Mark Twain and the Manufactured Housing Industry

“The report of my death was an exaggeration.”
~ Mark Twain

So said the great American author and humorist after reading his own obituary on June 2, 1897.

Well, the IBISWorld Report was something like that for the manufactured housing industry. Politics, financial log jams and poor industry image, added in to the low ebb of the economy and housing market, could be pall bearers for this reported – or – occurring demise.

But wait – that is an exaggeration. Passionate commitment is still engaged, as reported and posted here each day in the Daily Industry Business News Blog, The Masthead Blog, the Industry Voices Guest Blog and monthly Feature Articles. Top notch pros are here with information, inspiration and innovation to help in your area of Industry service and dedication. Join with thousands of others to make a difference.

As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” … in the manufactured housing industry.

Here for June is line-up of twenty-two pros who felt it worth their while to devote time to share with you their expertise. Let’s get right to the new articles!
