This investigation has shown clearly that when the local organizations
proceed in the right way a _Better Homes_ demonstration may easily
be made a great success. Causes of trouble as well as of success have
been analyzed to bring out the methods that should be avoided. The
Advisory Council, therefore, is in a position to recommend plans that

With Federal and State governments endorsing and encouraging this Plan
of educating the people to _Better Homes in America_, the conduct
of local demonstrations is given tremendous impetus and support. And
with the suggestions and the Plan for conducting such demonstrations
herewith presented, any community may confidently undertake the
production of a _Better Homes_ Exhibition during Demonstration
Week, October 9th to 14th, 1922.

A comparatively few energetic and capable women, with the support of
local civic organizations, can effectively put into practice the ideas
and plans with which they will be supplied by the Bureau of
Information. The expense of a _Better Home_ demonstration need not
be great; in some communities it may be kept as low as $25.00.
Builders, merchants and prominent citizens will combine to supply the
Model _Better Home_, and to furnish it. Civic organizations and
newspapers will cooperate to interest the public.

The most successful demonstrations have been so managed as to impress
upon visitors that they were not selfish enterprises, intended to help
special interests, particular firms or individuals. They have been so
conducted as to benefit every line of business and to help the
community as a whole. Neither the name of the builder or owner of the
