H0U8t0| I look for another big biildijtg boom nery soon after the loosening' up of bank credits and frozen assets, makes money available for hoQsisff purposes. I think we aw? goin# to see some innovations in home construction methods in the next few years, which will tqftkc it possible for a larger percentage of. people ta? be come home owners. I know of severstl groups of home planners who think they are going to be able to build houses to sell for $5,000 which will bo better in every way than houses which now sell for from $10,000 to $15,000. That is only one of the big changes that are coming, and coming soon.

This is the highest that haa ever heei: in our history, with the ex ception of the year 1920, when it reached .*51 j?cr head. i The idea that the larger the volume of money in circulation the more pros perous wo are is not borne odfc-by a ? study of these money figures When [business is active and public porifid 'eneejin the banks is not ihakeii.j^oi { p|e ,5ise comparatively little nlonly and Federal Reserve uotes-andj , TSpasury notes are retifW cireu-j won. 6oid *? j j The head of a biglfcw York bank: .told rac this story the other ui?ht: !
