ONLY RELIEF IS TO BUILD
 HOUSES

Confronted with the present situation, the only relief for those in need of 2 home is to build. We believe that if you have not already prepared your plans and made arrangements to build. you would do well to do so by or before early spring. Every indication is that there will be . renewed demand for all kinds of building materials in early spring and there also may develop . scarcity of construction labor which is plentiful now. Therefore.
 we believe that the person who arranges his plans to build in the near future will discover that he has used keen foresight.

Jernison' Realty Review

Stfil further reductions in the cost of building materials were announced during the past week and added impetus was thus given to building operations in this district. For several weeks the construc- tion of homes and other buildings has shown . very gratifying activity.
 As a result of these reductions in the cost of building, there has been notice able stimulation in the demand for. and sale of vacant property. Due to the small amount of vacant residential prop- erty which has all modern conveniences. such IS car line, telephone lines, sewers, paved streets and sidewalks. lights. water and gas, we feel confident that this vacant property is about to enjoy the same activity which marked transactions in ready built houses until practically all available ones were disposed of.
