1925  a  Banner  Year  for  San  Francisco 


Chamber  Suney  Reveals 
Bay  Area  Prospered 

Industrial  activity,  port  tonnage 
movements,  bank  clearings  and 
building  growth  are  positive  indexes 
of  a  city's  progress  or  retrogression. 
Preliminary  departmental  figures 
compileti  by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce show  conclusively  that  San 
Francisco  progressed  steadily  and 
consistently  tluring  the  year  just 
ended. 

There  are  4,818  industrial  estab- 
Ushments  in  San  Francisco,  accord- 
ing to  approximate  figures  arrived 
at  by  L.  C.  Willems,  director  of  the 
Chamber's  information  department. 
This  is  an  increase  of  600  establish- 
ments over  1924.  These  industrial 
units  in  19'24  employed  66,304 
persons.  Last  year  this  number  had 
been  increa.sed  to  7.5.735.  The  pay- 
roll for  these  emplovees  last  year 
amounted  to  $93,967,334  as  com- 
pared with  $82,'265,330  for  1924, 
while  the  capital  investment  has  in- 
creased from  $292,500,000  to  $334,- 
107,500. 

B.4NK  CLE.ililNGS 

Bank  clearings,  always  a  positive 
barometer  of  a  city's  industrial  and 
commercial  expansion,  amounted  to 
the  impre.ssive  total  of  89,481,311,- 
406,  putting  San  Francisco  in  the 
forefront  among  the  Pacific  Coast 
cities.  The  clearings  for  1924  sum- 
med up  to  S8,365,700,000. 

According  to  figures  compiled  by 
the  Marine  Department  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  6,655  vessels 
with  a  total  tonnage  of  15,313,025 
arrived  here  during  the  year,  and 
6,726  vessels  with  a  total  tonnage 
of  15,131,070  cleared  this  port.  The 
tonnage  credited  to  ships  arriving 


A  SHELF  OF  BOOKS 

By 
C.  E.  T.iYLOR,  Membership  Director 

A  man  once  subscribed  for  a  set  of  books  which,  the  publishers 
told  him,  contained  the  combined  knowledge  and  wit  of  centuries. 
When  they  arrived,  he  unpacked  them — placed  them  neatly  on  the 
shelf,  and  forgot  aliout  them,  except  when  the  installments  came 
due. 

One  day,  an  acquaintance  examining  the  set  inquired  regard- 
ing their  merit;  whereupon  the  man  who  was  subscribing  for  the 
books  exclaimed,  "Thej''ve  never  done  anything  for  me — what 
good,  are  they?" 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  organized  to 
serve  you  and  to  serve  San  Francisco.  It  is  daily  compiling  in- 
formation, turning  out  leads  for  business,  acting  as  a  clearing  house 
for  trade.  Do  you  really  know  what  a  treasury  of  service  we  have 
here  for  you?  In  short,  are  you  using  this  powerful  allj-  in  your 
business?   Don't  buy  a  set  of  books  and  put  them  on  the  shelf. 

Now,  just  a  word  about  this  little  coupon.  Of  course,  you 
liclong  yourself,  but  perhaps  your  neighbor  does  not.  Ask  him  to 
sign  this  coupon  and  mail  it  in. 

Membership  Department, 

San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

Consider  this  my  application  for  membership  in  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce.  I  consider  it  an  organization  of  value  to 
me  in  my  business  and  of  vital  importance  to  San  Francisco.

Kearny  112.  SubscriptioD,  %i  %  year.  Entered  aa 
aecond-ctaaa  matter  July  2, 1 920,  at  the  Poetofliee,  San 
Fraocisco,  California,  under  the  act  of  March  3, 1 879. 


High  Court  Ruling  Concerns 
All  Shippers 

The  Argentine  Court  of  Appeals 
has  recently  handed  down  a  sweep- 
ing decision  of  extreme  importance 
to  everyone  interested  in  shipping, 
according  to  adNnces  received  l)y  the 
Foreign  antl  Domestic  Trade  De- 
partment. Several  well-known 
clauses  in  bills  of  latling  are  de- 
clared to  be  null  and  void  so  far  as 
they  affect  shipments  to  Argentina. 

The  clau.se  stipulating  non-liabil- 
ity of  the  carrier  is  declared  illegal 
because  the  shipper  is  in  an  inferior 
position  when  forced  to  sign  the  con- 
tract and  such  clauses  must  be  taken 
as  not  written.  Also  the  original 
carrier  under  the  bill  of  lading  is 
held  responsible  for  the  merchandise 
until  it  is  delivered  at  destination 
even  when  the  original  ship  does  not 
come  to  an  Argentine  port  and  the 
damage  occurs  on  another  vessel  to 
which  the  merchandise  has  been 
transshipped. 

Must  Be  Tried 

It  is  held  also  that  suits  arising 
from  freight  contracts  to  Argentine 
ports  must  be  tried  in  Argentine 
courts  regardless  of  any  stipulation 
to  the  contrarj'  in  the  bill  of  lading. 

The  case  arose  over  damage  to  a 
shipment  of  1,150  cases  of  mineral 
oil  from  New  York  at  Buenos  Aires 
in  1920.  Due  to  labor  troubles  at 
Buenos  Aires  the  original  carrier 
put  in  at  Montevideo,  whence  the 
cargo  was  transshipped  to  Buenos 
Aires.  Despite  the  fact  that  the 
damage  occurred  by  negligence  of 
the  second  carrier,  the  consignee  has 
a  right  of  action  against  the  original 
carrier.  The  original  carrier,  of 
course,  has  a  right  to  an  action 
against  his  agent,  the  second  carrier. 

The  consignee  sued  in  the  Argen- 
tine courts  and  in  1924  obtained 
judgment.  The  carrier  appealed,  but 
the  decision  of  the  lower  court  was 
sustained.  The  Federal  Chamber  of 
Appeals,  which  has  handed  down 
this  decision,  is  the  court  of  last 
resort  on  questions  of  fact,  and  the 
case  could  be  appealed  to  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  Argentina  only  on 
question  of  law.

New  Parcel  Post  Cooveotion  with  Cuba  Extends

According  to  advices  received  from  the  local

<Bj  A.  McKIE  DONNAN 

Illu:Mi,on  ky  BENJAMIN  FRANKLIN 


MR.  GEORGE  J.  BROWN, 
average  citizen  of  one  of  our 
average  mid-western  cities, 
has  just  finished  giving  the  furnace 
an  extra  jab  in  the  ribs.  Dinner  is 
over;  Mrs.  B.  is  clearing  away  the 
dishes  and  directing  the  ablutionary 
efforts  of  her  high-school  daughter 
at  the  dishpan.  George  J.,  Jr.,  has 
gone  out  to  keep  a  "date"  and  the 
youngsters  are  already  in  bed.  Com- 
parative quiet  reigns  and  George  .1. 
sighs  heartily  as  he  resigns  his 
slightly  corpulent  frame  to  the  wel- 
coming arms  of  his  favorite  fireside 
chair,  lights  his  evening  pipe  and 
starts  to  enjoy  the  latest  copy  of 
America's  greatest  literary  bargain. 
It  is  Thursday  evening. 

Like  many  a  magazine  reader 
nowadays,  George  J.  starts  at  the 
back  and  goes  forward.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  he  rather  prides  himself  upon 
his  interest  in  current  advertising. 
Somewhat  of  an  advertising  man 
himself,  he  would  remind  you 
modestly  if  the  subject  should  come 
up  in  some  conversation  you  might 
be  having  with  him.  Only  in  a  small 
way,  of  course:  classified  advertise- 
ments in  the  local  paper.  But  he 
"likes  to  keep  up  with  what  the 
bigger  fellows  are  doing" — even 
those  who  spread  themselves  nation- 
ally. 

The  back  cover  strikes  his  eye. 
It  is  in  colors.  Raisins!  Yes — and 
more.  The  place  where  raisins  grow- 
best  is  modestly  mentioned  (in  about 


96  point  type — which,  as  everyone 
knows,  is  more  than  an  inch  high). 
In  fact,  the  advertisement,  peculiarly 
enough,  makes  considerable  of  a 
point  of  where  the  raisins  grow  best. 
It's  that  place  where  Aunt  Emma 
went  last  winter,  you  know,  when 
she  thought  she  was  getting  too  old 
for  Eastern  blizzards.  Sure  enough, 
you've   guessed   it — California. 

The  Idea  Germinates 

George  J.  puffs  heartily  upon  his 
pipe  and  turns  several  pages  idly, 
his  mind  apparently  wandering 
somewhat  from  the  masses  of  typog- 
raphy which  he  is  flipping  over  with 
his  finger.  California!  It  must  be 
considerable  of  a  country,  at  that. 
Like  to  take  a  run  out  there  himself 
some  day  and  see  the  country  first 
hand.  Will  have  to  do  it,  too,  just 
as  soon  as  Sis  graduates  from  "High" 
and  the  old  business  is  running  just 
a  little  smoother.  Any  place  that 
could  turn  out  such  confoundedly 
fine  raisins  certainly  must  be  an 
interesting  place  to  visit.  Might 
even  be  a  good  place  to  live.  People 
must  live  there  to  take  care  of  the 
raisins.  Ho,  hum,  he'd  find  out  for 
himself  some  one  of  these  fine  days. 
[Ehp-flip-flip.] 

Well,  well,  what's  this?  Dogone 
me,  if  it  isn't  another  California  ad- 
vertisement. By  gollies,  those  people 
certainly  must  think  they  live  in  the 
only    place    on   earth!     Half   their 


advertisements  seem  to  be  taken  up 
with  the  fact  that  the  product  ad- 
vertised came  from  the  consarned 
state.  As  though  that  made  any 
difference!  Why,  right  here  in — 
well,  of  course,  we  don't  grow  prunes. 
But  then  I  don't  know  why  we 
couldn't!  Let's  see — "under  the 
glorious  California  sun  where  prunes 
develop  as  they  can  nowhere  else." 
Well,  maybe  that's  right.  Prunes 
would  need  a  lot  of  sun,  probably. 
Yes,  they'd  hare  to  have  it.  What 
was  it  Aunt  Emma  had  said  about 
that — that — "Say,  Mother,  what 
was  the  name  of  that  Blossom  thing 
Aunt  Emma  told  us  about  out  in 
California  that  they  have  every 
year'?" — 

California  oranges !  California 
prunes!  California  lemons!  Cali- 
fornia canned  fruits  and  vegetables! 
California  walnuts !  California  Bart- 
lett  pears!  Heavens  preserve  us — 
even  California  sports  hats! 

All  a  part  of  California's  p^-ral 
$10,000,000  annual  advertising  cam- 
paign, the  greatest  natural  co- 
operative advertising  effort  the 
world  has  ever  known. 

Other  cities  besides  those  of  Cali- 
fornia advertise.  But  they  "go  it 
alone."  Other  products  are  adver- 
tised besides  those  grown  or  manu- 
factured in  California.  But,  they 
are  advertised  on  their  sheer  merits 
and  with  little  or  no  "local  color"  to 
bolster  up  their  sales  arguments  or

OX)')  of  the  most  important  rail- 
road flevelopinents  in  recent 
years  is  the  construction  by 
the  Union  Pacific  System  of  a  line 
from  Roperson,  Idaho,  to  Wells, 
Nevada,  now  rapidly  nearing  com- 
pletion. 

This  new  railroad  traverses  a 
hitherto  undeveloped  section  of 
Nevada,  passing  through  the  mining 
camp  of  Contact  and  not  only  pro- 
viding transportation  for  the  ore 
and  concentrates  that  are  expected 
to  come  from  that  field,  Vjut  furnish- 
ing also  an  outlet  from  nearby  sta- 
tions by  rail  for  livestock  that  for 
years  it  has  been  necessary  to  trail 
either  to  Wells  or  to  Kogerson. 
Some  agricultural  development  will 
doubtless  also  occur  in  the  tributary 
territory. 

The  new  line,  through  a  branch 
line  from  Rogerson  to  the  city  of 
Twin  Falls,  will  also  .serve,  as  far  as 
California  business  is  concerned,  the 
rich  anil  famous  Twin  Falls  section 
of  Idaho.  Here  is  an  irrigation 
project  that  has  just  passed  the 
twentieth  year  of  its  existence.  Less 
than  two  decades  ago  it  was  all 
sage  brush,  entirely  unproductive 
except  as  it  furnished  a  winter  range 
for  sheep.  In  the  comparatively 
short  time  that  has  passed  since  the 
water  was  turned  on  the  land  a 
miracle  of  achievement  has  been 
wrought. 

Today  the  Twin  Falls  section 
looks  much  hke  the  great  farming 
territory  of  the  middle  west.  There 
are  progressive  villages,  towns  and 
cities  ranging  in  population  up  to 
8,500;  there  are  miles  of  paved  roads 
connecting  them;  there  are  trees  of 
every  kind  and  farms  that  produce 
abundantly  of  crops  that  California 
needs  and  will  use. 

What  is  known  as  the  Twin  Falls 


.south-side  project  contains  21(3,000 
acres  of  land,  practically  all  of  which 
is  under  intensive  cultivation  with 
a  never-failing  supply  of  irrigation 
water. 

In  addition,  there  arc  tw-o  other 


Tfu  new  line  described  in  the  accom- 
panying article  extends  from  Rogenon, 
Idaho,  to  tVellj,  Nevada,  a  distance  of 
ninety-eight  miles,  connecting  with  both 
the  Southern  Pacific  and  Western 
Pacific  lines  at  ITells. 

This  line,  which  will  be  in  operation 
early  in  February,  will  shorten  the  dis- 
tance between  San  Francisco  and  points 
in  Southern  Idaho,  Twin  Falls  being 
a  representative  point,  by  about  ^3^ 
miles.  This  traffic  is  at  present  moving 
either  via  Ogden,  Utah,  or  Portland, 
Oregon.  This  will  place  San  Francisco 
on  a  parity  with  Portland,  mileage  con- 
sideifd,  in  the  Southern  Idiho  territory, 
and  will  undoubtedly  open  up  a  new 
market  for  California  products,  also 
making  available  a  producing  market  of 
livestock  and  agricultural  products. 

This  will  also  make  San  Francisco 
available  as  a  port  of  export  for  the 
products  of  Southern  Idaho. 


important  irrigation  enterprises  that 
will  be  served  l)y  the  new  line.  These 
are  the  Twin  Falls  north  side,  con- 
taining IM.OOO  acres,  and  the  Mini- 
doka project,  comprising  140,000 
acres.  The  fertility  of  the  land  on 
both  these  projects  has  been 
thoroughly  demonstrated,  and  while 
they  have  not  attained  the  high 
development  found  on  the  Twin 
Falls  south-side  tract  it  is  only  be- 
cause they  were  not  completed  until 
some  years  later.  Here,  too,  pros- 
perous cities  have  grown  up  and  an 
alert,  progressive  rural  population. 
The  irrigated  acres  of  Idaho  may 
well  be  regarded  as  the  bread  basket 
for  California's  fast-growing  cities. 
The  Idaho  climatic  and  soil  condi- 
tions are  such  that  they  produce  in 


great  al)un(lanfe  crops  that  Califor- 
nia with  its  higher-priced  land  and 
its  greater  manufacturing  and  indus- 
trial activity  cannot  afford  to  raise. 

Already  a  hea\'y  consumer  of 
Idaho  products,  it  is  thought  that 
the  opening  of  the  new  railroad  will 
bring  about  a  far  greater  demand. 
The  Idaho  potato,  which  has 
achieved  nation-wide  fame  during 
the  last  few  years,  is  one  of  the  crops 
that  have  found  ready  sale  in  Cali- 
fornia. There  is  something  in  the 
soil  of  Idaho  that  brings  the  once 
lowly  but  now  lordly  spud  to  a 
standard  that  very  nearly  approaches 
perfection.  These  potatoes  grown 
in  the  Twin  Falls  and  other  sections 
of  the  state  arc  so  superior  in  quality 
that  they  readilj'  command  a  higher 
price  than  those  from  any  other 
state.  It  is  on  this  quality  that 
Idaho  has  built  its  reputation.  Idaho 
produces  and  markets  an  average  of 
12,000,000  bu.shels  of  potatoes  an- 
nually and  is  excelled  in  yield  per 
acre  only  by  the  states  of  Maine, 
Vermont  and  New  Hampshire. 

Another  Idaho  product  that  is 
finding  an  increasing  market  in 
California  comes  from  the  orchards, 
from  which  nearly  7,000  cars  of 
apples  were  harvested  this  year.  All 
kinds  of  apples  do  well  in  Idaho,  but 
the  standard  varieties  such  as  the 
.lonathan,  Delicious,  Winesap, 
Spitzenberg  and  Roman  Beauty 
seem  to  more  nearly  approach  the 
required  degree  of  excellence  in 
flavor,  texture  and  color.  This  is 
due  in  part  to  the  long,  sunshiny 
days  of  the  Indian  summer  that 
comes  when  the  fruit  is  ripening  on 
the  trees. 

In  recent  years,  due  in  large 
degree  to  the  activity  of  the  Union 
Pacific   System    in    promoting   the

SA\  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS.  JANUARY  13,  192(i 


Colors  -Dorn  of 
Ounshine 


miMimAM 


<By  C.  E.  KUNZE 


FOR  the  year  1925  the  gross  sales 
of  the  Simon  MiUinery  Co., 
makers  of  the  famous  Meadow- 
brook  Sports  Hat,  are  well  over  the 
million-dollar  mark.  And  that,  let 
it  be  candidl}'  set  down,  is  some- 
thing also  for  Californians  to  think 
about. 

The  Meadowbrook  hat  is  a  San 
Francisco  product.  Here  was  its 
birthplace,  and  here  is  the  plant  in 
the  I\Ieadowbrook  Building  on  Mar- 
ket near  Si.xth  street.  All  the  work- 
ers— builders,  creators,  artists,  call 
them  what  you  will — who  make  this 
dainty  article  of  dress  are  San 
Francisco  men  and  women.  And 
when  next  you  see  that  alluring 
phrase.  Colors  Born  of  Sunshine, 
which  has  helped  to  carry  the  name 
and  fame  of  Meadowbrook  around 
the  world,  don't  overlook  the  im- 
portant point  that  the  sunshine  in 
this  product  is  San  Francisco  sun- 
shine. 

AND  sunshine  is  a  very  palpaljle 
element  in  the  success  of  the 
Meadowbrook  hat,  make  no  mis- 
take about  that.  Sunshine  is  the 
true  mother  of  color,  and  without 
color  there  could  be,  perhaps,  a 
sports  hat  industrj',  but  it  wouldn't 
be  what  Meadowbrook  has  made  it. 
Colors  and  Meadowbrook  go  to- 
gether, and  colors  and  sunshine  go 
together.  Thus,  literally,  Cahfornia 
sunshine  has  poured  itself  into  a 
widely  used  and  widely  sought  com- 
mercial product  to  the  very  practical 
end  of  helping  to  build  up  a  million- 
dollar  industry,  and  to  throw,  if  one 
may  use  so  colorful  a  metaphor,  the 
Meadowbrook  spectrum  across  the 
continent  from  coast  to  coast. 

But  whatever  San  Francisco  and 
the  genial  climate  of  California  may 
have  contributed  to  the  success  of 
the  Meadowbrook  hat,  the  balance 
sheet  is  more  than  even.  For  the 
Meadowbrook  has  made  San  Fran- 
cisco the  style  center  for  sports  hats. 


Here  is  something  that  many 
people  from  time  to  time  have  talked 
about,  and  dreamed  about — the  ac- 
ceptance of  San  Francisco  as  a  style 
center  in  articles  of  women's  apparel. 
The  ready  wealth  that  has  ever  been 
a  community  characteristic,  the 
taste  and  pleasure  people  have  here 
for  fine  clothes,  its  cosmopolitanism, 
its  Bohemianism,  its  touch  of 
Orientalism  and  its  outlook  upon  the 
great  Pacific — all  these  have  con- 
tributed to  the  thought  and  hope,  so 
frequently  expressed,  that  here  is  a 
city  which  should  be  an  arbiter  in 
the  world  of  fine  clothes,  a  dictator 
in  fashions,  a  world  center  in 
women's  styles.  And  now  that  dis- 
tinction has  actually  come  to  it 
through  the  work  and  persistent 
efforts  of  two  young  men.  the  Simon 
brothers,  Irwin  B.  and  Gerald  H., 
who  came  here  some  fifteen  years 
ago  mere  novices  even  in  their  own 
line,  the  merchandising  of  millinery 
supply  goods. 

It  was  notthedream, however,  that 
brought  them  here  from  their  home 
in  Salt  Lake  City.  That  dream  came 
later.  It  followed  in  the  wake  of 
what  was  the  beginning  of  the  whole 
Meadowbrook  creation,  the  notion 
that  in  the  millinery  trade  there  was 
room  for  a  type  of  hat  specially 
adapted  for  outdoor  sports,  golfing, 
motoring,  boating,  yet  a  hat  which 
would  look  well  indoors,  too,  in  the 
clubhouse,  on  the  verandas,  at  a 
garden  party,  or  what  not. 

THE  original  thought  of  the 
sports  hat,  as  it  came  to  be 
called,  is  credited  in  the  Meadow- 
brook establishment  to  Gerald 
Simon,  the  younger  of  the  brothers. 
It  came  to  him  while  he  traveled 
about  the  state  as  a  salesman.  The 
firm  was  then  located  in  a  loft  on 
Market  street  near  the  Emporium. 
The  more  Gerald  Sunon  thought 
about  the  sports-hat  idea,  the  more 


convinced  he  became  that  such  a  hat 
would  be  popular  and  would  sell. 
But  there  was  no  such  hat  in  the 
market.  This  was  not  an  insuper- 
able difficulty.  He  set  about  to  have 
a  small  line  of  sport  hats  made,  and 
the  Emporiiun,  right  next  door  to 
the  Simon  Millinery  Supply  Co.,  was 
one  of  the  fir.st  stores  to  offer  that 
line  for  sale  to  the  general  public. 

As  Gerald  Simon  had  predicted, 
the  line  was  popular,  and  thus  was 
born  the  Meadowbrook  sports  hat, 
and  thus  was  started  the  Meadow- 
brook plant,  now  the  largest  for  the 
exclusive  manufacture  of  women's 
sports  hats  in  the  world. 

Not  only  that,  the  Meadowbrook 
plant  is  today  the  largest  buyer  in 
the  world  of  shapes,  or  hat  bodies  as 
they  are  called. 

These  bodies  are  made  of  felt, 
velour,  and  various  kinds  of  straw  or 
reed  braids.  Hat  bodies  are  aU  im- 
ported, Italy,  France,  the  South  Sea 
islands,  Japan,  the  Philippines, 
China  and  Central  America  being 
the  chief  producers. 

MEADOWBROOK  combs  the 
whole  world  for  its  shapes  or 
hat  bodies.  Each  country  special- 
izes in  its  own  particular  type. 
From  France  come  chiefly  the  fine 
felts  and  velours.  Italy  contributes 
the  lacy  Florentine  shapes,  the 
beautiful  Venetians  with  the  wide 
brims  and  open  weave. 

From  the  South  Sea  islands  and 
the  Orient  come  the  close-woven 
bodies,  some  of  them  as  soft  as 
Panamas,  identified  by  the  hat 
makers  by  such  alluring  names  as 
Shantungs,  Bankoks,  and  the  Balli- 
buntals,  which  come  from  Italy. 

It  is  from  Italy,  too,  that  the 
plaques  come,  mere  discs  of  woven 
straw  or  reeds,  which  look  for  all  the

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINKSS,  JANUARY  13,  1>)26 


Work  of  the  Better  business  Bureau 


Tl  1 10  Better  Business  Bureau  of 
the  San  Francisco  Advertising 
Club  is  one  of  forty-three  simi- 
lar Bureaus  in  the  United  States. 
Headquarters  are  in  New  York  City. 

Daily  exchanges  of  information 
occur  by  letter  and  telegraph  just  as 
among  branches  of  a  great  mercan- 
tile concern. 

The  Better  Busine-ss  Bureau  move- 
ment i.s  fourteen  years  old  in  the 
United  States  and  has  now  reached 
England  and  the  Continent. 

The  San  Francisco  Bureau  is 
twelve  years  old. 

Many  business  men  have  sought 
reasons  for  the  sponsorship  of  Better 
Business  Bureaus  by  advertising 
clubs. 

Increasing  the  belie vability  of  ad- 
vertising, through  promotion  of 
truth  in  adverti.sing  of  all  kinds,  was 
one  of  the  original  ol)jects  of  the 
Bureau  movement,  and  remains  to- 
day a  fundamental. 

For  this  reason,  plus  the  fact  that 
the  Better  Business  Bureau  idea  was 
born  of  organized  advertising,  the 
clubs  have  been  the  logical  sponsors. 
Advertising  clubs,  being  composed  of 
buyers,  writers  and  sellers  of  adver- 
tising, were  the  first  to  hear  the 
gospel  of  truth  in  advertising  and 
the  members  were  in  a  position  to 
and  did  give  the  first  great  impetus 
to  this  phase  of  responsibility  to  the 
public. 

Business  Insurance 

The  expansion  of  the  Bureau  work 
was  a  natural  one  in  view  of  the 
great  strides  made  in  advertising 
and  sales  promotion. 

Protection  of  the  immense  invest- 
ments in  advertising  and  marketing 
plans  called  for  forms  of  business  in- 
surance of  which  Better  Business 
Bureaus  were  quick  to  see  the  need. 

By  nation-wide  contacts,  by  means 
of  a  central  clearing  house,  through 
the  instrumentality  of  national  and 
regional  conventions,  by  traveling 
speakers,  the  word  was  passed, 
agreements  were  reached,  principles 
were  established,  enlarged  Bureau 
activities  were  outlined,  and  today 
the  Better  Business  Bureau  move- 
ment has  become  on  one  hand  an 
active  partner  in  the  conduct  and 
protection  of  legitimate  business,  an 
interpreter  of  busine.ss  to  the  buying 
pubhc,  and  on  the  other  hand  a  foe 
to  all  confidence-destroying  agencies 
which  prey  or  attempt  to  prey  upon 
the  unsophisticated. 


%  FRED  H.  MANTOR 

Manager  Better  Business  Bureau,  San 
Francisco  Advertising  Club 

While  education  is  the  prime  factor 
in  Bureau  work,  it  has  been  necessary 
to  originate  and  to  have  placed  upon 
the  statute  books  forms  of  legislation 
which  have  put  teeth  in  Bureau 
activities  when  other  corrective 
measures  have  failed  to  meet  re- 
quirements. 

Although  the  fundamentals  of 
Bureau  work  are  national  and  even 
international,  it  has  been  recognized 
that  regional  conditions  could  not  be 
met  unless  freedom  of  action  was 
given  local  Bureaus  in  the  develop- 
ment of  superstructures  of  service  to 
fit  local  conditions. 

The  San  Francisco  Plan 

The  groat  California  prosperity  of 
1925  placed  such  heavy  responsibili- 
ties upon  the  local  Bureau  and 
developed  such  specific  requirements 
in  Bureau  service,  that  in  the  fall  of 
last  year  it  was  determined  to  create 
the  San  Francisco  Plan  of  operation. 

In  November  last  the  fortunate 
presence  in  San  Francisco  of  C.  King 
Woodbridge,  president  of  the  Asso- 
ciated Advertising  Clubs  of  the 
World  and,  in  private  life,  president 
of  the  Dictaphone  Co.  of  New  York, 
gave  opportunity  to  go  over  w-ith 
him  the  skeleton  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Plan.  It  met  with  his  warm 
approval,  and  the  completed  plan  is 
now  in  effect. 

Experience  having  demonstrated 
that  the  confidential  nature  of  most 
Better  Business  work  had  kept  manj' 
business  men  in  the  dark  as  to  the 
true  nature  of  the  organization  and 
type  of  service  rendered,  it  was  de- 
termined to  set  forth  in  the  San 
Francisco  Plan  concrete  facts,  free 
from  generalities. 

Value  of  Membersliip 

It  was  recognized  that  the  finan- 
cing of  the  Bureau  has  for  years  been 
done  by  some  civic  and  business 
leaders  who  understood  the  princi- 
ples of  Bureau  work,  but  that  con- 
siderable support  also  came  from 
men  who  looked  upon  membership 
in  the  Bureau  somewhat  in  the 
nature  of  a  goodwill  offering.  In 
nearly  all  cases,  the  Bureau  services 
to  members  have  been  of  a  character 
to  convince  the  members  of  the 
dollars-and-cents  value  of  Bureau 
membership. 


There  still  remained,  however,  two 
outstanding  facts: 

a.  Bureau  members  were  ob- 
taining a  general  service,  not  clearly 
defined  and  taken  rather  on  faith.  " 

b.  Hundreds  of  reputable  busi- 
ne.s.s  men  were  almost  completely  in 
ignoraiK-o  of  Better  Business  Bureau 
work  and  of  its  value  to  them,  hence 
were  not  identified  with  the  move- 
ment. 

The  problem  of  Bureau  develop- 
ment presented  several  angles  in 
addition  to  the  above,  but  all  have 
been  met  in  some  degree,  and  there 
will  be  no  standing  still. 

In  the  San  Francisco  Plan,  em- 
phasis is  laid  first  of  all  upon  the 
fact  that  the  Better  Business  Bureau 
is  as  remote  from  donation-seeking 
as  is  an  insurance  company  that  sells 
policies. 

Next  it  is  brought  out  that  the 
general  Bureau  service  has  been 
.split  up  into  ten  distinct  services,  so 
that  "mctcri'il  nienil)prships"  may 
be  taken  according  to  the  needs  of 
any  legitinuite  bu.siness.  The  indi- 
vidual services  listed  below  may  be 
taken  singly,  in  any  desired  combi- 
nation or  in  full : 

Unfair  Competition:  The  Bureau  to 
advise  those  whose  advertising  violates 
the  rulings  of  legally  constituted  regula- 
tory bodies.  Intentional  violators  to  be 
acted  against  when  educational  measures 
fail. 

Truthful  Adverlisinq:  The  Bureau  to 
resort  to  the  Advertising  Law  in  eases 
where  fraud  or  deception  has  been  the

operate at  all  times  with  legitimate  busi-

Business  Bureaus  in  other  cities — to  com- 
bat the  invasion  of  San  Francisco  by 
fraudulent  enterprises  of  all  kinds.  The 
Bureau  also  to  keep  a  watch  upon  sales 
operators  whose  methods  are  deceptive, 
and  to  act  against  them. 

Speaking  Service:  An  acceptable  Bureau 
speaker  to  appear  semi-annually  before 
selling  staffs  to  explain  trath  in  selling, 
truth  in  advertising  and  other  construc- 
tive ideas  along  Better  Business  lines,  for 
the  benefit  of,  and  after  consultation  with 
the  Reneral  management  of,  any  member 
institution. 

Composing  Disputes:  The  Bureau,  upon

Protecting  the  Small  Investor:  The 
Bureau  to  warn  the  inexperienced  and

investments  upon  advice  of  reputable 
dealers  in  securities.  Extra  non-confiden- 
tial Bureau  bulletins  for  the  financial 
education  of  pay-roll  employees  to  be 
furnished,  upon  request,  in  reasonable 
quantity,  same  to  be  posted  on  time

zations holding  membership  in  this 
service. 

Media  Service:  Keeping  out  of  Members' 
Pockets  the  Hand  of  the  Advertising  Grafter: 
The  Bureau  to  continue  and  enlarge  its 
Media  Service,  obtaining  and  keeping  on 
file  information  as  to  illegitimate  or 
worthless  publicatioas  seeking  to  sell 
advertising  space  to  members  of  this 
service;  to  investigate  claims  of  publica- 
tions; to  receive  statements  of  publica- 
tions desiring  to  be  on  record  with  the 
Bureau;  to  have  quickly  available,  or  to 
seek  quickly,  information  which  will 
avoid  waste  of  advertising  funds. 

Bulletin  Service:  At  least  two  confiden- 
tial bulletins  monthly  reporting  typical 
Bureau  cases,  giving  facts  of  educational 
value,  warning  against  fraudulent  proposi- 
tions and  schemes  to  be  shuimed,  etc. 

On  December  fifteenth  a  signifi- 
cant service  was  established  upon 
the  initiative  of  certain  mattress, 
pillow  and  comforter  manufacturers 
and  dealers.  It  involved  the  creation 
with  the  San  Francisco  Better  Busi- 
ness Bureau  of  a  departmental  forthe 
education  of  producers,  dealers  and 
consumers  of  the  foregoing  lines,  and 
the  enforcement  of  the  state  bed- 
ding laws. 

Seeing  in  the  Better  Business 
Bureau  a  neutral  body,  interested  in 
constructive  manufacturing  and 
marketing  methods,  a  group  of  far- 
visioned  men  in  the  mattress,  pillow 
and  comforter  industries  decided  to 
take  sufficient  memberships  in  the 
Bureau  to  justify  the  estabhshment 
of  a  separate  departmental  for  the 
protection  of  the  public  from  hy- 
gienic  and   value   standpoints. 

In  effect  they  divorced  themselves 
from  any  attempts  to  make  their 
industries  self-regulating  (with  con- 
sequent charges  of  competitive  bias), 
and  elected  the  Better  Business 
Bureau  as  arbitrator,  investigator,

iO  YOU  ever  read  your  insur-

The  public  generally  accepts  its  in- 
surance  contradts  without  question. 
While  this  speaks  well  forthe  reputation 
possessed  by  the  insurance  business, 
unfortunately  the  acceptance  of  the 
policy  form  without  careful  examina' 
tion  sometimes  results  in  dissatisfadiion 
when  a  loss  occurs,because  the  individ' 
ual  assured  has  not  understood  the  provisions  of  the  policy. 
In  an  attempt  to  corred:  this  condition  in  New  York  City 
the  Fireman's  Fund  and  eleven  other  leading  companies 
conducted  a  "Read  Your  Policy  Week,"  publishing  a  series

HOW  BROKER  MAKES  POLICIES  EASY  TO  READ  '■'' 

Knowing  that  people  don't  read  their  policies, every  good 
insurance  broker  encloses  with  the  policy  when  he  delivers 
it,  a  letter  explaining  to  the  assured  any  obligations  he  has 
assumed  toward  the  underwriters  in  his  policy  contradt. 
Further  than  that,  he  is  constantly  on  the  alert  to  see  that 
nothing  his  client  does  during  the  entire  term  of  the  policy 
violates  his  agreement. 

Thus  the  services  of  good  brokers  make  for  satisfactory 
loss  adjustments  — satisfactory  to  both  the  underwriters 
and  the  assured.

l\X  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JANUARY  13,  1926 


C/ur  I'oreign  irade  C/utlook 


THl'',  year  1925  closed  witli  our 
foreign  trade  in  a  highly  8atis- 
factory  situation.  Unless  un- 
foreseen pauses  should  arise  drasti- 
cally affecting  either  our  own  pro- 
duction or  the  purchasing  power  of 
(lur  leading  foreign  markets,  the 
prnspocts  for  the  coming  year  are 
altogether  favorable. 

Foremost,  perhaps,  among  the 
factors  which  promise  favor  to  our 
foreign  trade  for  the  coming  year  is 
what  has  already  come  to  be  known 
as  "the  spirit  of  Locarno,"  in  the 
countries  of  Europe  that  are  among 
our  best  customers.  No  review  of 
the  past  year  would  be  complete 
without  mention  of  the  Treaties  of 
Locarno,  whereby  the  principal 
nations  of  Western  and  Central 
luu-ope  pledged  themselves  to  niu- 
tual  guarantees  of  peace,  stability 
and  good  will.  We  have  reason  to 
hope  that  a  new  era  has  been  thus 
invoked  among  the  former  warring 
nations,  and  to  believe  that  Europe 
is  at  la,st  about  to  enter  into  a  period 
offering  the  most  beneficent 
opportunities  for  her  undisturbed 
internal  development. 

Our  European  Market 

Restored  to  a  reasonable  sense  of 
national  stability  and  the  oppor- 
tunity for  greater  industrial  produc- 
tivity, Europe  must  undoubtedly 
find  herself  with  an  increased  ability 
to  buy  from  abroad;  and  it  can 
hardly  be  doubted  that  American 
trade  will  have  its  appropriate  share 
in  Europe's  improved  markets. 

During  1925  the  export  trade  of 
the  United  States  continued  its 
steady  advance,  exceeding  by  more 
than  7  per  cent  its  value  in  1924. 
The  total  value  of  our  exports  for 
the  year  is  in  the  neighborhood  of 
.'S4,900,00(),()(10,  the  largest  figure 
since  1920,  anil  representing  an  in- 
crea.se  largely  due  to  increased 
volume  rather  than  to  higher  prices. 
This  is  an  eminently  satisfactory 
showing  when  compared  with  that 
of  other  leading  industrial  countries. 
British  exports  of  domestic  products 
were  slightly  less  than  in  1924,  and 
French  exports  also  showed  a  decline. 
Very  naturally  those  of  Germany, 
in  view  of  the  recstablishment  of  her 
currency  and  the  at  least  partial 
settlement  of  international  compli- 
cations, have  shown  some  increase — 
about  6  per  cent.  After  allowing  for 
the  changing  prices,  British  exports 


By  JULIUS  KLEIN 

Director,  United  States  Bureau  of  Foreign 
and  Domestic  Commerce 

are  only  about  three-fourths  as  great 
as  before  the  war,  and  German  ex- 
ports a  little  more  than  one-half  as 
great,  while  French  exports,  as 
nearly  as  can  be  ascertained,  have 
increased  slightly.  Those  of  the 
United  States,  on  the  other  hand, 
show  a  large  increase  in  physical 
volume — at  least  20  per  cent. 

Finished  Manufactures 

It  is  particularly  a  matter  for 
comment  that  our  exports  of  finished 
manufactures  have  again  risen 
markedly.  Almost  every  class  of 
manufactured  articles  has  been  ex- 
ported in  greater  quantity  than  ever 
before,  except  in  the  inflation  years, 
1919  and  1920.  A  truly  remarkable 
achievement  of  American  industry 
is  its  increase  of  nearly  60  per  cent 
over  1924  in  the  number  of  automo- 
biles exported,  raising  the  automo- 
bile to  a  rank  in  our  export  trade 
surpassed  only  by  cotton  and  mineral 
oils. 

