Juat now tkt building trade, of the

- time to build is' when material and la

.;- American Lumberman.
Iguorance of the present unusual op

va'ntage of conditions which may not
again present themselves for years, are
. inexcusable.
This ignnfanee is duo to carelessness,
negligence or oversight on the part of

' . Nominally some iiinnul'uoturers of build
iug marn:i:Ui havu nut lowered their
prices', Hut in every line, owing to too
slack demand, dealers are willing to
. make concessions to secure business.
. This is true of the glass makers, lum

' Vow is' (he time to start it.
Labor and Material Cheapest.
Material and labor can be secured
t nn mo"rfr.;ftdvautageous terms now than
at afliv other, tliiie within the last five
years, and probably more cheaply than
will be possiblo at any timo after 1908.
Mills and factories are being operat
ed under reduced schedule. Some of
them "aro closed down entirely. The
.' workmen who manned these institutions
are idle; some of them are walking
the streets -looking for employment.
They are able and anxious to work and
under present conditions will give great
rtr and better service in exchange for
less money now thau they have been
accustomed to give in the past.
Lumber is now being offered nt prices
which appear ridiculously low when
compared with market values last year.
. Where the. manufacturer or dealer re
fuses to make heavy concessions in
prices no inc. 0110 elso wilt to do so steps
' in and takes the trade.
This year a great deal of lumber has
. been' sold at prices that did not yield
sufficient to cover the actual cost of
. producing the stock. This, of course,
has not been the case generally, but
the lumber trade, so far this year, has
. been ronchtcteftV on about the same basts
: as the business of the man who trades
a dollar for 100 cents.
Yellow pine, hemlock, northern pine,
. spruce ami hard woods in nil sections
of the country am now being offered
. at prices ranging front $2 to $10 below
' last year's schedules. Shingles, red.ee
dars from the west, are bringing $1.20

. of building material also are being of
fered at bargain prices,
j' Soon the railroads and other heavy
consumers must come into the marketT
and the instant they do prices are go

the individual who delayed building In
the hope of securing even better terms
