A Big Hold-Up!
Has Been Broken in Building
Activities.
Those who have not started building are planning
to do so in the veary near future.
Considering freight rates, building material is
now on a pre-war basis.
Remember, you are robbing yourself the longer
you postpone those much needed buildings.
How about a screened in porch or a new roof or
some new floors?
A good floor will cost less than a new rug and will
last indefinitely.
Get our prices and be convinced.
e appreciate your patronage.
