Jnn 2.?Th?* urge I to "own your 'own home** has I been translated into "build your | own homo" according to building material men. To substantiate this they point to tho fact that the last year, even though it had periods of business deprcR.sion, ' sajy some $350.000.000 more spent in residential construction than 1923. In view of the pros pects for a period of general business prosperity in the early months of mxt year they antici pate another period i?f great con struction activity. This will be fostered, they say. by the fact that the trmi with only n thousand dollar* to put into n house can now secure at small cost detailed plans and specifica tion* prepared by competent ar chitect? through vurloue house plan services, and can build a " substantial. permanent home planned for both appearance and convenience, 'New records In the us?> of con crete masonry wore hung up in 1924 and inanufacturora expert to break them aguln in 1925. Moro than six thousand manufactur ers now are engaged in makinrc concrete products which In the next year will have a value of approximately $ I00.000.fnni. cording to the Portland Convnit Association. About 31*2,700 On o standard site concrete block* wore turned out last year, and in the last 12 yearn for the annuel salos of these blocks alone have in creased from $ 12.0fl <).000? to $77,000.000.

In spite of this fact stocks are two million barrels heavier< than nt tli'- s:art of the year. Tills is In preparation for con tinuation ol construction during tho winter months and for a heavy spring demnnd. Prices of cement, according to Morris Kind, president of tho Hercules Cement Corporation, have declined well below tin- I?-v - el of 1920 and aro only slight ly above those of 19IS, before tho groat boom In building developed. The decline from the peak price Of 1920. 2.22, 2.22 l-2o n bar rel. to the average for October 1924, amounted to 37 l-2c a bar rel or 16 per cent. Assertions that neither work manship nor materials used In modern dwelling? compares with thoso of 25 years ago are being emphatically refuted by builders" and material men. "It used to be that very large t timbers wore used in house con Htrnctlon" said John H. McClat ey. a larce builder of Phlladol phla, today "and It required large man power to put sills and beams In place. Then in the 1870's enme the period of the balloon frame " Peoplo were amazed when they saw scantling nailed together to' take the place of the cumber some timbers nnd made dlr?> pre dictions of collapse.
