22 July 1956
A Google search shows the house featured in the ad below is still there, looking great from what I could see in Google street images! Back in 1956 it was (presumably) a model home for Notch Construction Company and priced at only $18,000 if you had the land to build it on. Note Octo’s Furniture Mart supplied some of the interior for the model.
