Sighed Beryl, who is a fresh, friendly but slightly reserved girl offstage: "I do hope they like me; I don't want...
...months of 1947 totaled $5,356,000,000, a whopping 40.1% more in dollar volume than in the same period last year. Increases were even bigger in private residential building (63.2%) and public residential building (75.6%). The Department failed to note that 1) increases in volume were chiefly due to an increase of about 25% in prices, and 2) unitwise, residential building was still 25% below expectations...
