Abstract:

Many soldiers returning from World War II needed jobs and housing. For many, the jobs they had left were guaranteed, a company practice during the war years. Housing, though, could be a challenge. The author describes how Charles A. Cannon, owner of Cannon Mills in Kannapolis, used prefabricated housing to fill the need.
