BABSON DISCUSSES BUILDING
OUTLOOK FOR COMING YEAR
By ROGER BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., Jan 2.—Most
people are bearish on the building
outlook for |952. Naturally, fewer
houses will be built; but it would be
a great mistake to think that the de
demand for new
houses is ovir. The
demand for houses,
although less, will
continue heavy in
1952. Those who
need a new home
to live in should
b/uild or buy when
ever the right loca
tion is available at
the right price.
B«ftr W. Babssa Letters come to
me from cities in the Central West,
stating that good citizens, employing
many people, are forced tO; move
away because of lack of housing. If
these communities have truly patri
otic citizens, they will get together
and start a campaign to get new
houses built.
Reasons for Demand
It is' true that the price of new
houses has gone up considerably
during the past few years; but have
they gone up in price more than al
most everything else? It is unrea
sonable for wageworkers, manufac-u p ro< i uc t from stump to the carpen
■turers and even shopkeepers to corn-
try, if there is any such thing in ex-|T rn ff: r
istence. |T1| |J- ^ ei,rn

Chicago, Jan. 1. — The nation’s
1951 traffic’ death toll will be the
highest in ten years, the National
Safety council said today.
The council said it expects fatali
ties this year to add up to approxi
mately 37,500.
That would be the'fourth highest
time, ~However^ one oT the"favorite I tota !, of 4 llv ^ T 1 T 08 | ' n c mo 4 tor u vehicle

’It would be exceeded only by
1941 with 39,969 deaths, 1937 with
much more than an ordinary house.
Hence, there will continue to be_a^
demand for lumber. That is why this’
column recently recommended the
purchase of standing woodland as
one of thg best Idng-term invest
ments. AtT the Imuber stocks have
gone up so TOuch in price that I hesi

costs when they are getting similar
increases for labor, agricultural pro
ducts, manufactured goods and mer
chandise. Of course, l?uildin$ will
fall pff; but when that time comes,
and prices are lower, most people
won’t have the money to take ad
vantage of the bargains!
Also remember that our popula
tion is rapidly increasing. There are
around 155,000,000 people in the U.
S. today with a total annual income
0* $275 billions, compared with 125,-
000,000 population and $60 -billions
rational income only twenty years
ago. We also must\ realize that a
well-built and well-lOcated house is
one of the best hedges against infla-
tion, c<yrtinuing to hold its own, or
inc?S5Se, as the dollar declines in
value. For those who own a good
home and do not care to build anoth
er for rental, here is a suggestion
for use of your money.
Consider Bxlldlng Stocks
Seventy-five per cent of the cost
of materials in a home is spent on
four things: (1) Cement, (2) lumber
and shingles; (3) wall board and
plaster, and (4) paint. By buying
stocks in one of .the leading com
panies manufacturing these tour ba
sic products, it is possible to profit
with the building industry. When
the next depression comes, the price
of these stocks will go down with
everything else; but they should
come back again in price quickly.
The fallowing suggests four such
companies:
Cement: A Cement company which
I like is the Lehigh Portland. It has
raw material to last for many years
14 is located in growing sections of
and yields about 4%r— I is ^ second consecutive
W3U Boarded JW -nw U. S. ^
and the allied products. It owns great' 3 onl y conclusion—
natural resources; it has manufac
turing plants in all parts of the
country; and its products- are unex
celled. The .common stock sells at
$107 and yields nearly 7%; but for 1
every ten shares of common stock,
there are about $375" in government
streets and highways are getting
steadily more dangerous.
“So during a high hazard period,
such as the New Year’s holiday, the
only way to insure safety is to
drive soberly and extra cautious
ly.”
November fatalities numbered 3,-
m"i' S treasun '- "*!«<>. * s-en per c,n, .nc^a* over
management is superb
Paint: There are many good paint
companies, but as an illustration, I
mention Sherwin-Williams. The
stock sells for $67 and yields 5%.
Painting is one of the first things
that people economize on when hard
thnes come; but this may not apply
to the large number of single story
houses built in recent years which
need repainting soon and can be
done by the Owners.
As a final reason for being reason
ably optimistic on building, let me
mention the very liberal mortgage
terms of today. When I built a house
thirty years ago, I was obliged to pay
6% interest and got a mortgage for
only three years. Today you can bor
row money at 4Vi% and have twenty
years to pay it back.

The flfst thing that one must buy
when building a house is cement,' but
cement has many other uses. When
a depression comes and the building
of homes declines, the federal gov

road-building projects, and all these
will require cement. Therefore, the
cement industry to that extent may
be called a depression-proof indus-
