Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keith's Magazine on Home Building, 1919 One practical betterment plan in the scheme of modern home building has been given a practical test by a man with vision in regard to home building, and the same thing can be done elsewhere by other men who are eager to bring about better homes and at the same time add revenues from waste places in the cities. There are today a number of these dumps, waste sections, - forgotten opportunities that are to be found in and about practically every city and town. They are eyesores to the community. They are not bringing any revenue and they are depreciating the surrounding property. In fact, they are dead losses to the community and should be wiped out because of their unsightly character. How many cities today possess such spots that can be turned into beautiful home sections with a little expenditure, coupled with some art, and the builder's genius? What cannot be done for such unsightly localities? In order that this dream may become a realized fact there is, of course, something more than a mere hope or a plan demanded.
