There was never the least attention paid to what was cut up for sausage; there would come all the way back from Europe old sausage that had been rejected, and that was moldy and white—it would be dosed with borax and glycerine, and dumped into the hoppers, and made over again for home consumption.

The goal of bill levitt was to provide inexpensive homes to whom?

mote1985 [20]

Bill Levitt tried to create inexpensive homes for American families, especially those individuals who were involved in World War II. Upon returning home from war, many men came back to start families with the wives they left behind. Since home construction was very limited during the Great Depression and World War II, there was a need for the development of a significant amount of homes.

These homes, developed by Levitt, helped spark the development of suburbs in the 1950's. These communities were aimed at luring young families into areas where the homes could accommodate their growing families.