But  our  so-called  favorable  trade 
balance,  that  is  the  excess  of  exports 
over  imports,  has  been  about  one- 
third  less  than  last  year.  This  is 
due,  in  large  part  at  least,  to  per- 
fectly normal  and  healthy  condi- 
tions. When  our  business  is  active 
and  the  people  prosperous,  we  de- 
mand more  exotic  foodstuffs  on  our 
dining  tables  and  more  raw  materials 
from  abroad  for  our  factories.  The 
year  1921,  which  was  one  of  marked 
depression,  for  example,  showed 
much  smaller  imports  and  a  much 
larger  excess  of  exports  over  imports 
than  in  the  years  since.  The  year 
1925  was  marked  by  greater  pros- 
perity than  1924.  As  against  an 
increase  of  a  little  over  7  per  cent  in 
our  exports,  imports  have  increased 
by  17  per  cent  in  1925.  This  dis- 
parity need  be  lamented  only  be- 
cause of  the  fact  that  fully  half  of 
the  increase  in  value  of  imports  has 
been  due  to  price  advances. 

A  Creditor  Country 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that 
since  pre-war  years  the  United 
States  has  changed  from  being 
primarily  a  debtor  country  to  being 
a  great  creditor  country,  toward 
which  interest  payments  and  pay- 
ments on  principal  flow,  tending  to 


increase  imports.  Moreover  we  now 
have  to  pay  relatively  much  less  to 
foreigners  for  ocean  transportation 
on  account  of  the  development  of  our 
our  own  shipping.  Were  we  not  con- 
stantly making  large  new  invest- 
ments in  foreign  countries,  the 
change  in  our  position  in  this  respect 
might  readily  result  in  a  normal 
excess  of  imports.  The  continuous 
large  balance  in  our  favor  represents 
primarily  our  increasing  loans  and 
investments  abroad.  Our  new  place- 
ments of  capital  in  foreign  countries 
during  1925  have  probably  totaled 
more  than  -SI, 000,000,000  and  bring 
our  total  foreign  investments  (ex- 
clusive of  loans  by  our  Government) 
to  more  than  89,000,000,000,  as 
compared  with  about  $2,000,000,000 
before  the  war.  These  investments 
represent,  of  course,  savings  of  the 
American  people  and  additions  to 
their  wealth;  they  supply  a  future 
increase  of  national  income  in  the 
form  of  interest  and  dividends  from 
such  investments,  as  well  as  a  most 
potent  stimulus  to  our  exports. 

Changes  in  Trade 

Considering  more  particularly  the 
character  of  the  recent  changes  in 
our  trade,  it  should  be  borne  in  mind 
that  our  exports  of  crude  materials 
and  of  foodstuffs  are  dependent  not 
so  much  upon  the  enterprise  of  our 
producers  and  exporters  as  upon 
changes  in  our  crops  and  those 
abroad.  To  a  greater  extent  exports 
of  semi-manufactures,  and  especially 
of  finished  manufactures,  reflect  the 
degree  of  efficiency  and  enterprise 
of  our  industries  and  our  traders, 
although  at  the  same  time  they  also 
are  afifected  by  general  economic 
conditions  and  the  buying  powers  of 
our  customers.  An  increase  in  ex- 
ports of  these  classes  is  a  favorable 
sign,  both  as  to  domestic  and  foreign 
conditions. 

The  exports  of  1925  show,  as  com- 
pared with  1924,  an  increase  of 
about  13  per  cent  in  the  value  of 
crude  materials,  a  slight  decrease  in 
foodstuffs,  and  an  increase  of  about 
12  per  cent  each  in  semi-manufac- 
tured and  finished  articles.  The 
increase  in  crude  materials  would 
have  been  still  greater  but  for  the 
decline  in  the  price  of  cotton,  the 
most  important  item.  Owing  to  the 
marked  inprovement  in  our  last  two 
crops,  our  cotton  exports  were  more

industry,  Idaho  has  taken  rapid 
forwarci  strides  in  dairying  and 
cheese  production.  Less  than  five 
years  ago,  Idaho  was  importing 
cheese  and  butter.  The  great  pro- 
duction this  year  will  bring  the  state 
up  to  third  place  in  the  manufacture 
of  cheese  and  from  seventeenth  to 
fourteenth  place  in  butter.  The 
largest  producer  of  cheese  in  the 
United  States  after  several  visits  to 
Idaho  was  so  impres.sed  with  its 
future  as  a  dairy  state  that  he  estab- 
lished at  Pocatello  a  large  plant 
where  Idaho  clieesc  is  assembled  and 
manufactured  into  standard  prod- 


ucts for  distribution  throughout  the 
countr}-.  Indications  are  that  Idaho's 
cheese  production  will  increase  from 
6,700.000  pounds  in  1924  to  10,000,- 
000  pounds  in  1925. 

There  is  at  Pa}'ette,  Idaho,  a  co- 
operative creamery  which  started 
five  years  ago.  The  first  year  less 
than  200,000  pounds  of  butter  was 
produced.  This  year  the  same 
creamery  will  manufacture  nearly 
3,000,000  pounds.  While  this  is  an 
exceptional  illustration  of  growth,  it 
is  fairly  representative  of  the  prog- 
ress that  has  been  made.  The  total 
for  the  state  this  year  will,  according 
to   the   most   careful   estimate,   be

24,000,000  pounds.  A  very  consider- 
able proportion  of  this  product  is 
being  marketed  in  California  and 
more  will  doubtless  go  there  as  a 
result  of  the  closer  relations  to  be 
established  by  the  opening  of  the 
new  railroad. 

Another  industry  that  has  been 
developed  rapidly  in  Idaho  recently 
is  the  poultry  and  egg  business.  This, 
too,  is  in  part  at  least  due  to  the 
efforts  made  by  the  Union  Pacific 
System.  Last  year  in  cooperation 
with  the  State  Agricultural  College 
a  special  train  was  operated  over  its 
lines  for  the  purpose  of  encouraging 
tlie  ■production  of  poultry.  The 
train  was  etiuipped  with  an  exhibit 
comprising  the  best  available  speci- 
mens of  all  recognized  breeds  and  a 
tour  of  the  state  was  made. 

Readers  of  San  Francisco  Busi- 
ness may  be  interested  in  knowing 
that  Idaho  acres  are  the  most 
productive  for  agricultural  crops  in 
the  Union.  The  United  States  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  in  a  bulletin 
covering  1923  crops  shows  that 
Idaho  led  the  nation  in  yield  per 
acre  of  wheat,  beans,  alfalfa  seed, 
Grimm  alfalfa  seed,  seed  peas  and 
rye.  In  the  production  of  oats  it 
was  excelled  only  by  Washington, 
in  clover  seed  by  Mississippi,  in 
barley  by  Washington,  in  corn  by 
Massachusetts,  in  potatoes  by  Maine, 
Vermont  and  New  Hampshire,  and 
in  sugar  beets  by  Colorado. 

Actual  figures  on  Idaho's  agricul- 
tural and  horticultural,  livestock, 
wdcil  and  lumber  crops  and  mines  for 
192.3  will  show  a  value  in  excess  of 
.5225,000,000,    divided    as    follows: 

Wheat 27,975,000  bu.  $.3.5,000,000

cyf  Leader  s  Kiews  ofyapan's  Problems 


A  VISITOR  to  San  Francisco  in 
December  who  was  of  more 
than  passing  interest  was  Mr. 
Kyohei  Kato.  managing  director  of 
the  Mitsubishi  Trading  Company  of 
Japan.  His  mission  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  was  to  visit  a  number  of  the 
firms  exporting  to  Japan  through 
his  organization.  Mr.  Kato  is  travel- 
ing on  the  Pacific  Coast  as  a  guest  of 
Mr.  A.  C.  McLaughlin,  vice  presi- 
dent and  general  manager  of  the 
Associated  Oil  Company. 

In  Japan  the  Mitsubishi  Company 
occupies  a  prominent  position  in  the 
industrial  and  commercial  world. 
Among  its  activities  are  shipbuilding 
and  repair  facihties,  coal  mines, 
metal  and  machinery  manufactur-

Baron  Iwasaki. 

The  Mitsubishi  Shoji  Kaisha,  or 
Trading  Company,  has  a  branch 
office  in  Seattle,  and  also  maintains 
offices  in  New  York,  London,  Paris 
and  Berlin.    Mr.  Shimatani,   man- 


ager of  the    Seattle    branch, 
arciiiiipanied  Mr.   Kato  on  his

tour 


KYOHEI  KATO 


of  the  Pacific  Coast,  stated  that  last 
year  his  exports  of  wheat  from  the 


Northwest  to  Japan  exceeded  one 
hundred  thousand  tons. 

"The  agricultural  lands  of  Japan," 
said  Mr.  Kato,  "are  no  longer  able 
to  produce  enough  food  to  support 
our  nation.  The  poor  people  in  the 
country  and  in  the  smaller  villages 
have  stopped  eating  rice,  because 
the  price  is  too  high.  They  are  eat- 
ing wheat,  which  we  are  importing 
from  the  United  States,  Canada  and 
Australia.  Only  the  well-to-do  can 
afford  to  have  rice  as  part  of  their 
regular  diet." 

From  the  Pacific  Northwest  the 
Mitsubishi  Company  is  exporting  to 
Japan  large  amounts  of  lumber,  and 
Mr.  Kato  looks  forward  to  a  gradual 
increase  in  the  amount  used  in  the 
islands. 

"Our  own  supply  is  very  limited," 
he  stated  in  conversation  with  some 
of  the  leading  lumber  men  of  Port- 
land. "It  is  probable  that  the  price 
will  gradually  increase  in  the  islands, 
because  our  people  are  rebuilding 
and  extending  their  building  opera- 
tions very  rapidly.  The  government 
is  making  loans  on  very  favorable

odiieatoi-  and,  when  necessary,  as 
prosecutor,  for  the  uplifting  of  the 
industries  as  a  whole  in  this  terri- 
tory. 

The  local  Bureau  was  able  to  en- 
list the  state  authorities,  the  inspec- 
tion is  done  under  the  auspices  of 
the  State  Division  of  Weiglits  and 
Measures,  and  the  resulting  co- 
operative effort  is  counted  upon  to 
set  a  precedent  for  other  parts  of  the 
nation. 

This  is  indicative  of  the  trend  of 
Bureau  work. 

Several  other  local  industries  and 
civic  leaders  of  some  neighboring 
communities  are  contacting  the 
local  Bureau  with  a  view  to  making 
it  an  arbitrator,  an  investigator,  or 
a  roi)()rting  agency  and  source  of 
information  in  relation  to  standards 
of  i)ractice  in  advertising  and  sales 
promotion,  manufacturing  processes 
with  regard  to  existing  laws,  unfair 
competition,  worthless  advertising 
schemes  and  fake  investments. 

The  San  Francisco  Better  Busi- 
ness Bureau  has  the  whole-hearted 
cooperation  of  the  State  Corporation 
("omnii.ssion,  the  State  Real  Estate 
("omiiiission,  the  State  Division  of 
\\'ciKhts  and  Mea-sures,  the  District 
.Attorney's  Office,  the  City  Police 
Department  and  Detective  Bureau, 
the  United  States  Po.stal  Inspection 
Service  and  of  other  Better  Business 
Bureaus  throughout  the  United 
States. 

The  Bureau  is  the  recognized 
clearing  house  for  matters  in  its  field 
which  are  diverted  to  it  by  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
and  has  a  high  record  of  results  in 
handling  problems  involving  local 
concerns  which  have  dealt  with 
people  living  at  a  distance,  particu- 
larly in  the  protection  of  goodwill 
for  the  concerns  and  in  so  doing 
holding  the  faith  of  outsiders  in  the 
San  Francisco  business  community. 

The  membership  roster  of  the  San 
Francisco  Better  Business  Bureau 
presents  a  cross  section  of  the  repu- 
table mercantile,  financial,  trans- 
portation and  industrial  organiza- 
tions of  the  city,  and  the  present 
Bureau  plan  seems  destined,  by  its 
concrete  character,  to  engage  the 
interest  and  membership  of  many 
other  legitimate  concerns. 

The  Better  Bu.siness  Bureau, 
through  President  Hal  H.  King  and 
other  officers  and  directors  of  the 
San  Francisco  Advertising  Club, 
was  one  of  the  first  organizations  to 
pass  resolutions  favoring  the  work  of 
the  San  Francisco  Endorsement 
Council,  which  will  pass  upon  all 
drives  for  charitable  funds  in  San 
Francisco. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JANUARY  13,  1926 


Pacific  Foreisn  Trade 

Council  to  Meet  Here 

in  March 

RI.  BEXTLEY,  president  of 
the  California  Packing  Cor- 
*  poration,  has  been  named 
chairman  of  a  committee  of  repre- 
sentative San  Francisco  business 
men  who  are  making  ambitious 
plans  for  the  fourth  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  Pacific  Foreign  Trade 
Council  to  be  held  here  March  4,  5 
and  6.  It  will  be  the  first  time  the 
Council  has  convened  in  this  city. 

The  convention  will  take  up  con- 
sideration of  every  phase  of  trade 
development  on  this  coast,  particu- 
larly in  connection  with  world  trade 
expansion.  Nationally  known  ex- 
perts on  trade  conditions  will  partici- 
pate in  the  discussion.  The  list  of 
speakers  includes  Dr.  Julius  Klein, 
head  of  the  Bureau  of  Foreign  and 
Domestic  Commerce,  Washington. 
D.  C;  J.  J.  Donovan,  widely  known 
lumberman  of  Bellingham,  Wash- 
ington; William  Pigott,  of  Seattle, 
president  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Steel 
Company;  J.  D.  Spreckels,  of  San 
Diego;  Captain  Robert  Dollar,  Her- 
bert Fleishh acker,  Frederick  .J. 
Koster,  Clay  Miller,  president  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, and  others. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  is 
taking  an  active  part  in  arranging 
for  the  convention  through  its 
Foreign  Trade  Department. 

"The  prosperity  and  development 
of  the  whole  Pacific  Coast  depends 
so  intimately  upon  foreign  trade  ex- 
tension that  the  Council  wishes  to 
broaden  its  .scope  still  further."  Mr. 
Bentley  declared  yesterday.  "This 
will  be  the  first  time  that  the  Pacific 
Foreign  Trade  Council  has  met  in 
San  Francisco  and  the  event  is  of 
unusual  significance  to  this  section 
of  the  coast." 


A  Leader's  Views  of

[  coiitiimod  from  page  13  ] 

terms,  and  building  and  loan  asso- 
ciations are  also  being  formed  b\  oui 
capitalists." 

At  a  luncheon  given  in  his  honor 
in  San  Francisco,  Mr.  Kato  ex- 
pressed himself  briefly  on  the  subject 
of  immigration. 

"Regardless  of  what  our  politicians 
may  think,  the  Japanese  business 
leaders  are  a  unit  in  believing  that 
the  small  number  of  people  who 
leave  Japan  to  come  to  the  United 
States  will  never  help  us  very  much 
in  solving  our  problem  of  congested 


population.  Our  people  are  increas- 
ing at  the  rate  of  over  seven  hundred 
thousand  annually.  Perhaps  we  can 
send  some  of  them  to  Africa,  Man- 
churia, South  America,  and  other 
places  where  there  is  very  little 
settlement.  The  opinion  of  our 
business  men,  however,  is  that  our 
best  policy  is  to  develop  trade  and 
more  manufacturing.  We  must  keep 
abreast  of  the  rapidly  growing  re- 
quirements of  the  Orient  by  increas- 
ing out  own  trade  and  manufactur- 
ing. If  politicians,  both  in  the 
United  States  and  in  Japan,  could 
get  this  point  of  view,  I  think  our 


trade  relations  would  improve  very 
rapidly." 

While  in  California,  Mr.  Kato 
visited  the  distributing  plants,  re- 
fineries, pipe  lines,  and  oil  fields  of 
the  Associated  and  Pacific  Oil  com- 
panies. The  Mitsubishi  Trading 
Company  several  months  ago  ac- 
cepted an  agreement  to  act  as  dis- 
tributors for  the  Associated  Oil 
Company  in  Japan.  Accordingly, 
Mr.  Kato  was  particularly  desirous 
while  visiting  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
to  learn  at  first  hand  the  methods  by 
which  petroleum  products  are  han- 
dled in  this  country. 


Every  Audit  Should  Be 

A  Detailed  Audit 

The  leaders  in  practically  every  field  of  business 
now  regard  the  Detailed  Audit  as  an  absolute 
necessity.  The  Reserve  Cities  Bankers  Associa- 
tion, and  most  of  the  Credit  Associations  through- 
out the  country,  stand  on  record  as  preferring  it 
to  the  Balance  Sheet  Audit. 

Offering  an  expert  and  independent  study  in 
detail  of  the  items  represented  in  mass  by 
balance-sheet  figures,  the  Detailed  Audit  not 
only  verifies,  but  clarifies.  It  digs  beneath  the 
figures  and  reveals  the  buried  facts. 

Every  audit  should  be  a  Detailed  Audit.  It 
brings  to  light  avoidable  leaks  and  wastes.  It 
finds  the  fiaws  in  accounting,  in  credit  and  col- 
lection methods.  It  presents  the  cause,  and  the 
effect,  of  financial  policies.  It  points  to  possi- 
bilities for  greater  profits. 

Free  from  the  qualified  statements  of  the  Balance 
Sheet  Audit,  the  Detailed  Audit  is  the  ideal  basis 
for  credit.  Complete  in  its  presentation  of  the 
facts  behind  the  figures,  it  is  the  only  basis  for 
executive  plans  and  action  which  lead  to  progress 
and  success.

Particularly  gratifying  is  the 
showing  of  our  exports  in  most  of  the 
major  classes  of  manufactured  goods. 
The  increase  of  nearly  60  per  cent  in 
the  number  of  automobiles  exported 
has  already  been  mentioned,  and 
every  indication  is  that  this  remark- 
able advance  will  continue — largely 
because  of  the  general  improvement 
of  world  economic  conditions,  the 
lowered  prices  of  our  automobiles, 
the  inaljility  of  most  ICuropean  pro- 
ducers to  satisfy  demand,  and  the 
exploitation  of  hitherto  undeveloped 
markets,  stimulated  in  se\eral  im- 
portant instances  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce.  Outstanding 
examples  of  increased  purcha.ses  of 
.\merican  automobiles  in  1925  over 
1924  are:  Belgium,  36  per  cent;  Den- 
mark, 700  per  cent;  Norway,  30  per 
cent;  Brazil,  154  per  cent;  and 
United  Kingdom,  260  per  cent. 

Exports  of  machinery  (other  than 
electrical  and  agricultural)  have  in- 
creased in  value  more  than  20  per 
cent,  and  those  of  agricultural 
machinery  more  than  25  per  cent. 
Exports  of  electrical  machinery,  in 
contrast  with  the  normal  increase  of 
recent  years,  have  been  stationarj*. 
The  increase  of  recent  j'ears  in  ex- 
ports of  copper  was  continued  dur- 
ing 1925,  stimulated  by  the  further 
recovery  of  Europe  and  the  effort 
there  to  make  up  for  deficient  elec- 
trical development  during  the  war 
years.  Our  exports  of  rubber  tires 
increased  about  one-third  in  quan- 
tity, again  a  commodity  to  which 
the  Department  of  Commerce  has 
been  giving  some  special  attention. 
Those  of  cotton  manufactures,  which 
liad  fallen  off  somewhat  in  1924, 
again  rose  materially.  In  fact,  the 
only  important  class  of  manufac- 
tured articles  to  fall  off  in  exporta- 
tion are  lumber  and  iron  and  steel. 
The  decrease  in  iron  and  steel  is 
comparatively  insignificant,  and  is 
the  natural  result  of  a  gradual  re- 
covery of  European  production  and 
of  the  severe  competition  of  countries 
like  Germany,  Belgium  and  France 
with  much  lower  wage  scales — in 
the  case  of  the  two  latter  countries — 
with  a  temporary  stimulus  to  ex- 
portation resulting  from  currency 
depreciation. 

Our  exports  to  every  continent, 
except  Asia,  were  greater  in  1925 
than  the  year  before.  On  account  of 
the  diminished  bujnng  power  of 
Cuba,  however,  resulting  from  the 
fall  in  sugar  prices,  and  of  Canada's 
poor  harvests  of  1924,  our  exports 
to  North  American  countries  showed 
but  a  small  increase.    In  Asia  the 


decrease  is  confined  substantially  to 
Japan  and  China,  but  even  so  our 
sales  to  the  Continent  of  Asia  in 

1925  were  not  far  short  of  four  times 
as  great  in  value  as  they  were  in 
1913.  In  the  case  of  Japan,  the 
decline  in  our  exports  is  attributable 
to  the  naturally  reduced  demands 
for  reconstruction  material,  and  to  a 
general  business  depression  that  has 
been  felt  there;  but  the  outlook  for 

1926  in  the  Island  Empire  is  more 
encouraging.  Disturbed  poUtical 
conditions  in  China  have  seriously 
hampered  our  exports  to  that 
countrj-,  and  the  trade  prospect 
there  for  1926  is  still  uncertain,  but 
we  should  at  least  equal  this  year's 
trade.  Our  exports  to  India  in- 
creased slightly  in  spite  of  falling 
price  levels  and  of  British,  German 
and  Japanese  competition.  Ameri- 
cans are  steadily  gaining  a  foothold 
in  this  market.  L^xports  to  both 
Australia  and  New  Zealand  show  an 
increase  despite  greater  competition 
from  Europe,  and  totaled  in  1925 
more  than  three  and  a  half  times

A  Million  Dollars  a  Year  for  Sports  Hats 


tinued  from  page  7  ] 


world  like  an  ordinary  mat  for  a 
table,  but  which  under  the  deft 
manipulation  of  the  Meadowbrook 
artists  become  shapely  hat  forms, 
and  a  little  later  beautiful  hats  in 
green  or  blue,  pearl-pink  or  coral- 
red,  or  any  one  of  the  thirty-six 
colors  in  which  the  Meadowbrook 
products  appear. 

These  raw  shapes  or  hat  bodies 
are  purchased  by  the  Simon  con- 
cern in  hundred-dozen  lots,  and  in 
the  native  colors  that  each  particu- 
lar type  comes  in.  The  importing  is 
all  done  through  one  firm  in  New 
York,  where  the  shapes  are  redyed 
to  bring  them  into  the  color  card 
which  Meadowbrook  trade  demands. 
They  are  then  shipped  to  San  Fran- 
cisco and  are  here  converted  into 
the   finished   Meadowbrook   hat. 

Milady's  hat  as  it  appears  upon 
her  head  or  in  the  showcase  of  the 
smart  millinery  shop  is  of  course  a 
composite  creation,  and  its  ground 
color,  that  is,  the  main  mass  of  its 
color,  is  more  or  less  modified  by  the 
trimmings  or  ornamentations  that 
have  been  placed  upon  it.  Thus  the 
blend  becomes  individual.  It  is 
pleasing  and  personal,  an  isolated 
bloom,  that  somehow  eludes  the 
true  relationship  which  it  bears  to 
the  great  color  scheme  of  the  hat 
world.  To  catch  the  true  and  vital 
import  of  color  and  the  part  it  plays 
in  the  Meadowbrook  spectrum,  you 
should  visit  the  stock  room  where 
the  raw  shapes  are  stored,  or  better 
still,  the  blocking  room,  where  the.se 
shapes,  now  stiffened  with  glue,  are 
molded  into  the  graceful  and  at- 
tractive forms  of  the  finished  prod- 
uct. 

Here  is  a  riot  of  color,  the  drab  tan 
of  the  Shantungs,  the  golden  wheat 
of  some  Bankok  straws,  a  delicate 
pearl-pink — not  onje,  you  must 
understand,  but  hundreds  of  kinds 
stacked  together  in  tall  mounds  or 
pillars  of  hat  forms.  Here  is  a  whole 
bin  of  shapes,  some  of  coral-red, 
some  of  a  raspberry-glace,  of  greens 
and  blues  and  lavender,  of  rose  and 
mauve  and  Cathedral  blue.  And 
here,  ah,  what  a  flaming  beauty  in 
that  shade,  and  what  a  name  for  it! 
Phantom  Red!  It's  particularly 
popular  just  now,  for  it  rides  on  the 
high  wave  of  publicity  given  to  it 
by  the  film  called  "The  Phantom  of 
the  Opera."  It's  a  brilliant  scarlet 
color  with  just  a  hint  of  yellow  that 
is  somehow  suggestive  of  a  glowing 
fire,  or  a  flaming  sunset. 

Thirty-six  colors,  each  of  which 
may  be  given  any  number  of  modifi- 


cations and  adaptations  later  by  the 
craftsmanship  of  the  designers  who 
are  busily  at  work  in  the  chief  de- 
signing room. 

The  raw  shapes  are  mostly  very 
soft  and  as  limp  as  a  rag.  To  make 
them  stand  up,  and  hold  their  form, 
they  are  aU  treated  to  a  bath  in  a 
kettle  of  hot  glue  or  gelatin.  Here 
is  where  workmanship  comes  into 
the  art  of  hat-making,  for  the  hat 
can  be  made  or  spoiled  right  here  in 
the  sizing  room,  as  it  is  called.  There 
is  no  formula  to  go  by.  The  process 
is  one  of  the  secrets  of  the  hat- 
making  business,  and  the  whole  thing 
depends  largely  on  whether  or  not 
the  dipper  knows  his  stuff.  A 
spoiled  shape  is  a  considerable  loss, 
for  the  cost  of  the  undipped  forms 
runs  from  $1.50  to  $9.00  each.  A 
doUar-and  -fifty-cent  shape  will  work 
up  into  a  $6.00  or  $7.50  hat.  A 
nine-dollar  shape  when  ready  for 
Milady's  head  will  cost  $35.  In  the 
Meadowbrook  establishment  the 
consumption  of  shapes  runs  around 
some  500  per  day,  in  the  height  of  a 
season. 

From  the  sizing  room  the  shapes 
go  to  the  blocking  room,  where  men 
are  pressing  the  glue-stiffened  forms 


into  their  final  sliape.  Some  of  the 
straws  are  here  given  a  coat  of  var- 
nish, which  brings  out  the  color  in  a 
beautiful  gloss.  The  hat  forms  now 
are  hung  on  trees,  a  dozen  or  more 
hats  on  each  tree,  one  tree  of  blues, 
one  of  greens,  one  of  pinks,  one  of 
blacks,  and  so  on.    The  great  color

tluwc  in  1913.  And  likowiso,  in  the 
face  of  keener  competition  fioni  both 
I'.uiope  and  Japan,  wc  made  fairly 
large  gains  in  nur  exports  to 
Malaysia.  The  biiyinc  power  of  the 
Malay  region  is  being  much  en- 
larged by  the  high  prices  of  rubber 
and  tin. 

As  has  been  so  frequently  the  case 
in  recent  years,  our  exports  to  South 
America  show  a  marked  increase, 
being  more  than  20  per  cent  greater 
than  for  the  previous  year,  and  our 
products  in  the  markets  of  that  con- 
tinent can  only  be  regarded  a.s  most 
gratifying.     Improvcnl    world    trade 


stability  and  a  much  enhanced  de- 
mand in  Kuropean  markets  for 
Latin- American  products  have 
brought  about  more  prosperous  con- 
ditions in  the  countries  of  Latin 
America.  Tliis  has  been  reflected  in 
their  increa.sed  purchases  of  our 
manufactured  products  during  1925. 
Exports  to  I'^urope  consist  very 
largely  of  foodstuffs  and  raw  materi- 
als, and  they  have  shown  an  increase 
of  about  14  per  cent  in  value  in  1925. 
Exports  to  liussia  increased  over  50 
per  cent,  cotton  being  the  dominant 
item:  those  to  the  United  Kingdom 
by  9  per  cent.  The  improvement  in

is  reflected  by  an  inrrea.se  of  nearly 
20  per  cent  in  our  exports  to  that 
country.  Increasingly  stabilized  con- 
ditions, both  political  an<l  economic, 
and  restored  opportunities  for  the 
reorganization  of  productive  indus- 
tries after  the  disorders  following  in 
the  wake  of  the  war  are  doubtless 
the  main  rea.sons  for  the  steady 
growth  of  our  trade  in  European 
markets. 

Rut  while  much  of  our  continued 
success  may  be  attributed  to  what 
has  already  been  termed  the  grow- 
ing "Spirit  of  Locarno."  a  word  may 
justly  be  said  for  the  services  of  our 
Bureau  lA  Foreign  and  Domestic 
Commerce  in  behalf  of  American 
export  trade,  and  the  manner  in 
which  our  American  exporters  have 
responded  to  them.  The  Bureau's 
corps  of  trained  experts,  placed  in 
every  foreign  trade  field  of  any  im- 
portance, has  kept  the  American 
business  man  supplied  with  practical 
trade  information  all  over  the  world ; 
and  the  reaction  of  the  business  man 
to  this  service  is  ample  evidence  of 
its  value. 

Every  day  it  becomes  clearer  that 
there  is  a  better  understanding 
among  American  business  men  of 
export  methods,  of  credits  and 
agencies  abroad,  of  all  the  manifold 
problems  that  enter  into  export 
trade.  More  intelligent  and  compli- 
cated inquiries  are  addressed  to  the 
Bureau  and  an  increasing  interest 
displayed  in  the  opportunities  for 
export.  This  is  especiallj'  true  of  the 
many  smaller  firms  which  hitherto 
have  evinced  little  desire  to  engage 
in  export  trade.  There  is  positive 
indication  of  a  keen  interest  to 
know  who's  u'ho  in  the  foreign 
trade  centers  and  byways,  as  indi- 
cated by  actual  requests  from 
Bureau  clients  for  lists  of  dealers 
and  importers  in  all  types  of  com- 
modities. Covering  the  calendar 
year  1925  the  Bureau  delivered, 
against  actual  requests,  over  800,000 
such  typed  lists. 

Turning  now  to  imports,  the  total 
value  of  our  import  trade  for  1925 
increased  even  more  than  that  of 
exports,  being  about  17  per  cent 
greater  than  in  1924.  While  this  in- 
crease reflects  the  greater  prosperity 
of  the  country,  with  enhanced  buy- 
ing power  for  tropical  and  semi- 
tropical  foodstuffs  and  exotic  raw 
materials,  it  is  unfortunately  at- 
tributable also  in  considerable  part 
to  marked  advances  in  the  prices  of 
a  number  of  important  articles,  such 
as  rubber,  coffee,  tin,  wool,  and 
hides  and  skins;  and  some  of  these 
increases  in  turn  are  due  to  in- 
defensible artificial  restrictions  di-

scheme  takes  here  a  very  tangible 
form.  The  Meaclowbrook  spectrum 
iDegins  to  unroll.  The  commercial 
and  artistic  value  of  San  Francisco 
sunshine  begins  to  reveal  itself. 

The  Meaclowbrook  studios  occupy 
two  entire  floors  of  the  Meadowbrook 
Building,  the  fifth  and  sixth  stories, 
with  a  cafeteria  and  a  roof  garden 
overhead.  All  in  all  some  four 
hundred  workers  are  employed, 
though  the  number  varies  depend- 
ing upon  the  time  of  year.  Most  of 
these  workers  are  women,  the  true 
milliners,  whose  deft  fingers  give 
the  final  touch  to  the  finished  hat 
shape  as  it  comes  to  them  from  the 
blocking  room,  the  touch  which 
transmutes  it  into  a  Meadowbrook. 

Model  Workrooms 

These  women,  hundreds  of  them, 
work  in  large,  sunlighted  rooms  on 
the  top  floor  of  the  Meadowbrook 
Building,  grouped  at  long  tables, 
each  table  engaged  in  the  making  of 
some  particular  style  of  hat.  These 
workrooms  are  clean  and  airy. 
They  are  scientifically  ventilated, 
and  no  effort  or  cost  has  been  spared 
to  create  ideal  conditions  wherein 
the  work  may  be  carried  on.  Thus, 
you  observe,  the  basic  concept  of 
the  Meadowbrook  success  is  a  state 
of  mind,  a  thing  of  the  imagination, 
the  theory  that  a  beautiful  hat  is 
not  essentially  a  manufactured  ar- 
ticle, something  that  could  be 
turned  out  in  any  sort  of  a  place. 
The  thought  behind  it  is  more 
intellectual.  A  Meadowbrook  hat 
must  be  an  artistic  creation,  some- 
thing with  life  and  feeUng  in  it, 
something  that  expresses  a  "joie  de 
vivre,"  as  the  Meadowbrook  people 
call  it,  and  such  a  creation  can  come 
only  from  a  studio  and  the  hands  of 
a  true  artist. 

Here  is  psychology  of  a  very 
sound  and  a  very  practical  kind.  It 
is  a  subtle  thought,  and  one  can 
understand  why  it  has  so  completely 
escaped  other  hat  manufacturers. 
It  did  not  escape  Mr.  Gerald  Simon, 
to  whom  is  credited  this  idea  that 
an  artist  who  loves  his  work,  and  is 
given  the  opportunity,  will  somehow 
pour  his  feeling  and  his  sense  of 
beauty  into  the  work  whereon  he  is 
engaged,  be  this  work  a  landscape 
done  in  oil,  or  a  beautiful  hat  done 
in  colored  straws  and  silk  and 
flowers. 

Thus,  the  Meadowbrook  work- 
rooms have  been  designed  with  the 
thought  that  they  are  studios,  and 
thus  also  the  artistic  concept  has 
been  distilled  and  injected  into  the 
very  atmosphere. 

The  workers  are  copyists,  mainly. 


COMMUNITY  CHEST  TREATMENT 
OF  THE  HOMELESS  MAN 

THI']  Community  Chest,  through  the  Council  of  Social  and  Health 
Agencies,  has  established  a  Registration  Bureau  for  Homeless 
Men  at  Room  904  Atlas  Building,  604  Mission  Street. 

This  registering  will  discover  definite  data  concerning  the  indi- 
vidual man  making  up  that  group  which  constitutes  a  homeless-man 
problem  in  San  Francisco.  To  this  end  the  interviewer  besides  making 
out  a  "case  history"  will  also  have  a  brief  report  from  an  assisting 
doctor. 

There  is  another  and  important  function  performed  by  the 
Registration  Bureau.  As  you  know,  the  Community  Chest  supports 
agencies  given  over  to  relief  work  for  men.  These  are  all  doing  the 
work  for  which  they  are  equipped.  It  is  for  this  bureau  to  put  the  man 
in  touch  with  that  agency  best  suited  to  his  needs.  A  man  asks  you 
for  the  price  of  a  meal.  What  he  really  needs  may  be  medical  care  to 
make  him  fit  for  his  place  among  the  workers. 

We  are,  therefore,  asking  you,  the  business  men  of  San  Francisco, 
to  send  to  this  Registration  Bureau  all  men  begging  meals  or  money. 

When  solicited  for  money  or  meals,  please  do  not  give  either.  This 
is  not  as  hard-hearted  as  it  sounds.  Probably  the  most  kindly  action 
you  can  do  for  that  man  will  be  to  send  him  to  Room  904  Atlas 
Building,  604  Mission  Street.  The  man  needing  help  will  be  helped. 
The  "professional  beggar"  will,  of  course,  not  go  to  the  bureau,  but 
he  will  meet  with  the  proper  police  discipline. 


House  samples  from  which  the  mer- 
chandise is  made  are  designed  by  the 
chief  designers,  of  whom  a  score  or 
so  are  constantly  engaged  upon  new 
creative  details.  These  work 
separately  in  the  chief  designing 
room,  and  here  they  make  on  an 
average  about  800  sample  hats  each 
season.  These  samples  are  sent  out 
where  buyers  for  the  trade  may  view 
them,  and  from  these  the  Meadow- 
brook orders  are  made  up.  The 
more  appealing  the  model,  the  larger 
the  orders  that  result  from  it,  arid 
the  replicas  are  then  developed  in 
the  main  workrooms. 

Volume  the  Secret 

Meadowbrook  is  not  unmindful 
of  the  thing  called  volume.  The 
more  orders  that  can  be  realized 
from  one  sample,  the  more  profit  the 
firm  will  derive,  for  with  each  repro- 
duction of  any  particular  hat,  the 
design  improves  in  workmanship. 
The  aim  is  to  concentrate  the  sales 
on  as  few  models  as  possible,  but 
the  choice  is  left  entirely  with  the 
buyers,  for  it  is  their  judgment  that 
is  relied  upon  to  determine  what  sort 
of  models  will  sell  best. 

Eastern  distribution  is  carried  on 
through  Louis  Strauss  &  Son  of 
New  York,  where  a  full  line  of 
Meadowbrook  hats  is  on  display  the 
year  round.  Seasonal  displays  are 
arranged  in  all  the  important  cities 
of  the  United  States,  and  are  ar- 
ranged in  groups,  divided  as  follows: 


Pacific  Coast,  six  cities;  Middle 
West,  sixteen-  cities;  South,  nine- 
teen cities. 

In  these  cities  the  advance  spring 
line  for  1926  was  shown  on  the  dates 
from  November  1  to  November  30. 
From  one  to  four  days  is  allowed  for 
each  city,  depending  upon  its  size 
and  its  importance  as  a  sales  center 
for  this  type  of  merchandise. 

This  early  spring  line  goes  by  the 
trade  name  of  Florida  Line,  from 
which  one  might  gather  the  notion 
that  these  hats  are  for  the  mid- 
winter season  in  Florida  only.  That 
is  not  true,  however.  While  Horida 
and  California,  because  of  their  out- 
door climate  during  the  winter 
months,  have  provided  the  motif  for 
this  line  of  hats,  the  hats  are  sold  in 
all  of  the  large  cities,  for  the  sports 
hat  is  as  adaptable  to  the  woman 
that  goes  out  in  a  snowstorm, 
sheltered  within  an  inclosed  car,  or 
any  ordinary  winter  service  in  a  cold 
climate  as  it  is  adapted  for  the 
warmer  climate  of  a  Florida  or  Cali- 
fornia beach  resort. 

What's  a  Sports  Hat? 

This  may  raise  the  question,  what 
is  a  sports  hat?  In  the  Meadow- 
brook studio  I  was  given  this  defini- 
tion. A  sports  hat  is  anything  not 
required  for  dress  purposes. 

