WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MUST START BUILDING TO HIT UNEMPLOYMENT S. W. Straus Says Almost Every Branch of Business Susceptible to Influence of Building Conditions With regard to the building situa- tion, S. W. Strauss of S. W. Strauss & Co. says: J "While general business conditions of the country seem to be improving and the public state of mind is be- coming more stabilized and optimis- tic, the greatest essential need is a restoration of building activities. "Business in general will not be at its best until these activities develop because in this way a very large per- centage of the present unemployment will be absorbed. Almost every branch of business is susceptible to the influence of building conditions, and active operations in that industry would have a most exhilarating ef- fect. No Sharp Cost-Reduction "Uncertainty as to price conditions still exerts a restriction effect, al- though the preponderance of basic conditions are against cheaper build- ing cost tendencies. "Costs may be marked down here and there as the result of some local or unusual condition, but the general trend is towards sustained prices. "There are some slight recessions at this time due in activity in the in- dustry, depressed times and unem- ployment, but when extensive build- ing starts up again, prices are likely to strengthen. "Hence, it seems within the bounds of good judgment that nothing tan- gible is to be gained by delaying building projects at this time. Supply and Demand Basis "Some efforts have been made to stimulate new building operations by artificial means, but these have had little or no appreciable effect up to this time. The law of supply and de- mand is the basis of all economic de- velopment, and, while it may cease to function for a brief period, it is always the deciding factor in the final analysis. "With a nation so seriously under- built as is now the case with the United States, a movement which will restore normal conditions cannot be long deferred." WORK RESUMED _ The Briggs Manufacturing company of Detroit 1s asking its former em- ployes to return. It has reopened its plant. The Kelsey Wheel company is running light with 200 or 300 men. Other plants making Ford accessor- ies are opening. ERNEST E.

Dempster Street Station, Evanston. Oriental rugs have, in the last quarter of a century, become one of the most impor- tant of home furnishings, and justly, for this happy combination of hardwood floors and As floor coverings it is obviously the mission of rugs to clothe the nakedness of bare floors, to protect their polished surfaces and deaden the sound of footfalls upon them, to lend color and to give an air of comfort and beauty to the E home. Any rug will for a time answer the purely utilitarian purposes for which it is = needed, so that appearances, quality and durability of the Oriental rugs have much in fabric has much to recommend it.
