NOW GOOD TIME TO BUILD
r* Many Reasons Why Those Who Are Thinking of Construction Should Get It Started. Building done these days is quite certain to be good building; better than the average quality ip times when real estate improvements are more actively carried on. This is a point worth considering as an offset, in part, to high prices for material and high wages in the building trades. Contractors are sure to take unusual pains to please those who give them business. They are not obliged, as they have been, as times, to put up with almost any labor, however incompetent, that can be found, even amorit tramps and idlers. There have' been periods, such as the last year of the war, when the standards were so lowered that almost anyone who could and wouldwork at all was eagerly hired for service which needed painstaking intelligence. All the way through the various trades that contribute to the building of a dwelling or a business block there Is a strong desire to make the work done so satisfactory that it will lead to more employment. All who have anything to do with real estate improvements are anxious to promote a revival of construction, on the largest possible scale. These facts are Important. They are worthy of consideration by air who are dealing with building problems.—Exchange.
