PLUMBING FIRM GROWS RAPIDLY Small Start Ends in Development of Large Business. The way a business of large size may develop from small and insignificant beginnings is forcefully illustrated In the growth of August Buschmann & Sons, wholesale dealers in heating and plumbing supplies, according to an official of the company. “From small inquiries and sales covering material used in small neighborhood plumbing shops,” he said, "Mr. Buschmann saw in what a haphazard manner many plumbers figured their work and he frequently was called upon A. IV. BUSCIUIANN, PRESIDENT. to assist them In making their estimates. In that manner he became familiar with the plumbing business and his small clientele pf customers in this line increased rapidly and insisted, that he Increase his stock of supplies. "Realizing the possibilities of profit from two sources Mr. Buschmann decided to go into the plumbing business himself as well as increase his stock of merchandise and supplies. In a short time he built up a large contracting bu-incss anil hb wholesale business showed surprising increase in volume. -Five year ago the business reached a stage uhere it was necessary either to sell every one, as had been the practice, or to a' ter to plumbing contractors exclusively and stop retail sales. It was at this time the wholesale business was organized. The personnel of the organization was Increased and from that date the growth has been approximately at the rate of SIOO,OOO a year in sales, until last >ear, generally a decidedly unfavorable one from a sales and business standpoint, the company and and more than $.">00,000 worth of business. "Our location has been peculiarly adapted to the growth of the business. Being out of the beaten tracks of business and more than a mile north of Washington ft reef It puts us In closer touch with plumbers of the north part of tie city, and It Is this section In which the greatest amount of building Is being done. Our figures show that at the present tin e the bull; of construction activity Is north of Washington and east of Meridian streets. "It always has been the policy of the company to give every possible assistance to small dealers a.ud to nsalsi them In building up their businesses. Os course this helps us lu ths long run. "Our company has become a very progressive one and has established a number of Innovations, on>* of the principal of which is the plan by which individuals may pay for their plumbing In stallments. I believe our house was the first wholesale concern in the country to put into effect a plan of this kind, and it has been extensively copied since that time. “The plan is known as the Buschmann

Persons having a reputation for meeting their obligations have no trouble In buying UDder this plan and It has met with a favorable reception by the public that has proved the soundness of the policy." Officers of the company are: A. W. Buschmann, president; O. L. Buschmann, vice president and treasurer; L. H. Patterson, secretary. BUILDING RECORD WILL BE BROKEN Great Variety of Construction Under Way, Dealer Says. Favorable wenther, conditions, the house shortage resulting from war time conditions and growing demand for buildings of all kinds, will have the effect of making 19112 a record breaker as far aB building operations is concerned. Is the opinion expressed by Arthur E. Bradshaw, president of the Indianapolis Mortar & Fuel Company of this city. "Everything points to the present year being the greatest construction year in the history of Indianapolis,” Mr. Bradshaw said. "Never before have I known construction work to begin as early and get under way as rapidly as has been the case this season. In fact building operations never ceased throughtout the winter, people taking advantage of the mild winter weather to go ahead with work that usually Is brought to a stop during the colder months of the year. "Abnormal conditions resulting from the war brought building operations to a low ebb for a long period. Material prices were at ft high level, labor was scarce ' while the men were in the Army, and In dustry as a whole was crowded beyond i its capacity. This resulted in a big ; slump in building activity. Then came I the rush of population to the cities following the close of the war and the great- ! eat house famine in history ensued. I "This year not only are many homes, I an Innumerable number It seems, under i way, but business firms and lndustiial ; plants are re-entering the building gam j ! with a gusto that Is a big surprise to ' everyone It Is astonishing to go about i Indianapolis and see the amount of construction of this character which is unI der way. "Home builders are coming to realize i more snd more every day the necessity ,of providing permanent, high quality i buildings rather than cheaper and flimsier structures which were rather popular a few years ago. The fact that it is not economical to build buildings of this sort is generally recognized now In answer to the demand for better class buildings our own company is paying particular attention to brick products. “Prices are now as low as they may reasonably be expected to go and I feed sure that any changes in cost will he up ward and not downward in tendency. I don't see how the big demand can con tinue at its present rate and not affect the market. Humors to the effect that there wil be an advance in tha cost of cement are due to the great amount of highway construction planned or contemplated throughout the country. Already more business Is on the books of the cement manufacturers than Is usually tho case three months later in the year. "Last year was a record breaker in the cement business and the outlook for 1922 Is even more promising During the war cement did not advance In price as rapidly as other commodities, due probably to an agreement between the Government and the companies. It looks to me that under present conditions there will be ; n upward turn in the market and the wise home builder will get construction under way at the earliest poaalble minute." JOHN FOUND A HOME. NEW YORK. May I.—John Barton, (rho tried the scheme of knocking at. (very door in his neighborhood when he lost his way at 2 a. m., finally found a lodging place, but it wasn't his home.

"Last year was the greatest building year In the history of our plant," Mr. l Hill said. "This was astonishing and r entirely unexpected lu view of business 1 depression, and so far this year we hare I exceeded the figures set Inst year for I the same period. Until a week or two 1 ago the great bulk of our orders was for j lumber for new homes, but recently we j have noted with great satisfaction that material Is being purchased for a wide ; variety of different types of construction. 'Ground 1h being broken for a number of apartment houses and there Is a marked j Increase In building of an industrial type. | "We have had many inquiries from customers and prospective home builders as to the probability of a further decline In prices. it is our best Judgment based ; on careful analysis of available data artd 'long experience in the lumber business that there is practically no chance for further price declines, while there is every probability that before the year Is out there will bo advances over present quotations. Prices for lomt time have been stable an Uthls in itself la a strong Indication that low level has been reached, i Any price changes from now on are Tery likely to be advances.

means that the building business cannot help but boom. Building operations require material. At present mills can meet the demands put upon them, but this condition Is only temporary and as the demand increases the market will tighten and prices will rise accordingly. In fact It Is a well-known fact that the demand for lumber is greater than the supply. "One feature of our business which has made us a world of friends Is that when they build a home or a building tney are not required to deal with dozens of firms, but can buy from us alone. Starting with the cement and ending wilu the hardware and paint we can supply everything necessary to go Into a building.
