EQUITABLE SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION 242 STARK STREET THE great National thrift movement, which has been called "BUY A HOME FIRST," was started by the executive committee of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, which held a meeting at Savannah, Ga.t the early part of February, this year.- This committee is made up of members from all the different parts of the United States. . - It was brought to light by this committee that there had been a decided falling off in a great many communi ties throughout the United States d.uring the past four years in the buying of homes. It was also shown that there was no concentrated effort on the part of anyorfc to keep the minds of the public on the merits of owning their own homes and the great benefit to be derived from them. The importance of the movement along the line of encouraging people to own their own homes was brought to President Haas, of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, so forcibly that he appointed a committee of five to work out the details of a National buy-a-home campaign. Hill Ferguson, of Birmingham, Ala., was made chairman and Paul C. Murphy, of this city, was made a member, of the National committee. After carrying on correspondence for a month or more Mr. Ferguson boiled down the various suggestions of fered and sent them out to the different real estate boards throughout the country for adoption. Immediately thirty-five of the cities saw the great necessity of the campaign, adopted the plan and are now carrying on campaigns. Since that time one hundred cities have also taken up the movement. There is one lumber concern in Florida alone that is carrying on a campaign in sixty cities. While the campaign was originated by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, the magnitude of its importance was soon realized and it spread rapidly to include practically all lines of industry. The largest lumber magazine in the world devoted a page to the movement on April 7. Its editors received so many enthusiastic inquiries from the lumbermen throughout the country that on April 14, one week later, they devoted their entire front page to the movement. The good that is bound to flow from the campaign is so far reaching that it is hard to estimate just where it will end. In cities where the campaign has begun and is well under way a phenomenal increase in home construc tion, as well as home purchases, is reported. The movement has the support of the entire business interests in the cities where the campaign is being carried on. The "BUY A HOME FIRST" in Oakland is participated in by the Oakland Chamber of Commerce, Alameda County Civic Association, Manufacturers' Association, General Contractors' Association, Oakland Rotary Club, Ad Club, Merchants' Exchange, Ministerial Union, as well as the Oakland Real Estate Board. The committee appointed by the Realty Board to carry on the campaign here invited a great many interests to participate in the campaign and the first meeting was held in. the Chamber of Commerce in the early part of April. A resolution was passed electing Paul C. Murphy chairman of the campaign, giving him authority to appoint an executive committee to carry on the work. The following committee was appointed: Ira F. Powers, Powers Fur niture Co.; A. Craig McMicken, P. R., L. & P. Co.; Sidney Rasmussen, Rasmussen & Co.; Chester Hogue, West Coast Lumber Assn.; W. J. Hofmann, The Oregonian, and Frederick H.

PORTLAND MAY NOT BID' Rejection of Lower Tenders Causes Displeasure Among Grain Men. "What's the user" Is the natural query of Portland bidders on Govern ment contracts for supplies for Hawaii and the Philippines these days, for the latest awards have gone to Seattle bid ders at a considerably higher cost. Portland firms are so disgusted with the situation that they are likely to de cline to make further tenders when Government proposals for supplies are received. The Chamber of Commerce has wired the Quartermaster's department, call ing attention to the situation and to the former promise of business here when prices named were satisfactory. On the recent contracts Portland bid ders were $2100 under Seattle on a 3000-ton grain contract.
