THE FRONTISPIECE 



HERE is just a glimpse, but an intriguing one, of some of the 

 things which may be possible in the postwar future. 



Note the interesting feature of the prefabricated house de- 

 signed by Simon Breines. A sheet of water on the house's roof 

 helps keep it cool in the summertime. 



Just below is the Aerocar, designed by William Stout for 

 Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation. For air trips, the 

 combined wings and outrigger can be attached and the Aero- 

 car leaves the highway for swift cross-country flights. 



Upper right is Stout's Helicab. It will be just the thing, he 

 says, for city commuters to use between office and home. 



The "prefab" house below, and the trains, trucks, buses and 

 automobiles further down, all will be more attractive and com- 

 fortable, and give better service at low cost because of war- 

 time advances in the use of light metals, plastics, plastic- 

 bonded plywood and glass. 



Study carefully the apartment house of the future, designed 

 by Walter B. Sanders. The building would consist of two dis- 

 tinct elements: the structural frame, including floors and ceil- 

 ings, and the individual apartments of the tenants. Prefabri- 

 cate wall and partition units could be installed on order, with 

 the number and placement of windows, size of rooms and 

 closets left up to you.
