Seattle’s Largest Clothiers. First and University Second and University Build NOW! Because: Material Prices Are Right— . Labor Is Plentiful and Efficient— Badly Needs New Buildings, and— Nothing Is to Be Gained by Further Delay! To those contemplating building in Seattle The Journal of penanerets in view of all existing conditions, suggests— uild Now. This conclusion is arrived at after a careful study of all conditions having to do with local and Northwest building construction and of those conditions, insofar as it is possible to determine*them, which will have future bearing on the construction situation. We must either go ahead or we must slump behind. We cannot stand still. We hear altogether too many gloomy predictions of hard times ahead which are not based on any- thing othet than the statements of those who would prefer to be pessimistic than otherwise. We have held off long enough with much needed construc- tion and conditions are now exceptionally favorable insofar as building costs are concerned. It is true that prices of both materials and labor, taken as a whole, are higher than they were in 1913 and 1914, but it is also true that practi- cally all commodities are bringing higher prices than they © did in pre-war days. We are satisfied that construction costs will not decline rapidly enough, if they should decline further, to justify delay by those contemplating the con- a of buildings which can be put to use when com- pleted. * We have had no reconstruction period locally as regards building construction since the close of the war. We acquired the habit of retrenching during hostilities and it is the belief of The Journal of Commerce that the time has come to view the future, ff not with more optimism, at least with more confidence. There is no occasion for us to further listen to boy! aac of the crepe-hangers so numerous in our mids! . Again we say—build now. (ADVERTISEMENT) Our leading trade journal [The Journal of Commerce] after making a careful survey of the situation, makes the following editorial comment: Again We Urge—Build Now Building now meanseconomy. If in doubt consult your building material dealer, architect, contractor, real estate agent or banker and be convinced. Build Seattle—and.Do It NOW!
