew O. Kern, presi- dent of Tlie Trumbower Co., and one of his staff. A. H. Dreisbach.
Special emphasis at the school. held under the auspices of Jolins- Manvllle. was placed on the Housing OuUd system of consumer service and selling. The basic Idea t>ehlnd the plan, according to Mr. Kem, is the coordination of the varied ser¬ vices of the building industry so that its products, ranging aU the way from a small repair Job to a com¬ plete new home, can be bought as a unit or "p.ackage" In the same manner that automobiles, radios and other products are purchased.
"The Housing Ouild, while na¬ tional in scope, is lOC: local In practice. Oulld meml>ers include architects, contractors, material sup¬ pliers, realtors, finance agencle.s, etc.—in short, all factors whose ser¬ vices are required in the normal building or remodelling Job. Tlie plan usurps none of the perroga- tlves of each factor in the industry, but rather places a trained sales force In the fleld to seU the ma¬ terials and services of all."
Authorities who have studied the situation agree, that without or- ganizesd selling the construction in¬ dustry cannot do Its part in re¬ ducing unemployment and provldUig much needed housing faculties.
