BETTER TONE EVINCED IN
BUILDING INDUSTRY SAYS
PROMINENT BUSINESS CONCERN
S. W. Straus & Company of New York Assert That
Advent of Spring Will Bring Renewed Construction
Activity—There Is Tendency Toward More
Favorable Labor Conditions Also.
That the buildiug Mason next spring
will open with considertble activity is
predicted by S. W. Straus and Com-
pany of New York. Tbw opinion is
I baM*d on the more favorable condition |
| toward which labor is working and the t
• manifestation of thrift on the pnrt of;
the general public. As a result uf the
acute hhortnge of dwellings through- t
out the country it is forecast that a I
pronounced home-building movement |

building industry 8. W. Straus and •
Company says:
“A somewhat better tone is indi ■
I rated in the building industry by ret-
i son of tendencies tow ard a more stab- j
*;lined labor situation. Unmistakably |
the । »copie of the nation are becoming i
1 aroused to a conwiouanexß of thr wide
' spread need of thrift. Not only have ■
| we reached a place where then* is man
ifest unwillingness to tolerate in
' creases in the coat of living but then*
is an indicated appreciation of the fart
that trift of time as well as thrift
of money and all other forms of mater-
ial wealth is’essential.

•’The tendency toward better labor ।
condition* which comprises one of the
outstanding features of the building sit |
uation at the present time may be j
taken as the manifestation of a grow--।
ing appreciation uf thrift as a stabi-
lizing necessity.
‘■These condition* should not l»r ac-
cepted as indicating an immediate re-
sumption of pronounced activity . in
<*onstruction work. There is no im-
-1 pruvement of consequence to tw noted ।
I in actual o|M»rati«m*. ami. at this sea-.
. son of the year it cannot be rioted.
■ However there are reasonable rxiwvta-
tions that the spring building wa-sn of
1921 will open with considerable activ-'

the country is still acute and. while I
. the people have found it possible to
(adopt themselves to cramped conditions
‘for the time being they will not be con-

’ It is a part of human nature to seek
' continually higher standards of living
There is bound to ensue sooner or later
a very pronounced home building move-
ment which will be hastened a* we ap-
proach stabilized conditions of labor
and other essential building costs.
Price* Are Shifting.
“Shifting conditions Mill prevail in
the price of building materials and it

Efficient Service.
Tn the opinion of Ed Freidrich lo?al
manufacturer of store e<|uipment. it i»
remarkable how efficient distribution
facilities in San Antonio hav- become.
He illustrates his assertion bv coi.iiin?
to the service his concern is rendering
in supplying customers with urtiel ’s ur-
dered. with th«* |msw|b!e .
It is now |H>«sible for dealer* lining
business in town* many mile* fnmi
San Antonio to place order* for sup-
plies early in the morning and receive
them by evening of the same day. re-
cording to Mr. Frcidrirli. If a Luger
number of dealers in thi* terri* »ry were
aware of the saving in time and fr ight
charge* that could be effected by order-
ing from San Antonio houses inMead
of in th* North and Ea*t. he i 4 Matiefied
that local manufacturing eoue.-rn*
would receive more orders thna tney
could fill.
“For instance.” he *ays. “it wa* only
th* other day that the firm of Manry
and Hart of Austin desiring to add a
k in*at line to their grocery bii'iiu**.
calle<| upon us to supply them with the
necessary equipment. These men se-
lerted a complete outfit for their stor-*
