I vri I The Low Bid is Not Always the Best Bid In an Eastern City recently, where a public work was to be performed, competitive bid were received. The highest was $116,764, the lowest was $75,404 a big difference but nothing to be compared to another piece of work on which the high bid was $633,690 and the lowest $270,290, a difference of nearly $400,000.

In neither of the above cases could the work have been successfully carried out by the low bidder at the figure he named. There are In practice today two kinds of competition one Is of benefit to all concerned; the other is Just opposite. "Price competition," ss carried on by the unscrupulous Is the antagonism, strife and war of business. Under the competitive system In force In years gone by, the contractor, who got the job on the strength of the low bid, stood an excellent chance to lose everything he had If he had anything to lose- otherwise, tho building owner paid more for bis building than the bid originally called for. It is true tbst no man wsnt to pay more for a building than the building Is worth but neither does be want to pay for a building that Is faulty In construction.

The only kind of competition that Is worthy of a prospective building-owner's consideration Is that form, of competition under which men or Institutions of, financial responsibility and Integrity strive to furnish the very best of service at the lowest possible price quality considered. We have built up an org-anization which welcomes this form of competition. The bid this company submits to a building customer fixes the lowest figure at which we can handle his building, and handle it as it should be handled. Our figure includes the complete work of designing and erecting a building; instead of only a part of the work, as is ordinarily the case. We, as a financially responsible business institution, guarantee the satisfactory performance of our contract.

The price we name at the time of signing a contract is the price you can figure on paying. We are equipped to handle the complete work of designing and erecting: Store Buildings. Bank Buildings. Apartment Buildings. Hotel Buildings.
