“…As early as 1900 the Hodgson Company began to ship garages and then in 1905 opened a new factory in Dover, Massachusetts, to produce summer cottages and houses. 59 The following year, Gordan-Van Tine was selling house plans along with lumber, and in the same year the Sovereign brothers started Aladdin. 60 In 1908, a contractor and a lumberman teamed up to start Pacific Ready-Cut in Los Angeles; the building materials department at Sears, Roebuck published its first catalogue and the following year Sears offered its first complete bill of materials and plans for a house.…”

Urban historical scholars have neglected smaller urban centers, including their residential environments and the forces that shaped them. For a time, one of these forces was the mail-order kit home. Kit manufacturers sold houses to families throughout the United States and Canada but enjoyed their greatest success in small towns where detached single-family homes were the norm. They worked to insert themselves into local building industries: They challenged lumber dealers and ignored architects but strove to mollify the contractors on whom they and their customers depended. They attracted considerable attention and met with initial success: Emerging rapidly after 1905, they had hit their stride by 1914 and enjoyed a heyday in the 1920s. They were stricken by, and failed to recover from, the Depression in large part because lumber dealers had learned how to compete with them.

“…Therefore, as the first-best country of destination became so difficult to reach (in a legal way), the popularity of other possible destinations increasedmost importantly Europe. [Garzón, 2007;Tedesco, 2008] In the 1990s and the early 2000s, a booming economy in Southwest Europe (Spain, Italy and Portugal) demanded many low-skilled workers, mostly in the shadow economy, and Latin Americans -mostly Ecuadorians and Peruviansheaded towards this region. Visa requirements were consequently tightened for nationals of these countries.…”

“…Parallelly to the economic problems, European politics towards Latin American immigrants also became more restrictive. [Arteta -Oleas, 2008;Tedesco, 2008] The only migration channel that still stands open is that of regional migration, which is facilitated by geography and a sense of solidarity among Latin American Honduras and Nicaragua) is also a good example for joint governmental efforts towards the free movement of people.
