Homes for Waukesha Inc Liquidates After Building 14 Homes
Homes for Waukesha Inc dissolves after completing 14 single family homes in the city since 1946. Liquidation returns about half of initial investment to stockholders. The project aimed to relieve the local housing shortage with veterans and employees receiving homes and seller financing through FHA or GI loans. Directors say the venture fulfilled its goal of easing the housing bottleneck and reflected local industry interest in community improvements. Stocks held by Allay Products Co. and other local firms, plus individual bidders, participated in the company formation.
