OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR RECORD YEAR
More Workingmen Building Homes
Than Ever Before as One Result OF
City's Industrial Expansion.

From present indications, the yeas
1910 will be the greatest building year
i IN the history OF Detroit. In all sec
ti0ns OF the city unusual activity IN
the building line is noted, and lumber
yards are pressed almost - the unit
&c keep pace with orders.
The large number OF lew factories
being butt has given rise TO an un-
usual demand for houses, and the pro-
portion OF workingmea who are build
ing their own homes is larger than
ever before.
Especially is this true OF automobile
workers. They are making good
money and the liberal terms offered

The scarcity OF carpenters that ex-
listed earlier in the season has been
relieved somewhat. Many men have
come In from outside, attracted BY the
liner advertisements, while quite a
number are leaving factory jobs to
work in the open during the summer
months. These latter are men, for
the most part. employed in lines OF
Industry now approaching the slack
season. on one building job on which
only eight men were at work three
weeks ago, there are now 60, but there
is still room for more.
Work is now we'll under way on
the big additions to the Timken-De-
troit Axle Co. and on the mammoth
new plant OF the San Telmo Cigar Co.,
out Michigan-ave. Out in the Fair
view district the modern plants Of
the Fairview Foundry Co and the
Armstrong Wooden Co are fast near
ing completion. The Metal Products
Co. has just moved into is new con-
crete building. and work has started
on the Anderson Forge & Machine
Co.'S new plant. which Is 10 be the
largest drop forging establishment in
the country
In the northeast and northwest sec
tons and along the line of the Detroit
Terminal railway the same activity
is seen. The average Detroit citizen
has but a slight conception of the
tremendous strides the city is making
in an Industrial way, and the extern
sion of the street car lines, when the
street car question is finally settled,
will tend TO give further impetus -
the boom.

some instances, and it is very good

There is no immediate danger OF a
shortage. however Plantation rubber
Is going to have marked effect on
the price of the native product. over
200 600 acres of rubber was planted
in Ceylon last year
up to last year, European coun-
tries took about SO per cent OF the
rubber output. but in 1909 the United
States put one over on the European
manufacturers Last year We con-
sumed about so per cent OF the sup
ply. The result is that Europe now
finds itself short on rubber. Fine
Para rubber is quoted in the London
market today at 1921 per pound. so
you can readily see why the price or
