Hit by Canada's minor reces-

reports a 30 percent drop in'
mobile home sales. •
"We don't expect to catch up
this year but prospects for 1959
appear to be fine," Manager Bill
Smith said this week.
The firm now employs 1.15
men,. compared to '200 a year

Major cause of the decline in
sales, Mr. Smith indicated, has
been the inactivity in the con-
struction '-.industry, Workers who
move from project to project
constitute a large proportion of
the mobile home market.
Economists see the present
recession coming to an end and
forecasts for 1959 are bright,
To stimulate sales, General

sion to design and produce cus-
tom mobile units for particular
requirements, These include field
offices, cafeterias, bunkhouses
and other specialized units.
