The opinion is expressed generally that now is the time to build. The country is gradually coming into an era of increased activity that surely spells prosperity. Construction work already has received an impetus through wage and material deflation and in many parts of the city work is progressing rapidly in spite of weather conditions. With a vast shortage of homes the country over, a building boom such as has never been seen before is expected within a short time, and it is agreed by those of sound business judgment that just preceding this boom period is the proper time to build. Good efficient labor and choice materails are now available at the right prices. We are ready to deliver the goods.
