, V KVKIIV home tuiilder were
to let his contract during tho
fall or early part of tho win
ter there would, of course., bo
an eutirely different condition
thnn that which annually ex-
Istp. Tho condition, In fact, would bo
tho samn ns we now havo each sp-ing
and summer. Knowing from previous ex
perience that every homo builder will not
nccopt his advice and that, therefore,
the condition which confronts homo
builders In tho spring, will not be cre
ated at this time of the year, ho will,
for the sake of thoso who can see the
advisability and tne saving in cost and
consider It worth while. Inform them
of the following facts:
At this tlm$ of the year most summer
work In complete. All good contractors
still have soma work to do, but whero
they have .had some ten or twelve houses
aplccn and other buildings under con
htructlon during the summer months, they
now have nu average of but two pr
three contracts for which wero received
In August. September or October. Soma
of tlieso homfcs will be complete, by
Christmas; others will be under construe- :
tinn tliioiiKli thu winter.
My Christmas thoro will bo fully 73 per
emt less homes and buildings under con
struction than during the rush of the
building season, which means 75 por cent
of the labor employed In building con
struction being Idio and this condition
will e.lst until tho winter breaks nnd
spring business opens up. TIUs means a
proportionately smaller amount of mill
work being turned out and other building
materials, e'xeept by somo concerns which
take advantago of tho quiet season and
place in waruliousoB a largo supply of
stock mill work. The Inevitable law of
supply and demand controls the cost of
a building to a much larger extent than
the- so-called combinations that are sup
posed to exist between manufacturers of
building materials, especially since the
panic of 1MI. when combinations broke
up everywhere and it vrua each man for
himself. Vndor these building conditions
prices nro naturally lower during tho
winter than during the spring or summer
and In must lines of building materials
It ts possible for u contractor to order
thein at tho low prevailing winter prices
for future delivery within a cortaln Urn
ttd litre. So-r.e of the larger con
tractors will ordar in carload lots cer
tab) maturlals, such as lumber, shingles,
"lap' flooring, cement, brck, etc.,
hc'her they have orders on hand for
hem or not. In order to make sute on
tho loner prices, but they always order
well within the possible amount that
tly will need. The most of the-m, how
ner are not willing to take such chances
and my make orders for future delivery
on ti.e actual contracts on hand. There
fore the contractor who bids upon work
(n December or January kflbws to a cer
talim that ho cun get many Items ut
u j.'ivrr cost; when he takes bids from
the mill on the mill work he gets a lower
frl. knows that there is going to bo
n (I lay li1 the delivery', which means
no annoying instances where good men
h.tv tj b laid off for laek of material,
one of the most serious prpblems which
clmfiunts a man who takes contract
work, especially with the time limit. He
knows that he can have a pink of good
n en and slneo one man will- often do
twice the work and do It more accurately

Furniture Best Christmas Gift
It is the kind that endures
take Whrk practically at cost In order to
keep their best men employed through
the winter; but when they take contracts
In .December and January, they, of course,
do so with the expectancy of many more
to follow nnd they charge n legitimate,
but usually at this time of the year a
moderate profit much less than they will
be charging later during the rush season.
This Is. however, the saving on the cost
of materials, the saving through the lack
of delays nnd the saving on the coit of
labor, as well as better materials and In
creased efficiency both In the factories
whero the materials are mado and, at the
house where they are built into place.
Anything In this world to be mutually
s;!t!sfa"tory must b mutually profitable.
The contractor gets ills legitimate profit
and what Is mofe. 1 am glad to sy. to
a majority of them the satisfaction of
knowing that the work Is going to be well
done with its consequent good advertis
ing, while the home builder or the man
eroctlng any kind of a building. Kpts n
lower price through the savlrigs above
mentioned and better materials and labor
In his building, which means greater sat
isfaction and less repairs and last, but
not least hn Is able to move' Into hli
home In tlmo to enjoy it through a
greater part of the summer season. This
would be attraction enough for the aer
i' Be man but it addition to this he alsn
sucs In many Instance, that many
months rent for the home he previously
occuiited.
Ty enable the contractors to know how
much matorlal they van order at the low
prices for future delivery they should re
ceive tholr contraets during December or
January, preferedly the fornw-r. After the
