Excerpt from Housing
During the last decade, there has been an increasing need for a book which would describe the emergence of the housing industry as a modern efficient industry and the concurrent development of today's merchant or operative home builder.
This volume is a collection of especially written articles on various phases of this subject. We term ourselves the editors and not the authors, since our task has merely been the correlation of these articles, rewritten with the objective of giving continuity and order to the various contributors articles.
Among these contributors are such outstanding experts in the field as Miles Colean, Herbert Colton, Tax Foundation of New York, the Urban Land Institute, and the editors of The American Builder, Practical Builder, and others. Credit is also due Conrad P. Harness, Public Relations Director of the National Association of Home Builders. Under the direction of the NAHB Public Relations Committee, then chairmanned by Emil Gould, home builder of Miami, Florida, and Leonard Frank, home builder of Long Island, New York, Chairman of the NAHB Educational Committee, he helped in the preparation, supervision, direction and final assembly of the information in this book.
