Tor , a profes sional man an office it as essen tial as a place of residence for his family.- Yet many a veteran Is as baffled seeking office space as he Is hunting" for a dwelling". Prfor to the war years there was a marked surplus In office accommodations in most cities. During, the bulging "twenties' cities blossomed out with multi- storied office bjiildings but dur ing the bitter 'thirties tenants folded their tents like the Arabs and left many office . buildings to stand like gaunt skeletons against the skyline.

But war prosperity, which gave a lift to manufacturing, farming, and ' other enterprises, finally . breathed the breath of value back Into office structures.
