3 ousIy." said Thomas " 1Iayfield, sec
rotary OF the Mayfield Building and
Improvement company. although ours
may be a firm which is hardly fair
TO judge by, as we get our materials
in quantity. and obtained contracts
for our building material a while
. ago, which give them 10 US practic-
ally at the same price as they were
obtained a year ago Even at that, 7
do not think that the price Of building
has risen as rapidly or as high as
the comparative price of food and
other stuffs. People feel that the in
crease in cost is about IS percent As
to ourselves. I can confidently assert
that the rise is not so much fin lum-
Der as il is in steel. plumbing, cleo
trical wiring and other metals The
/ increase In cost on an average bum
galOw 10 US would not be above $40
Cash Available For Building.
] I'VE take work today at practically
+ the same price we took IL at a year
ago. and we take Il on the same basis
of a small cash price and easy pay
ments- The idea that a cash payment
has 20 be made is erroneous and it is
a fallacy 10 believe that the money
for building purposes can not be OBJ
tanned. We can get all the money Tor
building we desire. Our business has
been better in the months since jan
uary, despite the three quiet months
last summer than IL has ever been
in such a period OF time since this
company went into business and we
expect an even better winters work"
