PROSPECTS FOR
new YEAR GOOD
President of Building Firm
Sees Big Demand.

Prospects of enlarged opportu-
mites for the well-equipped con-
sentative builder in 1880, are seen
by Henry E. OStrom, president of
OStrom Realty and Construction
Company.
The year 1929, just closed, has
been full and busy year, he said.
ANY building construction job to
be efficiently and economically
prosecuted, must have personal at
tention and skilled supervision, )"
Ostrom commented.
mo two jobs present the same
problem, and the conscientious
building operator is in reality a
partner of the man for whom he
builds. Sound advice in every phase
of building promotion is as necessary
and indispensable as sound mortar
although our organization is in
a position to offer better prices be-
cause of volume buying and f1nanc-
ing, and to put up good buildings
with strictly good workmanship and
promptneSs in execution, we still
feel our best inducement to our
customer Is our long established re-
sponsibility and the personal, intel
ligent and sympathetic cooperation
which our company aims to give
each customer in creating what he
desires in a new building, so long as
it conforms to good business judg-
ment, as We conceive it.
THE Ostrom Realty and Con-
struction Company successfully has
executed large variety of building
operations, such as hotels, laundries,
business buildings, clubhouSes, ma
chine shops, bakeries, apartment
houses, public garages, mortuarieS.
dormitorieS, theaters, fraternity and
sorority houses, armories, postoffices
and many types of residences. Also
we have done a large volume Of re-
modelling and repair work.
THE building business is funda-
mental and flexible. In its ever
broadening channels, the builder
who is abreast with the times and
the growing needs will find de-
mand for his efforts and an increase
in the volume of his business"
