BUILD YOUR HOME NOW

i There is a world wide movemeir, I afoot to commence home building, a movement so pronounced that the i building trades in the leading coua- : tries are already becoming more than , ordinarily busy. One reason for ■ this demand for homes is the settling down of the people after the nomadw desires caused by the late war. It . is the materialisation of a desire for peace, quietness, and the happiness of settled routine life. Again the cramped life in our big cities and towns has become irksome. It is no longer necessary that from two to even six families should reside ia 1 one house, as was the case during I the latter end of the war in conse- ■ quence of the absence of the male population, and in particular thosu 1 of the building trade. It is now possible to order the erection of your nome with a certainty that it will be built within a reasonable period ■ and at a reasonable cost. The lattar !is another reason why building operations are being commenced. All materials are down in price, and though the cost of labour is still much higher than the pre-war level, contractors are working on the narrowest margin of profit. Labour is not likely to be any cheaper for some time, and any reduction will be com pensated by a rise in the price of materials as the demand increases. It again emphasises the advisability i of building now.