This  distinction  is  rigidly  ad- 
hered to.  Recently  a  San  Francisco 
girl  wanted  a  black  felt  hat  to  wear

to  dances.  She  applied  at  the 
Moadowl)rook  studios,  having  been 
unable  to  find  a  Meadowbrook  in 
the  shops  which  was  suital)le.  Slic 
discovered  that  while  there  were 
some  six  hundred  models  on  rlisplay, 
there  was  no  black  felt  to  be  had 
which  would  serve  her  particular 
need.  What  she  re(|uired  was  a 
dre.ss  hat,  and  Meadowbrook  does 
not  include  that  kind  in  its  line. 

A  very  new  Meadowlirook  crea- 
tion is  called  the  Flexo-VVeave.  It 
is  a  crush  hat,  which  can  be  safely 
packed  away  in  a  suit  case,  in  the 
pocket  of  an  automobile,  without 
any  regard  as  to  its  condition.  When 
taken  from  its  narrow  confines  and 
released  to  full  space,  the  hat  re- 
sumes its  full  shape  in  a  twinkling 
and  appears  as  chic  as  when  it  was 
crushed  together. 

The  Flexo-Weave  was  the  result 
of  long  experimentation  with  ma- 
terials and  manufacture.  These  are 
made  altogether  in  the  Meadow- 
V)rofik  plant,  where  the  materials, 
usually  a  oombination  of  silk  ribbon 
and  narrow  straw  braid,  are  braided 
together  into  narrow  strips,  from 
which  the  hat  shape  is  then  wound 
over  a  head-mold.  The  sale  of  this 
handy  crush  hat  has  increased  very 
rapidly,  some  20,000  being  sold  last 
year. 

In  twelve  years  the  Simon 
brothers  have  built  up  the  largest 
plant  in  the  United  States  which  is 
entirely  devoted  to  the  production 
of  stj'le  merchandise.  But  their 
pride  is  not  in  this  alone.  The 
thought  which  seems  to  be  most 
pleasing  to  the  creators  of  Meadow- 
ijrook  hats  is  that  they  have  built  up 
a  model  manufacturing  plant  tiiat 
possesses  a  spiritual  endowment, 
and  where  conclitions  for  the  workers 
are  not  of  the  ordinary  workshop, 
but  of  the  artistic  studio  type. 

They  delight  in  the  fact  that  their 
product  pleases  each  year  many 
tens  of  thousands  of  American 
women,  but  they  also  delight  in  the 
additional  fact  that  this  product  has 
not  required  as  an  element  of  its 
success  the  sweat  and  blood  of  the 
workers  that  is  so  often  an  ingredient 
in  eastern  factories.  They  pay  good 
wages.  They  keep  their  workers 
happy.  They  have  provided  a  model 
cafeteria  for  their  use  and  comfort, 
and  a  beauty  spot  on  the  roof  where 
they  may  enjoy  their  lunch-hour 
leisure  amidst  pleasing  surround- 
ings, under  the  open  sky  yet  se- 
cluded from  the  noise  and  turmoil 
of  the  streets. 

Under  these  circumstances  Mead- 
owbrook hats  are  the  natural  prod- 
uct of  a  pleasing  environment,  which 


the  product  itself  reflects,  and  to 
which  it  is  perfectly  adapted.  And 
that  is,  of  course,  as  Mr.  Gerald 
Simon  says,  not  mere  manufacture. 
It  is  art — the  very  high  art  of  life 
itself.  And  the  million-dollar  in- 
come? Well,  perhaps,  that  is  a  by- 
product !

ipcted  against  the  consumers  of  the 
United  States. 

The  most  striking  phenomenon  in 
our  import  trade  of  1925  has  been 
the  great  advance  in  the  price  of 
rubber,  raising  it,  as  in  all  probability 
the  final  figures  will  show,  to  first 
place  among  our  imports.  For  the 
first  ten  months  the  quantity  of 
rubber  imported  increased  by  19 
per  cent  over  the  corresponding 
period  of  1924,  but  the  value  in- 
creased 121  per  cent.  During  recent 
months  the  average  import  price  has 
been  much  more  than  double  that 
for  the  corresponding  months  of 
1924.  Had  rubber  remained  un- 
changed in  price,  the  total  value  of 
our  imports  would  have  increased 
but  11  per  cent  instead  of  17  per 
cent.  This  immense  rise  in  tlie  price 
of  rubber  has  been  at  least  in  part 
due  to  artificial  restrictions,  the 
serious  character  of  which  Secretary 
Hoover  has  recently  called  to  the 
general  attention  of  the  public. 

Another  considerable  fraction  of 
the  increase  in  value  of  imports  has 
been  due  to  the  higher  price  of  coffee. 
While  the  quantity  imported  has 
been  one-eighth  less  than  in  1924,the 
value  has  been  about  one-sixth 
greater,  indicating  an  increase  of 
about  one-third  in  price.  This  rise 
is  largely  attributable  to  artificial 
control.  There  was  also  a  marked 
advance  in  the  average  prices  of 
other  major  import  items — wool, 
tin,  petroleum,  burlaps,  and  hides 
and  skins.  These  various  increases 
were  only  in  part  offset  by  certain 
price  declines,  the  most  noteworthy 
of  which  was  the  fall  of  more  than 
35  per  cent  in  the  price  of  sugar, 
bringing  that  item  down  from  first 
to  fourth  rank  among  our  imports. 

Among  the  five  great  classes  of 
imports,  tlie  only  one  to  show  a  de- 
crease in  1925  was  manufactured 
foodstuffs,  and  tliis  was  wholly  at- 
tributable to  the  lower  priceof  sugar. 
Crude  foodstuffs  increased  by  15  per 
cent,  being  materially  swelled  by 
the  higher  price  of  coffee.  Imports 
of  crude  materials  have  tended  to 
grow  year  by  year  since  1921,  but 
the  increase  in  1925,  no  less  than  38 
per  cent,  was  materially  accentuated 
by  advance  in  prices.  Imports  of 
semi-manufactured  goods  i-ose  by 
17  per  cent,  but  those  of  finished 
manufactures,  which  have  long 
tended  to  become  a  smaller  propor- 
tion of  the  total,  increased  by  only 
5  per  cent. 

The  high  buying  power  of  the 
United  States  in  1925  is  indicated 
by  the  fact  that  most  of  the  major 
individual  articles  of  import  in- 
creased quantitatively  even  when 
higher  prices  had   to  be   paid   for 


them.  Increases,  in  most  cases  ex- 
ceeding 10  per  cent,  and  in  several 
exceeding  25  per  cent,  appeared  in 
silk,  sugar,  rubber,  wool,  paper,  furs, 
hides  and  skins,  wood  pulp,  tobacco, 
tin,  fertilizers,  burlaps,  vegetable 
oils  and  lumber.  A  conspicuous  de- 
cline in  flax-seed  imports  has  taken 
place  during  the  last  two  years  as  the 
result  of  marked  increase  in  pro- 
duction in  this  country. 

Our  imports  from  Oceania  in  1925 
showed  an  increase  of  nearly  60  per 
cent.  Those  from  Asia  rose  nearly 
40  per  cent,  advancing  this  conti- 
nent to  first  place  among  our  sources 
of  supply.  These  great  increases, 
however,  were  in  no  small  part  due 
to  higher  prices  of  articles  from  these 
countries.  The  slight  decrease  in 
our  imports  from  North  America  is 
more  than  explained  by  the  lower 
price  of  sugar.  Imports  from  South 
America  and  Europe  each  rose  by 
about  13  per  cent. 

The  experience  of  1925  has  thus 
been  highly  encouraging  with  respect 
to  the  competitive  ability  of  the 
United  States  in  the  export  of  com- 
modities— particularly  those  in  which 
efficiency  and  enterprise  on  the  part 
of  producers  and  traders  is  able  to 
bring  results — while  the  increase  of 
imports  likewise  furnishes  ground 
for   gratification.      But   the   expe- 


riences of  the  year  have  also  em- 
phasized the  necessity  for  giving 
careful  attention  to  securing  the 
goods  we  need  from  abroad  at 
reasonable  prices.  Although  the 
United  States  is  more  nearly  self- 
sufficient  than  any  other  important 
country,  the  maintenance  of  its  high 
standard  of  living  demands  large 
importation  of  a  number  of  exotic 
commodities.

allurements.     They,    too,    usually 
"go  it  alone." 

It  is  small  wonder,  then,  that  by 
the  time  George  J.  Brown  has  read 
about  California  raisins,  California 
prunes,  California  canned  goods  and 
a  few  other  California  products  in 
his  copy  of  Mr.  Curtis'  weekly  letter 
to  the  American  public,  and  then 
comes  to  several  pages  of  California 
conununity  advertising — it  is  no 
wonder  at  all,  a-s  a  matter  of  fact, 
that  he  wants  to  read  about  the 
country  that  produces  all  these 
much-adverti.'sed  products,  and  that, 
having  nibbled  of  the  fruit  by  re- 
calling what  Aunt  Kmma  said  al)Out 
the  Blossom  Festival,  he  should  be 
so  receptively-minded  that  he  fur- 
tively clips  the  coupon  in  the  corner 
and  the  next  day  at  the  office  sends 
for  details  in  the  form  of  booklets, 
brochures,  maps,  statistics  and  gen- 
eral "complete  information."

California  during  the  coming  year 
will  spend  some  .SI, 063, MO  in  com- 
munity advertising.  The  All- Year 
Club  of  Southern  California  will 
spend  .SSOO.OOO;  the  San  Diego- 
California  Club,  $50,(X)0;  Califor- 
nians.  Inc.,  $400,000;  and  other 
organizations  in  other  cities  smaller 
amounts  which  make  up  the  grand 
total. 

However,  this  is  not  all  that  is 
being  spent  to  advert  isi'  Culifornia. 
A  large  appropriation  is  spr>nt  every 
year  to  advertise  Sun-Maid  Raisins 
(and  California),  .\nother  appro- 
priation advertises  Sunki.st  oranges 
and  lemons  (and  California).  An- 
other appropriation  advertises  Del 
Monte  canned  goods  (and  Califor- 
nia). Still  other  appropriations  ad- 
vertise Sunsweet  prunes  (and  Cali- 
fornia), Diamond  Brand  walnuts 
(and  California),  Meadowbrook 
sports  hats  (and  California),  Cali- 
fornia Mission  orange  juice  (and 
California).  These  accounts  alone 
aggregate  several  millions  to  be 
spent  to  advertise  less  than  a  dozen 
businesses  (and  California!). 

A  recent  compilation  of  the 
national  and  .semi-national  adver- 
tising going  out  of  California  shows 
that  the  total  of  approximatelv 
S9,000,00()  is  being  spent  to  adver- 
tise California  products  (and  Cali- 
fornia). This,  coupled  with  the 
•SI, 063, .500  to  be  spent  this  year  in 
community  advertising,  gives  a 
grand  total  of  over  $10,000,000  that 
will  be  at  work  throughout  the  next 
twelve  months  interesting  the  George 
.1.  Browns  of  Everj-where,  U.  S.  A., 
in  California  products,  California 
communities,  California  resorts — 
and  California  in  general. 

Advertisingly,  no  community  in 
the  entire  country  is  so  fortunate  in 
the  cooperation  which  is  given  it  as 
is  a  community  located  in  this  state. 
For,  backing  up  every  dollar  that  it 
spends,  business  concerns  are  spend- 
ing nine  dollars  to  help  spread  the 
fame  of  the  state  or  some  section 
of  it. 

Conversely,  no  manufacturer,  pro- 
ducer (or  group  of  producers)  is  so 
fortunately  situated  when  he  starts 
to  advertise  as  the  one  who  is  lo- 
cated in  California.  For  community 
advertising,  directly,  and  other  mer- 
cantile advertising,  indirectly,  are 
helping  him — provided  he  "ties-up" 
with  the  word  "California"  in  his 
own  advertising.  Sports  hats  might 
be  made  anywhere.  But  California 
Sports  Hats — ah,  now  you  have  an 
identifying    mark — and    a    mighty 


strong  one.  For  isn't  this  the  land  of 
sunshine  —  of  outdoor  sports  —  of 
year-round  pleasure  resorts?  C^er- 
tainl}'!  Then,  why  shouldn't  it  be 
the  place  where  sports  styles  origi- 
nate? Again — certainly! 

There  is  an  allure — a  fascination 
— about  the  word  "California"  that 
no  California  advertiser  or  prospec- 
tive advertiser  .should  underestimate. 
And  he  is  wise  who  "ties-up"  as 
strongly  as  possible  with  the  magic 
of  this  name.  For  every  dollar  that 
he  spends,  California  as  a  whole  is 
spending  many  dollars  to  build  up  a 
background  that  will  make  his  ad- 
advertising  profitable — where,  fre- 
quently, the  same  amount  spent 
without  this  background  might  not 
pay  its  way.  There  innij  come  a 
time  when  the  California  background 
will  lo.se  its  potency  and  strength. 
But  that  time  is  not  yet!

S.V\  FRANCISCO  BUSIXESS,  JANUARY  13,  192G 


Chamber  is  Represented  at 

Hearings  on  Gooding 

Bill 

SI:TH  MANN,  manager  of  the 
Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce,  left  Saturday  for 
Porthind  and  Washington  to  partici- 
pate in  a  series  of  hearings  which 
will  be  watched  with  interest  by 
shipping  and  commercial  interests 
throughout  the  United  States. 

In  Portland  Mr.  Mann  will  attend 
a  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Traffic  League,  of  which  he  is  presi- 
dent, which  will  be  representative  of 
all  coast  cities  and  which  will  devote 
most  of  its  attention  to  a  considera- 
tion of  national  railroad  legislation, 
particularly  the  Gooding  bill. 

Mr.  Mann's  most  important  mis- 
sion will  be  his  appearance  before 
the  Interstate  Commerce  Committee 
of  the  United  States  Senate,  which  is 
to  hold  a  series  of  hearings  in  Wash- 
ington the  latter  part  of  this  month 
on  the  so-called  Gooding  bill.  This 
bill,  if  passed  by  Congress,  would 
have  what  many  traffic  experts  de- 
scribe as  a  disastrous  effect  upon 
railroad  freight  transportation  ac- 
tivities, particularly  where  the  rail- 
roads are  competing  with  water 
carriers. 


The  bill,  in  brief,  would  prohibit 
railroads  competing  with  intercoastal 
water  carriers  from  charging  a  rate 
to  an  intermediate  point  in  excess  of 
the  rate  imposed  for  a  consignment 
to  a  terminal  point.  This,  it  is 
pointed  out  by  Mann,  would  tend  to 
raise  transcontinental  freight  rates 
both  by  rail  and  water. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  also  has  joined  with  the 
National  Industrial  Traffic  League 
in  the  belief  that  passage  of  the  bill 
would  be  equivalent  to  Congressional 
rate-making  and  would  take  from 
the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis- 
sion its  present  jurisdiction  which 
allows  its  "best  judgment  and  dis- 
cretion in  this  regard." 


Bureau  of  the  Census 

Asks  Co-operation  in 

AssembHng  Data 

THE   Bureau  of  the  Censu.s  is 
now  engaged  in  collecting  the 
data  for  the  biennial  census  of 
manufactures,  which  will  cover  in- 
dustrial operations  during  the  cal- 
endar year  of  1925. 

The  schedules  or  questionnaires 
have  already  been  mailed  to  all  the 


manufacturers.  The  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  very  much  interested 
in  the  success  of  the  census,  which 
will  depend  not  only  on  the  accuracy 
of  the  statistics  but  on  the  prompt- 
ness with  which  they  are  published. 
The  Director  of  the  Census  has 
agreed  to  make  a  tabulation  for  each 
city  within  a  few  weeks  after  the 
receipt  of  the  last  schedule,  properly 
and  accurately  filled  out,  and  to  pub- 
lish the  results  of  this  tabulation  in 
the  form  of  a  preliminary  report. 

At  the  census  of  1923  it  was 
necessary  to  send  more  than  100,000 
letters  to  manufacturers  requesting 
additional  information  or  verifica- 
tion or  correction  of  their  reports. 
This,  of  course,  delayed  considerably 
the  publication  of  the  statistics.  It 
is  highly  important,  therefore,  that 
you  answer  each  question  as  accu- 
rately as  possible  and  that  you  mail 
your  report  promptly  to  the  Bureau 
of  the  Census.

The  Last  Word  in 
Toilet  Paper  Economy 

The  No-Waste  Toilet  Tissue  Cabinet  saves  paper!  It  forces 
economy  on  the  user.  Only  one  double  sheet  at  a  time  can  be 
drawn  from  the  Cabinet  and  the  average  saving  obtained  in 
using  No-Waste  is  from  25' ,    to  35'^;,. 

There  is  no  necessity  for  the  Cabinet  becoming  empty — the  small 
slot  in  front  shows  when  refilling  is  necessary.  After  one-half  or 
more  of  the  package  is  used  up,  a  new  one  may  be  placed  in  the 
Cabinet,  providing  continual  service. 

The  paper,  being  entirely  enclosed  in  the  Cabinet,  is  kept  free 
from  dust,  dirt  and  handling. 

No -Waste  Toilet  Tissue 

is  made  of  clean,  fresh  spruce  pulp;  extremely  soft  finish  and 
highly  absorptive  quality.  The  Cabinet  is  finished  in  nickel 
plate,  white  or  green  enamel.  It  is  readily  attached ;  the  slotted 
screw  holes  in  back  eliminate  the  necessity  of  drilling  new  holes 
when  replacing.

Trade  Council  to  Be  Held  in  San  Francisco 


Noted  Speakers  to  Discuss 
Many  Topics 

Complete  plans  fur  the  fciurth 
annual  convention  of  the  Pacific 
Foreign  Trade  Council,  which  will  be 
held  in  San  Francisco  March  4,  5, 
and  6,  rapidly  are  nearing  comple- 
tion, it  is  announced  by  R.  I.  Bent- 
ley,  chairman  of  the  convention 
committee,  and  Henry  F.  Grady, 
managing  director  of  the  Foreign 
Trade  Bureau  of  the  Chamber. 

Although  still  almost  six  weeks 
distant  the  event,  because  of  its  im- 
portance, is  attracting  wide  atten- 
tion and  it  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
most  representative  gatherings  ever 
held  in  this  city. 

M-\NY    VARIED    TOPICS 

The  .scope  of  the  convention  is  in- 
dicated by  some  of  the  following 
address  subjects:  Agricultural  Prod- 
ucts the  Basis  of  West  Coast  Pros- 
perity; Financing  Pacific  Coast  Ex- 
port Industries  with  Pacific  Coast 
Capital;  Development  of  Inland 
Waterways;  Building  Up  Our  In- 
dustries by  Exporting  the  Finished 
Products  of  Our  Native  Raw  Ma- 
terials; Pacific  Coa.st  Influence  on 
World  Development ;  Banking  Serv- 
ice for  Foreign  Trade;  and  kindred 
topics. 

B.\NQIIET    K    FEATURE 

One  of  the  big  features  of  the  con- 
vention will  be  the  banquet  to  be 
held  Friday  evening,  March  5. 

"The  Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Coun- 
cil is  the  outgrowth  of  a  feeling  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  that  this  section  of 
the  United  States  has  common 
foreign  trade  problems,"  declares 
Grady.  "Its  geographical  po.sition 
in  relation  to  the  rest  of  the  United 
States,  its  coastline  and  hai-bors,  and 
the  rapid  development  of  the  peoples 
in  its  legitimate  trade  area  on  the 
Pacific  are  the  factors  which  have 


THi;  TRAFFIC  BUREAU  of 
the  Chamber  is  advised  that 
the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission has  dismissed  a  complaint 
brought  by  the  Walla  Walla  County 
Farm  Bureau  attacking  the  rates 
on  grain  and  grain  products  frf)m 
points  in  U'ashington  and  Oregon 
south  of  the  Snake  River  to  Port- 
land, Seattle  and  Taciima  and  other 
North  Pacific  ports. 

At  present  the  grain  rates  to  Port- 
land from  the  points  involved  south 
of  the  Snake  River  are  less  than  the 
rates  to  Puget  Sound  ports. 

The  complainant  sought  to  have 
the  Commission  equalize  the  rates 
both  to  Portland  and  Puget  Sound 
ports  so  as  to  place  them  on  a  parity 
in  the  matter  of  rates  as  competitive 
markets. 


crystallized  in  the  minds  of  Pacific 
Coast  producers  and  merchants  the 
de.sirability  of  common,  unified 
action.  Hence  the  slogan  of  the 
Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Council,  'Pa- 
cific Coast  Unity  for  World  Trade 
ExpaiLsion.' 

PBOBLEM.S    SOLVED 

"The  three  meetings  which  have 
been  held  in  past  years  have  (wrought 
the  trade  interests  of  the  Coast  to- 
gether, have  helped  to  visualize  and 
solve  their  foreign  trade  problems, 
have  educated  the  producers  to  the 
necessity  of  foreign  trade  to  Coast 
prosperity,  and  have  enabled  the 
Pacific  Coast  cities  to  get  behind 
Federal  legislation  beneficial  to  the 
Coast  in  a  unified  way.  One  form  of 
this  ha,s  been  united  Coast  action  on 
rivers  and  harbors  development ;  an- 
other has  been  on  trans-Pacific  radio 
cormnunication ;  and  still  another, 
on  the  amendments  to  the  China 
Trade  Act." 


New  Steamer  Service 
Put  Into  Effect 

In  order  to  acconniiodate  the  e\'pr 
expanding  coastwise  traffic  handled 
out  of  San  Francisco  a  new  pa,ssen- 
ger  and  freight  service  is  announced 
between  San  Francisco  and  Port 
San  Luis.  The  president  of  the 
White  Flyer  Line,  James  K.  Nelson, 
has  assigned  the  steamer  San  Juan, 
formerly  of  the  Pacific  Mail,  to  this 
service.  The  San  .Juan  left  San 
Francisco  for  its  first  trip  to  San 
Luis  last  week.  It  was  met  at  Port 
San  Luis  by  a  large  delegation  of 
San  Luis  ()bispo  city  and  county 
officials,  merchants  and  manufac- 
turers, who  were  entertained  at  a 
luncheon  aboard  the  steamer.  The 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce was  represented  by  Ralph  J. 
Scanlan  of  the  Foreign  and  Domestic 
Trade  Department.  The  Oakland 
Chamber  of  Commerce  also  was 
represented. 

The  San  Juan  will  call  at  Port  San 
Luis  three  times  a  week  on  its  regu- 
lar route  between  San  Francisco  and 
Los  Angeles. 


Revenue  Freight  Loads 
Show  Big  Increase 

"Loading  of  revenue  freight  for 
the  week  ended  January  2  amounted 
to  741,239  cars,"  says  the  car  .service 
division  of  the  American  Railway 
Association. 

This  was  a  decrease  of  25,859 
under  the  corresponding  week  in 
1925  but  an  increase  of  34,947  over 
the  corresponding  week  in  1924. 
The  total  for  the  week  of  January  2 
also  was  an  increa.se  of  40,160  cars 
over  the  preceding  week,  when  load- 
ings for  both  weeks  were  materially 
reduced  due  to  the  observance 
of  Christmas  and  New  Year  holi- 
days.

What  a  Chamber 
of  Commerce 
Does  for  a 
Community 


F  any  one  should  happen 
to  ask  you  why  he  slioukl 
join  this  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  tell  him  these 
things,  and  in  the  telling 
.  Miay  yourself  discover  a  little 
hulilen  treasure. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  organized  primarily  to 
further  the  advancement  and  pros- 
perity of  the  city  as  a  whole.  It  is 
the  official  mouthpiece  of  San  Fran- 
cisco and  the  clearing  house  for  busi- 
ness and  trade.  The  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  San  Francisco  Chamber 
of  Commerce  are  constantly  weigh- 
ing matters  affecting  the  welfare  of 
this  city,  rejecting  those  which  are 
harmful  and  fostering  those  which 
are  good.  It  is  the  largest  public 
body  and  is  the  watch-dog  of  your 
interests.  Without  it  many  evils  and 
practices  would  soon  become  appar- 
ent. It  is  a  necessary  and  vital  key- 
stone supported  by  the  best  and 
most  reliable  citizens. 

In  addition  to  these  broad  func- 
tions which  affect  you  and  every 
citizen,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  several  distinct  and  well-defined 
services  to  offer,  any  one  of  which,  if 
properly  used,  will  return  your  in- 
vestment in  membership  many 
times.

•  ing  your  business  into  foreign 

fields,  we  have  a  Foreign  Trade  De- 


Hear  HENRY  S.  IVES  on 

"  Government  in  Business  " 

HENRY  SWIFT  IVIiS,  .secretary  of  the  Casualty  In- 
formatioa  Clearing  House  of  Chicago,  will  deliver 
an  address  before  a  joint  luncheon  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  San  Francisco  Com- 
mercial Club,  on  Thursflay,  February  4.    His  subject  is 
"Government  in  Easiness." 

A  speaker  of  nation-wide  repute,  Mr.  Ives'  views  on 
"Government  in  Business"  coincide  with  those  of  Presi- 
dent Coolidge,  who  says:  "When  government  enters  the 
field  of  business  with  its  great  resources,  it  has  a  ten- 
dency to  extravagance  and  inefficiency,  but  having  the 
power  to  crush  all  competitors,  likewise  closes  the  door  of 
opportunity  and  results  in  monopoly." 

Mr.  Ives  has  addressed  many  of  the  largest  industrial  and  business  organi- 
zations in  the  country  on  the  above  subject,  and  his  utterances  have  been  widely 
published  in  the  press.  Among  the  organizations  which  .Mr.  Ives  has  addressed 
are  the  Ohio  Bar  -Association,  National  Electric  Light  Association,  Chicago 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  the  Insurance  Federation  of  America. 


partment  which  is  second  to  none  in 
the  United  States.  Through  the 
efforts  of  the  Foreign  Trade  Depart- 
ment, San  Francisco  now  has  more 
foreign  consulates  represented  here 
than  any  other  city  in  the  United 
States  with  the  exception  of  Xew 
York  and  Philadelphia.  The  loca- 
tion of  these  consulates  here  stimu- 
lates and  encourages  trade.  This 
department  issues  a  directory  which 
goes  to  even,'  consulate  throughout 
the  world,  listing  the  membership  of 
the  Chamber  and  the  commodities 
which  they  handle. 

■O  The  Chamber  of  Commerce 
^'  maintains  a  "Commodity  In- 
dex" in  which  every  member  is  listed, 
together  with  the  articles  he  han- 
dles. Inquiriescomeinto  the  Chamber 
from  all  over  the  United  States  ask- 
ing to  be  put  in  touch  with  reliable 
concernshandlingcommodities  which 
are  sought  for.  Through  this  clearing 


house,  if  you  are  a  member  of  the 
Chamber,  your  name  goes  to  the 
person  inquiring,  should  he  inquire 
for  the  article  you  haniile,  and 
automatically  a  contact  is  formed. 
"2  The  Chamber  of  Commerce  is- 
*^*  sues  a  weekly  publication  which 
goes  to  all  members,  containing 
leads  for  new  business  and  trade 
tips,  which,  if  properly  utihzed,  will 
put  you  in  touch  with  new  customers 
and  form  new  business  contacts, 
which  will  result  in  additional 
revenue  for  you.  Through  one  item 
in  trade  tips,  a  certain  concern  in 
San  Francisco  developed  §160,000 
worth  of  business,  netting  a  nice 
profit. 

A  In  April  of  this  year,  the  Cham- 
'  •  ber  of  Commerce  will  issue  an 
annual  Year  Book,  containing  a 
classified  hsting  of  all  members  in 
good  standing  as  of  March  1st.  This

:^AN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JANfAKV 


Survey  Shows  1926  to  be 
a  "Good  Year" 

Business  in  jifft^ral  started  out 
thp  year  satisfactorily  with  consider- 
able momentuni  fi-oin  the  preced- 
ing months,  and  with  prospects 
favorable  in  face  of  moderate  in- 
flation due  to  a  steady  upward 
swing,  according  to  a  survey  pre- 
pared l)y  1{.  G.  Dun  &  Company. 
,lobl)ers  are  still  working  on  inven- 
tories, filling  more  orders  for  winter 
goods,  and  booking  orders  for  spring. 
Comlitioris  in  millinery  are  more 
stabilized  and  country  buying  Ijetter 
than  one  year  ago.  the  report  says. 

Offerings  at  retail  show  a  disposi- 
tion to  reduce  stf)cks,  and  season 
settlements  with  jobbers  are  show- 
ing up  well,  allowing  reductions  in 
loans  at  bank. 

Cold  weather  has  stimulated  buy- 
ing in  some  lines,  but  no  serious  frost 
damage  has  been  reported. 

A  fair  amount  of  building  con- 
tinues, and  improved  conditions  are 
noted  for  the  lumber  industry,  due 
in  part  to  a  better  demand  from  the 
east  coast  and  Florida. 

Authorities  agree  that  1926  should 
be  a  good  year,  and  some  expect 
business  to  outstrip  1925,  but  not 
without  concentrated  effort  to  get 
it  and  to  keep  down  f>verhead 
charges.

iiip.k's  a  distinction  he- 
twi-pn  being  classified  as 
,1  iiiaiuifacturer's  agent, 
a  ri  insult  ins  engineer  or 
an  inijxiitor. 

It  is  not  enough  merely  to  say 
that  you  are  a  gardener;  you  should 
make  it  clear  whether  you  are  a  land- 
scape, flower  and  lawn  or  truck 
gardener. 

The  product  being  offered  for  sale 
by  the  manufacturer's  agent  is  the 
information  required  by  the  buyer 
seeking  that  specific  article  or  line. 

To  identify  yourself  as  a  cohsult- 
ing  engineer  is  too  general  a  descrip- 
tion. If  you  are  specific  you  identify 
yourself  as  an  electrical,  mechanical 
or  hydraulic  engineer.  It  means 
more  business  when  you  make  it 
clear  that  you  are  an  engineer  spe- 
cializing in  power  transmission  and 
that  you  therefore  are  not  even  re- 
motely to  be  considered  a  steam 
locomotive  engineer. 

A  firm  specializing  in  the  impor- 
tation of  Venetian  glassware,  to  go 
further,  is  losing  revenue  when  it  is 
identified  in  the  mind  of  the  buying 
public  merely  as  a  "glass  importer." 

A  trade  directory  now  being  com- 
piled by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
is  to  be  an  up-to-date,  definite  classi- 
fication of  the  chamber  membership 
— an  adequate  description  of  the 
liusinesses  engaged  in  by  the  mem- 
bers. The  trade  possibilities  in  such 
a  directory  are  incalculable.  It  will 
make  possible  immediate  and  intel- 
ligent contact  between  the  producer 
and  the  consumer.

Free  Service  Bureau  for  Trade 
Council  Delegates 

Delegates  attending  the  fourth 
annual  convention  of  the  Pacific 
Foreign  Trade  Council  to  he  held  in 
San  Francisco  March  4,  5  and  6,  will 
find  available  the  services  of  widely 
known  trade  advisors,  it  was  an- 
nounced yesterday  by  Henry  F. 
Grady,  in  charge  of  the  Foreign 
Trade  Department  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  and  secretary  of  the 
convention  committee. 

"The  trade-advisor  service  of  the 
convention,"  Grady  said,  "is  proving 
to  be  a  most  attractive  one  to  pros- 
pective delegates. 

"The  'key  men'  in  the  various 
trades  along  the  coast  are  giving 
their  services  freely  as  advisors  to 
the  delegates.  In  other  words,  the 
exporter  of  some  manufactured  ar- 
ticle seeking  to  develop  a  market  in 
China  will  be  able  to  secure  the 
advice  of  experts  in  methods  of  se- 
curing proper  agents,  advertising, 
financing,  or  any  other  detail  of 
successful  selling  in  the  China 
market. 

"Likewise  for  Mexico  or  Central 
America.  The  importer  will  also  be 
able  to  have  invaluable  advice  given 
him  by  experts  in  the  particular 
trades,  such  as  rice,  beans,  coffee, 
etc.  The  assistance  that  can  be  se- 
cured in  this  way  by  the  delegate  to 
the  convention  would  cost  him 
thousands  of  dollars  if  he  had  to 
employ  it. 

"All  the  cities  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
are  co-operating  in  making  this 
trade-advisor  service  a  success.  This 
has  been  one  of  the  outstanding  fea- 
tures of  every  foreign  trade  con- 
vention, and  many  delegates  en- 
rolled for  these  conventions  pri- 
marily for  the  practical,  direct 
assistance  which  they  can  secure." 


National  Business  Show 
for  This  City 

Another  phase  of  the  manufactur- 
ing progress  of  the  bay  district,  as 
well  as  the  inventiveness  of  this 
locality's  office  efficiencj-  experts,  will 
be  drawn  to  the  notice  of  the  na- 
tion's commercial  leaders  thiough 
the  National  Business  Show,  to  be 
held  in  the  Civic  Auditorium  March 
8  and  9. 

Waldo  T.  Tupper,  Pacific  Coast 
manager,  emphasized  this  aspect  of 
the  show  when  he  said  he  had  assur- 
ance that  a  gi'eater  gathering  of 
business  scientists  may  be  expected 
at  the  forthcoming  efficiency  expo- 
sition than  attended  the  show  when 
it  was  held  here  on  two  previous 
occasions. 

Recently  returned  from  Chicago 
and  New  York,  where  he  helped  to 
plan  and  stage  such  expositions,  he 
said  he  had  assurance  from  scores 
of  executives  and  heads  of  big  busi- 
ness concerns  that  they  will  attend. 

In  addition  to  the  display  of  Cali- 
fornia progress,  the  office  machines, 
systems  and  methods  of  the  nation 
are  expected  to  be  revealed  by  the 
event. 

Frank  Tupper,  president  of  the 
National  Business  Show  organiza- 
tion, is  expected  within  a  few  days  to 
join  his  ncjihew.  the  other  Tupper, 
to  further  the  progress  of  the  show. 
Headquarters  for  the  exposition  have 
been  established  in  the  Monadnock 
Building. 

While  much  of  the  booth  space 
has  been  assigned  to  Eastern  or  na- 
tional manufacturing  concerns,  Tup- 
per yesterday  reported  a  rapid  turn- 
over of  display  areas  to  the  local 
industries.

"What's  Your  Business?" 

i  cntinun)  fron,  pait.-  I  ] 

If  an  ICa-sUTn  liuycr  asks  the  In- 
dustrial DcpartnuMit  of  the  Chanifjer 
for  the  name  of  a  finii  or  individual 
doalinp  in  metal  fittings  but  more 
partieularly  in  a  certain  make  or 
kind  of  fauoet,  the  Industrial  De- 
partment can  meet  the  (luery  com- 
[X'tently  and  promptly. 

It  is  necessary,  however,  for  the 
memliers  to  co-o|K'rate  in  the  prepa- 
ration of  thi.s  important  trade  di- 
rectory. The  compilation  of  this 
directory  is  being  supervised  by 
L.  M.  Hyslop.  statistician  of  the 
Industrial  Department. 

When  you  send  in  your  firm  or 
individual  name  for  classification 
see  that  it  is  accompanied  by  what- 
ever literature  —  pamphlets,  circu- 
lars, etc. — you  have  that  will  make 
clear  just  what  particular  commod- 
ities you  deal  in  or  the  kind  of  serv- 
ice you  are  selling. 

January  Business  Still 
On  Up-grade 

Bank  clearings,  building  permits 
and  ship  movements  during  January 
increased  perceptibly  over  the  same 
period  in  192.)  and  give  body  to  the 
prediction  of  observers  that  this  will 
l)e  a  year  of  progress  and  expansion 
for  the  San  Francisco  metropolitan 
area,  according  to  figures  on  file 
today  at  the  ( "hamber  of  Commerce. 

Building  permits  alone  last  month 
aggregated  §5,1.53,504  as  compared 
with  S.3.4(«.623  during  January 
1925.  In  similar  periods  respectively 
for  1923  and  1924  the  registration 
amounted  to  $3,205,811  and  -<«,- 
178,413. 

The  bank  clearings  last  month  are 
etiually  impressive.  During  January, 
1925,  they  amounted  to  .?764,30d,- 
000;  for  the  month  just  ended  they 
reached  a  convincing  total  of  $83l'-

LEADS /or  NEW  BUSINESS 


A  new  firm  entering  a  new  territory  must  make 
new  friends,  and  established  firms  have  a  chance  of 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  new- 
comers if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce.  It  is  a  compilation  of  the  names  of 
new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  from  many  sources.  It  is  released  vdth- 
out  specific  check-up,  as  firms  generally  prefer  to 
investigate  for  themselves  without  waiting  for  de- 
tailed verification.  In  addition  to  new  concerns  the 
list  includes  reports  of  removals  and  expansions. 

Business  men  can  enhance  the  value  of  this  serv-

The  GREATEST  Summer  Travel  BARGAIN

CIRCLE  THE  UNITED  STATES 

In  One  Qlorious  Vacation  Trip 
LOW  SUMMER  EXCURSION  EARE 


No  other  trip  in  all  the  world  offers  so  much 
for  such  small  cost. 

It  will  take  you  over  your  own  country  from 
ocean  to  ocean,  from  northern  to  southern 
border  and  show  you  its  beauties,  its  moun- 
tains, its  rivers,  its  lakes.  You  will  see  the  most 
famous  national  parks,  the  largest  and  most 
colorful  cities. 

California 

In  California  you  see  San  Francisco,  Oak- 
land, the  Golden  Gate,— side  trips  to  Lake 
Tahoeand  Yosemite  National  Park— the  San 
Joaquin  and  other  beautiful  valleys  as  you  travel 
southward,  the  coast  line  iOO  miles  along  the 
ocean,  Santa  Barbara,  Los  Angeles,  Pasadena, 
Hollywood,  the  beaches  and  the  inoun tains,  the 
orange  groves  and  old  missions. 

Go  on  to  San  Diego  and  thence  over  the  Car- 
riso  Gorge  to  Phoenix,  the  Apache  Trail,  the 
Roosevelt  Dam,  Tucson. 

El  Paso  offers  a  sidctrip  into  old  Mexico, 
Juarez  being  just  across  the  Rio  Grande.  Then 
San  Antonio,  Houston,  New  Orleans — cities  full 
of  romance  and  beauty. 

