Giant’s Job For Building Industry After The War, Survey By Magazine Shown A home building market undreamed of in pre-war years is the common outlook of all surveys on things people are planning to buy in the first year of peace, according to Southern California Homes Foundation. The latest authoritative survey on this project is published in the December issue of Fortune, and it presents an even more striking promise for post war home construction than earlier 1943 polls, the Foundation says. The Fortune survey was on the simple put question, “What one or two things do you plan to buy as soon as times are peaceful again,” the Foundation states. The largest group of answers, 21 per cent of the total, was for automobiles. The second, representing 13.3 per cent of the American people, was for houses, while 5.3 per cent was for house repairs. Fortune reminds us that if 13.3 per cent of Americans should build in the first year of peace it would mean construction of 4,700,000 homes in the year, or about five times more than 1926, our greatest home building year in the past. In the same issue of Fortune, the Foundation points out, a joint study made by two national building industry organizations forecast expenditure of 8 billion dollars for new homes in the first postwar year, 12 billions in the second, and 18 billions in the third. The reality may fall considerably short such huge figures, and yet result in the greatest home building boom in our history, the Foundation concludes.

We all wish that we could share with our boys at war the joys of Christmas at home... But there is a gift...something, perhaps, you never thought of...that will help speed their return. That gift is simply this: using gas wisely to conserve fuel needed in the war effort: Probably never before has so little a thing meant so much. For the gas you save, multiplied by similar savings in over 1,000,000 other Southern California homes, can be a real help: to make Christmas next year happier for us all. When you save gas for heating—you conserve fuel needed to speed victory. So don't waste heat: turn off the gas before leaving for the day. Avoid over-heating. Shut the doors of unused rooms. Close outside doors. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY GAS IS VITAL WAR FUEL Use it wisely!
