10 REAL ESTATE REAL ESTATE FOR 1916 LOOKS GOOD Good Values, Increased Buying and Good Profits Are Predicted "Real Estate Promises Tor 1916" was the subject of an interesting •>aper read by George A. Shrelner at i recent meeting: or the Harrisburg Real Kstate Board. His paper was i»ased on an article in the National lieal Estate Journal by N. J. Upham, president of the International Realty Association. The paper follows: "The year 1916 holds forth prom ises of — "A solid foundation for all values, "A steady and substantial advance for most property. "I/argely increased buying of ionics, or business property and for investment. "Good profits for those using good judgment in their real estate pur chases in 1916. "The very best year seen for many vcars, to be followed by even better years. "Certain causes produce known ef fects in nature, in human life, in business, in investments, and particu- i larl.v in real estate. "The thoughtful and wise, the moneymakers, watch conditions and events to recognize those causes | which produce the best known ef-' fects—then act with energy and courage and profit accordingly. "Existing causes resulting from I events and conditions will produce the effects above outlined for real •state in 1916. As "Water is sure to j run down hill," so is it equally cer- i tain that real estate everywhere it) 1 the United States will go up sub- j stantially in 1916 and for a number of years thereafter, because of the period of unequaled prosperity we tire now entering and which promises to last, for a period of years and will ! grow in intensity each year. "Every occupation, every industry, ( nil transportation, manufacturing, mining of every kind, agriculture, jobbing and retail business, commer cial and investment banking, labor, skilled and unskilled are all working to capacity. Foreign commerce showing a balance of a billion and ; a half dollars last year is expected to show two and a half billions the pros- , ent year. Our finances are in splen did contition —our debts to Europe \ paid and Europe owing us large sums. We have more wealth in the country; than ever before known: these are; causes insuring prosperity, and pros perity is the cause that insures ac tivity and higher values in real estate. The War's Effect "The war was a cause having cer tain effects. First, it caused panic, liquidation, stagnation and depres sion. Then it increased the demand for food products, supplies and muni tions at rising prices, caused recovery in certain lines. These lines in turn i affected others favorably. The circle of business activity widened. "Then 1915 brought big crops with : big prices, over five billions of new | wealth. The farmer commenced to j buy freely, the prosperous railroads j bought equipment and new supplies. Other domestic lines became active | and increased their orders until now [ we are in a position whore the war orders are actually retarding the tilling of pressing domestic orders, because of difficulty of deliveries and the rapid advances in prices. First an injury, then a benefit, now hold ing back domestic business, which is accumulating like a flood, much of which cannot be filled until war orders cease. The End of the War "When the war stops, known causes are such as to vastly increase domes tic business and prosperity. With peace instead of war, this country will be deluged with orders for re construction, for the warring na tions, and hy orders from neutral countries which have had their busi This modern, restricted, resi dence section is the ideal spot in which to raise your chil dren —you have the country life with every city convenience and comfort.

For a considerable time , j the supplies formerly gotten from the j ' warring nations will be unobtainable , [there, because those countries must' first supply their own needs and in- I ! deed themselves must turn to the I | United States for many things. Much | i of the world must look to the United I States. This all insures us a world ! I commerce such as we have never seen I and one limited only by the ability of i | the United Slates to produce the | | goods. Then What? "The casualties of the warring j nations, already exceeding ten mil- j lions of men, are estimated by another year to exceed twenty millions. A serious shortage of labor must occur in the countries that heretofore have manufactured goods largely for the i world. This shortage means higher ! i prices for European labor. Heavy war debts mean heavy taxes, higher! ! tariffs and increased cost of European | living, which means a higher cost of European production, thus reducing i greatly, competition with American ; manufacturing. American skill, and American wealth. This will turn j hereafter a larger part of the com | merce of the world to the United States. The end of the war means Increased business, increased oppor tunities, increased prosperity for years. Such are the causes working for a greater prosperity for the United States. Such prosperity must surely cause real estate to advance in value throughout the country and fulfill the 1916 promises for real estate. Thoughtful ami Thoughtless "Real estate men everywhere should pass the word to the thoughtful, and the thoughtless, to the person who owns good property and to the per son who has put off getting a home of his own, or who has postponed ac quiring real estate.
