SAYS BUILDING
HAS DOUBLED
Over Fifty Billions
Since Close
Of World War
CHICAGO. Feb. 21.—More than
fifty billion dollars have been
spent for construction work in the
United States since the World war.
D. A. Garber. Washington. D. C.,
told an annual c 'mention of the
Associated General Contractors of
America opening here Wednesday.
“The annual volume of opera
tions has doubled since 1919.” Mr.
Garber, general manager of the
contractors' national organization
declared. “The estimated value of
construction operations of all types
In 1928 is eight billion dollars.”
The “increasingly high American
standard of living” was cited as be
ing basicly responsible for the vast
increase in building activities.
“The nation’s increased popula
tion and the movement toward
metropolitan areas admittedly have
exercised an influence,” Mr. Garber
stated, “but the demands for mod
ernization and the ability to pav
for satisfaction of the«e demands
form the real causes of the vast in
crease.
“The steady movement from pri
vate residences to apartments, de
velopment of new conveniences for
office structures and the increased
need for hotels have all had a di
rect effect upon general building
operations. Meanwhile many new
industries have been developed and
old ones have expanded, with a
constant demand for industrial
structures thus being exercised.”
The annual volume of hlghwav
and highway bridge construction
has tripled since ten years ago, it
was stated.
Mr. Garber’s report was present
ed at the opening session of the
convention, which is being attended
bv more than five hundred builders
from all parts of the country.

PHONES SHOW
C1TYGROWTH
Number Almost Treb
led In Brownsville
In Ten Years
“If the Increasing size of the
telephone directory is an indication
of growth and expansion, Browns
ville is showing signs of being one
of the most progressive cities in
Texas,” said J. V. Hucker. division
commercial superintendent at San
Antonio for the Southwestern Bell
Telephone company.
“During the past ten years the
Increase in number of telephone
subscribers has been steadily on the
up-grade.”
On January 1. 1920. the number
of stations in Brownsville was 748.
On January 1. 1929 this number had
Increased by 1,338, bringing up the
total to 2.086.
The following figures show the
yearly increase, as per January 1:
1920 . 748
1921 827
1922 . 883
1923 . 908
1924 .937
1925 1110
192G 1345
1927 .1700
1928 1900
1923 . 2080
“As the table shows, the growth
during the years from 1920 to 1925
was somewhat slow, although it w-as
steady. From 1925 to 1929 it is ac
celerated and the next ten years
should see an even more remark
able growth In Brownsville,” Hucker
said.

TO THE OWNERS OF AMERICA’S HOMES
FROM THE DESIGNERS OF AMERICA’S SKYLINE
A_... ***
The new Allcrton House in Chirago,
designed by Murgatroyd & Ogden,
noted New York architects. At riftht,
E. F. Murgatroyd, member of the hrm
of Murgatroyd & Ogden.
it has been thoroughly demon
strated that in the long run rust
proof home construction proves a
*
great economy.”- murgatroyd & ocden
*_
f pHF.RE are two important reasons why you should install
X Copper, Brass and Bronze materials when you build or buy.
First: Service! These rust-proof metals give unfailing, unvary
ing service. Once they are installed you need never give them
another thought.
Second: Economy! Although Copper, Brass and Bronze cost
somewhat more than rustable metals, they arc far cheaper in the
long run. They cannot rust. 1 heir use obviates repairs and re
placements. And they enhance the resale value of the house.
The leading architects of the country arc practical! v unanimous
in advising the use of rust-proof construction for all'buildings —
especially for modest priced homes. Murgatroyd & Ogden, for
instance, 6ay in the same letter from which the above quotation
was taken:
"The use of Copper. Brass and Bronze in bnildings todav
is getting more and more common and we feel that in
the near future they will entirely supplant the ferrous
metals wherever corrosion is to he contended with.”
Write our Building Service De
partment for additional informa
tion. There is no obligation.

Considering their life-long ser
vice and their absolute protection
against rust. Copper, Brass and
Bronze arc not expensive even
in the construction of small
homes.
