so little progress has been made in this ancient industry
since the day turned from the of nature
to building of wood and stone. w
Both method and style of construction there is little
fundamental difference between the homes of today and those
thousand years ago The materials used to build it are
practically the and the built has been changed
but little
And hope for very material change in the
manner building home. The development of the Ready
Made Home which may buy he buys suit of clothes

compete successfully with the ancient practice OF each
separate home individual unit
Ready-nade homes have been the market for num-
Der of and each has wdened their field OF use
funeSS. Today satisfy almost any architectural or
structural desire from the pages of catalogue.
The ready-made home is inevitable Tremendous waste
has always resulted and always will result from building
home in the old way. This waste cannot be avoided when
every home is built to suit each individuals fancy Only
through standardization of design and quantity production
the of home be lowered to point where can be
purchased by the great majority OF families
Nor does Standardization mean that every man must
purchase the kind of home thousand different de-
sgns are on the market TODAY With quantity production and
nationwide distribution sufficient number OF homes can and
will be successfully designed and manufactured to meet the
taste and requirements of the great majority of home buyers
The coming of the Ready-Made Home will not materially
affect fortunes of of todayS home builders. 1t will

1t is utterly impossible for many men to buy or build at

Washington and throughout the
country show a marked gain since
the beginning OF the year. The total
in Washington for January was W.

try was approximately s5zb.Ooo'oOO.
The greater share OF Washington's

every Indication that these gains VIII
continue from month TO month. and
that the coming spring will witness
40 unprecedented activity In the
,huildlns field.
Demand Never Stronger.
Commenting on the general build
ing situation throughout the country
s. w. Straus, prominent building
fnancier OF New York. says:
THE demand for accommodations
OF all descriptions Is stronger than II
has been at any time in the past, due
to the long period OF underproduction
in the industry and the country's
growth in population and business,
The labor situation In the INDUSTRY ls
more stabilized than has been the
case for several months. While sup
plies of building materials are lin
ted ut present, improved labor con-
ditions are expected to greatly stimu-
late production in these lines and
make II more readily possible for
builders to proceed with their work.
Costs Going Up.
Building costs are moving toward
higher levels. and there is no immedi-
ate indication that these tendencies
will be exchanged. The labor supply
is sufficiently limited, and the demand
for buildings is strong enough TO
create underlying conditions that will
exert a continued pressure toward
higher price levels.
General conditions throughout the
industry are in a wholesome condi-
tion. This. is reflected in a strong de-
mand for capital with which to
further building enterprises. The
enormous demand for space and the
steady marking up of rents has
brought about a considerable amount
of new building of the larger types
or construction. such as office struct-
ures, manufacturing plants. hotels.
and apartment houses in the leading
~ities Of the country.
