BUILDERS ADVISED TO WAIT
NO LONGER. 1850

Do not put off until next year the
building that might be started this
spring, is, in short, the advice given
to prospective builders and investors
concerned about building by Mr.. AL
len E. Beals.
Mr.. Beals states in signed article
on the financial page of the New
York American, after the Civil war
thirteen years elapsed before the
price of building materials reverted
to pre-war levels" Even though the
price peak of materials may be reach
ed in less time than that, it seems to
this authority and expert on the
building market that there will be a
high, price level either at or above
the present prices which will be
maintained for long time
The best thing to do, Mr. Beals
says, is to start building plans at
once because it is certain that next
spring building material prices will
be considerably higher than now. ***
