Industrial Activity
Is Foreshadowed

WASHINGTON. Dec. sl.--Con.
tinued industrial activity il predicted
by the committee on ssaristics of the
chamber Of commerce Of thc United
States in its annual end-of-tEe-year
review Of business and crop condi-
tions. Manufacturers, the review
says, have orders in excess to their
capacity and in the retail trade there
is feeling Of confidence Of the con-
tinuation, until another harvest at
least, of the demand for all classes Of
commodities.
Farmers are reported unusually
prosperous, because of the high prices
Of their products, The liberal spend
ing of the farmers, the review assert
ed, is the backbone and sustaining
power of the present volume Of bus
mess throughout the country as they
are paying mostly casti and are pur-
chasing more improved farm machin-
cry and pure bred livestock than ever
before.
Of the general crop situation, the
report stated that rain did much dam
age to unharvested crops IN the south
and in the southern portions of some
Of the central states, reducing the
yield and impairing quality.
Winter wheat acreage will be mat
erially reduced this fall, the review
said, as The farmers believed winter
wheat production at high prices was
over for the present,
Great activity in building" the
committee added, "is expected in sec
tions except where crop failures were
extensive, copper mining is in new
state, silver mining is doing we'll, oil
production is good"

You haven't bought, nor
have you built your own
home. Why? First of all,
because You have argued
with yourself that the cost
of houses in Washington is
much too high, and will
soon decline. Secondly, be-
cause you have heard that
the cost of construction is
all out of proportion. In
the first instance, the law of
Supply and Demand con-
trolls the situation, and will
continue to control it until
sufficient homes are erected
to meet the housing condi-
tons of the city. 1t is true
that there are many houses
for sale in Washington, but
are they the type of home
that you want to settle in,
to call your own? And then
the prices. They don't suit
you at all. Our friend the
law of Supply and Demand
creates the market, and the
market creates the prices.
The second phase of the
situation is controlled by

cost, and as long as the
cost of labor keeps up, as
long as there are strikes for
higher wages, as long as
hens and cows and so on
refuse to. listen to reason,
the cost of labor will be
high, and you will still be
a tenant in some house
that possibly does not suit
your wants, and if it does
is too high in price for you
to purchase.
We believe that we have
solved these problems. We
have gone into the situa-
ton carefully and are in a
position to speak confident
.ly, as it is our business to
keep our fingers on the
pulse of the real estate mar
ket. We vii build you the
home you want, according
to your own ideas. Our
