Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1958)

See your local Savings and Loan Association: Every one of these mortgage-lending associations knows about these wonderful Story-Book Homes. A number of them have already financed construction of models in various areas of the country, and will gladly discuss how you can arrange to buy one for your family. John R. Gallaudet, of the United Savings and Loan Association of Trenton, N. J., says: “We should like to compliment you on the many new ways these homes will serve family living. We consider them a fine investment, with their excellent planning and convertibility.” If you have some cash savings, if you own a piece of land, or if you now own a house and would like »to change to a Story-Book Home — go to your local Savings and Loan Association. They will explain how a mortgage can be arranged for you — whether you plan to buy a home, have it built, or finish it yourself. Elsewhere in this magazine you will find a list giving the names of builders of the Story-Book Homes . . . and the address where you can visit their completed model houses. Of course, you can see one of the original models in Princeton Manor, at Princeton, N. J. If there are none close to you, the bank will know and recommend reputable builders who will construct your home according to the plans and specifications you select. Even if you are thinking of moving to Florida, you’ll find a StoryBook model home on Sabal Island, post office Boynton Beach, Fla. (Builder: A. Paul Young) You will also be able to get help from your savings bank if you want a builder to erect the “shell” and finish much of the interior yourself. Many builders now offer to do this. “ Owner-finished ” cuts costs way doivn: The plans and specifications tell “what” and “where” materials go. Then you do all the painting, lay your Tile-Tex floors with a do-it-yourself kit, and panel your walls with floor-to-ceiling sheets of prefinished Weldwood by U. S. Plywood. Clever “do-it-yourself” men can easily finish the home, swimming pool and all, for less than $19,000. Or they can finish the main house for only about $14,000, and add the pool, carport, and garage later. (Note: All house prices quoted are estimates, and vary by locality. Costs of land and kitchen appliances are extra.) A Big Swimming Pool, Complete Kit only $795. You can also build a swimming pool, out of doors, close to your house, and cover it later. Or, do this for your present home. Story-Book Homes (a non-profit, cooperative organization to aid in home building) will procure for you a complete swimming pool kit for a big 16 x 32-ft. pool for only $795, plus freight charges. This includes everything for a complete pool (the same as one named after a famous TV star and champion swimmer) . This includes the plastic pool, the filter, the knock-down forms that bolt together, all the fittings, pipe, vacuum lines, etc. Everything you need for a pool that would cost thousands of dollars!
