More favorable conditions could not be ex pected. either for the securing of labor or ma terial. The man who delays now will likely later find himself in the midd ot the greatest building era our country has seen. It is our business to study building conditions and, in our opinion, an opportunity exists now for the man who wants to build. Highest Market Price Paid for Poultry and Veal Calves Thos.
