If you think that one furnace is just as good as any other you are mistaken. You may get a cheap one

that may give you good service for a tew years, but when you have to tear it down to re-cement the joints, or replace a broken casting you have invested the price of a good furnace and still have the cheap one, often repeating the above dose every year or two. Get a FRONT RANK STEEL FURNACE and eliminate all that trouble, they last longer with less expense. For sale by

"Production Depends on Construction1 U. S. Dept. of Labor, W. B. Wilson, Secretary.

There are a few progressive communities which are not waiting for conditions to pick up. Instead, they are so imbued with the spirit of get-aheadiveness that they are making every effort to stimulate local building now. And they are succeeding. Richmond can do the same. Live movements need only a leader to overcome the natural inertia that binds the populace. Given such a leader, one who will bend every effort to stimulate activity, and business will boom beyond the wildest expectations.

There are few localities which are not behind in their building program, and our city is perhaps as far behind as the majority. The work is there. It is waiting for you to develop it by convincing people that it is advisable to build now. Connersville, Huntington, Ft. Wayne, and South Bend, and many other Indiana and Ohio cities and towns have announced building programs which involve the erection of hundreds of homes. We can do this in Richmond.

A PLEASANT HOME The exterior of this house is of unusual but very pleasing appearance. The covered porch is quite comfortable. The living room is the feature of the house with its wide, open stairs and large fireplace. A broad archway is between living and dining rooms, The latter being a bright pleasant room with bay. Pantry connects with both dining room and kitchen, an dalso has door leading to hall. Three bedrooms, a convenient sewing room and bath on second floor. Clyde Smith Adams, Architect. Building Activity in U. S.

Beyond question, the building situation is improving. There is still considerable pessimism, but in the main building departments of various cities throughout the country look expectantly forward to constantly improving conditions. Country and suburban towns as a whole will probabfy feel the stimulus sooner and to a greater extent than will the big cities. This is due to the fact that the housing shortage is acute in all sections of the country, perhaps the greatest shortage being residences. Naturally building will resume first in the direction where exists the greatest shortage, and that is dwellings. The country as a whole shows a loss of 14 per cent, 169 cities reporting; during January, 1919, permits issued show the total estimated construction to be $24,323,026, as com

pared with the January, 1918, total of $28,310,111. Out of the 169 cities reporting 93 show gains as against 76 showing losses. Cities in the eastern section of the country show a loss of 19 per cent for January, 1919, compared with the same period last year ; 37 out of 62 cities report gains. Cities in the Middle States report a loss of 14 per cent, 25 out of 48 cities showing gains ; western cities report 16 per cent loss, 10 out of 20 cities showing gains ; and southern cities report a loss of only 3 per cent, 21 out of 39 cities showing gains. This is an improvement over the past few months, and conditions indicate increasing activity. Strikes and other causes which hinder building will very shortly be settled, and the country can look forward toxthe greatest building revival in its history.