At  Sea 

A  palatial  ocean  liner  carries  you  for  100  glor- 
ious hours  down  the  Mississippi,  through  the 
Gulf  of  Mexico  and  northward  on  the  Atlantic 
to  New  Y'ork. 

From  there  you  may  enjoy  sidetrips  to  Bos- 
ton, Philadelphia,  Washington  and  Atlantic 
City. 

Westward  you  may  go  through  beautiful  New 
York  State  to  Albany,  Buffalo,  Niagara  Falls,  a 
trip  through  Canada,  and  then  Detroit  and 
Chicago.  Here  are  the  Great  Lakes  with  all 
their  summer  fun. 

Milwaukee  and   Madison,   Minneapolis  and 


St.   Paul— then  you   may  continue  westward 
through  the  United  States  or  Canada. 

The  former  route  takes  you  through  North 
Dakota,  Montana— a  sidetrip  to  Yellowstone 
Park— and  Idaho  to  Spokane  and  Seattle.  The 
latter  allows  you  to  visit  Winnipeg,  Lake  Louise, 
Banff,  Jasper  National  Park,  Mt.  Rohson,  Van- 
couver and  Victoria  before  arriving  at  Seattle. 

Then  Puget  .Sound,  Tacoma— a  sidetrip  to 
Mt.  Rainier  .National  Park— the  great  valley  of 
the  C;olumbia  River,  Portland  and  the  green 
Oregon  Country.  In  Oregon  is  Crater  Lake. 
Then  southward  through  verdant  valleys  and 
over  tall  mountain  ranges  to  Sacramento  and 
San  Francisco. 

Here  is  the  trip  of  all  trips.  No  matter  where 
you  live  or  from  where  you  wish  to  start  you 
may  connect  with  trains  which  will  carry  you 
over  the  Big  Circle  Trip. 

Low  Summer  Fares 

Early  in  Spring  the  low  summer  roundtrip 
fares  for  1926  will  be  announced.  You'll  be 
amazed  at  the  Big  Circle  Fare.  And  it  costs  but 
little  more  than  the  summer  roundtrip  fare 
from  .San  Francisco  to  New  York.  Yet  how- 
much  more  you  see— what  an  amazing  bargain. 

Plan  now  for  this  inost  wonderful  of  all  your 
vacations.  Make  this  summer  a  liberal  educa- 
tion for  your  children  and  yourselves. 

Ask  your  local  ticket  agent  to  give  you  the 
literature  covering  this  tour  of  the  United 
States.  See  America  First— and  see  it  in  this 
easy,  comfortable  convenient  way. 

The  finest  trains  are  at  your  service.  You  will 
enjoy  the  most  luxurious  travel  and  the  cost 
will  compare  favorably  with  any  travel  vacation 
you  could  take.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  FEBRUARY  10,  1926 


Oamerica's  rinest  Steamship 


The  La§l  Word  in  Ocean  Palaces  Will  Be  the  f^lew  $6,^00,000  Liner  ''Malolo' 


'NE  of  the  most  signifi- 
cant events  in  the  history 
of  shipbuilding  in  the 
United  States  is  marked 
by  the  construction  at 
Cramp's  Shipyard,  Philadelphia,  of 
the  Matson  Navigation  Company's 
new  liner,  the  Malolo,  which  is  to  be 
the  largest  and  fastest  high-powered 
passenger  steamer  ever  built  on  this 
side  of  the  Atlantic. 

The  displacement  of  the  Malolo 
(Hawaiian  for  flying  fish)  will  be 
22,000  tons.  She  will  be  582  feet 
long,  and  her  beam  of  83  feet  will  be 
only  five  feet  less  than  that  of  the 
Mauretania.  The  huge  smokestacks 
of  the  vessel  would  rise  above  a 
fourteen-story  building,  while  her 
anchors,  weighing  seven  tons  apiece, 
would  be  six  stories  above  the  pave- 
ment. 

Electric  Lights  for  a  City 
of  6,000 

The  ship's  electric  lighting  plant 
will  be  equivalent  to  that  of  a  city 
of  6,000  people,  and  her  pumping 
system  will  equal  the  waterworks 
of  a  city  of  nearly  2,000,000.    The 


fuel  tanks  will  have  a  capacity  of 
4,590  tons  of  oil — enough  fuel  to 
run  a  small  automobile  for  350  years, 
driving  from  sunrise  to  sunset,  dur- 
ing which  time  the  car  would  cover 
a  distance  of  23,460,000  miles  or  880 
times  around  the  earth. 

160  Private  Baths  and 
274  Staterooms 

The  lu.xury  of  the  vessel's  appoint- 
ments will  be  in  keeping  with  her 
size.  Six  hundred  passengers — all 
first  class — will  be  accommodated  in 
274  staterooms.  There  will  be  160 
private  baths — more  than  on  any 
other  passenger  steamer  afloat.  On 
"A"  deck  will  be  located  the  ball- 
room, lounge,  library,  smoking  room, 
and  veranda;  all  connected  on  the 
port  side  by  spacious  foyers  and 
galleries. 

The  main  dining  room  will  extend 
the  full  breadth  of  the  ship  and  will 
be  108  feet  long.  At  its  forward  end 
will  be  two  alcove  coffee  rooms  suit- 
able for  use  as  auxiliary  dining 
rooms,  or  for  private  dinner  parties. 
A   gymnasium,   a   swimming  pool, 


and  electric  baths  will  be  provided. 
A  complete  system  of  mechanical 
ventilation  will  be  installed. 

In  the  design  of  the  Malolo  all  the 
requirements  have  been  met  which 
are  necessary  for  the  conversion  of 
the  ship  into  an  auxiliary  cruiser  or 
troop  transport  in  a  time  of  national 
emergency.  Extra  water-tight  bulk- 
heads will  be  installed  which  will

Will  Clip  Four  Days  from 
Present  Schedule 

The  Malolo  will  be  launched  this 
coming  spring  and  when  completed 
in  the  spring  of  1927  will  be  placed 
on  the  San  Francisco-Honolulu  run, 
where  her  sustained  sea  speed  of  22 
knots  an  hour  will  enable  her  to  clip 
four  days  from  the  round-trip  time 
made  by  the  fastest  vessel  now  ply- 
ing between  the  two  ports.  The  total 
cost  of  this  newest  addition  to  the 
American  merchant  marine  will  be 
$6,500,000.

CURRENT  EVENTS  IN  WASHINGTON 

'By  C.  B.  DODDS,  'Hfpresentative  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 


\  DMIKAL  MOFFATT,  Chief  of  the 
■^  Bureau  of  Aeronautics  of  the 
Navj',  has  asl^ed  Congre.ss  for  au- 
thority to  build  a  Hghter-than-air 
base  on  the  Pacific  Coa.st.  It  is 
believed  he  has  in  mind  a  site  near 
San  Francisco. 

TT  has  been  revealpil  that  Professor 
Milliken  of  tlie  Cahfornia  Insti- 
tute of  Technoloftj'  has  been  on  the 
advisory  committee  planning  the  all- 
metal  dirigible  suggested  as  an  ex- 
perimental ship  to  test  this  new  type 
of  construction.  It  is  also  under- 
stood that  there  are  California  men 
ready  to  invest  their  money  in  an 
all-metal  dirigil)le  factory  anri  that 
their  plans  contemplate  placing  one 
of  these  ships  on  the  run  between 
San  Francisco  and  Honolulu.  Much, 
of  course,  will  depend  upon  the  re- 
sults obtained  in  the  experiments 
with  the  smaller  dirigible  proposed 
for  the  Na\y. 

/Commissioner  Philip  S.  Teller 
^  of  the  Shipping  Board  is  well 
liked  by  everyone  with  whom  he  has 
come  in  contact  since  coming  to 
Washington,  and  it  is  believed  he  will 
add  considerable  strength  to  the 
Shipping  Board. 

"TjEPARTMENT     OF      AgRICDLTUEE 

plans  for  the  establishment  of 
the  new  Forest  Experiment  Sta- 
tion in  California  were  made  known 
when  Colonel  Greeley,  the  Forester, 
testified  before  the  House  Appro- 
priations Committee.  He  said  it  was 
his  plan  to  place  the  main  station  at 
Berkeley,  in  rooms  to  be  furnished 
by  the  University  of  California,  and 
to  establish  field  branches,  one  some 
place  in  the  redwood  district  of 
Northern  California  and  another  in 
the  southern  part  of  the  state,  which 
will  deal  more  particularly  with  fire 


prevention  and  maintaining  vegeta- 
tion on  the  watersheds.  It  is  planned 
to  expend  S50.000  or  more  a  year  in 
this  work  in  the  future  in  California, 
which  is  more  than  is  now  being 
spent  in  any  other  state.  For  the 
next  fiscal  year  the  House  has  al- 
ready appropriated  S30,000. 

TThe  tisLvy  has  estimated  that 
its  cruise  last  year  to  Australia 
cost  only  S515,000  over  and  above 
what  the  normal  expenses  would 
have  been  had  the  cruise  not 
been  undertaken.  In  commenting 
on  this  fact,  the  Commander-in-Chief 
said:  "It  was  a  military  accomplish- 
ment of  great  value."

IV/Trs.  K.\hn.  the  California  mem- 
ber  of  the  House  Census  Com- 
mittee, believes  the  reapportionment 
bill  has  an  excellent  chance  of  being 
passed  at  least  by  the  House  at  this 
session.  California  will  gain  three 
new  members  if  the  Barbour  Bill  is 
passed,  w'hich  provides  for  no  in- 
crease in  the  membership  of  the 
House.  If  another  bill  pending  is 
passed,  which  provides  for  the  main- 
tenance of  the  representation  quota 
as  it  now  stands  and  which  increases 
the  size  of  the  House  to  465  mem- 
bers, from  435,  California  would  gain 
five  members.  Under  the  California 
law,  the  State  Legislature  would 
have  to  reapportion  Congressional 
districts  before  the  new  members 
could  be  elected,  in  the  view  of  Con- 
gressman Curry  of  Sacramento. 

YX/"hex  California  lost  the  com- 
'  '  munity  property  case  all  the 
other  community  property  states  lost 
likewise,  in  the  view  of  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Internal  Revenue.  He  has 
a  staff  of  clerks  at  work  now  cheek- 
ing over  the  entire  tax  roll  from  each 
state  and  is  asking  taxpayers  to  sign 


waivers  against  the  running  of  the 
statute  of  limitations.  In  those  cases 
where  waivers  are  refused,  additional 
assessments  are  being  levied.

HPhe  National  Park  Service  has 
■'-  abandoned  its  plans  for  the  pres- 
ent session  of  Congress  to  increase 
the  size  of  the  Roosevelt-Sequoia 
National  Park  from  252  square  miles 
to  900  square  miles.  The  area  in- 
tended to  be  included  carries  some 
of  the  best  power  sites  in  the  state 
and  San  Joaquin  Valley  irrigation- 
ists  would  be  very  much  displeased 
if  these  sites  were  taken  into  the 
National  Park  .system  and  put  to  no 
use,  under  the  plea  that  our  Na- 
tional Parks  must  not  be  desecrated 
through  commercialism.  The  city  of 
Los  Angeles  is  also  after  these  sites 
for  municipal  power.  Thej'  have 
been  turned  down  by  the  Federal 
Power  Commission. 

'T'he  Rivers  and  Harbors  Board  has 
recently  approved  an  Hawaiian 
project  in  which  San  Francisco  con- 
cerns are  interested.  This  is  the  har- 
bor of  Kahului  on  the  island  of 
Maui.  The  improvements  projected 
include  extension  of  the  present 
breakwaters  and  dredging.  These 
improvements  were  necessary  so  that 
ocean-going  steamers  from  San  Fran- 
cisco could  go  up  to  the  dock  at 
Kahului  and  take  on  cargoes  of  pine- 
apple and  sugar. 

XJearixgs  have  been  held  lately  by 
the  House  Immigration  Com- 
mittee on  the  Box  Bill,  to  put  Cana- 
dian and  Mexican  immigrants  on  a 
quota  basis  with  Europeans.  Cali- 
fornia interests  appeared  protesting 
against  this  measure  on  the  ground 
that  Mexican  labor  was  needed  to

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  FEBRUARY  10,  1926 


The  Port  Chart  Tells  the  0  tory 


0  any  city  whose  wel- 
fare, like  that  of  San 
Francisco,  is  to  a  large 
extent  dependent  upon 
maritime  commerce,  the 
nautical  chart  of  the  port,  as  pub- 
lished during  successive  decades, 
affords  an  interesting  subject  for 
study.  That  chart,  to  serve  its  pur- 
pose adequately,  must  be  Icept  cor- 
rected to  show  the  changes  incident 
to  the  growth  of  the  port,  and  in 
consequence  as  the  years  pass,  ex- 
amination of  a  file  of  the  successive 
editions  of  any  harbor  chart  gives  an 
immediate  birdseye  view  of  the  city's 
evolution  probably  with  greater 
readiness  than  can  be  obtamed  in 
any  other  way. 

This  is  particularly  true  of  the 
communities  on  the  Pacific  Coast, 
whose  developments  have  been  con- 
summated so  largely  within  the  life- 
time of  people  still  living,  and  in  no 
case  is  it  more  strikingly  exempli- 
fied than  in  that  of  San  Francisco. 

THE  Coast  and  Geodetic  Sur- 
vey came  to  California  ahead 
of  the  Forty-niners.  In  1848 
its  first  expeditions  set  out  from  the 
eastern  seaboard;  some  taking  the 
route  across  the  isthmus,  while 
another,  in  the  Survey  schooner 
Ewing,  followed  the  all-water  route 
via  the  Straits  of  Magellan.  The 
former  parties  probably  reached 
Cahfornia  late  in  1848,  while  the 
Ewirig  reached  San  Francisco  Bay 
the  following  summer. 

The  surveys  which  were  imme- 
diately begun  exhibit  a  striking  con- 
trast to  the  situation  which  the  vis- 
itor finds  today.  The  San  Francisco 
of  that  day  extended  from  North 
Beach  to  Rinoon  Point,  and  had  a 
width  of  only  eight  to  ten  blocks 
back  from  the  waterfront.  Oakland 
consisted  of  a  single  street  leading 
down  to  the  wharf  on  San  Antonio 
Creek,  and  bordered  by  a  dozen 
scattered  houses.  It  was  1855  before 
the  surveys  reached  the  town-site 
of  Alameda,  which  by  that  time  had 
assumed  the  proportions  of  a  small 
village.  Berkeley,  in  1852,  was  oc- 
cupied by  a  few  widely  separated 
farmhouses,  but  had  not  yet  at- 
tained to  the  dignity  of  a  name 
which  the  surveyor  could  include  on 
his  map.  Across  the  bay,  Sausalito 
(it  is  Saucilito  on  the  first  survey  in 
1850)  consisted  of  a  small  cluster  of 
houses  in  the  valley,  but  streets  ap- 
parently had  not  then  been  laid  out. 


By  COL.  E.  LESTER  JONES, 

'Director  U.  S.  Coast  and  Geodetic 
Surrey 


From  these  small  beginnings  the 
Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey  has 
watched  and  recorded  the  growth 
of  the  succession  of  communities 
which  encircle  the  bay;  communi- 
ties which  today  constitute  one  unit 
in  everything  except  corporate  or- 
ganization, and  which,  if  combined 
into  a  "Greater  San  Francisco,"  as 
has  been  done  in  the  case  of  New 
York,  would  make  it  the  metropohs 
of  the  Pacific  Coast. 

THE  Coast  and  Geodetic  Sur- 
vey has  been  much  more  than 
a    passive    spectator    of    this 
growth.    Its  work  has  been  one  of 


the  contributing  factors  which  have 
made  the  development  possible.  San 
Francisco  has  developed  chiefly  be- 
cause its  geographic  situation  makes 
it  the  logical  center  of  a  vast  web 
of  commercial  intercourse  whose 
threads  extend,  on  the  one  hand, 
to  every  city  of  the  United  States, 
and  on  the  other  to  ports  through- 
out the  seven  seas.  Had  there  not 
been  some  agency  to  safeguard  the 
paths  of  that  part  of  the  commerce 
which  is  carried  in  ships,  to  seek  out 
the  hidden  dangers  in  order  that 
others  might  avoid  them,  the  devel- 
opment of  San  Francisco  could  not 
so  readily  have  attained  to  its  pres- 
ent impressive  extent. 

Many  Lives  and  Untold 
Millions  of  Dollars  Saved 

It  is  difficult  to  find  a  concrete 
measure  of  the  extent  to  which  the 
Coast  Survey  chart  has  served  San 
Francisco,  partly  because  that  serv- 
ice is  indirect  and  preventive,  and 
partly  because  it  has  usually  been 
rendered  in  advance  of  the  need  for 
it.  It  is  a  simple  matter  to  sum  up 
the  number  of  lives  which  our  Coast 
Guard  has  saved  from  stranded  ves- 
sels, but  no  one  can  attempt  to  esti- 
mate the  number  which  the  Coast 
Survey  has  preserved  by  charting 
the  dangers  and  thus  preventing 
vessels  from  disaster  on  them.  We 
can  make  only  the  roughest  estimate 
of  the  millions  of  dollars  of  insurance 
which  have  been  saved  to  shippers 
as  a  result  of  surveys  which  the 
insurance  companies  accept  as  justi- 
ficijtion  for  a  reduction  in  their 
rates.  It  was  stated  to  me  recently 
that  a  single  steamship  company 
operating  between  United  States  and 
Alaskan  ports  had  profited  during 
the  past  year  to  the  extent  of  more 
than  a  hundred  thousand  dollars 
through  reductions  in  insurance 
rates  resulting  from  better  surveys 
and  charts  of  the  territory.  Alaska 
is  not  San  Francisco,  yet  the  state- 
ment is  of  interest  here  for  two  rea- 
sons: first,  because  San  Francisco 
has  such  unpressive  financial  inter- 
ests in  Alaska  that  anything  which 
either  facilitates  or  retards  the  de- 
velopment of  that  territory  is  of 
direct  concern  to  the  city;  and 
second,  because  the  effort  which  has 
produced  this  gratifying  result  is 
identical  in  kind  with  that  which 
during  the  past  ten  years  has  been

<SMore  /ibout  the  Credit  ^ 


usiness 


'By  A.  McKIE  DONNAN,  Illunrated  by  Benjamin  Franklin 


ELVING,  without  undue 
diligence,  into  the  manu- 
scripts of  the  ancients, 
this  writer  finds  the 
carhest  protest  against 
charge  accounts  in  the  words  of 
Omar,  the  youth  who  yearned  for 
jugs  of  wine  beneath  boughs,  etc., 
and  who  is  quoted  as  having  posted 
in  his  phico  of  business  words  to  this 
effect,  "Take  the  cash  and  let  the 
credit  go." 

Passing  through  the  ages  to  that 
medieval  time  known  as  Ye  Gyde 
Olde  Daze,  we  run  across  the  anec- 
dote (the  truth  of  wliich  this  writer 
does  not  guarantee)  running  as  fol- 
lows: A  bartender  yelled  from  the 
foot  of  the  stairs  to  his  boss,  who 
lived  with  his  family  of  little  ones 
upstairs,  "Shall  I  trust  Pat  Hooli- 
han  for  a  drink?"  The  answer  came 
back,  also  in  question  form,  "Has 
he  had  it  or  hasn't  he?"  The  reply 
was,  "He  has."  To  which  the  wily 
boss  replied,  "Then,  trust  him." 

All  of  which  leads  up  to  the  ques- 
tion, Is  this  credit  business  all  that 
its  advocates  claim  that  it  is,  or,  as 
its  enemies  aver,  is  it  one  more 
step  towards  the  ruination  of  an 
otherwise  quite  satisfactory  modern 
civilization?  The  writer  has  no 
opinions.  He  merely  wants  to  know. 
Therefore  this  public  questionnaire. 

This  One  Says  Debts  Develop 
Earning  Power 

One  strong  booster  of  the  credit 
business  (naming  no  names,  but  be 
it  said  that  this  particular  man  is 
the  head  of  a  large  business  organi- 
zation) claims  that  credit  has  done 
much  to  develop  the  latent  powers  of 
the  average  American — powers  which 
were  it  not  for  credit  and  its  results, 
this  average  American  might  never 
have  discovered.  Particularly  the 
power  of  individual  initiative — the 
development  of  undreamed-of  earn- 
ing capacity.  Bill  Smith,  average 
citizen,  sees  Jim  Jones,  another  av- 
erage citizen,  riding  past  in  his  Ford. 
Bill  immediately  buys  a  "Chevie" — 
paying  this-much  down  and  con- 
tracting to  pay  so-much  per  month. 

Mrs.  Bill  Smith,  just  about  this 
time,  sees  a  dray  back  up  to  Mrs. 
Jim  Jones'  door  and  unload  a  brand- 
new  Chesterfield  set.  Whereupon 
Mrs.  S.  proceeds  downtown  and, 
by  paying  this-much  down  and  con- 
tracting to  pay  so-much  per  month, 


has  delivpi-ed  at  her  front  door  (at 
high  noon,  when  she  knows  that  all 
the  neighbois  will  be  around  to  wit- 
ness her  triumph)  not  only  a  new- 
Chesterfield  set,  but  a  new  model 
console  radio  for  extra  measure. 

Being  properly  humiliated  (and 
challenged)  Mrs.  Jones  immediately 
by  the  same  route,  purchases  a 
"period"  dining  room  set,  and  Mr. 
J.  trades  in  the  Ford  for  a  Buick. 
And  thus,  the  game  of  advancing 
with  neighborhood  civilization  goes 
merrily  on. 

But,  remarks  this  Master  of  In- 
dustry (and  he  is  that,  without  a 
doubt),  somehow  or  other  the  Smiths 
and  the  Joneses  scrape  up  the  money 
to  meet  the  installments  when  they 
come  due  each  month !  In,  he  claims, 
practically  100%  of  all  cases. 

This  means,  in  his  belief,  that 
when  the  Smiths  are  confronted  with 
.? 200  worth  of  monthly  on-time  pay- 
ments and  a  . SI 50  income.  Pa  Smith 
(possibly  with  the  assistance  of  some 
other  members  of  the  family)  looks 
about  him  to  raise  the  family  in- 
come to  a  place  where  it  will  ade- 
quately cover  his  installments.  And 
he  does  it.  He  works  harder — be- 
comes more  valuable  to  his  boss — 
and  his  pay  is  increased.  Or,  he 
starts  selling  something  during  the 
evening  hours,  and  finds  out,  to  the 
surprise  of  himself,  his  family  and 
aU  his  friends,  that  he  can  make 
more  money  selling  something  than 
he  can  as  a  high-grade  mechanic,  or 
whatever  rut  he  happens  to  have 
fallen  into. 

On  the  other  hand,   an  equally 


important  American  industrial  king 
states  with  equal  emphasis  that  the 
mad  chase  to  "keep  up  with  the 
Joneses"  can  result,  and  is  already 
resulting,  in  the  breaking  down  of 
American  family  life  and  character. 
The  country  is  money-mad,  he  says, 
and  old-fashioned  ideals  and  virtues 
are  being  sacrificed  upon  the  altar 
of  installment  business. 

And  there  you  are.   Or,  are  you? 

The  American  Federation  of  La- 
bor "views  with  alarm"  the  in- 
creasing indebtedness  which  install- 
ment inducements  have  brought 
upon  the  laboring  man,  who,  a  trifle 
dizzy  mayhap  with  the  e.xtra  money 
roUing  his  way  the  past  few  years, 
thinks  he  can  buy  anj-thing  and 
everything  offered  him  and  soon 
finds  himself  up  to  his  neck  in 
monthly  installments. 

What  the  Consumer  Has 
to  Say  About  It 

In  the  final  analysis,  it  seemed  to 
the  writer,  the  answer  as  to  whether 
or  not  the  charge  account,  install- 
ment, budget,  easy  payment  (or 
whatever  name  you  may  give  it) 
business  is  beneficial  or  otherwise 
lay  with  the  so-called  ultimate  con- 
sumer. And,  in  him,  in  his  limited 
way,  the  writer  endeavored  to  find 
the  answer,  attempting  to  interview- 
as  wide  a  range  as  possible  of  in- 
comes. ■ 

One  stenographer  "has  an  abso- 
lute horror"  of  charge  accounts. 
She  "couldn't  sleep  nights"  if  she 
owed  anybody  anything.    So,  when

The  Annual  Appeal 
of  San  Francisco's 
Community  Chest 

By  GEORGE  FILMER,  Chairman   Campaign 
Committee,  The  Community  Chest 

ONCE  more  the  annual  appeal 
of  the  Community  Chest  is  be- 
fore San  Francisco — that  sys- 
tematized, efficient  method  of  col- 
lecting funds  but  once  a  year  for  the 
support  of  all  the  various  worthy 
charities  and  helpful  institutions  of 
this  city,  instead  of  the  former  hit- 
or-miss,  haphazard  "drives,"  which 
ofttimes  developed  into  annoying 
and  mere  "catch-penny"  solicita- 
tions. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  has  a  peculiar  and  indi- 
vidual— one  might  almost  say  a 
selfish — interest  in  the  Community 
Chest,  for  it  was  under  the  auspices 
of  this  organization  and  with  the 
personal  assistance  of  its  officers  that 
the  initial  campaign  was  launched 
and  the  great  organization  for  cen- 
tralized relief  giving  established. 

This  year  emphasis  is  being  laid 
on  the  social  and  recreational  achieve- 
ments of  the  Community  Chest, 
though,  of  cour.se,  agencies  which 
extend  succor  to  the  needy,  the  sick 
and  the  disabled  are  by  no  means 
being  shoved  into  the  background. 

But  an  effort  is  being  made  to 
quicken  interest  in  and  appreciation 
of  the  preventive  work  being  accom-

From  a  junior  office  executive 
comes  this;  "My  wife  is  j'oung  and 
now  is  the  time  that  she  can  enjoy 
a  car  the  most.  Instead  of  waiting 
until  we  are  middle-aged  to  get  one, 
we  have  it  now.  We're  getting  more 
genuine  happiness  out  of  life,  by  a 
long  shot,  than  our  parents  ever  got 
at  our  age.  And  the  slight  cost  for 
interest  amounts  to  ahnost  nothing."

From  another  junior  executive, 
earning  about  the  same  salary:  "I 
personally  think  the  credit  system 
is  the  greatest  detriment  in  modem 
life.  It  gives  a  young  couple  e.vtrav- 
agant  ideas.  They  'go'  too  much. 
They  spend  too  much.  And.  when 
sickness  comes  along,  as  it  did  in  our 
case,  they  are  both  out  of  funds  and 
are  keyed  up  to  a  false  standard  of 
living.  \A'hen  my  father  was  mj'  age 
he  had  money  in  the  bank  and  a 
home  partly  paid  for.  Today,  and 
for  the  last  year  or  two,  we  have  had 
nothing  but  debts.  Our  lives  have 
been  miserable.  If  we  ever  get  out 
from  under  this  load,  I  hope  we 
never  buy  another  thing  on  credit, 
excepting  a  home.  That  is  the  one 
thing  that  I  believe  a  young  man  is 
justified  in  going  into  debt  for."

Business 

Which  seems  to  even  the  score 
again.  .\nd  there  you  have  it.  Just 
a.«  one  person  convinces  you  of  one 
side,  another  comes  along  and  gives 
you  equally  striking  proof  of  the 
other.  A  leading  business  journal 
recently  carried  an  article  telling  of 
the  firms  that  had  gone  under  from 
playing  the  credit  game  too  hard — 
overselling  their  customers  and  hav- 
ing to  re-po.ssess  their  goods  at  a 
loss.  A  salesman  for  one  of  these 
firms  stated,  "There  are  so  many  of 
us  around  trying  to  collect  install- 
ments that  we  have  to  tag  ourselves 
so  as  not  to  try  to  collect  from  each 
other." 

On  the  other  hand,  some  of  the 
most  soundly  organized  business 
houses  in  the  countrj',  both  whole- 
sale and  retail,  point  to  their  great 
strides  in  volume  as  proof  of  the 
value  of  credit  business  and  claim 
that  these  immense  volumes  are 
accomplished  with  a  startlingly 
small  loss  through  bad  accounts. 

The  writer  would  like  to  obtain 
opinions  on  this  credit  business.  He 
would  like  them  from  pastors  of 
churches,  school  teachers,  college 
professors,  leaders  in  social  life,  and, 
of  course,  from  business  men. 

It  is  possible  that  sufficient  re- 
plies will  be  received  to  warrant  a

duct the  yearly  canvass  is  de- 
scribed by  Community  Chest  leaders 
as  90  per  cent  perfected.  The  other 
10  per  cent  of  finishing  off  is  merely 
the  rounding  out  of  details  to  insure 
a  smooth  running  of  the  machinery. 

Alfred  GhirardeUi  and  Eli  H.

On  the  board  of  directors,  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  is 
represented  by  President  Clay  Mil- 
ler and  Captain  C.  W.  Saunders. 
The  president  of  the  Community 
Chest  is  William  H.  Crocker;  Wal- 
lace M.  Alexander  and  Mortimer 
Fleishhacker  are  vice  presidents,  and 
Selah  Chamberlain  is  treasurer. 

San  Franciscans  have  been  made 
more  personally  familiar  with  the 
work  of  the  Community  Chest  and 
of  the  organizations  it  supports 
through  a  series  of  open  houses  at 
the  various  headquarters.  Through 
these  visits  by  the  public,  practical 
ocular  demonstration  has  been  given 
at  first  hand. 


Mr.  Wiel,  in  issuing  a  statement 
on  behalf  of  the  campaign  com- 
mittee, said: 

"The  Community  Chest  has  long 
since  proved  itself  and  there  is  no 
longer  any  argument  as  to  its  neces- 
sity. 

"Before  the  Chest  was  inaugu- 
rated, it  cost  approximately  25  per 
cent  of  what  was  collected  to  gather 
and  administer  the  distribution  of 
the  money.  Under  the  Chest  system, 
it  costs  but  5  per  cent. 

"This  year  we  want  ever}'one  to 
contribute  his  or  her  just  share.  So 
will  the  needs  of  the  Chest  be  amply 
cared  for. 


"Last  year  more  than  50  per  cent 
of  the  total  sum  raised  was  paid  in 
by  400  subscribers  and  90,000  con- 
tributed only  9  per  cent.  This  is  not 
a  fair  distribution." 

It  is  largely  because  of  this  in- 
equality of  support  that  the  pro- 
posed method  of  a  "square"  dona- 
tion is  finding  favor  as  providing  an 
equitable  means  of  carrying  on  the 
great  work.  Many  of  the  luncheon 
clubs  have  taken  a  vote  on  this 
method  and  it  has  been  approved 
by  a  large  majority.  This  so-called 
"referendum"  has  also  been  taken 
through  churches,  women's  clubs 
and  other  public  organizations. 


What  Kind  of  an 
Audit? 

Audits  vary  in  quality  and  scope.  The  Quality 
depends  upon  the  experience,  ability  and  appli- 
cation cf  the  auditor;  the  Scope  is  a  matter  of 
your  instruction. 

Of  course,  Every  Audit  should  be  a  Detailed 
Audit  —  which  is  an  expert  and  independent 
stucy  in  defa;7of  the  items  represented  in  mass 
by  balance  sheet  figures.  It  discloses  the  many 
important  facts  underlying  the  figures;  verifies; 
clarifies.  It  brings  to  light  avoidable  leaks  and 
waste;  finds  the  flaws  in  accounting,  in  credit 
and  collection  methods;  points  to  possibilities 
for  greater  profits,  and  is  free  from  qualified  state- 
ments of  balance  sheet  audit. 
The  Balance  Sheet  Audit,  in  spite  of  obvious 
limitations,  when  properly  made  is  more  than  a 
mere  building  up  of  statements  from  book  fig- 
ures without  careful  analysis  and  substantiation. 

The  Balance  Sheet  Audit  can  be  ordered  with  a 
specification  calling  for  a  partial  Detailed  Audit 
covering  a  period  sufficiently  long  to  give  at 
least  a  cross  section  of  the  business  and  a  pic- 
ture of  actual  conditions.

exerted  along  the  Pacific  Coast  of 
the  continental  United  States. 

ELr';\'ION  years  ago,  at  the  very 
beginning  of  my  connection 
with  the  Coast  and  Geodetic 
Survey  it  wiis  ray  duty  and  privilege 
to  point  out  to  Congress  and  the 
people  generally  that  the  early  sur- 
veys along  the  Pacific  Coast  had 
been  made  to  serve  the  sailing  ships 
of  that  day.  While  they  had  been 
ade(iuate  for  their  successors,  the 
low-powered,  shallow-draft  coasting 
steamers  wliose  tracks  lay  close  to 
the  shores,  they  were  not  adapted 
to  the  needs  of  modern  high-powered 
steamers  plying  up  and  down  the 
coast  without  regard  to  wind  or 
weather,  steering  courses  which  di- 
verged far  from  the  curving  shores 
and  approached  the  latter  only  at 
the  few  major  salients. 

The  response  by  Congress  was 
most  gratifying.  It  provided  in- 
creased funds  enabhng  the  Survey 
to  embark  on  an  augmented  pro- 
gram of  work  which  has  since  been 
carried  on  continuously  except  for 
the  interruption  due  to  the  war, 
when  vessels  and  personnel  were  en- 
gaged on  militarj'  duty.  The  work 
was  begun  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
above-mentioned  important  salients, 
where  the  modern  vessels  approach 
the  shore  and,  in  consequence,  dan- 
ger. Cape  Blanco,  Cape  Mendocino 
and  Point  Reyes  to  the  north  and 
Points  Sur  and  Arguello  to  the  south 
were  dreaded  by  the  masters  of 
coastwise  shipping,  a  dread  fully 
justified  by  the  long  record  of  dis- 
asters of  which  they  had  been  the 
scene.  It  was,  moreover,  a  dread 
augmented  by  the  fact  that  in  the 
case  of  the  first  two  named  the 
charts  furnished  the  mariner  to 
guide  him  past  these  dangers  were 
almost  devoid  of  soundings  in  their 
vicinities.  These  deficiencies  have 
been  in  large  measure  rectified.  The 
waters  adjacent  to  these  two  im- 
portant points  have  been  thoroughly 
surveyed;  the  insidious  coastwise 
currents  have  been  studied,  and 
charts,  sailing  directions  and  cur- 
rent tables  have  been  revised  for 
the  mariner's  use,  thereby  greatly 
increasing  the  safety  of  maritime 
traffic  along  the  coast. 

THE  extent  to  which  the  re- 
sources of  the  Survey  have  been 
devoted  to  this  task  is  indicated 
by  the  following  comparisons.  Dur- 
ing the  ten-year  period  1916-1925 
the  Survey  spent  the  following  total 
sum  per  mile  of  shoreline  of  each  of 
the  sections  named :  Cahf ornia,  S754,

SAX  FHANCISCO  BUSINESS,  FEBRUARY  10,  1926 


The  fruit  Center  of  the  iN^tion 


l\l'IT  cultivation  is 
pidhably  carried  on  in 
all  lands  which  will  sup- 
pi  n't  vegetable  life  and 
mature  a  crop.  Never- 
tlielesK,  laigiL-  quantities  of  fresh 
fruit  must  be  carried  from  regions  of 
prolific  production  to  population 
centers  which  consume  more  than 
they  produce. 

The  demand  for  fruit  is  not  only 
seasonal  but  continuous,  and  storage 
of  fresh  fruit  is  difficult  and  expen- 
sive. As  in  so  many  other  industries, 
necessity  has  mothered  invention, 
and  methods  have  been  devised  to 
preserve  fruits  for  long  periods  of 
time.  California  is  and  has  been  for 
many  years  the  world's  most  impor- 
tant source  of  canned  and  dried 
fruits,  and  San  Francisco  is  the  dis- 
tributing and  financial  center  of  this 
industry. 

Great  shipments  of  preserved 
fruits  go  out  of  the  Golden  Gate,  and 
not  a  few  of  them  are  bound  for  the 
very  hearts  of  countries  long  famous 
for  their  fruit  products,  notably 
France,  Germany,  Italy  and  Switzer- 
land, Australia,  New  Zealand,  etc., 
not  to  mention  heavy  shipments  in 
the  intercoastal  trade  to  the  East 
Coast  of  the  United  States. 

Long  before  the  dawn  of  history 
primitive  men  discovered  how  to 
preserve  fruits  and  other  foods  by 
drying  them  in  the  sun.  The  papyrus 
manuscripts  of  early  Egypt  mention 
sun-dried  foods,  notably  raisins, 
which  even  then  had  long  been  used 
as  food.  The  art  of  canning,  on  the 
other  hand,  goes  back  only  a  little 
more  than  a  century  when  Napoleon 
offered  a  prize  of  twelve  thousand 
francs  for  the  invention  of  a  way  to 
supply  fresh  provisions  for  his  sailors. 
Nicholas  Appert  collected  the  prize 
money  in  ISOft  and  made  known  to 
the  world  the  art  of  canning  in  glass 
jars.  Hand-soldered  tin  cans  were 
patented  in  England  by  Peter  Durand 
the  following  year.  The  art  of  can- 
ning was  developed  to  its  present 
perfection  in  the  United  States  fol- 
lowing the  pioneer  American  cannery 
established  in  Boston  in  1820.  By 
the  time  of  the  Civil  War  canned 
food  was  recognized  as  an  important 
commercial  addition  to  the  human 
diet.  Quantities  of  fruits,  canned  in 
California  fruit-growing  localities 
primarily  for  sale  to  the  miners, 
were  introduced  in  the  East  during 
the  Civil  War  and  there  found  a 
ready  market. 


CALIFORNIA  IS  Ihe  fruil  pro- 
ducing center  of  the  United 
Slaies  and  one  of  the  greatest 
fruit  districts  of  the  world.  An  average 
of  more  than  60%  of  the  totat  produc- 
tion is  preserved  by  canning  or  pack- 
ing, of  which  more  than  25%  is  ex- 
ported. 

