Re: #7 and 10

Love this Levitt Home ad! My aunt and uncle bought a brand new 3 bed 2 bath track home in a sub division named “Whitecliff” in 1956 for $11,500.00 and their payment was $80.00 a mo.

Now compare that to the Stiffel pole lamp in 1957 that was “just” $39.95! Mien Gott en Himmell, that’s 1/2 of a mortgage payment for the average Joe and Jane American in 1957! Granted this lamp was on the cutting edge for ‘57, but thats a lotta dough, ray, me when the minimum wage was $1.00 and hour. Effectively, a whole 40 hrs of work to pay for this fancy pole lamp.

Re: #8

My Mom’s parents bought a New Moon mobile home in ‘64 with a pop out like the one in this ad. It was yellow and white. They bought it in Hayward, Calif. and had it set up in a park there. Then in ‘70 grandma had a severe heart attack and Mom and her 3 sisters thought it would be better if Grandma and Grandpa didn’t live so far away from the rest of the family, so the New Moon was moved up to a mobile home park in Petaluma, Calif.

Grandma passed away in ‘73 and Grandpa passed in ‘76. Mom and her sisters sold the New Moon to a single woman. Two years ago I drove through that mobile home park, and I’ll be damned if that New Moon wasn’t still there in the same space and still looked just like it did when it was moved to that space in ‘70! A testament to the quality of products built in America almost 60 years ago!

New Moon was the manufacturer of the home in the 1954 movie "The Long, Long Trailer", starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. I think they were one of the better brands of mobile homes. There is a MH park I pass by often that has several older (50's - early 60's) homes. My parents owned a mobile home during the time my dad was in the army during the Korean War, but don't recall the brand. They had it in Elizabethtown, KY and Leesville, LA.
