Show THE HOME BUILDING CAMPAIGN. The home is the world's greatest savings bank. Industry and thrift are attributes of any man who owns a plot of ground and builds a home on it. Homes yield the highest interest of any bank in the world. Besides being be-ing a paying investment in a financial finan-cial way, a home creates greater earning ability. The home owner is a citizen of the community. He is interested in seeing property value increase. He is also a better woVkman. It is estimated that one million new homes are needed in the United States. All realize to some extent how urgent is the need for more homes. Building is delayed in the hope that soon labor conditions will become more favorable. Waiting for reduction in construction construc-tion costs is wasting time, for prices of materials are not likely to decline until there is a reduction in wage scales. , Price of building materials is made up of labor costs plus the cost of raw materials.. Production and transportation of raw materials are labor items. There can be no drop in selling prices without the corresponding corres-ponding drop in production and transportation costs. |
