What is now Levittown, Long Island, was largely potato farms in the summer of 1947. Then the family firm of Levitt and Sons —Abraham Levitt and his sons, Alfred and William — started building low-cost houses there. Today Levittown is a complete garden community with over 13, noe ■, sg puUUu * • «c«cn... . big playgrounds, handball courts, softball fields, a complete pro fessional-size baseball park, and five interior village green shop ping centers. The Levitts already have given, or will give, all the recreational facilities to the peo ple of the community. The two bedroom house, with expansion attic for two more bedrooms and bath, came complete with electric stove, refrigerator, automatic washing machine — and this year with television — for $7,990. The Levitts did it through intelligent management, brilliant planning, and bv bringing America’s assem bly line, mass production methods to the antiquated business. As one expert put it, Levittown is an ex ample of extraordinary vision and smart business management. Fragments of an oak-staved churn 1,000 years old were found last year in Northern Ireland.
