The Chamber Of Commerce IS ne
gotiating With parties 20 establish
furniture factory here. But the first
question which bobbed up was. can
we get houses for our families and FOR
our employees and their families to
live in after we locate this enterprise? !?
There you are again. Now what can
the Sumter Chamber of Commerce do
when il is handicapped in such style.
Not sufficient stores not sufficient Of
1ices, not sufficient houses to accom-
modate empIoyns or proprietors Of
new enterprises that want to locate
here
Already established enterprises
wish 30 expand and in order to en-
large must have more help. But they
are deferred from enlals sing just be-
cause there are insufficient houses in
Sumter.
Prices of houses and rooms in
Sumter have advanced great deal.
Boarding house prices have jumped
up pretty high.
The scarcity OF houses scarcity Of
living rooms scarcity Of boarding
places have given owners and manag-
ers Of these necessities opportunity to
advance prices wonderfully.
More houses mean regulating the
prices of rents by the universal law
OF supply and demand mean more
rooms 10 rent ut reasonable prices
more houses for boarding houses
more connection all around, more
houses to do housekeeping in, etc.
OF course there are arguments
against building houses fer rent with
high priced and mighty poor labor
high priced building material, high
priced pinrlbins. ana high priced ev-
erything else about building opera
tions. But where will Sumter get off
at in the long run if we not only lose
citizens. but also fail to get new en-
terprises because Of the insufficiency
of business houses and residences?
