The rising need and demand for
this type of housing is best shown
by rising sales during the last 23
years. .
The mobilehome as it is known
today, did not appear on the scene
until World War II. Prior to that

The merits of combining mobility
with year-round shelter, however,
became apparent even in those

years and were proved during the
wartime period.
World War 11 demonstrated that
when emergency housing is 'needed
• . and needed quickly . . the
mobilehome is the answer.
In Orange, Texas, where the pre-
war population of 4,700 suddenly
mushroomed to 50,000; in Seneca,
III., where the population swelled
to seven times its pre-war size; and
in such wideld separated commun-
ities as Richmond, Calif., and Oak
Ridge, Tenn., government and
privately owned mobilehomes
solved a critical housing problem.
In all. the U.S. government pur-
chased about 35,500 mobile homes
during the war years.
Thus World War II helped dem;

this prochict. They wanted more
complete homes, however: larger
ones with more conveniences. It
was in these post-war years that
mobile living- came of age.
Today's mobilehome is a com-
plete, independent home on wheels.
While basic floor .plans are some-
what standardized, with living room
in front, bedroom at the rear, and
kitchen and bath in between, there
are many variations designed to
accomodate the different needs of
the purchasers.
Many of these homes have built-
in television, air conditioning, auto-
matic garbage disposal units and
automatic washing machines, and
scores of other stationary home.
Almost all mobile -conveniences not
found in the average homes built
today have complete baths, some
with tub or shower alone.
Retailing generally in the $2,800
to $7,000 price range, they are sold
complete with all furnishings and
major appliances.

This is very important and like-
ly the key to profits front now on.
United 'States feed lot operators
are interested m Canadian pattle.
The prices they are willing to pay
Sets the floor price for feeders in
Alberta.
If the Ontario feeder is going to
buy against the United States in
Alberta and then sell finished cat-
tle against the United States mar-
ket he will have to be equally ef
ficient in feeding cattle in order to
stay in the business.
This means feeding in a way to
get the lowest cost. per pound of
gain.
Everyone in the beef cattle busi-
ness in Ontario should be a mis-
sionary for efficiency in feeding.
It is practically certain that
there are not enough cattle left
on feed in feedlots or. on' pasture
to bring the same number. of Reds
and Blues to market as has been
the case, up to date this year.
Therefore, there is an assured out-
let for good cattle and farmers
should not be afraid to hold them
back unless cattle are getting too
heavy.
Hogs
If there is one type of farming
that has gone along with the dairy
industry it is the raising of hogs
and I know there was a feeling
this Spring that the hog industry
was not in a healthy state, that
the Western farmers were going
I into hog raising owing to the sur-
plus of grain they had on their
farms, and there 'was a certain
amount of fear amongst the East-
ern farmers that their prices would
drop below the floor and that it
would be difficult for the. Govern-
ment to maintain the $23.00 per
hundred poungs, Grade A hogs,
at Toronto, But this has not been
the case, as yeti know, for this
-week the prices have gone up for
Grade A hogs to $28.75 in Toronto
and we are marketing 122,500 hogs
per week for the first 27 weeks of
this year. I grant you this is an
eight per cen.t increase over last
year, but Eastern Canada have
increased the hog population,
whereas Western Canada have
dropped and there are still no de-
finite signs that the West is going
into hog raising, or that the East
is reducing numbers. We are ex-
porting' of that number, in dressed
l'form, the equivalent of 16,189 hogs
per week, or 132% of our grad-
in.gs. We had in storage the first
of July in the neighborhood of 22
million pounds, the equivalent of
220.000 hogs, not two weeks' grad -
inks. The outlook is a very good
one, both in Canada and the Unit-
ed States and, if, the Canadian
farmer does not increase his hog
numbers to a great extent, the hog
producer can be assured of a fair
price during the months that lie
ahead.

New Duo -Therm Built-in Furnaces
the first fully -concealed approved furnace for mobile homes
• 43,000 BTU output—"closed circuit"
designed to heat the longest and widest
Now you can "build -in" a central heating plant,like you "build -in" other modern
mobile home appliances!
• Duo-Therm's new Built -1n Oil Furnace with a terrific 43,000 BTU output, can
be completely enclosed in a space 20" wide by 22" deep. (less than 2 feet
square).
This is the first mobile home furnace approved for complete enclosure by
• Underwriters' Laboratories! Installed, it resembles a closet or paneled alcove.
You see no exposed flue pipes or casings that are typical of some so-called
furnaces.
It Uses Ceiling Air to Heat Evenly!
For the first time, exclusive, positive counthr-flow heating. The air is pushed,
not pulled, through the furnace and duct -work. At the top of the Duo -Therm
Furnace—higher than on any other heating unit—is a large 10" x 14" air intake.
Air is drawn in by a deluxe 8 -inch, counter -flow blower, powered liy a top-quality,
slow -speed, qtliet running, split capacitor motor. This ceiling air is mixed with
fresh air, heated, and forced through ducts into your coach at floor level.
This is Duo -Therm counter -flow "Closed Circuit" heat. It eliminates drafts,
cold floors and hot ceilings—saves fuel by recirculating ceiling heat.
And At The "Heart" Of This
Great New Furnace . . .
... an exclusive 14" Dual -Chamber Burner.
The patented Duo -Therm burner, famous
for its clean blue flame that burns quietly
at any Setting. Six stage air injection
mixes fuel and air at scientific ratio, gets
• the most heat, from every drop of oil., On
high fire the flame "floats" at the top of
burner, mushrooms to the sides of the Mi-
sted heat chamber, giving greater heat
