the demand. In every case in which the asking
price for projected one or two family houses is
reasonable the houses sold from the plans, or,
in other words. find a market before ground is
broken for tho structures.

land are working with the builders to meet this
demand. They not trying 10 sell their land TO
builders. but getting builders erect one-famIly

houses sold from the plans the operator gets his
money for the land, and the builder what is due
him for the houses In fact. popular has this
scheme OF cooperation become that few builders
