Brick Famine Faces Omaha Contractors and Builders Omaha building contractors are hav ing difficulty in obtaining supplies of brick. Some building jobs have ac tually been halted by the lack of brick. Local brick yards are unable to sup ply the demand and the shortage in other yards throujiout the country, together with the car shortage and consequent slowness of transporta tion, has made a brick famine in Omaha. Several causes are assigned. One is that Omaha is doing an exceptional lot of building this spring. Another is that steam coal was very hard to get last winter and that some of the yards had to suspend operations at times because of the delays. Still an other reason given is that the weather during the winter was not favorable to brick manufacture and as a result the supply was depleted 1 such an extent that manufacturers cannot catch up this spring. .1 .a n ll.ua mummt:T"rr Gas Range Week May 7th to 13th $3.00 Reduction on all Cabinet Ranges for this week only.
