Nils lll liidd DON'T STOP BUILDING STRAUS & CO. ADVISE New York Firm Sets Pace to Country By Proceeding with Construction of New Office Building The announcement made in New York recently, that work has started on the monumental new building to be erected by S. W. Straus & Co., at Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street, is of much importance to the hytiiing industry. S. W. Straus & Co, reason of their large underwriting " first mortgage serials bond issues on new industrial plants, apartment houses, office buildings and other large structures in the principal American cities, are very closely in touch with building conditions and "the general outlook in the industry. It may be taken as encouragingly significant, therefore, that they are going ahead with the new $4,000,000 home for their New York organiza- tion at the present time rather than delay until a later date. There has been much hesitation on the part of many interests regard- ing new building projects, but it is quite evident that in the opinion of S. W. Strauss & Co., nothing is to be gained by putting off building plans. With regard to this point, S. W Straus & Co. have made plain their attitude in the following statement: Demand Growing "The demand for new buildings both for residential and business pur- poses continues to grow. Rents are continually advancing and it is not likely that they will become stabiliz- ed soon. This is particularly true in New York City, where the housing shortage is becoming more acute. Conditions in the labor market, trans- portation delays and shortage of building materials have combined to keep down new construction work. The demand, however, for space con- tines to be 'augmented with the ex- STLLLLLLLLSLLLTLLLL LL LLS LSS SSSI L SSL S SS SILLS LSS SSS SLL SS SSSA SSAA AS SSAA SSSA SS SAS SASS A FA AAS SAIS AISA IAAI A AAAS SITS IW iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiies pansion of business, the increase in population and the generally mani- fested desire of the public for better standards of living. "The widespread shortage of build- ings in this country is a hindrance to general business development and a disturbing factor in our social and economic life. Every possible effort should be made, therefore, to relieve the very acute situation that exists. The only way this can be accomplish- | ed and conditions restored to normal is through additional buildings. Need Is Urgent "Nothing in our national life today is more urgent than the need for more buildings throughout the coun- ry. "While the demand for homes is more acute than for structures of other types, there is requirement for buildings of every description, and each new project that becomes an active operation helps the general situation. It must be borne in mind that the longer new work is delayed the more serious the housing situa- NG SLLSSSSS LSS SSSLL ISLS SS SLL SSIL SS LSS SSL SILLS SLS SSIS SLL SALT AR.

We have fallen so far behind normal requirements that a prolonged period of intensive build- ing must necessarily ensue before the various aspects of the housing situa- tion become entirely stabilized." The plans for the new Straus build- ing call for a 12-story structure of which S. W. Straus & Co. will occupy three banking floors; in addition to which they will utilize the entire top floor as a library, rest and recreation rooms and for various other features connected with their welfare work.

The building will be of white stone and the prevailing note of the ex- terior design will be suggestive of massive stability rather than ornate decorativeness. In New York City the new building project is regarded with special interest, as it marks the most notable addition that has yet been made to the new and fast grow- ing uptown financial district. M.
