THE COST OF BUILDING

Some people hesitate to build at the present time
on account of the high prices occasoned by the
war. This is faulty conclusion to come to mas
much as there is little chance of lower prices for
a long time to come, and many things will I'M
doubtedly be higher. And at the present there are
many articles that can be bought much cheaper
than they will be year from now.