Foreign  markets  are  tlie  differential 
element  containing  ihe  profits  of  the 
fruit  grower  and  are  therefore  of  ttie 
utmost  importance.  (At  the  Fourth 
Annual  Convention  of  tlie  Pacific 
Foreign  Trade  Council,  to  be  held  in 
.San  Francisco,  .March  -l  to  ti,  Ralph 
P.  Merrill,  president  of  the  Sun- 
Maid  Raisin  Growers  .\.^socialion. 
wilt  deliver  a  paper  on  '\-\gricultural 
Products  Ihe  Basis  of  West  Coast 
Prosperity — IWecessity  for  Their  In- 
Creased  Export.^')  San  Francisco  is 
the  distributing  and  financial  center 
of  ihe  canned  and  dried  fruit  industry 
of  California. 


The  padres,  and  the  pioneers  who 
followed  them,  soon  knew  California 
as  a  prolific  fruit  producing  area. 
The  East  received  its  first  California 
fruits  some  preserved  in  hand- 
soldered  tin  cans,  others  dried  and 
packed  loose  in  gunny  sacks.  For- 
eign trade  with  Russia,  Alaska  and 
other  Pacific  countries  had  already 
begun.  With  the  opening  of  the 
transcontinental  railroads  and  the 
development  of  refrigeration,  the 
East  received  fresh  fruits  from  Cali- 
fornia and  shipments  of  fresh  fruit 
were  sent  abroad.  However,  the 
major  part  of  the  fruit  production  of 
California  was,  and  is,  sent  out  to 
the  world  either  carefully  dried  and 
packed  neatly  in  cartons  and  boxes 
or  scientifically  canned,  attractively 
labeled  and  strongly  cased. 

Agriculture  is  the  leading  occupa- 
tion and  source  of  wealth  in  Cali- 
fornia with  an  annual  production 
valued  at  nearly  81-150,000,000,  fol- 
lowed by  petroleum  with  .1250,000,- 
000  annual  production.  The  impor- 
tance of  agriculture  to  the  Pacific 
Slope  cannot  be  over-emphasized. 
At  the  Fourth  Annual  Convention  of 
the  Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Council  to 
be  held  in  San  Francisco  March  4  to 
6,  Ralph  P.  Merritt,  president  of  the 
Sun-Maid  Growers  Association,  will 
deliver  a  paper  on  "Agriculture 
Products  the  Basis  of  West  Coast 
Prosperity — Necessity  for  Their  In- 
creased Export. "  Of  the  agricultural 
production,  fruit  crops  constitute 
nearly  40  per  cent,  the  remainder 
being  distributed  between  field  and 
vegetable  crops,  of  which  the  former 


is  bj-  far  the  most  valuable.  The 
annual  fruit  crop  is  worth  .8180,000,- 
000  and  two-thirds  of  it  is  preserved 
by  canning  and  dehydration.  If 
we  subtract  $40,000,000  for  the 
citrus  fruits,  w'hich  are  practicallj'  all 
shipped  fresh,  we  can  estimate  that 
six-sevenths,  more  than  85  per  cent, 
of  the  deciduous  fruits  produced  in 
California  are  either  dried  or  canned. 
Tonnage  reports  compiled  by  the 
United  States  Department  of  Agri- 
culture in  co-operation  with  the  Cali- 
fornia State  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture indicate  that  an  average  of 
approximately  three  and  a  half 
million  tons  of  fruit  is  produced  in 
California  each  year.  Citrus  fruits 
account  for  about  seven  hundred 
thousand  tons  of  the  total,  and  wine 
and  table  grapes  for  an  equal  amount. 
Of  the  remaining  two  million  two 
hundred  thousand  tons  of  deciduous 
fruits,  one  million  nine  hundred  tons 
are  preserved  by  canning  and  drying, 
and  only  three  hundred  thousand 
tons  are  marketed  fresh.

ductlon  statistics  of  recent  years. 

The  relative  amount  s  of  the  variou.s 
fruits  canned  and  dried  varj-  from 
year  to  year  according  to  crop  and 
market  conditions.  The  stati.stics 
here  given  are  estimates  of  average 
production  ba^sed  on  crop  reports  of 
recent  years.  The  ratio  of  tons 
canned  to  tons  dried  for  each  fruit 
also  varies  from  year  to  year.  Some 
authorities  in  the  fruit  industries  go 
so  far  as  to  say  that  in  100  years 
dried  fruits  will  take  the  place  of 
canned  fruits.  In  comparison  with 
canned  fruits  the  evaporated  product 
is  much  less  expensive  to  produce 
because  the  cost  of  the  tin  can  is 
done  away  with  and  the  much  less 
e.\pen.sive  cardboard  carton  is  sub- 
stituted. The  dehydration  process 
itself  is  also  less  e.vpensive.  One 
pound  of  dehydrated  fruit  has  the 
same  food  value  as  eight  pounds  of 
canned  fruit  and  it  takes  up  much 
les.s  space  in  warehouses,  railway 
cars  and  ships  with  the  result  of  a 
great  sanng  all  along  the  line. 

On  the  other  hand,  canned  fruit  is 
ready  for  use  immediately  upon 
opening  the  can,  while  dried  fruit 
ordinarily  has  to  be  prepared  l)efore 
being  consumed.  Po.ssibly  the  rising 
standard  of  living  will  throw  the 
balance  of  production  the  other  way, 
and  in  the  future  a  greater  propor- 
tion of  fruit  will  be  canned  than 
dehydrated.  A  statistical  compari- 
son indicates  that  while  both  canned 
and  dried  fruit  production  has  in- 
creased greatly  since  1910,  canning 
has  registered  a  greater  relative 
increa.se.  The  amount  of  dried  fruits 
sent  to  foreign  markets  has  increased 
in  absolute  tonnage  since  1910. 
Relative  to  total  production,  how- 
ever, the  foreign  shipments  have  de- 
crea.sed.  In  1911  foreign  sales  of 
dried  fruit  amounted  to  28  per  cent 
of  the  total  crop.  Of  late  years  from 
18  per  cent  to  25  per  cent  has  been 
exported.  This  indicates  that  much 
of  the  increase  in  dried  fruit  pro- 
duction has  been  for  the  account  of 
the  United  States  markets,  although 
there  have  been  phenomenal  sales 
abroad  of  some  of  the  dried  fruits  in 


certain  years,  notably  raisins  in  1919 
and  prunes  in  1924, 

Canned  fruit  exports  have  in- 
creased both  absolutely  and  rela- 
tively since  pre-war  years.  In  1911 
foreign  markets  took  19  per  cent  of 
the  canned  fruits  produced.  The 
present  sales  abroad  account  for  30 
per  cent  of  canned  production.  A 
study  of  statistics  reveals  that  both 
foreign  and  domestic  demands  for 
canned  fruit  products  have  in- 
creased greatly.

Canned  cling  peaches  are  much 
more  popular  than  are  the  canned 
free  stone  variety.  The  free  peach 
pack  has  shown  a  tendency  to  decline 
since  the  war,  and  is  now  at  the  1910 
level,  while  the  cling  peach  pack  is 
four  times  as  large  !is  it  was  in  1910.

Estimate  for  an  average  year  based  on  eiports 
of  recent  years. 

The  proportion  of  total  production 
sold  abroad  varies  greatly  from 
fruit  to  fruit.  From  20  per  cent  to 
nearly  80  per  cent  of  the  prune  pro- 
duction is  exported,  the  normal 
foreign  sales  amounting  to  .30  per 
cent.  In  1924,  110,000  tons  were 
sold  abroad,  more  than  78  per  cent 
of  production,  due  to  large  produc- 
tion, heavy  carry  over,  low  price  and 
increased  foreign  demand.  About 
half  of  that  amount  was  exported  in 
1925.  An  average  of  25  per  cent  of 
the  raisins  are  sold  abroad.  Nearly 
60  per  cent  of  the  small  local  dried 
apple    production    is    marketed    in

foreign  countries;  and  about  40  per 
cent  of  the  apricots.  However,  only 
10  per  cent  of  tlie  dried  peaches  are 
sold  to  foreign  buyers. 

More  than  one-third  of  all  canned 
apricots  are  sold  abroad;  a  slightly 
smaller  amount  of  canned  pears  and 
about  28  per  cent  of  the  large  canned 
peach  pack  are  also  sent^to  foreign 
countries, 

Not  only  do  the  demands  for  each 
type  of  canned  and  dried  fruit  vary, 
but  study  of  the  export  statistics 
further  reveals  that  each  country 
has  decided  preferences  for  certain 
kinds  of  fruit.  The  United  Kingdom 
and  the  Continent  are  the  best 
markets,  although  Cuba  and  Canada 
in  this  hemisphere  and  some  coun- 
tries in  Australasia  and  the  Orient 
are  steady  buyers.  The  tariffs  of 
most  Latin- American  countries  set 
a  luxury  duty  on  fruit  imports  and 
almost   prohibit  shipments. 

The  United  Kingdom  takes  70 
per  cent  of  all  canned  peach  ship- 
ments. Cuba  follows  with  10  per 
cent  and  Canada  with  8  per  cent. 
India,  France  and  New  Zealand  buy 
most  of  the  remainder.  From  80  to 
90  per  cent  of  canned  pears  are  also 
sent  to  the  United  Kingdom.  Cuba 
receives  from  8  per  cent  to  10  per 
cent  and  Canada  the  major  part  of 
other  canned  pear  exports. 

The  United  Kingdom  likewise 
buys  80  to  85  per  cent  of  our  canned 
apricot  exports.  France  takes  about 
one-third  of  the  balance.  About  70 
per  cent  of  all  other  canned  fruit  is 
likewise  sold  to  the  United  Kingdom, 
Canada  takes  5  per  cent,  Cuba  3 
per  cent,  Java  3  per  cent,  Me.xico  2 
per  cent  and  Australia  2  per  cent. 
Small  amounts  are  sent  to  almost 
every  country  in  the  world. 

Canada  is  the  largest  buyer  of 
California  raisins,  taking  about  30 
per  cent  of  all  exports.  The  recent 
Canadian-Australian  tariff  agree- 
ment, admitting  Australian  raisins 
free  in  Canada  and  increasing  the 
duty  on  United  States  raisins,  may 
possibly  decrease  Canadian  demand 
for  Californian  raisins.  At  present 
the  Canadian  consumers  are  willing 
to  take  Californian  raisins  even  at  a 
higher  price  than  Australian  raisins 
because  of  quality.  The  largest 
demand  centers  at  the  Christmas 
holidays.  Californian  raisins  are 
then  fresh  new  stock,  whereas 
raisins  from  the  Antipodes  which  are 
harvested  in  February  and  March 
have  to  be  stored  through  the  sum- 
mer and  held  almost  a  year  to  meet 
the  peak  of  demand.  The  United 
Kingdom  takes  another  20  per  cent 
of  raisin  exports,  Japan  10  per  cent,

THE  growing  importance  of  San 
Francisco  as  an  industrial  and 
market  center  is  being  evi- 
denced this  week  in  the  gathering 
liere  of  several  thousand  retail 
furniture  dealers  and  factorj'  repre-

sentatives  for  the  semi-annual  Furn- 
iture Market  Week  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Furniture  Exchange. 

These  dealers  are  here  from  all 
parts  of  the  West;  the  factorj' 
representatives  and  executives  from 
practically  every  furniture  produc- 
ing .'iection  of  the  country.  From 
the  standpoint  of  attendance  and 
from  the  quality  and  scope  of  the 
exposition  the  present  market  is 
said  to  be  the  most  important  held 
west  of  Chicago 

Displays  Represent 
Over  500  Factories 

The  displays  alone  represent  more 
than  half  a  thousand  factories.  The 
setting  provided  is  one  of  the  finest 
in  any  of  the  leading  furniture 
markets.  A  progressive  note  is 
struck  this  time  by  the  participation 
in  the  plans  of  the  week  of  the  retail 
dealers  of  San  Francisco,  Oakland 
and  the  bay  cities.  These  dealers 
have  designated  this  as  furniture 
fashion  show  week.  They  have 
specially  dressed  their  windows  for 
the   benefit    of   the   visiting   dealers 


and  are  staging  liaily  furniture 
fashion  shows  to  which  the  dealers, 
their  friends  and  the  general  public 
are  invited.  The  stores  in  this  con- 
certed plan  have  agreed  to  keep 
open  Friday  night  in  order  that 
those  dealers  and  the  public  at  large 
may  have  one  last  opportunity  of 
partaking  of  the  stores'  hospitality. 

"Better  Homes"  is  to  be  the 
theme  of  the  entire  week.  San 
Francisco  takes  a  just  pride  in  the 
"Better  Homes"  idea,  for  this  move- 
ment, now  national  in  .scope,  had  its 
inception  and  original  presentation 
here. 

The  furniture  representatives  in 
stressing  the  importance  of  "better 
homes"  .see  a  direct  relation  between 
the  breaking  down  of  the  home  and 
increasing  crime  on  the  part  of 
youth. 

"Make  the  home  more  attractive 
and  it  will  serve  as  a  magnet  to  at- 
tract the  children  to  the  fireside; 
allow  the  home  to  continue  unat- 
tractive and  the  natural  result  will 
be  ff)r  children  to  seek  their  recrea- 
tion aw.iy  from  home." 

Luncheon  Feature  of 
Each  Day's  Program 

This  is  the  appeal  of  the  Furniture 
Market  Week.  Each  day  this  week 
a  special  luncheon  program  has  been 
provided  in  the  ballroom  of  the 
Palace  Hotel,  and  each  of  these 
programs  has  been  designed  to  tie-in 
with  the  'Better  Homes"  idea. 

On  the  opening  day  Rabbi  Louis 
L  Newman  of  Temple  Emanu-El 
spoke  on  "The  Better  Home."  On 
Tuesday  the  speaker  was  Fred  H. 
Mantor,  director  of  the  Better 
Business  Bureau  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Advertising  Club,  who  had  as 
his  subject  "Insuring  Healthful 
Rest." 

The  program  for  the  remainder  of 
the  week  as  announced  is  as  follows: 
Wednesday,  Sketch  by  Rotary  Club 
Players  under  the  auspices  of  the 
San  Francisco  Rotary  Club.  Thurs- 
day, W.  H.  Wilson,  general  manager 
American  Furniture  Mart  of  Chi- 
cago, will  speak  on  "The  Uses  and 
Development  of  a  Market,"  and 
Friday,  moving  picture  entitled 
"Happiness,"  illustrating  the  manu- 
facture of  furniture  from  the  tree  to 
the  finished  product,  which  is  being 
shown  through  the  courtesy  of  the 
Rockford,  Illinois,  Furniture  Manu- 
facturers' Association. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  FEBRUARY  10,  1026 


What  Our  Geodetic  Survey  Means  to  Us 


$259,  Gulf  Coast,  $222.  During  the 
fiscal  year  1925  the  expenditures  per 
mile  of  shoreline  were  California, 
$218,  Pacific  Coast,  $111,  Atlantic 
Coast,  $26;  Gulf  Coast,  $23. 

If  we  adopt  as  our  yardstick  the 
values  of  imports  and  exports,  we 
find  that  in  1925  we  spent,  per  mil- 
lion dollars  of  commerce,  for  Cali- 
fornia, $598;  Pacific  Coast,  $294; 
Gulf  Coast,  $65;  and  Atlantic  Coa,st, 
.$36.  In  order  to  see  the  complete 
picture,  it  is  proper  to  recall  that  a 
much  longer  period  had  already 
been  devoted  to  the  surveys  of  the 
Atlantic  and  Gulf  coasts,  and  in 
consequence,  at  the  time  our  com- 
parison begins,  the  first  survey  of 
those  coasts  was  much  nearer  com- 
pletion. On  the  other  hand,  the 
sandy  shores  of  the  Atlantic  and 
Gulf  coasts  are  subject  to  constant 
changes  by  wave  and  current  action 
which  necessitate  frequent  resur- 
veys  in  order  to  keep  the  mariner 
informed  of  their  prevailing  condi- 
tion. In  contrast  with  this  situation 
the  rocky  shores  which  with  a  few 
local  exceptions  characterize  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  are  so  resistant  to  erosion 
that  once  adequately  surveyed  no 
further  work  would  be  required  for 
many  years. 

A  careful  review  of  the  whole  situ- 
ation, which  takes  account  of  all 
these  factors,  justifies  the  conclu- 
sion that  at  the  pr&sent  time  San 
Francisco  Bay  and  the  entire  Cali- 
fornia coast  are  as  well  surveyed  for 
navigational  purposes  as  any  other 
extensive  section  of  our  coasts,  and 
that  the  effort  begun  ten  years  ago 
to  accomplish  a  complete  survey  of 
the  coast,  which  would  also  be  final 
with  respect  to  the  unchangeable 
portions,  is  now  well  along  toward 
completion.  The  work  is  being 
pushed  vigorously  at  the  present 
time;  in  fact,  the  program  for  the 
ensuing  year  calls  for  an  even  greater 
effort  than  during  any  preceding  one. 

No  mention  of  the  contribution 
by  the  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey 
to  the  welfare  of  San  Francisco 
would  be  complete  without  a  word 
in  reference  to  another  aspect  of 
the  Bureau's  work.  In  January, 
1925,  the  President  approved  an  act 
of  Congress  charging  the  Survey 
with  investigations  in  seismology, 
a  subject  probably  of  greater  inter- 
est to  California  than  to  any  other 
state. 

Mankind  is  powerless  to  prevent 
earthquakes,  but  scientists  and  en- 
gineers believe  that  a  great  deal  can 


(  continued  from  page  12  ] 

be  done  to  minimize  their  disastrous 
effects.  The  first  step  toward  the 
attainment  of  that  desirable  end  is 
to  learn  everything  possible  regard- 
ing the  nature  of  earthquakes,  their 
causes,  when  and  where  they  may  be 
expected  to  occur,  and  the  character 
of  the  earth  movements  which  may 
be  expected. 

The  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey 
is  the  agency  selected  by  the  Federal 


Government  to  study  these  basic 
problems,  working  in  co-operation 
with  other  interested  agencies  in 
this  and  other  countries.  It  remains 
for  the  future  to  determine  what  the 
actual  accomplishment  will  be,  but 
the  Survey  has  worked  out  a  definite 
program  for  attacking  the  problem, 
which  now  awaits  the  Congressional 
appropriations  necessary  to  putting 
it  in  operation. 


"Show  us  the  romance  in  a  paper  towel' 

— was  the  challenge  of  a  San  Francisco  paper  manufacturer. 
We  won!  The  photographic  illustration  above  was  but  one  of  a  dozen  that 
were  used  in  trade  paper,  catalog,  maihng  piece,  house  organ  and  news- 
paper advertising  to  put  this  particular  paper  towel  in  a  leading  place  in  a 
comparatively  short  time. 

As  a  by-product,  we  showed  them  how  their  salesmen  could  use  these 
photographic  illustrations  in  their  sales  books.

known  economist,  in  an  address  be- 
fore a  joint  luncheon  of  the  Cham- 
her  of  Commerce  and  the  Commer- 
cial Club.  Ives'  appearance  had 
been  made  possible  by  the  co-opera- 
tion of  local  insurance  company 
repre.sentatives. 

Taking  as  his  theme,  "Govern- 
ment in  Business,"  Ives  declared 
that  the  "modern  tendency  is  to- 
ward creating  a  plague  of  laws"  and 
that  this  is  the  "jazz  age  of  laws." 
He  said: 

"It  might  be  well  to  bear  in  mind 
that  there  are  100,000  persons  in  this 
country  engaged  in  making  laws —

''Our  proclivity  for  law  making  is 
threatening  many  ancient  rightjs. 
The  tax  bill  for  the  United  States  in 
1913  was  S2,919,000,000;  in  1924  it 
was  $10,250,000,000.  This  means 
that  fifteen  cents  out  of  everj-  dollar 
of  the  National  income  goes  to  taxes 
due  to  the  pa.ssion  for  regulation  and 
for  telling  the  other  fellow  how  to 
direct  his  business. 

"The  big  question  of  government 
ownership  is  whether  the  institution 
of  private  property  is  to  be  pre- 
served. 

"Government  ownership  simply 
means  the  substitution  of  a  govern- 
ment deficit  for  private  profits,  for 
the  Government  never  created  any- 
thing except  what  private  enter- 
prise started. 

"It  is  my  belief  that  everj'  in- 
vasion by  the  Government  into  a 
business  injures  that  business.  It 
often  means  the  taking  over  by  the 
Government  of  a  business  or  utility 
started  and  operated  profitably  and 
adequateh'  by  private  interests  and 
enterprise  and  thereby  causing  an 
unfavorable  economic  reaction."

California  Cotton 

SE^'ERAL  bales  of  cotton  grown 
in  California,  described  as  a 
".sample  shipment"  of  the  first 
crop  of  cotton  grown  in  the  central 
section  of  the  state,  left  San  Fran- 
cisco February  2  on  the  liner  Taiyo 
Maru.  consigned  to  the  Orient. 

The  shipment  was  designed  merely 
to  demonstrate  to  buyers  in  the 
Orient  what  grade  of  cotton  can  be 
raised  in  California.  If  the  "sample" 
is  acceptable  the  growers  are  pre- 
pared immediately  to  ship  more 
than  .3,000  bales  on  order. 

The  average  monthly  shipment  of 
cotton  out  of  the  port  of  San  Fran- 
cisco averages  about  5,000  bales  of 
California  -  produced    cotton.     The 


shipment  which  is  l>eing  conveyed 
by  the  Taiyo  is  the  first  cotton  to  be 
produced  in  the  upper  valley  dis- 
tricts of  this  state. 

The  departure  of  the  shipment 
was  given  recognition  by  an  informal 
farewell  party  composed  of  repre- 
.sentatives  of  the  cotton  industry, 
business  men  and  representatives  of 
the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce.

FOREIGN  trade  is  vital  to  Cali- 
fornia's prosperity.  Most  of  the 
products  of  our  soil  and  of  our 
natural  resources  are  exported  in 
large  volume,  as,  for  example,  petro- 
leum products;  lumber;  fruits-fresh, 
dried,  and  canned;  wheat  and  flour; 
barley;  cotton,  etc.  The  curtailment 
of  our  exports  would  quickly  affect 
the  prosperity  of  our  whole  state. 
On  the  other  hand,  our  expansion 
and  increased  production  is  very 
largelj'  contingent  upon  increased 
exports.  San  Francisco,  as  the  log- 
ical port  and  distributing  center  for 
the  production  of  the  great  valleys 
of  California,  is  quick  to  feel  the 
effects  of  expanding  exports.  The 
total  foreign  trade  of  the  port  of  San 
Francisco  increased  $50,000,000  last 
year  over  the  year  before.  Clearly, 
this  is  directly  related  to  the  en- 
hanced prosperity  which  this  cit}'  is 
now  enjoying. 

Convention  Will 
Stimulate  Foreign  Trade 

The  Fourth  Annual  Convention  of 
the  Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Council  is 
for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  our 
foreign  trade,  and  consequently  of 
making  more  certain  and  permanent 
our  prosperity.  The  Pacific  Foreign 
Trade  Council  is  the  outgrowth  of  a 
feeling  on  the  Pacific  Coast  that  this 
section  of  the  United  States  has  com- 
mon foreign  trade  problems.  Its 
geographical  position  in  relation  to 
the  rest  of  the  United  States,  its 
coastline  and  harbors,  and  the  rapid 
development  of  the  peoples  within 
its  legitimate  trade  area  on  the  Pa- 
cific are  the  factors  which  have  crys- 
tallized in  the  minds  of  Pacific  Coast 
producers  and  merchants  the  desir- 
ability of  common,  unified  action. 
Hence  the  slogan  of  the  Pacific  For- 
eign Trade  Council,  "Pacific  Coast 
Unity  for  World  Trade  Expansion." 

The  three  meetings  which  have 
been  held  in  past  years  have  brought 
the  trade  interests  of  the  Coast  to- 
gether, have  helped  to  visualize  and 
solve  their  foreign  trade  problems, 
have  educated  the  producers  to  the 
necessity  of  foreign  trade  to  Coast 
prosperity,  and  have  enabled  the 
Pacific  Coast  cities  to  get  behind 
Federal  legislation  beneficial  to  the 
Coast  in  a  unified  way.  One  form  of 
this  has  been  united  Coast  action 
on  rivers  and  harbors  development; 
another  has  been  on  trans-Pacific 
radio  communication;  and  still  an- 
other, on  the  amendments  to  the 
China  Trade  Act.

cies of  the  Government  in  this  meet- 
ing. Secretary  Hoover  has  wired 
Mr.  R.  I.  Bentley,  chairman  of  the 
Convention  Committee,  his  ap- 
proval of  the  meeting.  His  telegram 
is  as  follows : 

Washington,  D.  C. 
Mr.  R.  I.  Bentley,  Chairman, 
Convention  Committee, 
Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Council, 
San  Francisco,  California. 

Notwithstanding  progress  made  in 
American  Foreign  Trade  during  the  past 
decade  further  expansion  of  overseas  trade 
is  essential  to  continued  economicstability 
in  this  country.  Therefore  foreign  trade 
conventions  such  as  that  called  by  the 
Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Council  are  impor- 
tant in  t  hat  they  are  instrumental  in  bring- 
ing about  among  the  business  public  a 
realization  of  the  advantages  of  foreign 
trade,  thus  securing  added  interest.  They 
are  particularly  important  through  the 
possibilities  offered  for  securing  that 
concerted  action  which  is  so  vitally  essen- 
tial to  success  in  the  solution  of  common 
problems.  Herbert  Hoover. 

Those  who  register  and  attend  the 
sessions  of  the  Convention  will  not 
only  aid  in  the  accomplishment  of 
the  purposes  of  the  Pacific  Foreign 
Trade  Council,  but  also  will  secure 
a  great  deal  of  very  valuable  in- 
formation which  will  be  of  dollars- 
and- cents  service  to  them  in  con- 
ducting their  own  business.

that  the  Box  Bill  will  be  seriously 
considered. 

p^LRTHER  restrictions  on  the  Ainer- 
*■  ican  merchant  marine  are  being 
vigorously  opposed  by  the  Pacific 
Coa-st  Shipowners  Association.  Cap- 
tain Walter  J.  Peterson,  of  San 
Francisco,  manager  of  the  Employ- 
ment Division  of  the  .\s.'iociation,  is 
here  making  the  fight  alone,  without 
help  from  the  -Atlantic  shipowners, 
although  they  are  just  as  vitally  in- 
terested. Senator  LaFollctte  has  a 
bill  pending  which  Peterson  .says 
will  add  more  expense  to  .-Vmerican 
shipping.  During  the  hearings  of 
labor's  side  of  the  ca.se,  Andrew  Fur- 
useth  of  the  Seamen's  Union,  testi- 
fied that  the  union  now  has  about 
18,000  members.  During  the  last 
strike  they  had  33,000  memliers. 
Captain  Peterson  says  there  are  60.- 
000  sailors  operating  on  the  Amer- 
ican merchant  marine  and  he  inter- 
preted Furuseth's  testimony  as  an 
indication  of  a  considerable  drop  in 
union  membership.

to  the  .Senate.  This  bill  gives  the 
Secretarj-  of  the  Treasury  authority

believed  virtually  assured  of  a  new

A  T.VRIFF  battle  is  coming  which 
many  believe  will  be  the  greatest 
tariff  fight  in  the  history  of  the 
countrj'.  Democratic  leaders  are 
now  ma.ssing  their  big  guns  on  this 
issue.  It  will  Ijc  an  i.ssue  in  the  forth- 
coming Congressional  elections,  but 
a  still  bigger  one  in  the  Presidential 
campaign  of  1928. 

D  EPUBLICANS  are  in  serious  danger 
of  losing  control  of  the  Senate 
in  this  year's  elections.  Every  Dem- 
ocratic seat  to  be  vacated  is  certain 
to  have  a  Democratic  incumbent 
after  the  votes  are  counted,  because 
of  that  situation  which  comes  once 
every  sLx  years  when  most  of  the 
Senators  from  the  "solid  South"  are 
re-elected.  Many  Republicans  are 
not  only  in  serious  danger  in  their 
own  primary  elections,  but  in  dan- 
ger of  being  defeated  by  Democratic 
opponents  in  the  finals.  If  the  Re- 
publican control  is  maintained  by 
as  much  as  one  or  two  votes,  even 
counting  the  so-called  Republican 
radical  bloc,  RepubUcan  leaders  will 
consider  themselves  fortunate  when 
the  new  Congress  is  organized  next 
March. 


'T'he  revolt  of  Iowa  Republican 
farmers  has  not  created  the  stir  at 
this  session  that  it  ha-s  in  the  past. 
The  crj'  of  "wolf"  has  been  heard  so 
often  that  it  is  losing  its  effective- 
ness. For  a  time  it  looked  as  if  the 
Iowa  threat  was  a  serious  menace 
to  the  administration,  but  it  is  be- 
lieved the  Coolidge  leaders  have  the 
situation  in  hand,  as  the  result  of 
their  advocacy  of  strengthening  the 
hands  of  the  farm  co-operative  asso- 
ciations. A  bill  giving  them  more 
power  and  strengthening  their  hands 
in  every  way  has  been  reported  to 
the  House.  During  the  debate  in 
the  committee  the  California  co- 
operatives were  lauded  by  almost 
everj'  speaker  as  shining  examples  of 
what  can  be  accomplished  bj'  the 
growers  through  organized  effort. 
"California  is  leading  American  ag- 
riculture out  of  the  depths  of  over 
production  and  incompetent  mar- 
keting methods,"  one  speaker  said. 


'T'he  Senate  Committee  on  Inter- 
■*■  state  Commerce  has  again  re- 
ported the  Gooding  long  and  short 
haul  bill  and  the  bill  may  pass  the 
Senate.  However,  it  is  believed  it 
wiU  encounter  insuperable  opposi- 
tion in  the  House  and  that  there  is 
no  immediate  danger  of  its  enact- 
ment. Seth  Mann  appeared  before 
the  committee  as  a  representative 
of  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce. 


v\N  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  FEBRUARY  10,  1926 


California,  the  Fruit  Center  of  the  Nation 


Denmark  5  per  cent,  Netherlands  5 
per  cent,  New  Zealand  5  per  cent 
and  China  5  per  cent.  Small  one- 
cent  packages  of  raisins  for  the 
Orient  market  have  greatly  in- 
creased the  sales  in  the  Far  East. 
The  natives  find  them  a  welcome 
addition  to  their  bowls  of  rice.  As 
with  other  dried  and  canned  fruits, 
smaller  quantities  are  shipped  to 
almost  every  country  listed  in  gov- 
ernment reports. 

France  vies  with  the  United  King- 
dom for  first  place  as  a  foreign 
market  for  California  prunes.  The 
French  demand  is  subject  to  wide 
fluctuations,  due  to  relative  crop 
conditions  in  France  and  California 
and  consequent  price  levels.  France 
takes  from  10  per  cent  to  30  per  cent 
or  even  40  per  cent  of  prune  exports. 
The  United  Kingdom  is  a  much 
steadier  market,  taking  25  per  cent 
to  30  per  cent  of  the  annual  exports. 
Canada  is  also  a  good  prune  market 
and  15  per  cent  to  20  per  cent  of  the 
foreign  shipments  are  sold  there. 
Sweden  takes  another  ,S  per  cent  to 
10  per  cent,  Netherlands  5  per  cent, 
Germany  from  5  per  cent  to  15  per 


[  continued  from  page  1.5 1 

cent.  Belgium  4  per  cent.  The  re- 
mainder of  the  exports  are  dis- 
patched in  small  amounts  to  a 
number  of  countries. 

Canada  takes  35  per  cent  of  dried 
peach  exports,  United  Kingdom  25 
per  cent,  Germany  12  to  15  per  cent, 
Sweden  10  per  cent,  Switzerland  5 
per  cent  and  France  3  per  cent. 
Netherlands,  the  Argentine  and  a 
number  of  other  countries  receive 
the  small  balance  of  other  dried 
peach  exports. 

Netherlands  is  Best  Market 
for  Dried  Apples 

The  dried  apple  exports  find  their 
best  market  in  the  Netherlands,  to 
which  countries  35  to  40  per  cent  of 
the  foreign  shipments  are  destined. 
Germany  takes  another  15  to  20 
per  cent,  Sweden  12  per  cent,  Eng- 
land 10  per  cent,  Denmark  8  per 
cent,  France  8  per  cent,  and  Belgium 
6  per  cent.  The  United  Kingdom 
does  not  buy  any  appreciable  quan- 
tity of  dried  apples  from  California. 
It  is,  however,  the  best  foreign 
market  for  fresh  apple  exports  from 
the  Pacific  Coast. 


The  Netherlands  also  take  15  to 
20  per  cent  of  dried  apricots,  fol- 
lowed by  Denmark  with  13  to  17 
per  cent.  United  Kingdom  12  to  15 
per  cent,  France  12  to  15  per  cent, 
Germany  10  to  12  per  cent,  Norway 
8  to  10  per  cent,  Belgium  5  to  7  per 
cent,  Sweden  6  per  cent  and  Japan 
3  per  cent.  Smaller  quantities  of 
apricots  are  also  sent  to  a  number  of 
lesser  markets. 

From  the  growers'  and  packers' 
point  of  view,  the  25  per  cent  of  the 
canned  and  dried  fruit  production 
which  must  be  marketed  abroad  is 
of  very  great  importance  as  it  con- 
tains the  differential  elements  which 
spell  net  profit  or  loss  for  the  annual 
crop.  The  domestic  markets  tend  to 
be  constant  and  steady  and  are  se- 
cure from  foreign  markets  by  tariff 
protection.  Abroad,  the  canned  and 
dried  fruits  of  the  United  States 
must  face  competition  with  local 
production  and  production  from 
other  countries,  varying  demand 
due  to  fluctuating  currency,  national 
industrial  depressions  and  luxury  or 
discriminatory    tariff    barriers.     A

TOWELS 

Give  to  Every  User 
His  Own  Towel 

In  buying  towels  you  must  consider  two  things 
—sanitation  and  economy.  PUBLIC  SERVICE 
TOWELS  are  not  only  sanitary  but  they  are 
economical. 

One  place  where  sanitation  is  important  is 
the  public  washroom.  To  keep  it  neat,  clean  and 
sanitary  is  a  duty  as  well  as  a  credit  to  the  one 
responsible  for  its  condition. 

PUBLIC  SERVICE  TOWELS  are  interleaved  in  packages  of  150  towels,  and  dispensed  from  an'attractive 
white  enameled  metal  cabinet  which  is  easily  attached  to  any  wall.  Start  the  first  towel  through  the  slot  in  the 
bottom  of  the  cabinet,  and  as  each  is  withdrawn,  the  next  towel  is  brought  into  position  ready  for  use. 

These  towels  are  made  to  quickly  absorb  moisture  and  yet  withstand  rubbing  without  leaving  objection- 
able Hnt.  They  are  doubled  over  at  the  pulling  end  to  add  strength. 

Let  us  send  you  prices  on  carton  lots  of  PUBLIC  SERVICE  TOWELS.

coal  strike  in  Kngland,  the  proposed 
revision  of  the  Japanese  tariff,  the 
adverse  balance  of  trade  in  Germany 
and  increased  taxation  in  France  are 
all  of  vital  importance  to  an  execu- 
tive in  the  California  fruit  industry. 
The  men  who  direct  the  destinies  of 
the  California  fruit  industry  are 
well  qualified  to  cope  with  any  situa- 
tion which  may  arise,  as  is  evidenced 
in  the  increased  and  steady  pros- 
perity of  the  industry  ;is  a  whole. 

Some  of  the  foreign  shipments  to 
Canada  and  Mexico  go  direct  by 
rail,  but  the  bulk  of  foreign  ship- 
ments and  many  of  the  domestic 
shipments  are  transported  via  the 
Panama  Canal.  Direct  shipment  to 
Europe  via  the  Canal  has  cut  C.I.F. 
costs  and  greatly  stimulated  de- 
mand. The  intercoastal  domestic 
shipments  are  also  very  heavy.  The 
Pananui  Canal  Record,  for  the 
year  ending  June  30,  1925,  lists 
236,936  cargo  tons,  each  ton  of 
2,240  pounds,  of  canned  fruit  pass- 
ing  through    the   Canal    from   the

west  coast  of  Canada  3,074  tons. 
For  the  same  period  131,395  tons  of 
dried  fruit  from  the  Pacific  States 
passed  through  the  canal.  Canada 
also  sent  4,219  tons  of  dried  fruit. 
By  far  the  majority  of  this  canned 
and  dried  fruit  cargo  comes  from 
San  Francisco  Bay.  The  destina- 
tions of  canned  fruits  passing  from 
the  Pacific  to  the  Atlantic  are  East

British  Isles  68,371  tons;  other 
ICurope  33,972  tons  and  smaller 
amounts  of  less  than  500  tons  to 
regions  elsewhere.  The  east  coast 
of  the  United  States  also  takes  most 
of  the  dried  fruit  shipments  through 
the  Canal  with  a  total  of  69,941 
tons,  followed  bv  Cont  inental  Europe 
44,319  tons  and  British  Isles  20,589

Captain  Dollar  Writes  for  the 
"Nation's  Business" 

Captain  Robert  Dollar,  of  San 
Francisco,  president  of  the  steam- 
ship company  bearing  his  name,  is  a 
contributor  to  the  February  number 
of  the  Xation's  Business  with  an  in- 
teresting and  instructive  account  of 
how  his  company  started  in  business 
in  1893  with  one  small  vessel  and  ex- 
panded its  activities  so  rapidly  that 
today  it  operates  27  ships,  including 
the  famous  Dollar  Company 
"  'Round-the-World"  service. 

"The  success  of  a  steamship  com- 
pany lies  in  the  service  it  performs 
for  both  traveler  and  shipper,"  is 
line  of  the  many  pertinent  comments 
in  Captain  Dollar's  article. 

Captain  Dollar  also  tells  how  he 
liuilt  up  his  company's  fleet  and  in- 
creased its  scope  of  trade  between 
twenty-one  Dollar  companies  in 
ports  of  call  throughout  the  world 
and  how  the  "  'Round-the-World" 
service,  now  starting  its  third  year, 
was  inaugurated. 


