First edition of this exceedingly rare salesman sample photo album for post-World War II G.I. Bill homes featuring a time lapse photo series and image of the prefabricated small home invented designed & marketed Willisway Systems in Chicago IL. Prefabricated homes became a necessity in post-World War II America to provide a faster and more cost effective way to build housing for the rapidly expanding households of Mid-Century America and Home-Ola was developed by two brothers who owned and operated C.W. Plywood in Chicago IL. These were of light construction aimed at the $ 3000 market and attractive to newly created G.I. families who could purchase with not money down. The time lapse photo series begins at 9:00 AM with the prepared foundation and steel framework which had begun to be constructed at 8:00 AM. These are followed by photos subsequent photos at increments with the insulated floor panels laid by 9:20; three-quarters of the walls laid by 10:10 stairway installed by 11:20; truss installation began at 1:10 and by 3:10 roofing and windows were in place. The final three photos show the finished Home-Ola models which were about 700 square feet featuring a 12 x 20 foot living room kitchen dinette & bathroom on opposite wall steel stairway and stressed-skin Douglas Fir plywood panels resin-glued and pre-cut in the Tacoma factory. There are few records of how many Home-Ola homes were erected and sold but unfortunately within less than a decade both brothers Jacques 1889-1948 and Robert Jacques 1916-1955 had passed away and the CW Plywood Co. sold to outside investors who continued to produce Home-Ola homes until after 1960. Steel production facilities had been vastly expanded in the North American market during World War II and as the War drew to a close manufacturers and steel mills raced to find solutions to keep production rolling and workers employed including producing steel frames for housing steel kitchen cabinets and more. Home-Ola was amongst an entire class of prefabricated Wood Frame Houses popular in the first couple decades after World War II because of reasonable cost as well as speed of construction.
