Child Now.

Firms engaged in the building
trades in Minneapolis, have adopted
a practical and sensible method of
stimulating business. They need en-
ployment for their men and their
money, and the city needs houses
and business structures. But every
body has been holding back because
well, because everybody else was
holding back. The problem faced by
the builders is simply the overcom
ing of their fellow citizens inertia.
So they have all joined in an appeal
to the public of Minneapolis, point
ing out the advantages of building
now" instead of after while.
The firms explain that they can
build today for $4,000 house that
in ordinary times would cost $4,7OO.
They show that reductions for con-
struction work range from 10 to Is
per cent compared with the prices
that prevailed before the business de-
preston came. They are not cutting
under market prices for such work;
they are simply pointing out the great
economy of building now, while mar
ket prices are low.
The situation is much the same in
most other cities. Not for many
years have building materials been
so cheap. 1t is the strategic time
to erect houses and stores and factor
les and public buildings. With the
inevitable wave of prosperity, prices
will rise again and the money won't
go so far.
Meanwhile, by judicious expend-
itures in constructive work, those
who have the money can not only
get more for it but can relieve I'M
employment and hasten the good
times.
