Presently, several sample houses went up and Levitt advertised that, beginning December eighth, he would take orders for thousands like them as yet unbuilt…. By mid-1954 at prices ranging from $8990 to $16,500, some 9000 houses had been built, sold and occupied. Barring unpredictable delays, the 16,000th will be finished by the end of 1955, and what, four years before, had been 5500 acres of farmland, scrub woods and swamp will be a city of 70,000

After received filling orders through the website Digg.com, Gary contacted Daily Candy, an email newsletter and insider guide, and persuaded them to make Slanket the featured product.
