Let him consider statistics carefully for Lumber is Not High Building is usually a once-in-a-life-time job. They are fortunate who are in position to build during 1917. Th% should strive to over­ come all petty obstacles, cease to hesitate for any except the most prohibitive reason, and begin work immediately on their homes for Lumber is Not High v ' This is true in spite of the fact that the entire country is lost in a sea of high prices. The high cost of living has become so generally familiar that it is usually designated and recognized by its initials, H. C. L. , High prices are taken as a matter of course, and nothing is thought cheap. People have been forced to curtail their wants. They postpone buying even necessities as long as they possible can. All live in hope that something will happen'that will make prices fall to a more "reasonable" level. The commodities that have had abnorma 1 advances will drop sometime, but the old level will probably never be reached. But the uncertainty surrounding this question of prices need be «of little con­ cern to the homebuilder, for there is still one commodity that has not kept pace with all others in rising costs. Lumebr is Not High A study of the markets will show that lumber has not increased in price in anything like proportions that other staples have mounted. I*rice, as has often been said before, is only a relative term indi­ cating the value of one commodity as compared with others. Accord­ ing to that definition, lumber, which has gone up fifteen per cent since 1914, and its product, woodwork which, has increased approxi-1 mately only fifteen per cent to eighteen per cent, are relatively very cheap. Since lumber and woodwork are about one-third of the cost of the average house, it can be seen how they affect the cost of building. Another big cost of building is labor. Labor costs are approxi­ mately another one-third of the average house. As nearly* as can be ascertained, wages in the building industries have increased only about ten per cent on the average and in a great many smaller com­ munities the increase has been less. Thus, the incresed costs of lumber, woodwork £nd labor com­ bined (about two-thirds of the entire building costs) are only ten per cent to twelve per cent higher than in 1914. As compared to the increased costs of other things, obviously homes are the cheapest purchase on the market today, because Lumber is Not High The accompanying chart gives a concrete comparison between the relative costs of different commodities. Notice that labor is the very smallest of them all, lumber is next and woodwork next. All these principal factors in building costs are far below the general average of commodity, prices. As compared to other necessities, such as po­ tatoes, beans, canned goods, etc., these increases look insignificant. Lumber is Not High The Increases in the prices of most commodities have been due, or at least credited, to the war. The war has affected the cost of lumber very little, for it has not greatly changed either its supply or demand. This country has never exported lumber or its products, in anything like the quantities that it uses them itself. Home con­ sumption has been the principal market for those commodities, and that has been fairly constant since 1914. What little increase lumber has made, is due largely to the in­ crease in cos£s of material which are necessary in its production. They are machinery, equipment, food supplies in logging camps, etc., but still Lumber is ^ot High Since woodwork is a by-product of lumber, but also employing other materials, it is natural that it should increase in price. Those other materials are glass, glue, putty, zinc, lead, nails, etc. Glass, for instance, has gone up eighty per cent since 1914. In general the prices of woodwork have not increased to the extent that increases in the o cost of materials and labor warrant. Lumber is Not High -^Little can be said definitely regarding the future. If the European .war continues, with the United States at peace, there will certainly be no decrease in the lumber and woodwork market. If the United States ^nters the war, it is Ifcmewhat hazardous to predict the effect on the cost of lumber and woodwork. It is generally considered v t h a j t t h e f i r s t y e a r o f w a r f o r t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s w o u l d b e a y e a r o f ' preparedness. (Probably we shall never pass that stage). This would mean a" year of increased activities, increased labor employ­ ment, and increased wages, with the consequent general increase in prices. In the event of an early peace in Europe, lumber, according to Babson's Statistics (probably the most reliable published), will be­ come "bullish." That means that the cost of building will go up, be­ cause of the increased demand for building materials for the recon­ struction of Europe's devastated cities and fields. Altho at the present time , Lumber is Not High American will undoubtedly export building materials in larger volume after the war than she has ever done before. The effect in this country of a new demand for these commodities can easily be an­ ticipated. ... Let homebuilders carefully weigh the present situation. They cannot be too strongly urged to take the active step toward realizing now the home of their dreams, for . ' - Lumber is Not High. WILBUR LUMBER CO. * SHARON.
