Summarizing the advantages
which make it economically sound
to begin home construction imme-

the following facts:
Building material costs are the
lowest since 1917, with exception

There is a plentiful supply Of

In an increased efficiency.
Funds are available from banks,

"All Of these facts tend to

"At the present rate Of build