Handling  Charge  on  Import 
Oil  Absorbed 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Cham- 
ber is  in  receipt  of  advice  that  the 
United  States  Shipping  Board  has 
instructed  Struthers  &  Barry,  man- 
aging operators  of  the  American  Far 
East  Line  for  the  Shipping  Board,  to 
absorb  35  cents  per  ton  of  the  han- 
dling and  toll  charge  on  import  vege- 
table oil  moving  through  the  port  of 
San  Francisco  in  vessels  of  this  hne. 

The  Southern  Pacific,  Western  Pa- 
cific and  Santa  Fe  have  authorized 
the  publication  of  tariffs  whereby 
these  three  rail  lines  will  each  absorb 


35  cents  per  ton  of  the  handling  and 
toll  charges  on  vegetable  oil  import- 
ed through  San  Francisco. 

This  absorption  by  the  rail  and 
steamer  lines  at  San  Francisco  will 
place  this  port  on  a  parity  with 
Seattle,  where  the  handling  and 
wharfage  charge  on  import  vegetable 
oils  is  being  jointly  absorbed  by  the 
rail  and  steamer  lines  since  Novem- 
ber 18,  1925. 


Customs  Tarifi  Revision 
Proposed  to  Japanese  Diet 

General  revision  of  the  customs 
tariff  of  Japan  has  been  proposed  to 
the  Japanese  Diet,  now  in  session, 
by  the  Imperial  Government,  ac- 
cording to  information  received  by 
the  Foreign  Trade  Department  of 
the  Chamiier  of  Commerce  from  the 
San  Francisco  office  of  the  Consul 
General  of  Japan. 

Specific  duties  will  be  adopted  as 
far  as  possible  as  a  matter  of  con- 
venience, the  message  stated.  Food 
stuffs,  necessities  and  articles  not 
produced  in  Japan  will  be  admitted 
free  or  subject  to  only  minimum 
duties. 

Competitive  duties  will  be  placed 
on  foreign  commodities  which  now 
are  produced  by  established  indus- 
tries in  Japan.  Infant  industries 
will  be  protected  and  luxury  duties 
remain  intact.

LEADS  for  NEW  BUSINESS 


C^ ' 

A  new  firm  entering  a  new  territory  must  mak 
new  friends,  and  eetabliabed  firms  have  a  chance  of, 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  businesB  from 
somen  if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  Thia 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  It  is  a  compilation  of  the  names  of 
new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  from  many  sources.  It  is  released  with- 
out specific  check-up,  as  firms  generally  prefer  to 
investigate  for  themaelvea  without  waiting  for  de- 
tailed verification.  In  addition  to  new  concerns  the 
list  includes  reports  of  removals  and  expansions.

INDUSTRY  "BEGINS  at  HOME" 


Civic  Expansion 
is  Determined  by 
Local  Initiative, 
Expert  Declares 


.& 


NDUSTRIAL  expansion 
in  a  community  must 
li  i\  !■  its  inception  within 
till'  community  and  be 
independent  of  outside 
sources,  according  to  C'olvin  B. 
Brown,  head  of  the  organization 
service  bureau  of  the  I'nitod  States 
C'hamlier  of  Commerce.  Mr.  Brown 
is  touring  the  country  as  the  Na- 
tional Chamber's  "contact  man"and 
is  to  visit  more  than  20  chambers  of 
commerce  in  this  state.  He  was 
guest  at  a  luncheon  in  the  Commer- 
cial Club  this  week  attended  by  ex- 
ecutive officers  and  staff  members  of 
the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. 

"The  growth  of  a  city's  indu.strial 
life,"  he  said,  "generally  is  deter- 
mined by  its  origin.  I  do  not  mean 
by  this  that  a  city  should  not  be  on 
the  alert  to  induce  so-called  'out- 
side' industries  to  locate  in  the  city, 
but,  fundamentally,  when  you  speak 
of  a  city's  industrial  expansion  you 
are  i-eferi'ing  to  those  industries 
which  owe  their  existence  to  local  en- 
terprise and  initiative.". 

The  one  positive  medium  through 
wliich  a  city  can  develop  all  its  attri- 
butes, according  to  Mr.  Brown,  is  a 
chamber  of  commerce.  Mr.  Brown 
said  he  defined  a  chamber  of  com- 
merce as  a  big  organization  of  busi- 
ness men  who  believe  in  the  purposes 
of  the  chamber  and  who  are  united

Sup|)osc  you  were  left  an  iiu'ome  of  $100.00  a  week  fnr  life?  Where  would 
\ oil  live? 

A  man  who  had  this  very  thing  happen  to  him  wrote  to  the  Editor  of  the 
Biisliiii  f'lirst.  "What  city  in  all  the  world,"  he  a.sked,  "offers  the  beist  advan- 
tages ill  the  way  of  economy  of  living  coupled  with  the  interesting  and  enjoyalile 
thiiiRs  of  life?" 

Here  i.s  the  way  P.  D.  King,  world  traveler  and  noted  writer,  sums  it  up, 
after  carefully  analyzing  them  all: 

"SAN  FRANCI.SCO  FIRST,  Genoa  second,  and  Shanghai  third, 

for  the  man  with  .$100.00  a  week,  who  is  seeking  a  place  where  life  at 

its  fullest  might  be  found." 

And  that  goes  for  the  man  who  makes  $30.00  a  week,  or  $1000.00  a  week 
(if  anv  one  makes  that  much  monev)— SAN  FRANCISPO  FIRST.

the  best  interests  of  the  city  in  which 
they  live. 

"A  chamber  of  commerce,  "  he  de- 
clared, "is  the  one  competent  and 
effective  factor  in  progressive  civic 
endeavor.  Membership  in  a  cham- 
ber of  commerce  is  tangible  proof 
that  the  individual  or  firm  member 
is  interested  actively  in  the  welfare 
of  the  community;  it  is  an  emblem 
of  good  citizen.ship." 


6,182  Bales  of  Cotton  from 
Madera  County 

Madera  County's  contribution  to 
the  world's  supply  of  cotton  this  year 
amounts,  up  to  February  1.5,  to 
6,182  bales,  the  amount  handled  by 
the  county's  four  gins.  This  cotton 
has  been  of  high  quality  and  has 
brought  a  good  price  to  growers. 
Some  growers  have  not  yet  finished 
picking,  having  been  delayed  by 
foggy  weather,  and  the  total  will 
probably  reach  about  6,500  bales.

comers  if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This

Chamber  of  Commerce  Scores  in 
Long-Fought  ''Trap  Car"  Case 


HE  importance  to  ship- 
pers of  freight  in  Cali- 
fornia of  the  decision  of 
the  Raih-oad  Commis- 
sion in  the  so-called 
"trap  car"  case  is  emphasized  in 
a  statement  from  Seth  Mann, 
attorney  and  manager  of  the  traffic 
bureau  of  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce.  The  Chamber 
of  Commerce  was  the  complain- 
ant in  the  case  so  far  as  it  related 
to  the  Southern  Pacific  and  Atchi- 
son, Topeka  and  Santa  Fe  railroads. 
The  decision  of  the  Railroad  Com- 
mission in  favor  of  the  shippers  and 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  ended  a 
fight  instituted  two  years  ago. 

As  a  result  of  the  commission's 
decision,  it  is  said  by  shippers,  the 
existence  of  discrimination  between 
this  city  and  Oakland  and  other 
East  Bay  cities  in  the  matter  of 
"trap  car"  rates  has  been  elimi- 
nated. 

"The  commission,"  Mr.  Mann  a.s- 
serted,  "has  ordered  the  Southern 
Pacific  Company  and  the  Atchison, 
Topeka  and  Santa  Fe  Railway  Com- 
pany, who  were  the  only  railroad 
defendants  in  the  suit  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce,  to 
estabHsh  on  or  before  March  15, 
1926,  on  notice  of  not  less  than  ten 
days,  a  charge  of  $2.70  per  car  for 
trap  car  service,  subject  to  a  mini- 
mum line  haul  revenue  of  $15  per 
car,  and  to  cancel  items  now  in  the 
tariff  in  conflict  with  this  adjust- 
ment." 

The  commission's  decision  also 
will  affect  the  Western  Pacific,  Los 
Angeles  &  Salt  Lake,  the  San  Diego 
&  Arizona,  and  Pacific  Electric  raQ- 
way  lines.  In  commenting  on  this, 
Mr.  Mann  said: 

"This  further  order  should  result 
in  the  establishment  at  all  stations 
in  California  of  this  service,  so  de- 
fined, and  at  all  stations  where  there 


Bay  District  Should  be 

Well  Represented  at 

Buyers'  Session 

The  National  .Association  of 
Purchasing  Agents  will  hold  a 
convention  in  Los  Angeles  June 
9  to  June  12  and  the  Purchasing 
Agents'  .Association  of  Northern 
California  wants  San  Francisco 
to  be  adequately  represented  at 
the  meeting. 

As  the  first  move  in  this  direc- 
tion the  association  has  inaug- 
urated a  vigorous  membership 
campaign. 

"We  particularly  want  con- 
cerns whohavepurchasingagents 
who  are  not  members  of  our  or- 
ganization to  join  the  associa- 
tion," states  Harry  F.  Kolb, 
president  of  the  association,  in 
a  letter  to  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. 

More  than  300  members  are 
listed  at  the  association's  offices 
at  433  California  street. 


are  interchange  tracks  between  these 
different  roads  a  reciprocal  trap-car 
service — that  is  to  say  these  carriers 
are  authorized  to  establish  a  service 
by  which  one  carrier  will  receive 
from  or  deliverto  aconnectingcarrier 
a  trap  car  originating  at  spur  tracks." 
"The  trap  car  service  has  many 
advantages  to  consignees  and  con- 
signors in  the  convenience  of  dispo- 
sition of  the  tonnage  and  elimination 
of  the  drayage  charges,"  the  com- 
mission's order  read.  "On  the  other 
hand  there  are  benefits  to  the  carrier 
of  which  sight  must  not  be  lost,  par- 
ticularly where  large  shippers  em- 
ploy for  outgoing  less  than  carload 
movement  the  equipment  reaching 
the  industry  tracks  carload  freight. 
Carrier  also  has  the  benefit  of  a  cur- 
tailment of  space  at  its  local  termi- 
nal freight  depots  and  the  elimina- 
tion of  vehicular  congestion  during 
the  peak  of  the  shipping  hours." 


Resale  Vote  Canvass  Figures 
Made  Public 

The  results  of  the  preliminary 
canvass  of  the  balloting  on  Referen- 
dum 47,  which  bears  on  legislation 
respecting  resale  prices,  hiis  been  re- 
ceived by  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  from  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  of  the  United  States  of 
America  which  is  conducting  the 
canvass. 

In  accordance  with  the  by-laws  of 
the  United  States  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, each  referendum  closes  at  the 
end  of  forty-five  days  after  the  ques- 
tions have  been  submitted  to  the 
organizations  in  the  membership. 
Immediately  after  the  balloting 
closes,  at  midnight  of  the  forty-fifth 
day,  a  preliminary  canvass  is  made 
of  the  votes  which  have  been  cast. 
At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Board  of 
Directors,  or  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  the  Board  of  Directors, 
which  follows,  the  canvass  is  re- 
viewed and  made  final. 

The  results  of  the  preliminary 
canvass  of  the  balloting  in  Referen- 
dum 47  which  closed  on  February  2,

Instead  of  such  legislation,  should  Con-

law  of  unfair  competition  the  cutting  of 
the  seller's  declared  price  which  results

Under  the  by-laws  the  United  States 
Chamber  is  committed  on  a  proposition 
submitted  to  referendum  by  a  two-thirds 
vote  representing  at  least  twenty  states, 
providing  at  Ica.st  one-third  of  the  voting 
strength  of  the  Clmmber  has  been  polled. 

The  preliminary  canvass  indicates  that 
the  Chamber  has  no  position  on  questions 
I  to  IV  inclusive,  while  the  Chamber  is 
committed  in  opposition  to  proposition  V. 


Two  Philippine  Ports  are 
Given  New  Status 

The  ports  of  Uavao  and  Lc'ga.spi. 
Philippine  Islands,  have  been  ereated 
.sul>ports  of  entry,  according  to  in- 
forniatifin  received  by  tlie  Foreign 
Trade  Department  of  the  Chamber 
of  Connnerce  from  the  Bureau  of 
Insuhir  Affairs,  War  Department, 
Washington. 

The  creation  of  ports  of  entry  at 
these  cities  will  assist  in  bringing 
about  direct  commerce  between  the 
Philippine  Islands  and  foreign  coun- 
tries, as  an  expensive  trans-shipment 
at  Manila  is  avoided.  Trade  be- 
tween San  Francisco  and  the  Philip- 
pines will  be  further  stimulated  by 
this  action.  The  port  of  ^lasbate 
will  not  be  opened  to  foreign  trade 
as  the  office  of  the  Governor  General 
of  the  Philippine  Islands  did  not  be- 
lieve that  its  commercial  importance 
warranter!  this  step  for  the  present.

LEADS  fer  NEW  BUSINESS 


o^ 

A  new  firm  entering  a  new  territory  must  make 
new  friends,  and  established  firms  have  a  chance  of 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  new- 
comers if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber

new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of

out specific  check-up.  as  firms  generally  prefer  to 
investigate  for  themselves  without  waiting  for  de- 
tailed verification.  In  addition  to  new  concerns  the 
list  includes  reports  of  removals  and  expansions. 

Business  men  can  enhance  the  value  of  this  serv- 
ice and  make  this  department  a  clearing  bouse  for

BusiiNE-is,  through  the  courtesy  of

Department  provides  an  extension  of  time 
to  May  15  to  individuals  whose  net  in- 
come exceeds  $5,000  and  domestic  corpo- 
rations, provided  tentative  returns  are 
filed  on  or  before  March  15  accompanied 
by  one-fourth  of  the  estimated  tax. 

Income  taxes  may  be  paid  in  four  in- 
stallments; one  when  the  return  is  filed, 
the  second  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the 
third  month,  the  third  on  the  fifteenth 
day  of  the  sixth  month  and  the  fourth  on 
the  fifteenth  day  of  the  ninth  month  after 
the  time  fi.\ed  by  law  for  filing  the  return. 

The  Act  provides  for  personal  exemp- 
tions and  credits.  A  single  person  or  a 
married  person  not  living  with  husband 
or  wife  may  claim  a  personal  exemption 
of  $1,500.  A  person  who,  during  the  en- 
tire taxable  year,  was  the  head  of  a  family 
or  was  married  and  living  with  a  husband 
or  wife  may  claim  an  exempticn  of  $3,500. 


The  former  exemptions  were,  respectively, 
$1,000  and  $2,500. 

An  estate  or  trust  may  claim  an  exemp- 
tion of  $1,500  instead  ofSl,000  astormerly. 

The  "head  of  a  family"  is  defined  to  be 
one  who  actually  supports  and  maintains

If  a  husl-'aml  and  wife  who  are  living  to- 
gether have  an  aggregate  net  income  of 
$3,5(X)  or  more  or  an  aggregate  gross  in- 
come of  $5,000  or  more,  a  return  shall  be 
made  Ijy  each,  or  the  income  of  each  shall 
be  included  in  a  single  joint  return. 

The  tax  rate  and  amount  of  tax  on  a  net 
income,  subject  to  normal  and  surtax  in 
the  case  of  a  personal  exemption  of  $3,500, 
for  example,  would  l)e: 

Amount  of  net  income,  $3,500;  normal 
tax,  nothing;  normal  tax  plus  surtax, 
nothing;  gross  tax,  nothing;  net  amount 
of  tax,  nothing. 

A  further  provision  of  the  Revenue  .\ct 
provides  a  twenty-five  percent  return  to 
the  taxpayer  on  what  is  known  as  an 
''earned  income."  The  amoimt  of  "earned 
income"  has  a  fi\.'d  miiiimum  of  -So. 000 
and  a  fixed  maMinnin  uf  S;L'li,nilO. 

The  law  pr.. VI. Irs  ilci  ili.-  tax  of  an  in- 
dividual shall  lie  rndilni  with  twenty- 
five  percent  of  the  tax  which  w'ould  be 
payable  if  his  "earned  net  income"  con- 
stituted his  entire  net  income. 

If  the  taxpayer's  net  income  is  not  more 
than  $5,000  his  net  income  shall  be  con- 
sidered to  be  earned  income;  if  his  net  in- 
come is  in  excess  of  $5,000  his  earned  net 
income  shall  be  considered  to  be  less  than 
$5,000. 

The  "twenty-five  percent  earned  in- 
come credit"  in  no  instance  can  exceed  25 
percent  of  the  taxpayer's  normal  tax,  plus 
25  percent  of  the  taxpayer's  surtax  if  his 
earned  net  income  constituted  his  entire 
income. 

"Earned  net  income"  is  "earned  in- 
come" minus  "earned  income  deduc- 
tions." Under  this  heading  is  included 
\vages,  salaries,  professional  fees  and 
other  sums  received  for  personal  services 
actually  rendered. 

A  special  notice  issued  by  Collector 
McLaughlin  fixes  the  surtax  rates  for  1925 
as  follows:

NATIONAL  BUSINESS 
SHOW  WILL  ATTRACT 
THOUSANDS   TO  CITY 


I;ADING  this  year  in' 
national  business  shows, 
San  Francisco  is  "all 
si't"  to  entertain  next 
week  the  men  who  make 
the  office  paraphernalia  of  the  coun- 
try. The  show,  which  is  the  first 
one  this  year  in  the  United  States, 
marks  the  fourth  such  event  re- 
corded in  the  history  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. It  will  be  held  in  the  Exposi- 
tion Auditorium,  beginning  Monday 
and  continuing  until  the  following 
Saturday. 

While  scores  of  inventors  and 
originators  of  new  office  systems,  as 
well  as  men  of  capital  who  back  the 
office  supply  industries,  will  gather 
here  from  elsewhere,  there  will  be 
many  San  Franciscans  taking  a 
leading  part  in  the  exposition.  The 
citj^'s  status  as  a  manufacturing 
center  has  caused  it  to  loom  high  in 
the  office  supply  field  as  well  as  in 
other  industrial  classifications. 

"EXECUTIVES'  DAYS" 
Arrangements  have  been  made 
for  two  "executives'  days"  at  the 
exposition,  at  which  departmental 
heads  and  owners  of  firms  will  be 
the  only  persons  admitted.  These 
occasions  are  set  for  Tuesday  and 
Thursday.  Members  of  purchasing 
agent  associations  will  be  welcomed 
particularly  on  Friday  and  out  of 
town  business  men  on  Saturday,  the 
final  day.

BUSINESS 


Publuihpd  weekly  by  the  San  Krancuco  Chamber  of 
Commerce.  205  Merchanu  ExchanRc.  Tetephooe 
Kearny  ]12.  Subncription,  S4  a  year.  Entered  as 
aeeond-claas  matter  July  2, 1920,  at  the  Poatotfice.SaD

River  and  Harbor  Growth 
Program  Up  for  Action 

For  the  fir.st  time  in  hi.story  a  con- 
certed movement  is  being  made  to 
bring  together  all  Pacific  CV)a.st  in- 
terests in  the  adoption  of  a  program 
for  the  development  of  rivers  and 
harbors  of  the  Coast  states. 

The  rivers  ami  harbors  program 
was  the  subject  of  a  one-day  con- 
ference held  Wednesday,  March 
3rd,  in  conjunction  with  the 
fourth  annual  convention  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Foreign  Trade  Coun- 
cil, at  the  Hotel  Whitcomb,  Thurs- 
day, Frida\-  find  Saturday.  All  in- 
terests affected,  from  the  Canadian 
line  tfi  the  Mexican  border,  have 
been  brought  into  the  movement. 

Chamber  of  Commerce  execu- 
tives, .shipping  and  transportation 
interests,  representatives  of  the 
United  States  Coast  Guard  Service 
and  Geodetic  Survey  will  be  in  at- 
tendance. 

There  is  a  growing  realization, 
according  to  tho.se  in  charge  of  the 
meeting,  that  only  through  the  adop- 
tion of  a  unified  program  of  develop- 
ment can  Pacific  Coast  ports  and 
river  cities  hope  to  compete  with  the 
Atlantic  seaboard  and  other  sec- 
tions demanding  Federal  aid. 

With  the  formulation  and  adop- 
tion of  a  river  and  harbor  program 
there  is  every  assurance  now  that 
the  Pacific  Coast  will  have  the  ad- 
vantage of  solidarity  in  its  demands 
on  Congress.  Norman  F.  Titus, 
assistant  manager  of  the  McCormick 
Steamship  Company  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, is  chairman  of  the  Rivers  and 
Harbors  Committee,  calling  the  con- 
ference, and  Arthur  G.  Ai'nold,  sec- 
retary-manager of  the  Los  Angeles 
Chamber,  is  secretary. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Rivers 
and  Harbors  Committee  was  held  a 
year  ago  in  Seattle.  Since  that  time, 
however,  the  movement  has  won  for 
itself  a  hundred  per  cent  representa- 
tion of  Pacific  Coast  interests.  Lead- 
ers are  looking  forward  to  the  San 
Francisco  meeting  as  marking  the 
greatest  stride  to  date  in  Pacific 
Coast  unity.

C^ 

A  new  firm  enterinn  a  new  territory  must  make 
new  friends,  and  established  firms  have  a  chance  of 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  new- 
comers if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce.  It  is  a  compilation  of  the  names  of 
new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  from  many  sources.  It  is  released  with- 
out specific  check-up,  as  firms  generally  prefer  to 
investigate  for  themselves  without  waiting  for  de- 
tailed verification.  In  addition  to  new  concerns  the 
list  includes  reports  of  removals  and  expansions. 

Business  men  can  enhance  the  value  of  this  serv- 
ice and  make  this  department  a  clearing  house  for 
such  news  by  mailing  in  or  telephoning  tips  to

Meeting  the  foreign  Traders 


By    RALPH    J.    SCANLON 


HE  Pacific  Foreign  Trade 
Council  was  organized  in 
Seattle  at  the  close  of 
the  war  period  by  a 
group  of  clear-sighted 
l>usiii(<^  men  who  realized  that  the 
Piicitic  Cuast  is  a  commercial  unit 
and  that  there  are  special  foreign 
trade  problems  peculiar  to  this  re- 
gion which  cannot  by  their  very 
nature  be  given  adequate  considera- 
tion at  the  sessions  of  the  national 
organization. 

Four  conventions  have  been  held, 
one  each  at  Seattle,  Tacoma,  Port- 
land and  San  Francisco.  At  the 
fourth  convention,  in  San  Francisco, 
March  4  to  6  of  this  year,  of  which 
R.  I.  Bentley  of  the  California  Pack- 
ing Corporation  was  chairman  and 
Henry  F.  Grady,  director  of  the 
Foreign  Trade  Department  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, was  secretary,  the  delegates 
decided  to  "follow  the  birds  to  Vic- 
toria," British  Columbia,  for  their 
ne.xt  convention  accepting  the  in- 
vitation of  the  civic  bodies  there  as 
another  token  of  the  friendly  rela- 
tions existing  between  the  peoples 
of  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
Further  conventions  will  undoubt- 
edly take  place  at  other  important 
and  growing  foreign  trade  centers  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  such  as  Los 
Angeles,  Oakland  and  San  Diego. 

Tangible  Results 

It  may  well  be  asked  and  it  has 
been  asked,  does  a  foreign  trade  con- 
vention of  this  nature  produce 
tangible  results  sufficient  to  justify 
its  existence?  Emphatically  it  does, 
as  can  be  abundantly  demonstrated. 

The  West  has  problems  with  re- 
lation to  production  and  distribu- 
tion apart  from  other  sections  of  the 
United  States.  Port  cities  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  and  interior  cities  of 
the  West  should  work  out  these 
problems  together  for  the  best  in- 
terests of  all  concerned.  Other  sec- 
tions of  the  United  States  are  organ- 
ized for  the  promotion  and  protec- 
tion of  their  own  interests  and  east- 
ern business  men  are  engrossed  with 
their  own  immediate  needs.  There- 
fore it  falls  to  the  lot  of  the  Pacific 
Foreign  Trade  Council,  which  has 
the  co-operation  of  all  the  commer- 
cial organizations  in  the  Pacific 
Coast-Rocky  Mountain  region,  to 
initiate  and  carry  on  the  work  of 
uniting  the  states  affected. 


The  intention  of  the  program  for 
organization  is  not  to  be  provincial 
in  scope  or  attitude,  but  to  aid  in 
developing  the  West  and  at  the  same 
time  insure  the  confidence  of  the 
Middle  West  and  East,  thereby 
strengthening  the  position  of  all 
three  great  divisions  of  the  United 
States  on  national  and  international 
matters. 

The  problems  of  international  re- 
lations and  adjustments  are  so  tre- 
mendous that  Americans  as  individ- 
uals, and  the  nation  as  a  whole,  can- 
not succeed  unless  there  is  behind 
them  an  enlightened  public  opinion 
and  the  co-operation  of  their  govern- 
ment. It  is  therefore  the  aim  of  this 
organization  to  enlightenitsmembers 
and  the  public  in  general  on  matters 
of  mutual  importance  to  the  country 
west  of  the  Rooky  Mountains  and 
to  have  it  known  throughout  the 
world  that  it  is  a  substantial  and 
permanent  structiu-e. 

Awakens  Interest 

The  Pacific  Foreign  Trade  Coun- 
cil includes  the  following  states, 
provinces  and  territories:  Alaska, 
British  Columbia,  Washington, 
Idaho,  Montana,  Wyoming,  Oregon, 
California,  Nevada,  Utah,  Colorado, 
Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  Hawaii, 
with  an  area  of  two  million  square 
miles.  The  foreign  commerce  for  the 
United  States  Pacific  Coast  for  1925 
amounted  to  one  billion  dollars,  as 
compared  with  but  130  milhons  in 
1900,  showing  an  average  increase  of 
35  million  dollars  per  year;  and  66 
million  tons  of  foreign,  intercoastal 
and  coastwise  cargo  was  moved  by 
water  to  and  from  Pacific  Coast 
ports  in  the  year  1925,  or  eight 
thousand  eight  hundred  shiploads. 

Nothing  is  more  instrumental  in 
awakening  an  interest  in  foreign 
trade  than  foreign  trade  confer- 
ences, such  as  this,  from  time  to 
time.  This  brings  together  business 
men,  bankers,  manufacturers,  farm- 
ers, railroad  and  steamship  men,  im- 
porters and  exporters,  all  of  whom 
are  equally  interested,  and  assists 
them  to  become  better  acquainted 
and  to  form  contacts  for  concen- 
trated action  in  dealing  with  na- 
tional and  industrial  policies. 

Many  conventions  are  mainly 
social  and  vacational  in  character 
and  whatever  benefits  may  accrue 
from  them  cannot  be  readily  gauged. 
While  the  personal  contacts  between 


those  engaged  in  a  common  occupa- 
tion in  the  same  commercial  area  are 
a  not  inconsequential  by-product  of 
the  recent  convention,  the  main 
business  of  the  convention  was  busi- 
ness. Sessions  started  promptly  on 
time  and  consisted  of  authoritative 
monographs  on  subjects  of  technical 
foreign  trade  interest.  There  were 
no  dilatory  recesses.  The  luncheon 
speakers  confined  themselves  to 
topics  vital  to  the  life  and  growth  of 
commercial  prosperity.  Group  ses- 
sions were  held  in  the  evening  to 
cover  specialized  subjects  on  coun- 
tries, credit  and  entrepot  trade.  Even 
the  banquet  had  an  atmosphere  of 
serious  business  interspersed  with 
the  entertaimnent  features.  The 
banquet  speakers  each  had  a  real 
contribution  to  make  to  the  sum 
total  of  thought  and  ideas  brought 
out  during  the  convention.  Also  the 
boat  trip  around  the  bay  on  the 
steamer  Angel  Island,  by  courtesy 
of  John  D.  Nagle,  Conunissioner  of 
Immigration,  and  the  auto  rides 
in  San  Francisco  and  the  East  Bay, 
included  a  survey  of  the  harbor 
facilities  and  industrial  development 
of  the  San  Francisco  Bay  district. 

Lots  of  "Shop"  Talk 

Perhaps  it  may  seem  to  an  on- 
looker that  the  convention  "talked 
shop"  with  a  vengeance.  It  did. 
That  was  its  business.  But  it  was 
not  common  ordinary  shop  talk. 
Matters  of  group  interest  as  well  as 
items  of  individual  significance  which 
do  not  ordinarily  come  to  the  fore- 
front in  the  course  of  daily  trade  but 
which  have  a  distinct  bearing  on  the 
sum  total  of  all  trade,  rendered  the 
program  one  of  intense  interest  to 
the  delegates.  "Agricultural  Prod- 
ucts the  Basis  of  West  Coast  Pros- 
perity, Necessit}'  for  Their  Increased 
Export,"  by  Ralph  Meri'itt,  presi-

by  the  Trcasurj'  and  Post  Office  De- 
partments for  the  construction  of 
new  Federal  Iniildinps  in  Cahfornia. 
Trea,sury  antl  post  office  e.\i)erts 
have  estimated  that  the  new  FVderal 
buildinp  for  San  Francisco  will  cost 
$4,310,000.  Oakland  is  on  another 
list,  but  is  lielieved  to  be  assured  of 
a  new  building  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  its  present  post  office  structure 
and  site  can  be  sold  for  sufficient 
funds  to  erect  one.  Other  California 
cities  on  the  preferred  list  are  Los 
Angeles,  83,000,000;  Sacramento, 
$1,275,000;  Stockton,  8510,000.  The 
PubHc  Buildings  Bill,  making  the 
necessarv  appropriation  for  8165,- 
000,000  worth  of  public  buildings  all 
over  the  United  States,  has  been 
passed  by  the  House  and  is  now 
pending  on  the  Senate  calendar, 
where  early  and  favorable  action  is 
anticipated

of  the  new  16-inch  rifles  for  the  de- 
fense of  San  Francisco  Bay  instead 
of  two.  It  costs  nearly  one  million 
dollars  to  install  one  gun,  so  that  the 
department  is  proceeding  slowly  in 
developing  this  big  gun  program. 
Most  of  the  weapons  themselves  are 
supplied  bj'  the  Naw  from  guns 
built  immediateh'  after  the  war.

half  of  the  magnesite  production  in 
the  United  States,  according  to 
figures  just  given  out  by  Secretary 
Hoover.  Six  operators  at  seven 
mines  produced  64,600  tons  of 
magnesite,  valued  at  8872,100. 
Magnesite  importations  still  remain 
greatly  in  excess  of  the  domestic 
production.  Those  interested  in  the

Exchange,  is  working  with  the 
L'nited  States  Bureau  of  Chemistry

The  ultimate  objective  is  to  make 
orange  culls  worth  as  much  in  the 
bottle  as  the  large  sun-kissed  ripe 
fruit  sold  in  the  East.  Hall  and  the 
Government  chemists  have  carried

that  they  have  reduced  ten  thousand

CURTIS      REDFERN 


NKNOWN  to  most  San 
Franciscans  a  great  and 
growing  industry  invades 
San  Franciscoeach  morn- 
ing  before  dawn.  Almost 
un-iM'ii  it  f'  lids  its  wares  into  packing 
brixes  wliieh  are  hurried  across  the 
bay  to  waiting  trains  to  be  carried  to 
the  far-away  markets  of  the  Atlantic 
Seaboard  cities,  into  Canada,  and 
south  into  Mexico. 

This  business  of  cut  flowers  began 
in  1915  and  in  ten  years  has  grown  to 
such  an  extent  that  it  is  the  largest 
customer  of  the  American  Railway 
Express  Company  in  San  Francisco, 
paying  that  company  as  much  as 
$5,000  a  day  for  its  services.  The 
flower  business  itself  is  a  ten-million- 
dollar  one  and  is  increasing  25  per 
cent  a  j'ear. 

Flowers  and  Plants 
Beautified  Exposition 

The  year  1915  lingers  in  the  mem- 
ories of  San  Franciscans  as  our 
dream  year — the  Exposition  Year, 
when  the  city  by  the  Golden  Gate 
staged  her  mammoth  comeback 
from  the  staggering  blows  of  1906. 

Of  the  many  factors  that  made 
our  exffosition  better  and  different 
than  former  expositions,  one  was  the 
prodigious  use  of  flowers  and  plants. 
There  was  a  gala  procession  of 
flowers  from  the  millions  of  daffodils 
and  hyacinths  of  the  opening  week, 
through  the  colorful  changes  as  each 
month  brought  her  floral  offerings  of 
pansies,  violas,  orange  blossoms, 
irises,  gladioli,  sweet  peas,  roses, 


chrysanthemums,  to  the  triumphant 
blaze  of  glory  of  the  many-hued 
queen  of  autumn  flowers,  the  dahlia. 
Visitors  to  San  Francisco  were 
hard  pressed  to  find  superlatives 
enough  to  go  around  and  the  wiser 
ones  contented  themselves  by  feast- 
ing their  eyes  on  the  glorious  pro- 
fusion of  beauty  and  did  not  try  to 
describe  it. 

Nothing  Unusual  to  the 
Home  Follis 

The  home  folks  looked  on  this  dis- 
play as  a  matter-of-fact  affair;  to 
them  it  was  nothing  new,  the  street 
flower  vendors  and  the  florists'  win- 
dows blazoned  with  each  season's 
choicest  contributions  from  Flora, 
and  Golden  Gate  Park  always  had  a 
wealth  of  bloom.  Their  homes  if  not 
their  gardens  always  had  flowers,  and 
they  had  the  reputation  of  spending 
more  per  capita  for  flowers  than  any 
other  city  in  the  world.  Flowers 
were  on  the  hst  of  the  day's  pur- 
chases as  regularly  as  food  for  the 
table. 

Artichokes  appear  in  the  title  to 
this  article  for  a  very  good  reason, 
for  this  vegetable  was  a  forerunner 
of  the  cut-flower  industry  of  today. 
In  1915,  the  American  Railway  E.x- 
press  Company's  representatives  in 
San  Francisco,  as  an  experiment, 
placed  a  refrigerator  express  car  into 
service  between  San  Francisco  and 
the  East  and  invited  the  local  arti- 
choke growers  to  use  the  service. 
Fresh  artichokes  were  soon  being 
served  in  New  York  cafes.    They 


stood  the  trip  so  well  that  within  a 
few  months  they  were  going  east  by 
fast  freight  instead  of  by  the  more 
expensive  express.  It  was  then  that 
Mr.  W.  A.  Lewis,  commercial  agent 
of  the  company,  was  detailed  to 
solve  the  problem  of  finding  a  sub- 
stitute for  the  wayward  artichoke. 
On  St.  Anne  street,  jast  off  of 
Bush  street,  several  wholesale  florists 
had  stores  where  the  local  florists 
came  for  their  supply  of  flowers. 
Business  had  been  none  too  good; 
overproduction  seemed  always  to 
threaten  the  growers,  and,  in  an 
effort  to  maintain  prices,  the  day's 
unsold  stock  was  literally  guillotined. 
Thousands  of  beautiful  chrysanthe- 
mums were  being  decapitated  like 
criminals  one  day  when  Mr.  Lewis 
happened  by.  The  economic  and 
esthetic  waste  occasioned  by  this 
ruthless  destruction  caused  him  to 
pause  and  ponder,  ^\^ly  not  ship 
'mums  in  those  refrigerator  cars? 

Eastern  Market 
Instantly  Created 

The  destruction  was  halted,  and 
as  an  expermient  several  boxes  of 
chrysanthemums  were  consigned  to 
the  express  company's  eastern 
agents.  A  market  was  created  almost 
instantly.  The  splendid  service  ren- 
dered by  the  express  and  railway 
companies  delivered  the  flowers  to 
the  eastern  markets  in  fine  condi- 
tion. The  flowers  themselves  were 
superior  to  any  grown  elsewhere,  as 
our  long  cool  growing  season  brings

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  MARCH  10,   1!)2G 


Cyinother  i\ew  jkymark 


IAN  FRANCISCO  has 
not  entirely  lost  the  in- 
dividualism of  the  pio- 
neer times.  Kven  in  these 
days  of  Community 
Chest  and  the  teamwork  for  which 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  stands, 
individualism  does  not  yet  walk  on 
crutches. 

In  many  other 
cities  such  a  great 
project  as  the  con- 
struction of  the 
largest  and  tallest 
office  building  on  the 
Pacific  CJoast  would 
have  called  for  citi- 
zens' mass  meetings 
and  sought  the  sup- 
port of  "endorse- 
ments." 

Not  so  in  San  Fran- 
cisco, where  the  new 
Russ  Building  will 
soon  rise  thirty 
stories  from  Mont- 
gomery street,  mark- 
ing the  financial  cen- 
ter of  the  West. 

The  two  invest- 
ment-bond houses 
that  conceived  this 
great  undertaking 
have  underwritten 
all  the  securities  and 
offer  them  to  the 
public,  thus  creating 
the  new  precedent  of 
public  ownership. 
Building  on  pioneer 
ground — this  block 
between  Pine  and 
Bush  streets  has  been 
in  the  ownership  of 
the  Ru.ss  family  since 
1847— E.  H.  RoUins 
&  Sons  and  Blyth, 
Witter  &  Co.  have 
shown  the  true  pio- 
neer spirit  in  working 
out  all  the  prelinii- 
nar}'  difficulties  with- 
out calling  for  help, 
or  the  endorsement 
that  would  readily  have  been  given. 
This  great  structure  means  much 
to  San  Francisco,  for  it  establishes 
the  metropolitan  character  of  the 
San  Francisco  financial  district.  It 
is  also  interesting  to  learn  that  on 
the  initial  day  of  the  offering  the 
Rollins  Boston  office  sold  $60,000  of 
the  certificates  representing  pre- 
ferred and  common  stock  to  New 


England  investors,  and  reports  from 
other  parts  of  the  East  indicate  a 
similar  desire  to  join  in  the  owner- 
ship of  this  outstanding  piece  of  real 
property  in  San  Francisco. 

Evidently  Easterners  recognize 
the  fact  that  property  in  the  heart 
of  the  San  Francisco  financial  dis- 
trict is  pretty  certain  to  grow  in 


value,  and  that  it  is  a  good  invest- 
ment. San  Franciscans  can  hardly 
have  less  confidence  in  their  own 
city.  The  fact  that  the  Russ  Build- 
ing will  be  a  tremendous  benefit  to 
San  Francisco  has  not  been  urged 
by  the  underwriters  of  its  securities ; 
for  it  is  a  money-making  project. 
The  Russ  Building  is  conceived  and 
will  be  constructed  for  the  primary 


purpose  of  making  money  for  its 
stockholders. 

