That is, '"to bring about a quick resumption of building, and put the unemployed men to work." In other words, a shy and cautious build ing boom is knocking again at our door. There are two ways to meet it. One is to say, "Now we'll soak him! He's got to have our .stuff!" The other is to say, "Welcome, old man ! We've 'had prices on the toboggan; Hang up your hat and stay with us for good." Which way? The Chamber of Commerce says frankly, "It's up to us." As to lumber, we can say that we are now able at our Sumter "concentration yard" to buy lumber at prices -far below thoso of a year ago And, remembi't, the "low point" of cost i'b always at that ccntie, light in the midst of the Southern lumbi" mills.
