March L- rhe real estate boom appear* to be inin? momentum,--in fact, it n pickin* up apeed for some tiiRe certaia sections. Therefore, a few es may well be remembered. In a Zural articU like thi$ I ekould net mment upon farm lande a$ location, ail and improvemente vary $o much ittk different propertUe. TO MAKE MONEY Perhaps the simplest and surest •y to make money in real estate is ( Mlect a BTOwinic, well-located city ith diversified industries and sur- ounded by good soil. Most mid- vstern cities, which are situated on navigable lake" or river, fulfill such Muirements. After selecting your city, ascertain ie 4)est residential street leading out •om the center of the city. Go out lat street in the right dirciftion tor few miles until you come to vacant .nd. Then stop and inquire the price. D long as the price is quoted ’per ^nt foot” or per '^square foot” go ong further until someone quotes DU a price “per acre.” Everjrthing se being equal, buy at this loca- on. iATOt YOUR STEP Although real estate pricei in many ictions have risen considerably, e is no sign—except in previously _ .inflatSU areas—of a turn down- ard. In fact, I foresee no general jcline for a few, years. On the other hand, one should buy luch more carefully now. For in- ance, a few years ago almost any roperty, ^relatively well located, mid be purchased for speculation ith reasonable certainty that tlm ansaction would TitUfn a profit, bw that is-no longer true. This is ell borne out by noting fhat the kte of transfers has slowed up. DCAL CONDITIONS (IPORTANT - 4 Certain areas will- experience fur- T drops in values where war con- acts are not being replaced by tacetime business. A . marked cessa- [>n of employment or redistribution industry and people in some sec- Dns could spell drastic IomI defla- un as reconversion is completed. Construction activity in other lo- dities will increase sharply as eon- acts are let for new plants. Mr. ystt will do everything possible to imulate new home building. The nstruction industry has always been le of the mainsprinprs of full em- oyment and prosperity. An admin- rstion searching so a^dly. for eco- mic health will continue to stimu- te the job-creating possibilities of -building boom. t TY VS. SUBURBAN LAND Residential house property—urban, Iburban and rural—staged the most lectacular price advance during the r. Office and factory property also Dved up, but not to the same da ce. City retail store space and land titable for subdividon in suburban eas advanced the least. However, •w that peace has come, retail store ece is very much in demand and ibdivision operations are pushing > outlying land values. On the basis of the economic proa- icts for different sections of the untry, I feel that the best aieas II be in the Southeast, Far, Wert td Southwest. Prosi>ects appear onlg ir in the Middle East, Central ates and Northwest. The least fav- sble section from the standpoint future prospects is the New Eng- nd area. ONSIDBR LABOR CONDITIONS Factory rehabilitation will be ex- nsive but relatively fewdnew fae ry units wiH be needed. The general itlook for retail property is favor- >le because of-the expected further )swing in consumer goods. Subur- m land for subdivision will continue rise in value. Although there is much talk about >ortagea of skilled labor, untrained tterans are daily swelling the ranks the unemployed. This is destined act as a blunting factor on the anand for real estate. In the last ulysis, real estate prices fluctuate payrolls, profits, commodity tees and the stock market. Gener- iy, they should w^ higlier^-lKik it a good market in whienxo sell obso- U houses. rive Carefully—-Saw* a Ufm Canning Sugar Stamp Was YaUd (hiMonday,Mar. 11 <^eetive last Monday, March 11, spnw stamp No. 9 in the war^tion book was valid for fivi pounds of sugar.

It add^ that the value of the second stamp (^not, be fixed now but was not likely to be -good for more than five pounds.
