Day Organization
During the year of 1919 we passed
through one of the most unusual
periods of Industrial real estate and
many have wondered what would hap
pen TO the enqrmous plants that we're
erected and operated for war work
and what the general conditions would
be during the period of transition
which We are now passing through
Some predicted there would be an
enormous surplus of factory property
which could not be absorbed before
passing Though period of depression.
Others thought the war plants would
be turned Immediately by their owners
into plants producing products needed
during peace times.
Soon after the armistice was signed
manufacturers came into the market
for large manufacturing space that
could be used Immediately, thinking it
the opportune time to get out OF them
obsolete plants in which they had man
ufactured for many years and into &
modern up to date factory property.
rms naturally started great activity
IN All Kinds Of factory property. and
during tie first part of the wear the
erea5 amount of activity led every one
to believe that this year would see
some OF the largest sales of factory
property consummated.
Plant Builders Farsightcd Men
This country owes great deal to
the iarsighted manufacturer who was
wise enough when erecting plants for
war work TO so construct and Law them
out that they could be used to advan-
tagc during normal times
The changed position of the United
states from an enormous importer to
a large exporter started many new
lines of industry. principally among
the chemical manufacturers, shipbuild-
erS hne GRADES of tool work and many
otner lines, most OF which heretofore
had been imported from European
countries. This change of position. OF
course, brought the waterfront prop-
critics OF th.s country into q new posi-
tloN. Many new steamship lines were
started, and that meant, OF course. the
establishment on the Atlantic seaboard
OF many shipbulldlng plants and repair
yards.

the transition period that one almost
