AIM TO ELIMINATE
SLUMP IN BUILDING
Post-Seasonal Construction
Drive Proposed by vari-
GUS Business interests.

Agitation for a post build
ing drive. designed to make the usual
fall and winter construction slump q
thing of the past. is being maintained
by various building interests, it was
learned today. -
Statements pointing out the de-
STABILITY Of eliminating the slow sea-
son, from an investors standpoint.
and outlining steps being taken to
bring about continuation OF build
ing activities this winter are being
circulated widely.
Voice Of Cement Association.
The most recent announcement in
this connection was issued this week
by the Portland Cement Association
Of Chicago. 1t follows:
More Americans are focking to the
building bargain counter this fall
than at any time since the war halted
home construction. Contractors and
architects, usually the first to feel the
approach of cold weather with a
slump in business, report a steadily
increased volume of inquiries and city
officials are writing more permits Tor
erection of homes.
Men in the building industry. from
material manufacturer to carpe nter
and mason. have long known the
economic advantage Of building in the
slack season. For several years the
industry has waged a steady cam
paign to bring this fact before the
public and spread the congested ac-
tivfty of few months over the entire
year.
when the greater portion Of build
ing is crowded into seven months,
prices reach their highest in the
spring and summer. when the demand
crowds supply. The same situation
obtains in the labor phase of the
work.
Building in Fall an Advantage.
by building in the fall and as far
as possible into the winter. this de:
mand is more nearly proportioned
among twelve months of the year;
mills and factories are able to main
tain a steadier flow of production;
raw material is stabilized: workmen
are not shifting jobs so often. and the
contractor and architect are able to
keep their basic organizations intact,
thus decreasing overhead expenses
and assuring more satisfactory and
efficient work.
Men in the industry see in this
autumn's increased building, the
prospect of a broadening Of the old
stabilization Of building costs. es-
timating that the certain success OF
the home owners who are building
this winter will prompt many others
to take the step in succeeding seasons.
'The manufacturers Of cement par
ticularly have waged steady cam
paigns on this one subject. in per
fectinE methods OF using their product
in cold weather to the best advantage.
and to bring a realization of the
savings to be effected before the
public.
THAT such campaigns have borne
fruit is evidenced in reports for pro-
posed construction from many cities
which show q greater volume of all
classes Of building on the books for
fall and winter than ever before"

the south will offer many very attrac-
tive opportunities for the investor
Just at present the south Is hard hit
by the boll-weevil; but this very fact
is bringing 1t to a realization Of its
needs and opportunities. Thus. with
In a few years a new economic con-
dition should be established and the
south should be more prosperous than
at any time in the past.
The Babsonchart index dropped on
one point this week, standing now at
