GOOD MEETING OF
YOUNG MEMS CLUB

cy one Of helping out the build
ers of their homes to finance
their propositions by loaning
them up to i6 per cent. or even
up to 30 per cont. OF the cost as
a second mortgage.
The upshot of the whole mat.
ter was that while no definite
action was taken on this matter.
the president, DR.. j. a. Gilmer,
having had to leave the meet
ing, the general sentiment was
that the Big Stone Gap Home
Building Association should be
put on it's feet Immediately
Monday night being suggested
as the time for a meeting of the
directors of the company.
After short discussion on
the question of getting more ac.
commodations on the pullman
running west from Big Stone
Gap the meeting adjourned al
1880, Mr.. W. S. Miller being
appointed u committee of one to
write II. Il. Pusey in regard to
obtaining more sections in the
pullman.

now ask is the opportunity of
extending this privilege to oil
who propose to build.
Building material ia high as
compared with the pre-. war pc
Rod but we donbt very serious.
~ II any proposed builder will
save money by waiting for a
decline in prices, the scarcity
of timber, the extra cost of pro-
duction and the foreign demand
creates condition that does
not justify a hope of reduced
prices, although this company
is frank to state that they
would be glad TO see this RI.
duction come, they don't ex.
pect any advance aud see no
condition why prices will in
any way advance during the
year and their Judgment in this
respect is confirmed by the fact
that they have an exceedingly
large stock on hand in their
buildings aud warehouses at
Bristol. They are able to ship
any ordinary house pattern on
very short notice All partics
desiring quick action aud TO
save time by reason of their
ability to ship promptly aud
their close proximity to Big
Stone Gap will not only save
time, which III many cases is
valuable, but the more impor.
tant feature of delays and
damage i'll freight shipments in
an exceeding long distance is
entirely eliminated in their
case.

The Big Stone Gap Land Com

ty houses this spring and sum
mer in plat five. These houses
will be mainly for the accommo-
dation of the Southern Railway

Look Big Store Gap, the best
town i'll the southwest.
Big Stone Gap is the most
centrally located place for the
entire southwest territory and
travelling men covering this sec
ton, who are looking for a place
to build home should invcsti-
gate conditions in Big Stone
Gap. Lots are cheaper here
than elsewhere and no town has
better schools and churches than
are to be found here.
a concerted effort to build
more homes in Big Stone Gap is
getting under way here now,
and every one who possibly can
do so is urged to build q home
this year. If you want to sell
it you can sell it at a profit and
if you want to rent it you can
make good per cent. on your
money. The main thing is to
build the house, it will take care
OF the Investment.
Outside people have their eyes
on Big Stone Gap and Il large
number wanting to move their
families here, and some OF them
will build their own homes. Let
every one of us do our utmost to
help locate every family who
wants to come.
