Now is the Time to Build.
DON'T wait till mid-summer or late
in the fall. Commence now before
the rush, while you can get plenty of
material cheap and while meohanics are
not crowded with work. Every season
repeats itself: A big rush late in the
season and a lull "in the early spring
time when the violets bloom."
We have a fine stock of lumber and
we are equipped to get out detail work
for the finest kind of finish. A superior
quality of buildings are what we are
looking for this season, now that the
permanence of the town and. country is
assured.
