Time To Build Your Homes.
If figures talk at all, they are
now shouting to those who con
template building homes-to get
busy and let their contracts?
Moreover, they tell the same
story in every state in the union.
An examination of the figures
just completed by the United
States Department of Labor dis
closes that the cost of building
is now 25 per cent, below 1920,
and every indication is that from
this time on any change in more
likely to be upward than down
ward. "
Great volumes of money have
been released for building pur-
noses, as forecast some months
ago in this newspaper. The re
sult is building activity is found
in all sections of the United
States. '
The price of materials has
taken a considerable tumble, and
while wages remain high, never
theless, the readjustment has
been downward rather than up
ward. Experts agree that prices,
both for material and labor,
never will reach the pre-war
standard, and with the ; increas
ing activity, labor certainly will
hold its own and materal will go
up in price by reason of greatly
increased demand. ,;"
It is a mistake to imagine that
the building being done will take
care of the' shortge of , homes
that came to us as a result of
building stagnation during the
war. It will take several years
of steady work to overcome the
shortage and keep pace with the
Tryon, N. C,
normal increase in population. .
