Prices Have Found Level
There were two reasons that
prompted the merchant in buying In
small quantities one was the lack
OF interest on the part Of buyers and ,
the other was the constantly chang
ing price levels that kept him in a
state OF suspense. Now 1t ia pretty
generally conceded, among both
manufacturers and merchants. that
prices have reached a consistent
level and that there Will not be
great deal Of variation for several
months or even within year.
Therefore. the merchant, sensing
this situation. is placing larger or
ders This Is borne out by frequent
reports from the east where 80
many large factories are located,
that these Institutions are gradually
rcopcning and operating either part
or fun time.
The first six months OF 1921 was
trying period for business. But
now that the crisis has passed. bust
ness will emerge from the melting
pot with renewed hope and more
substantial values Those who have
kept In touch with business ana the
values offered have not been slow
to recognize the change and to
profit by It, Tulsa business houses
are offering indisputablc values
that cannot be cXcelled anywhere in
the United states. Goods purchased
by local merchants during the high
price period have virtually all been
disposed Of, and tho low price levels
are In effect.
Building permits issued by the
city building Inspector during the
past few weeks Indicate there il a
revival of interest here in building.
While several permits have been
taken out for large business or
apartment buildings. most of them
are issued for private residences, ga
RACES and repairs or alterations.
Lumber dealers declare that prices
now are probably as low a. they viii
bo for a long timc-that they expect
an increase rather than further
decrease The number OF permits
issued for homes indicates Tulsans
are taking ADVANTAGE of the existing
situation and are buying their lum-
