Ad 1 (10/12/1947)
In the earlier years, even up through the first few years of Levittown, N.J., Levitt and Sons brochures were in the form of a booklet with a brief description of the community followed by a lists of questions and answers. Renderings of the homes available were pictured throughout. Floor plans were generally not included in the booklet, instead encouraging and relying on buyers to visit, inspect, and experience the furnished Exhibit Home rather than rely on a floor plan. Levitt and Sons relied on the house to sell itself.
