  • Hrizonhhighways February • 1951
    HRIZONHHIGHWAYS FEBRUARY • 1951 . THIRTY-FIVE CENTS , l /jJI I\fj Spring has a good press. The poets make much ado about birds, bees, flowers and the sprightliness of the season. They neglect such mundane subjects as spring house cleaning and overlook the melancholy fact that armies with evil intentions march when the snow melts. We hope our only concern is with flowers, bees and birds and things like that. As for spring house cleaning, just open the doors and let the house air out. Why joust with vacuum cleaners and mops when spring beckons? Spring does a good job of beckoning in the desert land. It is our pleasure to show you some panoramas of the desert and desert plateau country when nature's fashion calls for spring dress. We wish we could promise the most colorful spring ever but the effiorescence of spring depends on the rainfall. We have had a darned dry "dry spell" hereabouts, broken only by a good rain in late January. If the rains keep on, then we can predict a real pretty March, April and May, but who the heck is going to be silly enough to try to tell whether it'll rain. Anyway, we'll promise you grand weather. An Arizona spring can't be beat. The weather had better be perfect! Sometime this month a group of wonderfully agile and extremely well paid young men who answer to the roll call of the Cleveland Indians, and another group of even more agile and even better paid young men who form the New York Yankees baseball team arrive in Tucson and Phoenix for spring training, the latter to get ready to defend the World's Championship, the former to try to bring it to Cleveland.

  • Del Webb Background Information and Fact Sheet
    CONTACT: Caryn Klebba Pulte Homes 248-433-4840 [email protected] Del Webb Background Information and Fact Sheet • Del Webb is the leading brand of communities for active adults, those persons age 55 and better, in America. It is a brand of Pulte Homes, Inc., (NYSE: PHM) and there are currently 59 Del Webb communities open for sale in 20 states. • The Del Webb concept of active adult living traces its roots back to Delbert Eugene Webb, who began his career as a building contractor in 1928. Webb was the eventual developer of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Madison Square Garden and Las Vegas’ Flamingo Hotel, among others. • Mixing passion and business, the charismatic Webb was also a co-owner of the New York Yankees from 1945 until 1965. The Yankees won the World Series 10 times during his 20-year tenure. • With experience gained while building large-scale military housing projects during World War II, Webb struck upon an idea in the late 1950s to build large-scale communities for retirees. Up to that time, “retirement living” in America was only for the rich. The average working man or woman usually just stayed put in their own home once they retired. • The first Del Webb active adult lifestyle community, Sun City, was opened in the Phoenix area on January 1, 1960. The community was the first of its kind – a place catering to active adults aged 55 and better who were attracted by Webb’s concept of affordable and active retirement living. The first Sun City spawned several more in Arizona, as well as communities in California, Nevada, Texas, Florida and South Carolina.
