Box 429 EXETER, Ontario North America has a long history of migrating popWations, and this influence has persisted into modern times, in particular that of the westward movement of settlers and the seasonal migration of harvest workers. With the depression years of the 1930's and their ac- companying social migrations, came the introduction of the vehicular home or trailer and the organized production of the first structures which could be called mobile homes. These units were quite small, poorly constructed and lacked d the amenities of today's large all facilities double-wides are increasing. By siting two single, compatible units side by side, floor areas up to 1440 square feet can be achieved giving the mobile home spatial parity with conventional housing. Fourteen foot wide units are now being produced where legislation permits their movement on public roads. Greater production of these units can be expected as more provinces and states provide appropriate transport legislation. Some manufacturers have evtoped proto-type sixteen foot wide models. The rate of production of mobile omes increased slowly from the ineteen thirties until the early ineteen sixties. About 1960 anufacturers began using ssembly line techniques and aid greater attention to the Fictional design of the unit. nproved production techniques suited in lower per squar.e foot st. CC These savings are ndrffally ssed on to the consumer by eady improvement of the oduct and thetinclusionof basic rnishings, furniture and ap- ances as a form of product omotion. As the public image of mobile me living improved and the ortage of low cost housing reased, demand for mobile mes grew rapidly in the United tes. Acceptance in Canada has en slower, partly because the rtage of low cost housing has been as -severe in Canada as he U.S. eaters display mobile' es in a manner similar to el homes of conventional struction Sales appeal is erally directed at the sewife and centres on the activeness of the kitchen and hroom, evidence of easy sekeeping, and the at- tiveness and quality of decor ost mobile homes are sold equipped and furnished. A aunt is allowed for items h the customer does not want ded. Buyers are attracted by fact that they can obtain onable, detached, fully shed accommodation with overall carrying charge comparable to monthly payments for an unfurnished apartment of equal size. The attraction of low main• tenance and low initial cost and simple purchasing procedures usually overcomes any negative attitudes caused by the similarity of exterior cladding and design. s and luxurious mobile homes. Early units!weregenerally parked h in poorly kept trader camps and n ti were usually located on the n outskirts of towns and cities or in m non-residential urban areas. a Their use was frequently P _ associated with resource fu development projects, con- Ir struction work, or as ac- re commodation for transient co workers. The inhabitants were = looked upon as migrants whose pa contribution to the community st was small and of a temporary "pr nature. to Significant changes have taken ph place in the structural quality of pr the mobile home, and the type of mobile home occupant; Unfor- ho tunately the majority of mobile sh home parks in Canada remain inc E. small, and poorly designed. ho These changes first became Sta ri apparent in California after the he Second World War, where sho massive population growth not 1 disrupted the conventional in t • housing industry, and many U people turned to the mobile home hom as a source of accommodation.