One  feature  of  the  new  Russ 
Building  that  will  add  greatly  to  its 
rentability  and  the  certainty  of  its 
earnings  is  the  garage  that  will  care 
for  400  tenants'  cars.  Parked  end 
to  end  on  both  sides  of  the  street 
the  motor  cars  that  will  be  housed 
within  this  building 
wouldrcachforeleven 
city  blocks  on  both 
sides  of  the  street. 

How  the  Russ 
Building  will  domi- 
nate the  skyline  may 
be  appreciated  from 
the  fact  that  the 
windows  in  the 
upper  stories  of  the 
tower  will  give  a 
glimpse  of  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  There  will  be 
eight  acres  of  rent- 
able floor  space,  ex- 
clusive of  the  ground 
floor  and  garage,  the 
occupancy  of  which 
will  add  greatly  to 
the  rental  value  of 
the  ground-floor 
stores.  And,  great 
as  it  will  be.  San 
Francisco  needs  the 
new  Russ  Building. 

Never  in  the  his- 
tory of  San  Francisco 
has  the  skyline  taken 
on  so  many  rapid 
transformations  as 
during  the  last  year. 
The  completion  of 
the  Telephone  Build- 
ing, the  Huntington 
Apartments  and  a 
half  dozen  relatively 
important  structures 
has  given  a  new  im- 
petus to  building  ac- 
tivities that  promises 
to  establish  a  new 
record  during  the 
current  year. 

Mammoth  hotelf, 
apartment  houses,  theatres  and 
office  buildings  are  being  planned, 
and  several  are  alreadj-  under  con- 
struction. Landmarks  are  fast  dis- 
appearing such  as  the  historic  struc- 
ture at  California  and  Montgomery, 
and  being  replaced  by  the  finest 
buildings  in  the  West. 

San  Francisco  is  forging  ahead, 
industrially  and  financially.

them  to  perfection  as  to  size,  form, 
color  and  long-keeping  qualities. 
Some  varieties  keep  fresh  as  long  as 
six  weeks  after  cutting. 

From  this  small  beginning  in  1915, 
the  chrysanthemum  cut-flower  busi- 
ness has  grown  until  in  October  of 
1925  the  express  company  trans- 
ported eighty-two  full  refrigerator 
cars,  each  holding  12,500  large 
chrysanthemums — more  than  a  mil- 
lion blooms.  These  flowers  carried 
San  Francisco's  message  of  beauty 
to  cities  on  the  Atlantic  from  Maine 
to  Florida,  in  the  north  to  Canada, 
and  south  into  Mexico. 

November  1st,  All  Saints  Day,  is 
observed  in  New  Orleans  as  a  local 
Memorial  Day,  and  last  October  ten 
carloads  of  chrysanthemums,  the 
equivalent  of  a  standard  passenger 
train,  left  San  Francisco  for  the 
Crescent  City,  and  were  there  re- 
tailed at  $1.50  a  stem. 

These  chrysanthemums  are  all 
grown  within  trucking  distance  of 
San  Francisco  by  Japanese  who 
know  how  to  grow  them  to  perfec- 
tion. They  are  packed  dry  in  boxes 
and  taken  to  Oakland  pier  where 
thej-  are  loaded  into  refrigerator 
express  cars. 

Three  years  ago  the  business  had 
outgrown  the  space  available  in  St. 
Anne  street,  and  larger  quarters 
were  secured  on  Fifth  and  Howard 
streets.  The  market  is  in  fact  three 
distinct  markets,  one  for  the  white 
growers,  another  for  the  Japanese, 
and  the  third  for  the  Chinese.  The 
floor  space  is  divided  into  booths 
where  the  individual  growers  display 
their  stocks.  About  250  growers 
comprise  the  market,  and  consider- 
ing the  money  value  of  the  turnover 
the  acreage  planted  is  surprisingly 
small.  It  has  been  estimated  that  at 
this  time  100  acres  are  planted  to 
the  large-flowered  chrysanthemums, 
and  a  similar  acreage  to  both  the 
small  oi-  button  varieties  and  the 
large  Chinese  asters.  Fifty  acres 
are  planted  to  straw-flowers,  and 
probably  not  more  than  that  to 
roses.  Within  half  an  hour's  ride 
from  the  market  there  is  one  range 
of  greenhouses  planted  to  100,000 
rose  bushes.  Rose  culture  permits 
of  such  close  planting  that  the  esti- 
mated .50  acres  gives  no  idea  of  its 
important  place  in  the  industry. 

The  movement  of  chrysanthe- 
mums east  was  so  successful  that  it 
was  not  long  before  experiments 
were  made  with  other  varieties  of 
flowers.    An  experimental  consign-

CURRENT  EVENTS  OF  INTEREST  IN  WASHINGTON 

I  coDtinued  from  pace  6  ] 


went  glimmering  when  the  H<^use 
and  Senate  conferees  adopted  an 
amendment  to  the  Revenue  Bill  pro- 
viding that  refunds  shall  not  be 
given  taxpayers  who  "elect"  to 
pay  on  the  non-community  property 
basis.  Assistant  Secretary  Winston 
cleverly  kept  this  item  out  of  the  bill 
until  it  had  gone  to  conference,  mak- 
ing it  virtually  impossible  for  the 
California  members  to  obtain  its 
elimination  without  endangering  the 
whole  Revenue  Bill. 


JUDGE  A.  E.  GRAUPNER  of  San 
"  Francisco,  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Tax  Appeals,  came  to  the  rescue 
of  traveling  salesmen  when  he  held 
that  money  spent  in  entertaining 
customers  is  a  legitimate  charge-off 
as  expenses  in  fiUng  income  tax  re- 
turns.

ment  of  violets  was  made  to  an  ex- 
press agent  in  Maine.  The  agent 
took  the  box  to  the  town's  florist  and 
asked  him  to  try  them  out.  The 
florist  was  waiting  on  a  customer 
and  had  the  agent  put  them  in  the 
refrigerator  room,  which  is  the 
largest  part  of  an  Eastern  florist's 
establishment.  A  week  later  the 
agent  returned  to  learn  what  success 
the  florist  had  had  with  the  violets. 
The  incident  had  been  forgotten  and 
the  unopened  box  was  still  in  the 
refrigerator.  It  was  opened,  and  the 
violets  were  found  to  be  in  splendid 
condition.  Today  San  Francisco 
violets  find  a  ready  market  through 
the  entire  East.  Their  season  is  from 
November  to  March.  Each  bunch  is 
wrapped  tightly  in  waxed  paper  and 
packed  closely  into  a  wooden  box 
into  the  top  of  which  is  put  a  few 
pounds  of  cracked  ice;  the  lid  is  then 
nailed  on. 

A  year  or  so  ago  acacia  was  tried, 
and  today  the  East  will  take  all  that 
San  Francisco  can  send.  The  light 
feathery  beauty  of  the  yellow  plumes 
are  a  welcome  relief  in  the  ice-bound 
East,  where  in  February  there  is 
little  or  nothing  in  the  way  of  locally 
grown  flowers  or  foliage. 

Heather,  too,  has  become  a  stand- 
ard cut  flower  for  shipment  through- 
out the  country.  A  few  miles  down 
the  peninsula  there  is  an  80-acre 
tract  planted  entirely  to  heather  for 
cutting.  Other  growers  of  heather 
send  small  plants  east  for  the  Easter 
trade. 

Roses  cannot  be  shipped  as  far  as 
New  York,  but  find  a  ready  market 
in  Oregon,  Washington,  Canada, 
Illinois,  and  to  the  south  as  far  as 
San  Diego,  and  Pasadena  at  New 
Year's  draws  heavily  on  San  Fran- 
cisco's supply  of  roses  for  her  Rose 
Carnival.  This  is  a  secret  known 
only  to  a  few,  but  the  truth  will  out, 
and  Pasadena  is  not  the  only  culprit 
guilty  of  wearing  borrowed  finery. 
Most  of  the  better  flowers  and  all  of 
the  maidenhair  fern  sold  by  South- 
ern California  florists  are  grown  in 
the  San  Francisco  territory. 

San  Francisco-grown  maidenhair 
fern  is  in  demand  all  over  the  coun- 
try; other  greens  that  leave  San 
Francisco  by  the  carloads  are  the 
Woodwardia  fern  from  Santa  Cruz 
and  Marin  counties,  the  Redwood 
burl,  Oregon  grape,  the  so-called 
wild  lemon,  Mexican  ivy,  and 
huckleberry. 

One  grower  of  straw-flowers  reaps 
three  crops  a  year  from  his  42-acre 
garden,  and  he  cannot  supply  the 


demand.  He  has  a  big  advantage 
over  his  eastern  competitors  as  he 
gathers  three  crops  a  year  to  their 
one  and  his  flowers  cure  to  a  more 
intense  color  than  those  grown  else- 
where. 

The  last  holiday  season  served  to 
introduce  our  California  Toyon  or 
red  Christmas  berry  to  the  East. 
An  early  and  very  severe  winter 
made  it  impossible  to  harvest  the 
Michigan  and  Delaware  holly  crops 
and  many  carloads  of  our  berries 
were  used  to  furnish  the  necessary 
red  in  the  eastern  Christmas  deco- 
rations. 


The  early  spring  flowers,  anemo- 
nes, ranunculi,  and  daffodils  ship 
well,  and  are  in  great  demand  as  far 
east  as  St.  Louis. 

San  Francisco-grown  gardenias 
seem  superior  to  those  grown  else- 
where, and  recently  created  a  sensa- 
tion at  a  flower  show  at  Hartford, 
Connecticut,  where  they  were  easily 
prize-winners.  Roses,  too,  grown 
in  San  Francisco  have  received 
prizes  in  shows  in  Kansas  City. 

In  this  aiticle  mention  only  will 
be  made  of  the  large  and  thriving 
nursery,  seed,  bulb,  and  tuber  busi-

Constructive 
Auditing 

An  independent  audit  is  to  be  regarded  always 
as  the  means  to  valuable  advice  from  the  audi- 
tor or  auditing  firm. 

Too  often,  auditing  service  ends  with  the  report 
of  the  financial  condition  of  (name)  as  of  (date). 
Auditors  should  be  equipped— and  should  be 
employed— to  offer  recommendations  in  con- 
nection with  method,  policies,  financing,  etc.; 
to  furnish  comparative  statistics  intelligently 
prepared;  to  point  out  how  mistakes  and  waste 
may  be  eliminated,  and  pitfalls  avoided. 
Of  course,  every  audit  should  be  a  Detailed 
Audit.  But  whether  it  be  Detailed,  Semi- 
Detailed  or  Balance  Sheet, itcan,  and  should 
be  made  to,  serve  as  the  basis  not  only  of  the 
financial  report,  but  also  of  constructive  help. 
With  the  business  man's  appreciative  under- 
standing of  this  help,  and  the  cooperation  of 
progressive  Public  Accountants,  Auditing  be- 
comes Constructive  and  offers  its  greatest 
value.

The  Government 
In  Business 

By  HENRY  SWIFT  IVES 


(From  an  oidrtts  dtUirrtd  at  o  joint  meeting 

of  tkt  Son  Franeiaco  Commercial  Club  and  the 

Son  Francisco  Chamber  o/  Commerce.} 


ijRESroENT  COOLroCE 
has  furnished  the  best 
text  I  know  anything 
about  for  a  discussion  of 
the  subject  which  has 
been  assigned  to  me.  In  one  of  his 
recent  addresses  the  President  said: 
"When  the  Government  enters  the 
field  of  business,  with  its  great  re- 
sources, there  has  Ijeen  a  tendency 
to  extravagance  and  ineflBciency, 
but  having  the  power  to  crush  all 
competitors  likewise  closes  the  door 
of  opportunitj'  and  results  in  monop- 
oly." That  is  an  e.xact  expression  of 
my  opinion  in  regard  to  government 
ownership,  and  it  is  a  much  briefer 
and  more  concise  statement  than  I 
could  ever  hope  to  make. 

I  am  not  one  of  those  people  who 
Ijelieve  that  this  country  is  going  to 
the  dogs.  I  think  America  is  sound 
at  heart  and  at  core.  I  am  quite 
sure,  however,  that  there  are  some 
di.sturbing  tendencies  mingled  with 
our  methods  of  conducting  our  polit- 
ical institutions  that  must  be  taken 
into  consideration  by  all  business 
men,  and  by  the  people  generally,  if 
this  country  is  to  remain  sound. 
These  tendencies  are  dangerous 
chiefly  because  thej-  are  likely  to 
lead  to  a  condition  of  dn,--rot  at  the 
center  or  heart  of  our  institutions. 

We  are  hving  in  the  midst  of  an 
age  of  miracles.  We  are  at  times  dis- 
turbed, and  even  badly  frightened, 
by  the  sudden  changes  in  conditions. 
Every  day  new  situations  confront 
us  of  which  we  had  no  conception 
the  day  before.  These  things  are  af- 
fecting our  whole  method  of  li^Tiig, 
our  economic  systems,  and  our 
political  de\'ices.  Because  of  the 
somewhat  chaotic  environment  in 
which  our  existence  is  ordered,  there 
has  been  considerable  uncertaintj' 
in  regard  to  the  settlement  of  many 
of  the  great  problems  of  the  modern 
world.  I  think,  however,  that  the 
pains  which  the  body-politic  seems 
to  be  suffering  from  are,  in  reahty, 
the  growing  pains  of  democracy,  and 
not  the  dying  pains  of  democracy. 
One  of  the  greatest  troubles  con- 
fronting us,  in  trj'ing  to  ascertain 
what  is  good  for  the  soul  and  the 
phj'sical  well-being  of  the  body- 
politic,  is  the  general  misconception

I  continued  from  precediDg  page  1 

of  the  two  words  which  are  used  as 
labels  for  our  conflicting  political 
tendencies,  viz. :  Liberal  and  Re- 
actionary. ^Ye  are  today  applying 
the  term  "liberal"  to  all  of  those  who 
believe  in  the  extension  of  power  of 
the  State  over  business  and  over 
human  conduct,  and  we  are  apply- 
ing the  term  "reactionary"  to  those 
who  are  opposing  this  extension  of 
governmental  authority.  In  doing 
this  we  are  using  false  labels.  The 
modern  Liberal  is  in  fact  a  direct 
descendant  of  the  Reactionary  of  a 
century  ago,  who  believed  in  State 
Feudalism,  while  the  modern  Re- 
actionary is  really  a  descendant  of 
the  Liberal  of  a  century  ago,  who 
believed  in  the  greatest  possible  in- 
dividual freedom. 

Tliis  modern  and  so-called  liberal 
tendency  towards  the  superstate 
has  led  to  the  burdening  of  democ- 
racy with  all  sorts  of  strange  and 
inconsistent  laws,  rules  and  regula- 
tions. Our  system  of  government  was 
not  created  to  meet  economic  situa- 
tions, and  I  do  not  think  it  is  fitted 
for  that  kind  of  work.  If  the  Govern- 
ment is  to  go  into  business,  the  only 
consistent  procedure  is  for  us  to  dis- 
card democracy  and  to  use  the 
Socialistic  system  in  carrying  on 
such  endeavors. 

I  am  quite  convinced  that  there 
can  be  no  half-way  measures  in  the 
burdening  of  democracy.  I  do  not 
believe  that  this  country  can  exist 
half  socialistic  and  half  free,  any 
more  than  it  could  have  existed  half 
slave  and  half  free.  There  can  be  no 
dividing  line.  We  must  either  be  all 
free  or  all  socialist,  if  we  expect  to 
maintain  a  satisfactory  government. 
The  worst  situation  that  con- 
fronts us  today  is  the  tendency  to- 
ward too  much  government.  We  are 
living  in  the  midst  of  a  plague  of 
laws.  We  are  trying  to  keep  our 
law  factories  abreast  of  the  wonder- 
ful economic  and  social  progress  of 
the  age.  In  trj'ing  to  make  our  laws 
keep  up  with  this  social  and  economic 
progress,  we  forget  entirely  that  this 
progress  has  been  due  chiefly  to  the 
fact  that  our  law-making  machinery 
has  not  had  time  as  yet  to  catch  up 
with  it.  It  is  this  failure  to  regulate 
progress  completely  that  has  made 
progress  possible.  Quantitative 
government  is  the  besetting  sin  of 
this  generation.  The  old  qualitative 
theory,  which  held  that  the  govern- 
ment which  governed  least  governed 
best,  is  rapidly  being  scrapped,  and 
we  are  substituting  for  it  the  theory 
that  to  be  governed  is  the  chief  end 
of  man. 

This  is  the  Jazz  Age  of  law.  There 
are  in  existence  in  America  today 


appro.ximately  2,100,000  laws  and 
ordinances  of  all  kinds  and  descrip- 
tions, for  the  purpose  of  regulating 
our  goings  and  our  comings,  what 
we  do,  how  we  do  it,  and  our  cus- 
toms and  our  privileges.  There  are 
100,000  people  in  America  engaged 
in  the  business  of  making  laws.  They 
are  the  hands  in  our  law  factories. 


As  a  result  of  this  orgy  of  law- 
making— this  great  desire  for  the 
regulation  of  our  fellow  human 
beings — a  great  many  of  the  ancient 
rights  and  traditions  of  the  Ameri- 
can people  are  being  sacrificed,  and 
it  is  also  true,  as  you  probably  all 
know,  that  a  large  majority  of  these

regulatory  schemes  are  the  products 
of  distorted  imaginations  and  va- 
grant yearnings. 

People  who  desire  legislation  in 
their  on-n  behalf  are  inclined  to  rush 
to  the  legislative  halls  and  secure 
the  introduction  of  a  bill  to  cure  a 
pretended  evil  or  to  meet  a  particu- 
lar need.  A  few  of  these  are  good,

their  own  affairs  that  they  often  pay 
little  attention  to  these  movements. 
They  would  pay  more  attention  to 
them,  however,  if  they  realized  that 
exces-sive  law-making  always  leads 
to  excessive  ta.xation.  The  tax 
burden  has  increa.sed  enomiou.sh'  in 
.\merica  during  the  la.st  few  vears. 
In  1913  the  total  tax  for  all  Federal, 
state  and  local  purposes  was  $2,- 
919.000.000  In  1924  the  total  tax 
collected  in  this  countrv  for  all  pur- 
poses wa-s  $10,250,000,000.  The 
war,  naturally,  had  something  to  do 
with  this  rapid  inerea.se,  but  during 
the  la.«t  few  years  the  expenditures  of 
the  Federal  Government  have  de- 
crea-sed  considerably,  while  state 
expenditures  Ix'tween  1923  and  1924 
increased  7.6  per  cent.  We  are 
spending  in  .\merica  today  fifteen 
cents  out  of  everj-  dollar  of  the  an- 
nual national  income  for  taxes.  The 
national  income,  according  to  the 
latest  estimates  I  have  been  able  to 
secure,  is  about  $68,000,000,000. 
Most  of  the  increa.se  in  the  tax  bur- 
den, and  practically  all  of  the  future 
proposed  increases,  are  due  to  the 
extension  of  the  powers  of  state  or 
municipal  governments  in  various 
fields.  We  have  been  paying  a  heavy 
bill  for  the  privilege  of  being  ruled, 
and  we  are  p.aying  a  still  heavier  bill 
for  exercising  the  desire  of  the  aver- 
age American  to  tell  his  fellow 
human  beings  how  to  V)ehave  and 
how  to  earn,-  on  their  business. 

The  tendency  toward  government 
ownership  has  been  verj-  marked  in 
the  last  ten  years,  and  while  it  has 
not  made  any  surprising  headway, 
there  is  still  considerable  agitation 
in  all  parts  of  the  country  along  that 
line,  and,  in  my  opinion,  it  is  the 
most  dangerous  of  all  the  socialistic 
tendencies,  because  it  is  so  exten- 
sive. There  are  and  have  been,  as 
you  know,  surprisingly  extensive 
demands  for  either  Federal,  state  or 
municipal  ownership  of  railroads, 
public  utilities,  coal  mines,  oil  wells, 
meat  packing  and  shipping,  food 
handling  and  distribution,  cement 
manufacturing,  and  the  operation  of 
mills  and  warehouses.  Most  of  these 
demands  concern  business  enter- 
prises said  to  be  affected   with   a 


public  interest.  It  is  hardly  neces- 
sary to  say  that  none  of  the.se  ex- 
periments when  tried  have  been  suc- 
cessful financially.  The  Govern- 
ment has  never  created  anj-thing 
that  it  has  not  taken  from  private 
enterprise.  Every  time  the  Govern- 
ment enters  into  any  sort  of  a  busi- 
ness operation  it  robs  private  enter- 
prise of  what  it  previously  has  de- 
veloped and  makes  a  government 
operation  out  of  it.  It  is  essentially 
a  .selfish  operation,  too,  because  it  is 
simply  taking  what  the  people,  in 
their  private  capacities,  have  built 
up,  and  turning  it  into  a  great 
bureaucratic  machine. 

Do  you  renieml)cr  reading  in  the 
second  part  of  Shakespeare's  "Henry 
the  Sixth"  of  that  ver>-  delightful, 
but  altogether  irresponsible,  rascal, 
Jack  Cade?  Jack  started  a  revolu- 
tion of  his  own  along  about  the  same 
lines  as  some  of  our  modern  Radicals 
are  proposing,  and  he  caused  the 
king  a  lot  of  trouble.  In  my  opinion, 
Jack  bears  a  very  close  resemblance 
to  some  of  our  modem  demagogues. 
In  one  of  his  discussions  of  what  he 
proposed  to  do  when  he  seized  the 
power  of  government.  Jack  said, 
"My  mouth  shall  be  the  Parliament 
of  England."  There  are  a  great 
many  people  in  this  country  today 
who  have  the  same  opinion  of  their 
power  as  Jack  Cade  had  back  in  the 
time  of  Henry  the  Sixth. 

One  of  the  greatest  difficulties  en- 
countered in  opposing  the  govern- 
ment ownership  movement  is  the 
fact  that  a  great  many  of  our  .so-

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  MARCH  10,  1926 


called  hard-headed  and  responsible 
business  men  arc  supporting  various 
government-ownership  schemes 
and  in  this  connection  permit  me  to 
say  that  I  know  of  no  business  man 
who  is  supporting  the  government 
ownership  of  the  industry  in  which 
he  personally  is  engaged  or  in  which 
he  has  money  invested,  but  these 
same  business  men  are  very  much 
inclined  to  support  the  government 
ownership  of  everybody's  else  busi- 
ness, and  the  country  is  full  of  that 
kind  of  citizens.  You  have  them 
here  in  San  Francisco,  you  will  find 
them  in  New  York,  and  you  will  find 
them  in  Chicago.  No  community  is 
free  from  them. 

I  know  there  are  a  great  many  of 
my  insurance  friends  here,  but  let 
me  ask  all  of  you — did  you  ever  hear 
of  one  of  these  insurance  men  sup- 
porting government  ownership,  or 
partial  government  ownership,  of 
the  insurance  business?  You  did 
not,  but  I  know  of  insurance  men 
who  have  supported  the  govern- 
ment ownership  of  the  other  fellow's 
business,  and  I  can  say  the  same  of 
men  engaged  in  nearly  every  other 
line  of  endeavor.  I  know  of  an  opera- 
ator  of  a  steel  mill  back  East  who 
has  been  much  interested  in  having 
the  Federal  Government  take  over 
the  coal  mines  so  that  he  may  be 
assured  of  his  steady  supply  without 
the  difficulties  he  has  been  having. 
I  know  a  man  in  the  harvester  busi- 
ness who  has  been  much  interested 
in  the  price-fixing  schemes  in  behalf 
of  the  farmers  and  in  the  taking  over 
by  the  Federal  Government  of  the 
distribution  and  handling  of  grain, 
but  that  same  man  has  been  in  years 
past  a  bitter  opponent  of  the  making 
of  threshing  machines  in  the  State 
Penitentiary  at  Stillwater,  Minne- 
sota. There  are  many  other  illustra- 
tions of  this  same  kind,  and  I  want 
to  emphasize  the  fact  that  if  it  were 
not  for  the  support  of  the  solid  and 
substantial  business  man,  the  gov- 
ernment ownership  movement  in 
this  country  would  not  be  much 
more  than  a  theory.  You  who  are 
advocating  the  government  owner- 
ship of  the  other  fellow's  business 
must  be  prepared  in  the  due  course 
of  time  to  have  your  own  business 
confiscated.  When  you  learn  that, 
you  will  be  more  consistent. 

Concerning  the  orgy  of  law-mak- 
ing of  which  I  have  previously 
spoken,  I  would  like  to  add  that 
much  of  the  demand  for  more  legis- 
lation and  more  regulation  comes 
from  the  business  men  of  the  coun- 
try. They  are  always  about  the 
legislatures  asking  for  some  law  or 
some  new  rule,  either  to  help  them- 
selves or  to  regulate  somebody  else. 


There  has  been  altogether  too  much 
of  this  from  these  business  interests, 
and  I  think  it  is  about  time  that  a 
halt  be  called.  I  am  sure  that  more 
laws  are  due  to  the  activities  of  busi- 
ness organizations,  trade  associa- 
tions and  the  like,  than  to  the  many 
agitations  carried  on  by  the  socialists 
and  the  so-called  radicals. 

In  every  discussion  of  this  kind  I 
try  to  impress  upon  my  hearers  this 
axiom:  that  no  single  industry  or 
business  can  be  lifted  out  of  the 
common  mass  of  privately  conducted 
enterprises,  endowed  with  the  at- 
tributes of  sovereignty,  subsidized 
by  taxation  and  operated  by  a  politi- 
cal bureaucracy,  without  eveiy  other 
business  and  enterprise  feeling  the 
painful  and  depressing  effects  of  such 
a  procedure. 

In  all  of  our  talk  about  govern- 
ment invasion  of  the  business  field, 
I  think  we  have  ignored  one  of  the 
fundamentals.  The  main  issue  to- 
day really  is  not  whether  the  Gov- 
ernment shall  own  the  railroads,  the 
utilities  or  the  insurance  business, 
and  the  like,  but  whether  the  institu- 
tion of  private  property  is  to  be  pre- 
served. To  me  it  does  not  make  any 
difference  whether  the  Government 
can  operate  any  business  more  eco- 
nomically than  can  private  enter- 
prise. That  is  not  the  question  at 
issue.  The  question  is:  is  it  in  ac- 
cordance with  our  democratic  in- 
stitutions that  such  a  procedure  be 
permitted?  I  think  you  will  agree 
with  me  that  there  is  no  justification 
in  a  democracy  for  excessive  state 
interference  in  the  private  affairs  of 
the  individual,  even  though  the 
state  might  possibly  be  able  to  do 
the  work  cheaper — which  it  never 
has  done.  I  think  aU  of  us  would  be 
opposed  to  living  in  community 
barracks,  even  though  it  could  be 
demonstrated  that  the  cost  would 
be  50  per  cent  less  than  our  present 
method  of  living.  Such  a  saving  docs 
not  justify  the  destruction  of  the 
home,  and  no  saving  that  the  Gov- 
ernment might  make  in  business 
justifies  the  destruction  of  democ- 
racy. 

As  you  know,  I  represent  the 
stock  insurance  busiiiess.  I  will  not 
bore  you  by  telling  you  about  our 
troubles  as  far  as  government  own- 
ership is  concerned,  but  we  have 
them — and  plenty  of  them.  I  do  not 
think  the  average  man  understands 
what  a  great  institution  insurance  is. 
I  do  not  believe  he  understands  that 
insurance  is  the  guardian  of  modern 
progress.  Indeed,  if  it  were  not  for 
the  protection  that  insurance  af- 
fords, modern  commerce  could  not 
be  carried  on  in  its  present  way.  In- 
surance also  is  the  foundation  of

Thirty-one  freight  cars  standing 
end  to  end  would  be  only  slightly 
longer  than  this  new  South  San 
Francisco  plant. 

"I  believe  you  only  need  to  look 
at  this  building,"  said  R.  D.  Plage- 
man,  sales  manager  for  the  Western 
Pipe  and  Steel  Co.,  with  head- 
quarters at  444  Market  street,  "to 
know  what  we  think  of  San  Fran- 
cisco and  the  peninsula  as  a  manu- 
facturing and  distributing  center, 
and  yet  this  deep-water  side  of  the 
bay  is  only  a  beginning  to  what  it  is 
going  to  be.  With  natural  deep 
water  hugging  the  west  shore  and 
with  acres  upon  acres  of  waterfront 
land  upon  which  to  build  industries, 
the  peninsula  has  untold  po.ssibili- 
ties  for  industrial  and  residential 
growth. 

"And  perhaps  you  would  be  inter- 
ested in  where  some  of  the  product 
that  is  to  be  made  in  this  new  plant 
is  to  go. 

"It  is  going  to  the  Fairbanks  Ex- 
ploration Co.,  there  to  bring  water 
from  the  melting  glaciers  in  summer 
and  wash  out  gold  on  the  company's 
properties.  This  placer  mining  can 
be  carried  on  only  in  the  summer, 
but  curiously  enough  since  the  pipe 
has  to  be  taken  to  the  development 
section  over  Alaskan  tundra,  or 
mossy  marsh  land,  which  can  be 
traversed  only  when  it  is  frozen,  the 
shipment  must  be  conveyed  to  the 
property  in  the  winter." 

This  San  Francisco  product,  ac- 
cording to  Mr.  Plageman,  can  be 
sold  and  shipped  successfully  from 
San  Francisco  to  the  eleven  western 
states  because  of  its  comparatively 
light  weight.

ness.  That  business  is  of  enough  im- 
portance to  merit  a  separate  article. 

The  San  Francisco  district  has 
become  world-famous  for  the  fine 
dahlias  created  by  our  local  hybridi- 
zers, many  of  them  with  gardens  no 
larger  than  a  vacant  city  lot.  The 
dahlia  has  not  appealed  very  much 
to  the  florist  as  it  has  been  considered 
.a  poor  keeper.  This  reputation,  how- 
ever, is  unwarranted  and  as  the 
proper  way  of  cutting  and  curing 
the  blooms  is  better  known,  it  will 
undoubtedly  be  in  great  demand, 
for  it  is  the  most  colorful  and  gor- 
geous of  all  our  fall  flowers. 

That  it  is  a  good  cut  flower  the 
writer  proved  conclusively  when,  in 
September,  1924,  he  put  a  bo.x  of 
dahlias  to  the  severe  endurance  test 
of  the  trip  by  air  mail  to  New  York, 
where  they  were  exhibited  at  the 
American  Dahlia  Society's  show  and 
also  at  the  Short  Hills  Show  in  New 
Jersey,  after  a  34-hour  trip  in  the 
cockpits  of  fourteen  air-planes. 
Fully  half  an  hour  of  this  time  the 
flowers  were  subjected  to  stiff  jolts 
as  the  planes  rose  from  and  returned 
to  the  ground.  Thej'  were  shipped 
dry  in  much  the  same  way  as  chry.s- 
anthemums  are  expressed,  and  eight 
days  later,  after  the  .34-hour  trip  and 
four  days  in  the  .stuffy  atmosphere  of 
e.xhibition  rooms,  one  was  still  pre- 
sentable. 

The  climate  of  the  bay  counties  is 
unsurpassed  for  the  growing  of  fine 
flowers,  and  there  are  hidden  in  the 
back  yards  of  thousands  of  San 
Franciscans  gardens  that  are  a  riot 
of  color  the  greater  part  of  the  year. 
These  gardens,  like  the  flower  mar- 
ket, are  seldom  .seen  by  visitors.  It 
is  regretted  that  this  has  to  be,  be- 
cause this  April  the  Garden  Club  of 
America,  composed  of  more  than 
seventy  Garden  Clubs  throughout 
the  countiy,  is  to  hold  its  annual 
meeting  in  Santa  Barbara.  Most  if 
not  all  of  these  visitors  to  California 
will  spend  a  few  days  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. They  will  not  be  shown  our 
secret  gardens  as  few  know  of  their 
existence,  and  San  Francisco,  which 
furnishes  the  whole  United  States 
with  most  of  its  cut  flowers,  has  no 
Garden  Club  to  act  as  host  to  the 
visitors.  This  is  a  condition  which 
should  be  remedied.  Every  city  of 
any  size  in  America  has  a  Garden 
Club  which  fills  a  well-defined  place 
in  the  civic  life  of  the  community.

SAX  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  MARCH  10,  1926 


(  continued  from  page  5  ] 

mentioned  were  typical  subjects  of 
broad  interest. 

The  work  of  the  recent  convention 
was  not  directed  toward  codifying  a 
large  list  of  formal  resolutions.  Only 
two  resolutions  were  passed,  one 
favoring  foreign  trade  zones,  the 
other  favoring  better  and  cheaper 
trans-Pacifie  cable  and  radio  com- 
munication in  order  to  foster  better 
international  understanding  by  more 
news  interchange  and  increased 
trade. 

It  is  true  that  the  United  States  is 
one  of  the  two  countries  of  the  world 
best  adapted  by  abundance  and 
variety  of  natural  resources  to  fol- 
low a  policy  of  strict  natural  seclu- 
sion. China  is  the  other  country 
similarly  situated,  and  China  did  in 
fact  adhere  to  a  seclusionistic  policy 
untU  very  recently  and  with  pro- 
gressive ingrowing  weaknesses.  The 
average  American,  since  the  post-war 
depression  at  any  rate,  is  convinced 
of  the  desirability  of  e.xport,  and 
views  foreign  trade  in  terms  solely 
of  export  trade.  It  is  a  problem  of 
simple  arithmetic  to  demonstrate 
that  truism  that  you  cannot  export 
unless  you  import. 

Many  otherwise  intelligent  citi- 
zens do,  however,  strenuously  object 
to  any  imports  of  commodities  which 
are  or  can  be  manufactured  in  this 
country,  despite  the  lower  price  of 
the  foreign  goods,  "so  long  as  there 
is  a  single  American  workman  look- 
ing for  a  job." 

The  purpose  to  insure  employ- 
ment of  American  workmen  is  highly 
laudable.  The  only  mistake  is  that 
the  home  industry  enthusiast  is  apt 
to  defeat  his  own  ends.  It  must  not 
be  forgotten  that  agricultural  prod- 
ucts are  the  basis  of  Pacific  Coast 
prosperity  and  that  further  expan- 
sion of  producing  areas  depends 
largely  on  increased  export.  Roughly 
25  per  cent  of  specialized  agricultural 
production  is  already  exported. 
Any  action  calculated  to  discourage 
use  of  materials  produced  abroad, 
to  discredit  foreign  manufactured 
commodities  or  to  bring  pressure  to 
bear  to  prevent  their  consumption  is 
a  direct  invitation  for  retaliation  by 
foreign  countries.  The  loss  of  our 
foreign  markets  would  throw  many 
more  men  out  of  employment  than 
could  find  jobs  by  producing  articles 
that  may  be  logically  imported. 
Import  also  gives  a  two-way  cargo 
which  is  necessary  for  profitable 
ship  operation.  Ships  in  ballast  can- 
not support  an  American  merchant 
marine.  These  and  many  other 
points  dealing  with  the  economics 
and  politics  of  foreign  trade  were 
brought    out    by    the    convention 


The  purpose  of  the  Pacific  Foreign 
Trade  Council  in  its  program  of 
"Pacific  Coast  Unity  for  World 
Trade  Expansion"  may  be  briefly 
summarized  as  follows: 

To  solidify  Pacific  Coast  senti- 
ment so  that  there  will  be  a  concord 
of  thought  and  action. 

To  stimulate  commerce  by  every 
possible  means,  and  extend  the  for- 
eign market  for  Pacific  Coast  prod- 
ucts. 

To  bring  about  a  greater  under- 
standing between  peoples  living  in 
countries  bordering  on  the  Pacific. 

To  inform  citizens  living  inland 


from  the  Coast  cities  that  foreign 
trade  is  not  a  matter  of  concern  only 
to  Coast  cities,  but  that  foreign 
markets  are  necessary  to  absorb  the 
country's  surplus  if  our  agricultural 
and  industrial  life  is  to  prosper;  and 
that  we  cannot  export  unless  we 
import. 

To  fuse  together  farmers,  manu- 
facturers, business  men,  bankers, 
transportation  interests  and  other 
groups  which  must  be  correlated  to 
extend  this  foreign  trade. 

To  make  of  the  council  an  organi- 
zation truly  representative  and 
worthy  of  lasting  endurance. 


It  takes  in  ALL  three 

The  three  manifests  of  service  in  gasoline  are:  (l)  satisfactory  quiclc 

starting  according  to  seasonal  demands,  (2)  full  stride  of  power,  (3) 

mileage. 

Juggle  these  three  essentials  around  as  you  wish;  put  them  in  any  order 

you  want,  to  secure  what  999  out  of  1000  motorists  really  want  in  gasoline 

results,  you  must  get  all  three  in  perfect  coordination. 

Associated  Gasoline,  through  its  distinctive  range  of  boiling  points,  gives 

the  three  service  essentials  in  ideal  degree.  Associated  Gasoline  is  always 

associated  with  "more-miles-to-the-gallon."

credit.  Before  insurance  Ijecaine  the 
basis  of  credit,  however,  it  will  be 
rememliered  that  credit  was  only 
extended  in  any  considerableamounts 
by  the  pledging  of  a  definite  security 
of  some  kind  or  other.  That  was  the 
pawn-shop  stage  of  credit.  Insur- 
ance now  has  taken  credit  out  of  this 
pawn-shop  stage  of  its  existence  and 
has  made  a  great  department  store 
of  it,  where  all  the  world  may 
shop. 

