Right Now is the
Greatest Time in
History to Build
Not since the Civil War have the prices of farm
products been so high wheat, com, alfalfa, rye, bar'
ley, oats, hogs, cattle, sheep, have doubled in price, and
in some cases trebled. It's time to make permanent
improvements. A new house or barn at Half Price!

High Priced Crops
Low Priced Lumber
The average rise in prices of building materials has am- ,
ounted to about 30 per cent. The rise in prices of farm
and many manufactured products has amounted to from
100 to 300 per cent.
-Think of it! With the same quantity of wheat, corn,
oats, alfalfa, hogs, etc. as before the war, you can build
two houses, two barns, two chicken sheds, two anything
Your farm products will buy twice as much honest, ser
viceable, workable
"Tum-a-Lum Lumber"
as they would three years ago wouldn't it be the part of
wisdom to build or remodel NOW whatever may be need
ed. A new house, a barn, a garage, a grain bin, a corn
crib, an implement shed, a hog house, a Tum-A-Lum $ilo,
a chicken house? The best investment one can make is in
better buildings means more and greater profits.
Prices Will Not Drop for Years
unless there is a general panic and you would be the last
to want them to drop! But the chances are building ma
terials will rise. Reconstruction, higher costs resuming
industries forced out by war will do it.
More Building Now Per Dollar
Why Wait ?
These are prosperous times BILLIONS being spent
with greater times coming. Buildings needed now will
produce a rental proportionate to their cost.

ply means that the material you are going to need will
cost more money planning will have to be done in a rush
material will have to be hauled when teams and rail
roads are working overtime Hundreds lost money last
year by 'not buying in January and February.
