Government Behind Home Building The- next major activity of govern ment will be an attempt to stimulate heavy industries — which normally provide the bulk of employment, ■were hit hardest by depri ssion. and have been the most lethargic in re cevl ring from it. And the first step in doing that will be to unloose cap ital for home4>uilding and repairing, through Federal guarantees of mor tgages Mr. Roosevelt has rent a spe cal message to Congress to expedite such legislation. Experts .stimate that it is possible to unloose to the tune of $1,500,000, 000 or more in this manner. That money would go to painters, carpen ters, masons, plumbums, contractors It would buy cement, steel, paint lumber roofng, electric fixtures- It would pass through a hundred gr,.<at industries, creating jobs and oppor tunities as it went- It doesn’t take much imagination to visualize the ex U Tit of its influence in pulling busi 1 nesses of all kind out of the dold j rums. ; Here’s a thought for the wise pro 1 perty-owner to start considering Shirts Laundered t CASH AND CARRY AT Edholm and Sherman 2401 North 24th St. We 6055 j right now: If building is gr.atly accelerated, prices for everything in volved are going to rise- They’rv go ing to leave depression levels b, hind and return to the normal average— that, in fact, is or* a of the cardinal aims at this time- Those who can af ford to repair and build now have an opportunity that may never be re peated in their lifbttimes. # Mill made Screens and Doors while you wait. 2717 North 24th Street.
