22 Miracles Ahead! 



sleeping, washing and leisure. There could be rooms for hob- 

 bies, and special acoustical rooms for radio and television," 

 he explains. 



"The same evolution would surely occur with mass-pro- 

 duced rooms that occurred with the automobile. There would 

 be the possibility of buying and selling second-hand rooms. 

 This would bring these superior living units within the reach 

 of even the lowest income groups. 



"Similar rooms, called 'roomettes/ are now made for Pull- 

 man cars, their major elements stamped out by machine and 

 quickly assembled into complete units. It is only a short step 

 from this to the mass production of rooms for your own 

 home. 



"A truck could back up to your house and a complete 

 sleeping room, bathing room, cooking room or eating room, 

 for example, could be unloaded and set in place. The process 

 would be almost as simple as plugging in the flexible copper 

 connections of your present refrigerator or washing machine. 

 With the most essential rooms installed, your home would be 

 ready for living. Then you could plan for additional rooms to 

 add extra pleasure and convenience to life. At your photo- 

 graphic dealer's you could select a dark room. You could find 

 a special music room at your department or music store. If 

 additional nursery or sleeping space were needed, the required 

 rooms could be quickly installed. If the family became smaller, 

 rooms no longer necessary could be sold, or 'traded in' on 

 rooms for hobbies or whatever you might wish. 



"By creating the home in contrast to the house, by provid- 

 ing greater living convenience, comfort and enjoyment, by 

 freeing the individual for richer cultural development, and 

 by doing these things in a way which brings them down 

 within reach of millions this conception could provide bet- 

 ter living for the present generation."
