THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PREDICTS EVEN * BUILDING RISE

=|Home Show Manager Says

Steady Increase for '39 Better Than Boom.

A slow, constant rise in the vole ume of building during 1039 over last year was predicted today by J. Frank Cantwell, Home Show managing director, “That's a much better sign than having a boom,” he said. “You know where there's a boom there's usually some wreckage afterwards. We want no roller-coaster effects on the building graph.” “A long, steady climb would be much better for the home buyers and owners, much better for the building trades and much better for the country as a whole,” Additional advantages of a slow increase is that a slow climb “helps control the price of building materials, benefiting both the buyer and the builder,” he said. Mr. Cantwell praised the Federal Housing Administration's program for helping the home-consciousness of the people by low-cost housing projects.

SHOW IS LABORATORY FOR HOME PROBLEMS

One of the principal purposes of a Home Show, according to J. Frank Cantwell, managing director of the local exhibition, is that it serves as a laboratory for housing problems. “Every year more people come to the Show with more problems,” he said. “There'll never really be a perfect house because men in this business like those in other businesses are men of vision, ambition, eager to explore new territory.” The Home Show also serves as encouragement to people who want to live in better homes, he said, thereby aiding recovery.
