Washington To Have
Permanent Housing Fair
By STERLING GREEN
<Eor Jane Eadsi
WASHINGTON ? A permanent
housing fair in a new million-dol
lar building will open in the fall
in midtown Washington.
The National Association of
Home Builders (NAHBi started
construction Sept. 1 on the eight
story structure, designed as a head
quarters for home owners and
home builders.
Six entire floors, including a
below-street level, will be devot
ed to displays of builders' products,
home equipment and special ex
hibits demonstrating construction
techniques. Are resistance, heating
systems and insulating methods.
The builders' association and its
research institute will occupy the
other three floors.
The idea stemmed from the
Bouw Centrum in Rotterdam.
Holland, an all-European builders'
exhibit center. The NAHB pro
ject is intended to be national in
scope and will Include what the
association describes as "perhaps
the world's most complete refer
ence library" on home construc
tion.
In early plans the building was
also to have housed the offices of
.relate dtrade associations, manu
facturers, engineers and archi
tects.
That idea was scratched when
NAN11B "discovered that manufac
turers wanted so much exhibit
space that six floors would be need
ed for the displays alone. Even
this space will have to be rationed,
an association spokesman said. The
center is expected to become a
sight-seeing attraction.
No admission fee will be charg
ed. and manufacturers will not be
permitted to have their own rep
resentatives on hand. NAHB itself
will provide experts to staff the
pxhibits and explain technical
questions.
Albert M. Cole, housing and
home finance administralor, pre
dicted in a letter to the associa
tion:
"The public that come to this
center and visit its displays of
housing products and services, will,
I am sure, be impressed with the
vitality of our housing industry
and the benefits it offers to our
daily life."
In 1953, the U. S. death rate was

same as in 1952, hut because of

Half-ion beauty
with a two-ten punch
THE new '54 GMC li#?ht - duty shown above
wasn't born just to win beauty contests.
Sure, its sleek lines, full-width grille and pano
ramic windshield are handsomely un-trucklike.
There's the same dashing air about the inside,
too. Three-passenger roominess. Two-tone
color treatment. Harmonizing, supple-as
leather upholstery. Smart instrument panel,
with dials clustered for instant visibility through
a tri-spoke wheel.
But mister?take another look!
A hurly, brawny brute of an engine?a real truck
engine ?makes you think of a Miss America
w ho also can bend horseshoes. One hundred and
twenty-five horsepower Huarantees that this beauty
can heft a top load with more ease and dash
than you've ever seen before.
That's more power than some makers Pack into
their two-ton models. That's more usable Power
than in any other 6-cylinder engine in its class!
And look at that wide, deep box. Jt. holds at
least 8 cubic feet more than even the roomy
53 model. That tail gate isn't only grain-tight?
it's sand-tight.
F in ally, to top it off, it offers Truck Hydra-Matic
Drive*?the supreme automatic shift thut saves
you, saves your cash, saves your time.
(Note to those who want the look of luxury in a
truck: there's a DE LUXE model at extra cost,
with chrome grille and trim, two-tone paint, curwd
rear comer wtndows? the works!)
Come in and drive this great CMC. It will do
all the selling?by itself.
