Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-03-03

The Pine Bluff Building Trades council, which has just recently been chartered by the American Federation of Labor, will from this time on give the public information on the progress of Pine Bluff in the building line. Few people know just how much Pine Bluff is building and repairing through the year. Our papers learn of some new buildings going up, but they can't know of them all. We possibly will overlook some, but we feel that the building trades are Tn better position to give you this infor- nation through your paper than you would likely get any other way.
 The Building Trades council has rented the upstairs over the Arkansas Paint company in Pine street, and IS doing some extensive repairs on same, which when complete will be an up to-date lodge hall. We hope to be in our new hall by Friday, March 9.
 The Carpenters local will have the hall on Monday nights.
 : Bricklayers on Tuesday nights.
 Painters and Decorators on Thurs day nights.
 All nights will be taken up very shortly as soon as trustees can ar range same.
 We hope to give in the next weeks building news the name of each local, the night it meets, officers names and their street addresses.
 The Building Trades is composed of men who believe in the "Buy-at- Home" slogan fer more reasons than one. One of them is:
 We make our money in Pine blu1f. We are depending on the citizens o1 Pine Bluff to give us their work III our line. Pine Bluff is our home. and as we make all we have in Pine Bluh. we believe it just and right to spend our money in Pine Bluff.
 We have good company that handles all kinds of brick, lime and cement-that's the first thing in house building.e
 We have several lumber companies that handle all kinds and grades o1 lumber. and mill work-that's the sec ond thing you need in house building.
 We have three good paint and paper stores that will sell ycu any amount of good paint and wall paper you need, and just as good and as cheap as you can get it anywhere-that's the third thing you need.
 Now a word to the public: You buy the brick. lime, cement, lumber, mlll work. sash and doors, nails and hard ware, paints and paper in Pine Blun' Then you will be spending your money at home. The Pine Bluff Building Trades will furnish good, practical men to lay the brick and do your con- crete work. carpenters to put up your lumber and mill work, paper hangers and painters to do your decorating and plasterers to do your plasterlng. { Then you will have a nice home that will make you feel good, and we Will he paid for our work. We will III turn spend it in Pine Bluff, and this will make it possible for you to get a portion or possibly all thfs money back in time. You wouldn't likely get any of it back if we all sent it out or the city.
