This 1935 news flash, which typically would have circulated as an add-on to films of the day along with a cartoon or two, is the American National Housing Act's attempt to show that residential housing will be better soon. First, viewers are given a quick history lesson, and introduced to the government's response: funding for projects to make new houses, and in turn, more jobs. The last part follows a couple through a Model House, which they only wish they can afford. But they CAN! Mortgage payments are only $27 a month, after putting down $960 cash.... WE wish.
But you know how wives are...But the wife is more interested in the ample closet space... LOL

My Grandmother had the stove like that in her basement. My moms parents built a house with only $4800 dollars!

That house wasn't even $5000. Depending on where its located now, it's probably 125,000. INSANITY!
