WINTERTIME

concensus of wintertime construc- tion owners and designers in even the toughest areas of this 'tougb country', -

"Every man directly concerned in construction--project owner, architect and engineer, general and trade contractor. material and equipment supplier. and all and each of their employees in field. plant or office--is hurtuby the springtime crowding of con- struction starts. Every man in that group owes ii. to himself and, to the construction industry toi help 'sell' and push the idea of wintertime construction.

"Everyone - even Canadians generally-is hurt by the spring- time crowding of construction starts.

''In the Canada of today. this is an unrealistic, largely emotion- al .aad,,.mainLV--indefensible fol- lowing of outworn tradition. It is without justification in the new annals of Canadian construction performance against weather dif- ficulties.

NEW COMMITTEE

"A co-ordlnaled campaign to increase further the volume of wintertime construction- and of wintertime construction employ- rncnt-was put into motion last October when a joint committee was set up representing leading national organization of employ- ers. labour unions and the archi- tectural and engineering. profes- sions.

”Sponsored by the Canadian Construction Association. the Joint committee also represents the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian It Catholic Confed- oration of Labour, Canadian Man- ufacturers' Association, The En- gineering institute of Canada; National House Builders' Associa- tion. The Royal Architectural In- stltute of Canada, and the Trades at Labour Congress of Canada. The Federal Department of La- bour and National Research Coun- cil are also actively associated with the project.

"As chairman of this new com- mittoc. it is my hope that our main task will prove fairly easy in iulillmenl. That main task is to overcome the outmoded no- tions, still held by many in busi- ness and industry management. that construction work carried out in wintertime is Inferior in quality or excessive in cost. "Such views do not take into account the modern techniques which. with few exceptions, per- rnlt construction work to be car- ried out efficiently and economic- ally in winter weather in most parts of Canada.

OWNER IS 3088 ,

"The timing of construction Jobs depends mainly on the ad- vance ncclsions of owners. and

N. on the advice and advance action

of the architects and engineers they engage. g

"Last fall's tetleral cabinet di- rcctive to all lederal departments. and agencies to plan maximum' wintertime on-site operation iai commendable policy and already” being implemented for this win- ter. our committee -immediately o.-.an advocating similar policy in approaches-Io far very en- couraging-to other government; bodies. banks. religious organise-, tlons. utilities and large industrial. firms.

A move is under way to have the National Retail Dry Goods Assoc-. lation of the United States plan the' installment merchandising of fur garments in combination with other apprel. A combination of the com- plete fur ensemble and the credit selling approach, it is fcli. could well pry loose the 6 liars from the nation's consumers. and could build volume for retail stores. Ad- vocatcs of the ensemble .cdit the- ory believe that progressive retail- ers could reap a windfall by tak- inil a promotional step built on two trends likely to gain momentum in 1956 and the years ahead. The s '-.-s is coming slowly, some feel. What it needs is a push by leading retailers. Most appealing to some observers is tltc idea of extruding consumer credit on a coordinated apparel package.

FURS O NCREDIT ..

Most retailers at present are w tiling to apply instalment merchandising to big ticket items. And furs are probably the major apparel merclrnndise sold on cur- rent credit plans. The vast bulk of apparel is not sold under extended payment plans other than charge accounts. By focusing attention on easy-payment plans for coordinat- ed apparel packages. i is believed the consumer's desire i buy more freely may be stimulated. The or- iglanllty of the package approavh itself is such as to attract wide spread consumer attention, it is felt.

Al the l)ominion Fur Auction held in Winnipeg last week the lo0.t)00 tnuskrnts were Iii per cent sold. XI. and L winters went from OL30 to tl.40. Beaver was 99 per cent sold with Northern Manitoba's XXL's bringing 832 to 333. All of the 3.50) wild mink was sold. North- ern Manitoba's Isis No. 2': males 13 to 858, females.
