Show EXTENSIVE BUILDING PLANS There is to be no slump in building activities this year, but instead in-stead a recent federal survey shows that building plans over the entire en-tire country equal if not exceed the 1924 record. This is good news for the lumber industry, as lumber is the chief building material employed in our country. If properly constructed, a frame building, is nearly as1 fire resisting resist-ing as any other. The loss is not so great irj remodeling as with other materials, for the lumber may be ree-used. Also, winter construction is possible where lumber is used, affording afford-ing employment to labor during a usually slack season. |
