BUILD NOW Last spring we advised people to build and re- pair, predicting a raise in the price of lumber. Lumber has gone up, is going up and will go still higher. Where the end will be no one knows for a certainty. Sufficient to say that if prices do drop, they will never reach their former level. If ,you have been planning a home, barn, gar- age, or the repairing of one, or in fact any kind of building requiring lumber, DO IT NOW! Labor costs are mounting, material is going up, build now while you can. OUR ADVICE IS YOURS FOR THE ASKING After two years of stagnation, due to the war, construction of new buildings is now approaching normal. Everywhere the demand is far lumber, and the demand is fast exceeding the supply. Those who are familiar with the building trades, nationally, say more new work is contemplated than there will be lumber to finish. This will have a tendency to shoot prices higher. Lt us help your plans with suggestions. We have complete plans of houses, large and small. and our entire building service is yours for the asking.
