U is unreasonable lor wage earn ers manufacturers and even shopkeepers to complain about the increase in building costs when they are getting similar increases for labor agricultural products manu factured goods and merchandise Of course building will fall off but when that time comes and prices are lower most people won't have the money to take advantage of the well-locat- ed "We Pay" Paint: There are many good paint companies but as an illustration The I mention Sherwin-William- s stock sells for $67 and yields five percent Painting is one of the first things that people economise on when hard times come but this may not apply to the large number of aingle story houses built in recent years which need repainting soon and can be done by the owners As a final reason for being reasonably optimistic on building let me mention the very liberal mort gage terms of today When I built a house 30 years ago I was obliged to pay six percent interest and got as mortgage for only three years Today you can borrow money at 4Vi percent and have 20 years to pay it back Questions - bargains!
