BUILDING MATERIAL

Early Orders Considered Nee

Price cutting Is not today the ef-
fective stimulant 1t usually is to
prompt buying Of building materials.
The market is there whether prices
are cut or not, competent authorities
say. The dominant factor in effect
ing q forward order, at this time. is
assured delivery on schedule. Build
ers expect difficulty next year in re-
gard to getting competent labor in
Quantities required, but they seek to
avoid periodic disruption OF their
Held forces by impressing upon buy
ers the economic necessity Of getting
materials at the Job on time. Hence
forward buying has become a device
TO circumvent the paying Of delivery
premiums as a possible penalty for
delayed purchases.
AS q matter Of fact, 1924 Is ex-
pected to distinguish itself as a year
in which the bonus and the premium
will play conspicuous parts in the
plans of late comers. Certainly no
autumn within contemporary memory
has developed the actual and poten-
tial possibilities for a forthcoming
year as has the present one.
