Local Man On State
Fair Radio Saturday
A life-size Model Farm Home for
a family of five or six persons that
can be duplicated in rural sections
of the state for $2,500 to $3,000 will
be on display at the Ohio State Fair
opening Saturday at Columbus, ac
cording to Forrest Steinman, of the
Steinman Brothers Lumber company,
one of the sponsors.
Steinman, as president of the Ohio
Retail Lumber dealers association
will be heard in a radio broadcast
Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock over
Columbus Station WBNS at which
time the model farm home will be
presented by the Ohio Homes Found
ation to the State Fair board. Gov
ernor Bricker and Louis Bromfield,
authority on home ownership will
also be heard on the same program.
The exhibit, which includes an all
purpose Model Barn which can be
duplicated for $2,000 or less, is de
signed to emphasize today’s home
uilding opportunities and latest ad
vances in construction methods. It
is being sponsored by Ohio Homes
Foundation, with which the Steinman
Bros, company is affiliated.
The Model Home was designed by
Prof. R. C. Miller, agricultural en
gineer at Ohio State University.
Fair visitors will see it completely
furnished by members of the Home
Economics Department of Ohio State
University.
The all-purpose barn, also designed
by Prof. Miller, is practicable, and
adaptable with slight changes to vir
tually every type of farm.
Three chief motives determined the
character of the exhibit. First, the
plan of both house and barn was
keyed to rural living standards. The
arrangement is said to be extremely
practical. Second, the latest improve
ments in construction procedure were
incorporated in the interest of econ
omy and strength of the two struc
tures. Third, the cost had to be
within the range of most farm facili
ties.
The Model Home and Barn will be
open to fair visitors free of charge
from 10:00 A. M. until 10:00 P. M.
each day of the fair.
Full details about floor plan, ma
terial bill and other details of either
Model Home or Model Bam may be
otained from the Steinman Bros.
Lumber company.
