Time, opportunity and need—all beckon you to build now. Promote the
home beautiful and city beautiful plan, start local activities in trade, employ
labor—especially the returning soldiers and sailors looking for occupation.
It’s the patriotic thing to do; it’s the sensible thing to do; it’s the profitable
thing to do. Our town has grown a little bit shabby; it has halted somewhat
in its progress. No fault of ours. The government during the war withheld

the use of building materials. The ban is now removed. Unless we get busy
now, if we do not progress, then the fault will be ours. It’s up to you investors
and home builders. The need is great for new homes, new and modern office
buildings and stores, sanitary factories. Put money in circulation, employ
labor. It will make our town prosperous, enterprising, active, progressive and
return to the investor remarkable dividends.

Houses are imperatively necessary in this Nation to
meet the demands of the times. A shortage was present
at the beginning of the war at a time when building had
been carried on at top speed for a number of years.
For the past four years little building lias been done,
materials having been diverted into those channels made
necessary by the demands of the war. Every city in the
Nation is short of houses. Rural districts are correspond-
ingly short. Very few houses or barns have been erected
within the past four years, and for the past two years
the war board placed a restriction on all kinds of build-
ing
These needs still exist, and those who have waited for
building actually needed will want to supply their needs.
They will draw as fast as they can upon the depleted
stocks of lumber.
Plans are formulating for rebuilding Europe—not
alone the devastated portion only, for that is small in
comparison with four years of actual paralysis of build-
ing efforts.0 Construction must be begun to meet the exi-
gencies of the times. The lumber industry of the United
States will be called upon to supply products from the
forests to meet these demands. As soon as ships are
available this drain upon the lumber in this country will
begin.
The Department of Labor, in a recent report, shows
that this Nation is $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 short of
buildings which were needed at the beginning of the war.
This need still exist plus the lack of construction that
would have gone on for the past four years if there had
been no war. Material to do this work must come from
somewhere—from the forest to the mill, thence to the con-
sumer.
The Government has used billions of feet of lumber in
cantonment construction. This will not be placed on the
market as some people think, but will be used in needed
construction or remain where it is to meet the-demands
of an increased army.
The demands for building material from so many
sources is not calculated to strengthen the impression
that lumber will be cheaper later on. It can not grow
cheaper under the demands of the times, when every ac-
tivity and need points to a wider demand.
