Very cool!! Love it.
bratjdd,
Thanks, I think it's cool too.
collector4: I am not sure how long the Aladdin Houses were in business-I was born in 1934 and it seems to me I went with my Dad to the Aladdin factor in Bay City-the name Mr.Wentworth seems to ring a bell.My Dad built a house in 1933 and now am wondering if it was one of these.Saginaw and Bay City Michigan had many sawmills on the Saginaw River-from 1850 to 1900 many billions square foot of lumber was shipped by boat and later by train all over the USA.Thanks for posting the catalog.
I'll have "The Club House" please.
Love old catalogues, & advertising.

Thanks for the postings. If there is a specific house you want me to post please let me know. There are about 90 different style homes, bungalows and barns to choose from. If you need a list of the different styles I will forward it to you.
I was just placing an order for "The Club House", top left of pic three, or I was ordering dinner;-)
