PHILLIPS 927 18th St. ™ Dist. 1411 Mr. and Mrs. Carson H. Ellis have just purchased this dwelling, located at 123 Madison street, from OCooley Bros., builders. The house contains six rooms and two baths. Builders (Continued From Pirst Page.) building materials sales through these dealers show that the current im- provement is a fundamental one. “A brief ctatistical look at the build- ing industry will show why so much importance is attached to the current wide-spread improvement in home building. There are, for example, 167,500 builders and building contrac- tors, 930,000 carpenters, 17,000 retail lumber dealers and 22,000 architects, 240,000 real estate agents, officials and employes. New House Helps Many. “When a new house goes up in a| town practically all the local stores| and shops are helped. That is why current residential improvement means so much to the 25,000 hardware stores, 8,300 paint and glass stores, 10,000 plumbing and heating shops, 17,900 furniture stores, 8,000 household ap- pliance stores. “The above figures relate to the construction and retail sales divisions of the industry only. In addition, there are the thousands of wholesale institutions and, back of these, the manufecturing industries that pro- duce roofing, cement, lumber, plumb- ing and heating, metals, insulation and the hundreds of other products involved in the home. “Another indicator of forward movement in residential construction is the advertising programs now being planned for the Fall and for next Spring. Appropriations are running far ahead of any recent year. A com. pilation of the producers of products and equipment involved in home building shows that there are over 3,000 firms that are considered pros- pects for national advertising. “When a large per cent of these firms resume their advertising, it is conceded, even greater stimulus will be given to the development of resi- dential construction.” Louis Rosenberg, Eighth and G streets southeast, owner and builder; George T.
