There are, however, three major factors which, be~ fore a great while, should materially change conditions for the better, These are: “{1) The period of easy money into which we have now definitely entered. *(2) The vigorous efforts undertaken by President Hoover and the united business interests of the country to stimulate activities along every possible line. “(3) The increased demand which has been created in most types of buildings through the slackened activities of re- cerit_months. “We believe, therefore, that the en- suing six-month period beginning De-| cember 1 should, on a conservative es- timate, offer nearly as much potential guhuc and private building as we have ad during the similar period of the gur just ending, when the volume was ut slightly less than $2,000,000,000.” . . on Feasibility of National Campaign.