The  insurance  business  has  suf- 
fered a  considerable  invasion  by  the 
Ciovernment.  Sixteen  states  are 
operating  workmen's  compensa- 
tion funds,  and  in  seven  of  these 
states  private  companies  are  pro 
hil)ited  from  competing.  In  nine 
states  where  competition  is  per- 
mitted, private  companies — despite 
the  fact  that  they  charge  more — 
write  8.5  per  cent  of  the  business  and 
the  state-owned  funds  write  1.5  per 
cent  o!  the  business.  That  ought  tii 
be  ample  indication  that  the  average 
business  man  does  not  want  any- 
thing to  do  with  state  insurance. 
There  are  also  a  great  many  state 
insurance  funds  for  hail  insurance, 
fire  insurance  on  public  buildings, 
and  for  providing  surety  bonds  for 
state  officials  and  the  like.  The 
people  back  of  these  movements  for 
state  insurance  do  not  seem  to  ap- 
preciate the  fact  that  the  invasion 
Ijy  the  state  into  the  insurance  busi- 
ness is  perhaps  the  most  dangerous 
type  of  government  ownership. 

If  you  will  consider  the  billions  of 
dollars  in  insurance  investments  to- 
day, j'ou  will  find  one  of  the  re;isons 
whj'  the  socialists  are  so  keen  upon 
taking  over  the  iasurance  business. 
They  know  that  if  they  can  confis- 
cate insurance  they  will  have  an  op- 
portunity to  get  control  of  all  the 
property  represented  by  these  enor- 
mous insurance  investments.  That 
is  one  of  the  out.standing  dangers 
which  the  ordinary  person  does  not 
realize  when  he  thinks  of  state  in- 
surance funds. 

I  have  tried  to  give  you  some  of 
the  outstanding  points  in  regard  to 
the  government  ownership  move- 
ment, as  far  as  my  observations  go, 
and  please  keep  in  mind  the  fact 
that  government  ownership  is  noth- 
ing more  than  a  substitution  of 
government  deficits  for  private 
profits.  It  is  taxation  for  confisca- 
tion; it  makes  politics  instead  of 
business  the  national  dividend  pro- 
ducer; it  represses  the  reproductive 
processes  of  capital  and  then  at- 
tempts to  revive  them  by  the  tax 
gland  operation.

Bobrick's  Liquid  Soaps

Bobrick's  Sop-O-zoN  contains  a  larfjc 
amount  of  true  soap  and  a  small  amount  of

A  little  Bobrick's  Sop-O-zoN  goes  a  lonj; 
way  because  it  contains  such  a  large  amoimt

THE  BAY  BRIDGE  SITUATION 


Proper  Considera-

Ruling  of  the  War 
Department 


r 


HI-: 


laiiciscd  ( 'haiii- 
I  of  (  '..III  iiierce  is 
(Illy  iiitcicstpd  in  the 
iistruction  of  a  bridge 
tween  San  Francisco 
anil  the  <  >akland  side  of  the  bay. 
Proper  coni-ideration  of  this  matter 
must  await  the  determination  of  the 
War  Department  as  to  the  location 
of  such  a  bridge.  It  is  at  once  appar- 
ent that  it  is  impossible  to  advocate 
any  particular  bridge  project  until 
tlic  \Var  1  )('partment  has  announced 
the  location  and  the  character  of  the 
bridge  it  will  permit. 

The  financing  and  operation  of  the 
various  projected  bridges  arc  of  the 
utmost  importance,  and  as  s<j(jn  as 
the  location  and  character  of  the 
bridges  are  determined  by  the  War 
Department  it  will  be  necessary  to 
determine  whether  they  are  tcj  be 
operated  privately  or  publicly,  and 
whether  the  promoters  of  various 
projects  are  able  to  finance  their 
enterprises  properly. 

This  statement  from  President

Charge  Storage 

for   Undelivered 

Merchandise 


~n^ 


X"llF>-iS  companies  are 
|ilaiiiiing  to  establish  a 
-\.-t(ni  of  chargesfor  the 
.storing  of  express  ship- 
iiii-iits  that  are  uncalled 
for  or  icfuseil  when  tendered  for  de- 
livery. This  is  the  announcement 
of  W.  C.  Kiefcr  of  the  .\merican 
Railway  Express  Company. 

A  docket  outlining  the  proposal 
has  been  issued  for  the  information 
of  the  public,  and  in  due  course  it 
will  be  filed  with  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission  as  an  addition  to 
the  IC.xpress  Classification  to  become 
iffective  on  or  about  May  1st. 

The  rules  and  charges  will  apply 
to  business  nf  this  character  which 
the  local  office  has  to  store  owing  to 
the  refusal  of  the  consignee  to  accept 
it  when  a  tender  of  delivery  is  made 
or  which  for  any  other  reason  not 
the  fault  f>f  the  express  company 
can  not  be  delivered.  Three  days 
"free  time"  will  be  allowed,  after 
which  the  storage  charge  will  be  10 
cents  for  the  first  day,  5  cents  for 
each  of  the  next  eight  days,  with  a 
maximum  of  50  cents  a  month  for 
each  shipment  weighing  100  pounds 
or  less.  There  will  be  a  regular 
monthly  charge  thereafter  of  50 
cents  per  month  or  fraction  thereof. 
On  shipments  weighing  more  than 
100  pounds  this  storage  charge  will 
be     assessed     proportionally,     any

fractional  part  of  1(X)  pimnds  to  ho 
computed  as  100  pounds.  ('.  c,  on 
shipments  weighing  more  than  100 
pounds  and  not  more  than  200 
pounds  the  storage  charge  will  be 
twice  that  shown  above  on  a  100- 
pound  shipment.  The  carrier  is  i-e- 
(|uired  to  give  proper  arrival  notice 
to  the  consignee,  such  notice  to  lx>ar 
the  same  address  as  appears  on  the 
shipment,  and  to  retain  in  its  files  a 
duplicate  copy  of  such  notice. 

In  the  course  of  business,  many 
controversies  arise,  during  which  a 
consignee  may  prefer  to  refuse  ship- 
ments sent  to  him.  The  carrier  has 
no  alternative  but  to  store  the  gootis 
and  cannot  relieve  it.«elf  of  the  ship- 
ment fir  of  all  responsibility  for  it 
until  the  parties  involved  adjust 
their  differences.  This  may  take 
several  months  in  which  the  carrier 
is  an  innocent  bystander  having  been 
in  no  wise  responsible  for  the  non- 
delivery. 

Assessment  of  storage  charges  on 
unclaimed  shipments  has  long  been 
a  practice  with  freight  and  baggage. 
The  contention  now  is  that  the  ex- 
pense and  extra  labor  involved 
should  be  borne,  not  by  express 
patrons  generally,  but  by  the  owners 
of  the  goods  so  stored.

The  Interstate  C'nninierco  Com-

1)V  a  vote  of  7  to  3.  denied  the  trans-

reductions  on  variou.s  commodities 
from  Chicago  territory  to  Pacific 
(.'oa^t  terminals  which  would  not 
apply  at  intermediate  points. 

The  application  of  the  carriers 
was  filed  for  the  purpose  of  allowing 
the  rail  lines  to  compete  with  the 
intercoastal  steamer  lines  on  west-

of  tho  Harvey  Spring 
and  ForRing  Company. 
Kacino,  Wisconsin,  hits 
iH'en  secured  for  San 
Francisco. 

"We  have  .selected  San  Francisco," 
said  T.  H.  \'an  Horn,  general  sales 
manager  at  Racine.  Wis.,  "for  our 
Western  distribution  of  Harvey 
springs,  after  making  a  thorough 
study  of  West  Coast  cities,  liecause 
of  San  Francisco's  central  location 
and  ideal  facilities  for  e.\pediting  the 
handling  of  our  product. 

"From  our  new  San  Francisco 
headfiuarters,  to  be  located  at  489 
(lolden  C!ate  avenue,  we  shall  serve 
the  entire  Pacific  slope  and  the 
Islands,  our  firm  being  prepared  to 
ship  from  San  Francisco  any  one  of 
fifteen  hundred  types  of  springs  for 
automol)iles  or  trucks  in  addition  to 
a  line  of  wagon  hardware  and 
bumpers. 

"Kvery  Flastern  manuacturer  is 
looking  to  the  Pacific  Co.ist  more 
and  more,  knowing  that  if  he  has  not 
already  provided  a  factory  or  dis- 
tributing branch  out  here,  it  is  one 
of  the  steps  to  be  taken  in  the  future, 
and  with  .San  Francisco's  obvious 
advantages  a  great  many  of  these 
branches  will  be  located  here. 

"With  your  deep  water  and  ex- 
tensive industrial  acreage  e.\tending 
to  the  soutii  of  .San  Francisco  down 
the  peninsula,  it  takes  no  prophet  to 
see  that  the  future  of  .San  Francisco 
is  great  indeed."

adverti.secl  product  and  specializes

Story    of   Hetch    Hetchy 
t^^w  Out  in  Book  Form 


Students  Entertained 

Twenty-five  graduating  members 
of  the  hi.story  class  of  Tracy  High 
School  were  given  close-ups  of  his- 
toric spots  in  San  Francisco  Friday 
afternoon  as  guests  of  the  Hospital- 
ity Bureau  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  An  auto- 
mobile tour  of  the  city  included 
Portsmouth  Square,  Chinatown, 
Tlie  Presidio,  Palace  of  the  Legion 
of  Honor  and  other  points  of  inter- 
est. 


The  complete  >iiny  nf  llctch 
Hetchy  is  told  in  an  interesting  book 
by  Ray  W.  Taylor,  San  Francisco 
newspaper  man.  which  has  just  been 
published  by  Hicardo  .).  Orozco. 

"If  the  people  control  public 
utilities,  why  own  them'.'"  is  one  of 
the  verj-  vital  subjects  discussed  by 
the  author.  He  ilescribes  the  vast 
problems  involved  in  transporting 
water  1.50  miles  from  the  Sierras  to 
San  F'rancisco  and  the  enormous 
sums  of  money  expended  in  develop- 
ing the  Hetch  Hetchy  project;  the 
famous  spring  V.\  Polin,  believed  to 
be  responsible  for  the  fecundity  of 
the  Spanish  garrisons  at  the  I're- 
sidio,  and  the  formation  of  the 
Golden   Gate. 

Mr.  Taylor's  book  is  a  valuable 
contribution  to  the  historical  litera- 
ture of  San  Franci.sco  and  embodies 
an  interesting  and  connected  ac- 
count of  the  development  of  the 
cit\'*s  long  struggle  over  water.  It 
can  be  purcha.sed  only  from  the 
publisher. 


The  Nation's  Editors  to  See 
Our  Redwoods 

Plans  for  the  routing  of  individual 
members  of  the  National  Editorial 
Association  party  to  and  through 
the  Redwood  Highway  luupire  in 
July,  in  the  form  of  po.st-con  vent  ion 
tours,  are  being  worked  out  liy  the 
Redwood  Highway  Association, 
under  the  direction  of  Frederick  H. 
Meyer,  president. 

Since  every  minute  of  time  is 
taken  up  during  the  N.  E.  A.'s  stay 
in  Central  California,  between  July 
11  and  1.5,  it  has  been  found  impos- 
sible to  route  the  entire  party  of  750 
people  any  farther  north  than 
Sonoma  County,  according  to 
officials  of  the  Editorial  Association. 

However,  the  Redwood  Highway 
officials  are  now  planning  itineraries 
for  independent  and  conducted  tours 
over  the  Retiwood  Highway  for 
those  members  of  the  N.  E.  A.  who 
do  not  immediately  return  East,  as 
well  as  for  those  planning  to  continue 
on  to  Portland  before  going  East. 

The  Association  hopes  to  route 
the  bulk  of  parties  bound  for  Port- 
land over  the  Redwood  Highway, 
either  via  railroad,  motor  stage,  or 
automobile. 


THE  BAY  BRIDGE 

[  c-<,nt!nu<-d  from  pagp  1  ) 

tunnel  is  so  placed  as  to  leave  the 
channel  along  the  San  Francisco  side 
unobstructed  to  a  depth  of  fifty  feet 
at  mean  lower  low  water  for  a  width 
of  a.OOO  feet  measured  from  the 
nearest  point  of  the  pier-head  line, 
and  provided  that  proper  compensa- 
tion is  made  for  obstruction  of  cros.s- 
section  as  affecting  tidal  flow. 

(.5)  That  not  more  than  one 
cro.ssing  will  be  approved  at  present 
in  any  location  north  of  San  Mateo. 

Major  John  W.  N.  Sehulz.  in 
charge  of  the  Firet  Division,  Corps 
of  llngineers,  with  headquarters  in 
San  Francisco,  is  now  preparing  a 
s<'cond  report  on  the  bridge  situation 
which  will  be  sent  to  Washington  in 
the  near  future.  This  report  may 
result  in  reaffirmation  of  the  policies 
enunciated  in  1921,  or  they  may  be 
modified. 

No  less  than  nine  different  projects 
have  been  presented  and  are  now 
pending  before  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors. It  is  believed  vmlikely  that 
any  of  them  can  properly  be  con- 
sidered until  the  Army  Board  of 
Engineers  in  Washington  receives 
the  .second  Sehulz  report  and  it  is 
definitely  established  which,  if  any. 
meets  with  Government  require- 
ments. 

With  these  facts  taken  into  con- 
sideration it  is  olniously  the  part  of 
wisdom  for  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
'merce  to  withhold  specific  endorse- 
ment of  any  particular  project  until 
such  time  as  the  es.sentials  are  defi- 
nitely determined.  When  these  are 
determined  the  Chamber  will  play 
an  appropriate  part  in  the  realiza- 
tion of  an  improvement  that  is  very 
urgently  needed  by  .San  Francisco 
and  her  neighboring  cities. 


Americans  Abroad  Relieved 
of  Taxes 

American  foreign  trade  repre- 
sentatives abroad  are  relieved  of  tax 
upon  their  incomes  while  resident  in 
foreign  countries,  according  to  the 
revenue  act  of  1926  approved  by 
President  Coolidge  on  February  26. 
The  Foreign  Trade  Department  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  sup- 
ported this  proposal  for  several 
years.  This  action  relieves  American 
business  representatives  from  a 
handicap  and  places  them  in  equal 
position  to  representatives  of  other 
nations  who  have  long  been  exempt 
from  home  taxation.

A  City  Without  Limitations! 

ATURAL  resources  and  facilities  have  been  a  great  factor  in  San  Fran' 
Cisco's  past  and  present  prosperity  and  growth.

Vast  industry  and  shipping  have  developed  as  the  result  of  our  deep

nclamation  and  devtlopnnnt.  This  will  increase  the  industrial  waterfront  property 
WITHIN  THE  CITY  LIMITS  by  many  hundreds  of  acres.

There  are  still  hundreds  of  acres  of  industrial  property  WITHOUT  waterfront 
facilities  available  for  industry  within  the  city  limits.  Islais  Creek  Reclamation  District 
will  alone  produce  291  INDUSTRIAL  ACRES. 

&         -Si         s*i 

Deep  water  means  shipping.  But  if  the  city  is  to  grow,  shipping  must  res/tit  in  industry 
—the  fabrication  into  finished  products  of  the  raw  materials  that  go  through  the  port.

Hundreds  of  Eastern  concerns  are  looking  to  San  Francisco  as  the  CENTRAL 
POINT  for  manufacture  and  distribution  to  serve  a  population  oj  five  and  one-half  million 
people  ivithin  San  Francisco's  trade  territory.

Aside  from  industrial  property  within  the  city,  acreage  for  vast  growth  and  devel' 
opment  of  the  future  is  to  be  found  down  the  Peninsula,  where  4g  miles  of  industrial 
waterfront  with  thousands  of  industrial  acres  adjacent  are  favored  with  deep  tvater.

For  the  most  part  this  acreage  is  virgin,  although  the  San  Francisco  Bay  Terminals

UNDER  new  arraiig;oments 
entered  into  with  the  Mexican 
Government,  the  Postal  Tele- 
graph Commercial  Cables  Systein 
will  hereafter  render  a  telegraph  and 
cable  service  into  and  out  of  Mexico, 
according  to  the  following  announce- 
ment by  Clarence  H.  Mackay,  presi- 
dent of  these  companies: 

"For  about  fifty  years  there  has 
been  a  monopoly  of  the  telegraph 
service  between  the  United  States 
and  Mexico,  which  prevented  my 
company  from  introducing  compe- 
tition. On  several  occasions  we  have 
made  efforts  to  introduce  competi- 
tive service,  and,  in  fact,  in  1897  did 
actually  establish  a  connection  with 
Mexico,  but  after  a  few  months  we 
were  compelled  to  discontinue  this 
service  in  consequence  of  the  then 
existing  monopolies. 

"The  new  arrangements  with  the 
Mexican  Telegraph  Administration, 
to  which  my  company  is  a  party 
have  resulted  in  the  cancellation  ol 
the    old-time    monopolies,  and  the 
Postal  Telegraph  and  Commercial 
Cable  Companies  are  thus  able  to 
offer  the  public  a  competitive  tele- 
graph service  to  and  from  Mexico. 
This  will  undoubtedly  result  m  a 
superior    and    enhanced    telegraph 
service    with    Mexico,    which    goes 
hand  in  hand  with  mcreased  com- 
mercial intercourse." 


A  TIMELY  SERVICE 

HERE  is  a  little  record  of  serv- 
ice It  is  only  one  of  many 
similar  services  that  are  con- 
stantly being  rendered  by  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  to  its  members, 
but  of  which  little  is  ever  heard. 

A  San  Francisco  firm  had  been 
unable  for  several  months  to  get  a 
check  from  M'ashington  for  goods 
delivered  to  the  Government.  A 
number  of  complications  had  caused 
the  delay.  The  firm,  being  a  member 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  came 
and  stated  its  case  and  asked  if  any- 
thing could  be  done  about  it^  Ihe 
Chamber's  repre.sentative  '"  Wash- 
ington was  immediately  notified  and 
he  took  the  matter  up  with  the 
Comptroller  General.  Things  were 
qSy  straightened  out  and  the 
check  is  now  in  the  mail  heading 
west    That  was  one  little  service  to 

a  member. 


UX  FHANCISCO  BtSINKSS.  MARCH  24.   Mi 


The  Rapid  Growth  of  a  Local  Industry 


IN  the  Pioneer  Rubber  Mills  the 
Pacific  ("oast  has  one  of  the 
leading  manufacturers  of  me- 
chanical rubber  goods  in  the  United 
States.  Starting  in  the  rubber  manu- 
facturing business  in  1888  this  com- 
pany has  built  up  a  world-wide  dis- 
tribution on  its  various  lines  of 
rubber  belting,  hose  and  packing. 

The  principal  products  manufac- 
tured are  transmission,  conveyor 
and  elevator  belting,  rubber  hose  of 
all  kinds,  rubber  packing  and  bat- 
tery jars.  A  single  order  for  dredg- 
ing sleeves  recently  manufactured 
amounted  to  over  S30,000  in  value 

Develops  New  Process 

Five  years  ago  the  Pioneer  Rub- 
l)er  Mills  developed  a  new  process 
for  the  manufhcture  of  garden  hose 
which  turned  out  so  satisfactory'  a 
product  that  today  Pioneer  hose  is 
sold  all  over  the  world  and  the  com- 
pany is  recognized  as  one  of  the 
world's  largest  garden  hose  manu- 
facturers. At  the  present  time  one 
million  feet  of  garden  ho.se  is  being 
manufactured  iier  month.  This 
production  will  be  increased  in  the 
near  future  to  take  care  of  steadily 
growing  sales. 

In  manufacturing  garden  hose 
huge  moulds  are  u.sed  in  which 
.500  feet  of  hose  is  vulcanized  at 
one  time.  A  total  plate  pressure  of 
one  and  a  half  million  pounds  is 
applied  to  these  moulds  in  mammoth 
hydraulic  presses,  each  press  weigh- 
ing appro.xiniately   l.iO  tons. 

Modem  Equipment 

The  Pioneer  Rubber  Mills  is 
modernly  equipped  throughout  for 
manufacturing  rubber  transmission, 
conveyor  and  elevator  Ijelting  and 
hose  of  all  kinds. 

Rubber  transmission .  belting  is 
used  in  practically  every  industn,-. 
the  sawmills  of  the  Pacific  North- 
west purchasing  large  quantities 
annually.  Rubber  covered  convej-or 
belts  are  widely  used  in  sawmills  for 
conveying  hogged  fuel,  in  the  cement 
and  rock  crushing  industries,  in 
fiour  and  sugar  mills,  in  mines,  in 
grain  elevators  and  in  even,'  indus- 
try where  costs  can  be  reduced  by 
supplanting  manual  labor  with  me- 
chanical equipment. 

Engineers  of.  the  company  are 
constantly  studying  the  po.ssibilities 
of  conveyor  and  elevator  belting  for 
reducing  costs  and  speeding  up  pro- 
duction in  a  wide  range  of  industries. 

The  Pioneer  Rubber  Mills  has 
supplied  many  of  the  leading  cities

Our  New  ^250,000,000  Neighbor 


A  group  of  Twin  Falls,  Idaho,  Trade  Delefiatc 
Rogerson-Wells  Cut-off.  They  wire  t 


New  Trade  Opportunities  Revealed  at  Chamber  Luncheon 

The  Idaho  delegates  were  met  at 
the  ferry  by  representatives  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  on  their  ar- 
rival here  last  Sunday.  They  were 
escorted  to  their  hotel,  driven  about 
the  city,  entertained  at  luncheon, 
and  finally  met  by  representative 
business  men  in  trade  conferences 
that  undoubtedly  will  result  in  a 
closer  relationship  between  this  city 
and  its  new  neighbor. 

.lohn  VV.  Graham,  prominent  at- 
torney of  Twin  Falls,  voiced  the 
enthusiasm  of  his  fellow  delegates 
ovei'  the  reception  tendered  them  by 
local  business  men.  He  reiterated 
the  statement  of  Mr.  Wilson  that 
much  of  the  business  of  Idaho  is  San 
Francisco's  for  the  asking,  and  urged 
that  a  party  be  organized  in  the  very 
near  future  to  visit  Idaho  and  see  the 
vast  possibilities  for  industrial  and 
agricultural  development. 


IAN  FRANCTSC( )  is  and 
will  henceforth  be  the 
li'y,ical  market  for  .?250,- 
0110,000  worth  of  annual 
products  that  have  here- 
tofore traveled  from  2,000  to  2,.500 
miles  eastward  to  other  cities. 

This  was  the  message  brought  to 
the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce la.st  Monday  by  a  trade  dele- 
gation from  the  Twin  Falls  County 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  celebrating 
the  opening  of  the  new  railroad  cut- 
off from  Rogerson,  Idaho,  to  Wells, 
Nevada. 

Asher  B.  Wilson,  who  headed  the 
Idaho  partv  and  spokesman  for  his 
associates  at  a  luncheon  tendered  by 
the  local  Chamber  in  the  Conmier- 
cial  Club,  presented  striking  figures 
descriptive  of  the  development  of 
his  state  during  recent  years.  Here 
are  a  few. 

Idaho's    agricultural    income    in 


1S,S9  was  S3.8S4,930.  The  popula- 
tion of  the  state  at  the  time  was 
166,772. 

One  j'ear  later,  or  in  1900,  the 
agricultural  income  had  more  than 
doubled,  being  $8,951,440. 

In  1925  these  figures  had  jumped 
to  $121,710,000  for  agriculture  alone, 
while  other  factors,  such  as  wool, 
lambs,  cattle  and  hogs,  bees,  mining 
and  lumber,  added  another  $108,- 
000,000,  making  the  imposing  total 
of  .§229,000,000. 

Idaho  looks  to  San  Francisco  as 
its  logical  market.  In  actual  mileage 
the  distance  is  little  more  than  700 
miles.  In  time,  which  is  even  a 
greater  factor  in  the  shipment  of 
cattle  and  other  perishable  freight, 
the  distance  is  hardly  twelve  hours. 

These  are  the  people  who  want  to 
do  business  with  us  and  who  have 
come  to  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
to  tell  us  what  they  have.

LEADS /or  NEW  BUSINESS 


A  new  firm  entering  a  new  territory  must  mak« 
new  friends,  and  established  firms  have  a  chance  of 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  npw- 
comers  if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamtier 
of  Commerce.  It  is  a  compilation  of  the  names  of 
new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  from  many  sources.  It  is  released  with- 
out specific  check-up,  as  firms  generally  prefer  tp

SAN  FKANCISCO  Br.SI.\K.S.S,  MARCH  31.   1926 


San  Francisco  is  the  Terminus  Of  All  Lines 


Our  Bay  is  NOT  a  Barrier 
to  Industrial  Transportation 

HAN  rUANCISCO  RAY 
lilt  a  barrier  to  San 
iiicisco's   industrial 

((X^i^v^l  transportation.  Twenty 
1  minutes  by  water  is  the 
.same  as  twenty  minutes  by  rail." 
This  is  the  statement  of  George  Gay, 
chainnan  of  the  Industrial  Com- 
mittee of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
emphasizing  the  fact  that  San  Fran- 
cisco's possibilities  for  industrial 
expansion  are  equal  to  those  of  any 
other  bay  point. 

"Sometimes  the  impression  is 
given  that  the  bay  is  an  obstacle  to 
our  transportation  communication 
with  eastern  points.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  space  with  intervening  water  is 
not  different  from  space  with  inter- 
vening land.  Time  is  the  factor. 
Considered  in  the  light  of  the  time 
element  the  bay  is  only  twenty 
minutes  wide  and  this  is  a  vital  point 
to  have  in  mind  when  explaining  the 
industrial  advantages  of  San  Fran- 
cisco to  our  visitors. 

"Marketing  facilities  form  the 
most  important  factor  in  the  loca- 
tion of  industry,  and  market  means, 
first,  immediate  proximity  to  the 
greatest  number  of  people,  and. 
second,  ea-sy  access  for  shipment  to 
the  lesser  number.  San  Francisco  is 
highly  favored  from  both  stand- 
points. In  the  switching  limits  of 
San  Francisco  there  is  68  per  cent 
greater  population  than  in  the 
switching  Umits  of  any  other  San 
Francisco  Bay  point.  This  means 
that  from  the  doors  of  industries 
located  in  San  Francisco  a  greater 
number  of  people  can  be  reached 
without  freight  haul  than  from  any 
other  point  on  the  entire  Pacific 
Coast  north  of  Tehachapi;  and  it 
means  further  that  San  Francisco's 
industrial  product  that  is  sold  else- 
where is  subject  to  excellent  delivery 
facilities. 

"In  this  connection  it  should  be 
clearly  borne  in  mind  that  when 
mail,  parcel  post  or  express  is  left  in 
San  Francisco  with  the  railroad  for 
shipment,  it  is  delivered  to  the  train 
at  its  starting  point,  as  San  Fran- 
cisco is  the  terminus  of  all  lines 
serving  this  section.  This  means 
that  goods  delivered  to  transporta- 
tion companies  at  points  outside 
San  Francisco  must  await  the  ar- 
rival of  the  train  from  San  Francisco 
before  going  forward.  San  Fran- 
cisco is  the  terminus."

Speeding  the  Municipal  Airport 


Another  Palatial  Liner 
for  the  Pacific 

GAI.IF(  )KXIA  aiul  particularly 
San  Francisco  has  a  direct 
vital  interest  in  the  keel-layint; 
at  Xewport  News  recently  for  the 
new  thirty  thousand  ton  displace- 
ment liner  for  the  Panama  Pacific 
Line. 

This  ceremony  not  only  marks  the 
l)eginning  of  one  of  the  largest  and 
most  palatial  liners  ever  to  be  built 
in  an  American  shipyard  but  initi- 
ates a  new  era  in  steamship  pas- 
senger and  freight  transportation 
between  California  and  New  York. 
The  builders  promise  delivery  on 
the  ve.ssel  in  the  autumn  of  1927. 

The  Panama  Pacific  Line  was 
represented  at  the  ceremony  by 
Captain  Roger  Williams,  formerly 
of  the  U.  S.  Navy,  who  will  be  in 
charge  of  the  construction. 

The  propulsion  of  the  big  steamer 
will  be  turbo-electric  drive.  In- 
terior design  and  decorations  will 
strike  a  strong  original  AiBerican 
note  without  the  introduction  of 
foreign  ideas.  The  newly  opened 
American  wing  in  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  .Art  in  New  York  has 
furnished  the  decorators  with  in- 
spiration for  the  treatment  of  the 
principal  rooms  aboard. 

Mural  paintings  which  will  em- 
body the  spirit,  romance  and  ad- 
venture attending  the  discovery  and 
development  of  the  West,  will  be 
featured. 

Among  the  novel  features  of  the 
new  steamer  will  be  a  veranda  cafe 
and  a  cabaret  ballroom  with  a  stage. 
Practically  an  entire  lower  deck  is 
to  be  occupied  as  a  garage  for  auto- 
mobiles of  passengers  which  have 
been  shippetl  as  baggage.

With  Supervisor  Kent  and  others 
the  committee  will  meet  at  lunch- 
eon in  the  Commercial  Club,  follow- 
ing which  the  party  will  make  a  trip 
of  inspection  of  four  proposed  sites. 
Realizing  the  urgent  necessity  for 
a  municipal  airport  as  the  first  step 
in  the  development  of  commercial 
aviation  in  San  Francisco,  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  has  been 
actively  engaged  for  several  months 
in  the  accomplishment  of  this  as  one 
of  its  major  jsrojects.  In  this  con- 
nection it  has  invited  the  coopera- 
tion of  other  civic  organizations  and 
there  is  every  hope  that  Thursday's 
meeting  will  be  fruitful  of  imme- 
diate results. 


Three  Big  Developments 

During  the  last  week  there  have 
been  three  developments  of  vital 
interest  to  all  San  Franciscans.  Each 
of  the.se  is  the  direct  result  of  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  initiation.  They 
are:  first,  federal  apiiropriation  of 
•SoO.OOil  for  the  appointment  of  three 
new  foreign  trade  commissioners  to 
promote  trade  between  Pacific  Coast 
ports  and  South  America,  Central 
America  and  the  Orient:  second, 
federal  appropriation  for  the  im- 
provement of  the  harbor  of 
Kahului;  and,  third,  initiation  of  a 
movement  to  improve  San  Fran- 
cisco's traffic  conditions.

mineral  deposits  are  invited  to  fur- 
nish the  bureau  with  information 
about  their  deposits,  which  is  as-

being  used  for  each  mineral. 

These  hsts  are  sent  to  users  of 
minerals  throughout  the  country; 
the  service  rendered  is  that  of  a 
clearing  hovise  for  information  and 
is  absolutely  free,  both  to  the  owner 
of  the  deposit  and  the  user.

Asks  Aid  for  School 

THE  American  School  of  the 
City  of  Mexico  is  doing  much 
towartls  bringing  a!)out  better 
understanding  between  the  United 
States  and  Mexico.  Children  of 
American  as  well  as  Mexican  and 
European  parentage  attend  and 
learn  their  fundamentals  in  se\'eral 
languages.  The  American  Chamber 
of  Commerce  in  Mexico  has  under- 
taken to  secure  a  fund  of  250,000 
pesos  for  the  support  of  the  school. 
Of  this  three-fourths  will  l)e  used  to 
pay  off  the  mortgage  on  the  school 
which  comes  due  in  July,  and  the 
rest  will  be  used  to  build  an  assembly 
hall  and  play  room  combined.  The 
major  part  of  this  fund  has  been 
raised  in  Mexico  City  and  the 
.\merican  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  written  tlie  Foreign  Trade  De- 
partment stating  that  it  will  be  glad 
to  accept  subscriptions  from  Ameri- 
can foreign  trade  firms  trading  with 
Mexico. 

San  Francisco  firms  which  desire 
to  have  their  names  associated  with 
this  undertaking  may  secure  further 
details  from  the  Foreign  Tiade  De- 
partment.

;A.\  FKANCISCO  BISINKSS,  APRIL  7,   Ifll'fi 


Great  Concert  to  Aid  Symphony  Orchestra 


Ar  til.-  i-lo.se  of  tlic  l'J2r)-lil2(l 
season  of  coiieerts.  tlie  San 
"Franciseo  Synipliony  Orelies- 
tra  finds  itself  with  a  cash  deficiency 
of  about  S43,000. 

This  di'ficicncy  will  have  to  he 
provided  for  before  any  respoiisi- 
iiilities  for  the  next  season  can  be 
undertaken. 

To  aid  in  raising  the  funds  to  meet 
this  deficiency,  a  Benefit  Concert 
will  be  Riven  in  the  Exposition  Audi- 
torium on  Sunday  evening,  April  18. 

The  program  will  include  Mozart's 
"Jupiter"  Synii)hony.  several  solos 
by  Claire  Dux.  an  internationally 
famed  soloist,  accompanied  by  or- 
chestra; and  as  a  climax,  the  first 
local  performance  of  K  icharc  I  St  r.auss ' 
gigantic  tone  poem  "A  Hero's  Life" 
will  be  given. 

Mr.  Hertz  now  is  conducting  re- 
hearsals (twice  daily)  of  this  work. 
"A  Hero's  Life"  is  regarded  uni- 
versally as  one  of  the  greatest  con- 
tributions to  musical  literature  dur- 
ing the  last  century  and  calls  for  a 
greatly  augmented  orchestra,  more 
than  one  hundred  musicians  being 
required  for  its  presentation. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  direc- 
tors of  the  Chamber,  Mr.  .John  D. 
McKee,  president  of  the  Musical 
Association  of  San  Francit-co,  made 
an  appeal  for  the  hel])  of  the  Cham- 
ber in  making  this  benefit  concert 
the  greatest  possible  success.  Mr. 
McKee  stated  that  if  the  house  could 
be  sold  out  for  this  concert,  making 
possible  a  substantial  profit,  he  then 
expected  to  secure  sufficient  cash 
contriliutions  from  individual  sup- 
porters of  the  orchestra  to  l)alance 
the  l>udKct  and  enal)le  the  associa- 
tion to  face  the  coming  sea.son  on  an 
even  basis. 

Mr.  McKee  pointed  out  emphati- 
cally that  a  full  attendance  would 
l)p  an  indication  that  the  Symphony 
Orchestra  had  the  support  of  the 
community,  and  would  lie  a  distinct 
encouragement  to  those  who  were 
working  hard  to  maintain  the  orches- 
tra as  a  valued  asset  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

The  ( 'hamber  of  ( 'ommerce  hear  t- 
ily  endor.ies  the  statements  made 
and  urges  u|)on  its  members  the  pur- 
chase of  tickets  for  the  Benefit  Con- 
cert. 

Every  ticket  purchased  not  only 
will  help  the  Supporting  Fund  of  the 
Orchestra,  but  will  be  an  investment 
intrinsically  worth  more  than  its 
cost.  The  prices  of  tickets  are  S3,  82 
and.'?l.

Purchasing  Agent 
Convention  Will 
Draw  Hundreds 

By  D.  B.  CRAY 

Manufacturers  on  the  Facific 
Coast  have  a  rare  oppor-tunity  to 
exhibit  their  pro<^}rcts  during  the 
four  days  of  the  Convention  of  Pur- 
chasing Agents  to  be  held  in  Los 
Angeles,  .lune  9  to  12. 

This  is  the  Eleventh  Annual  Inter- 
national Convention  of  Purchasing 
Agents. 

It  is  the  fir.st  convention  of  the 
National  Association  to  be  held  west 
of  the  Rockies. 

Every  purchasing  agent  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  who  can  possibly  get 
away  will  endeavor  to  attend  this 
convention. 

A  great  Informashow  will  be 
staged  in  which  Pacific  Coast  manu- 
facturer's have  Ijcen  especially  asked 
to  place  exhibits. 

This  Informashow,  which  is  a 
great  exhibit  of  manufactured  ai't  icles 
and  raw  products,  provides  a  won- 
derful opportunity  for  producers  to 
demonstrate  their  products  first- 
hand to  purchasing  agents  of  big 
firms  all  over  the  L'nited  States  and 
Canada.  Tliis  is  an  opportunity 
that  seldom  comes  to  any  manufac- 
turer—  a  selective  audience  and  not 
a  merely  curious  ci'owd. 

It  is  estimated  tliat  the  attend- 
ance at  the  convention  and  the 
Informashow  will  include  about 
twelve  hundred  purchasers.  The 
Purchasing  Agents'  Association  of 
Northern  California  expect  to  send 
at  least  one  hundred  delegates. 

Information  regarding  the  In- 
formashow, space,  rates,  etc.,  can 
be  obtained  from  L.  A.  Colton  of 
the  Zellerbaeh  Paper  Company  or 
from  the  association  headquarters, 
433  California  Street,  phone  Garfield 
124.

FOREWORD 


CLAY    MILLER 
President,  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 


AN  FRANCISCO  is  today  in  a  better  position  than  at  any  time 
during  the  past  twenty  years  to  understand  its  true  place  among 
Vmerican  cities.  Twenty  years  ago  the  city  was  devastated  byagreat 
calamity.  Scarcely  recovered  from  that  blow  and  normal  conditions 
and  economic  trends  were  destroyed  by  the  World  War.  During  that  period 
the  Port  of  San  Francisco  was  utilized  to  meet  prevailing  world  conditions 
and  an  abnormal  trade  was  based  upon  a  world  demand  centered  upon 
America  for  food  and  raw  materials. 

Today,  however,  trade  and  transportation  are  responding  to  normal  laws 
and  conditions  and  San  Francisco  is  truly  reflecting  the  resources  and  import- 
ance of  the  territory  which  it  serves  and  is  receiving  recognition  as  a  world 
city  with  matchless  geographic  location  with  reference  to  markets,  transpor- 
tation, distribution  and  communication. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  presenting  in  this  Year  Book 
facts  and  figures  which  truthfully  show  the  conditions  which  give  San 
Francisco  impressive  importance  among  American  cities.  The  articles  and 
tables  arc  from  authentic  sources  and  show  not  onlv  the  progress  which  has 
been  made  but  present  reasons  for  the  pride  and  faith  which  we  have  in  San 
Francisco's  greatness. 

In  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  are  focalized  the  strong,  con- 
structive elements  of  the  community.  The  physical  organization  with  its 
various  departments  is  based  upon  a  sound  and  economic  basis  and  the  several 
hundred  of  our  leading  business  men  who  form  the  Board  of  Directors  and 
the  various  standing  committees  are  sincerely  devoted  to  the  solution  of  the 
major  problems  of  San  Francisco  and  the  early  realization  of  her  magnificent 
opportunities. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  endeavoring  to  coordinate  all  community 
effort,  to  eliminate  the  waste  and  to  stabilize  and  give  leadership  to  such 
work  as  will  form  a  sound  basis  for  our  present  and  future  welfare.  Upon 
every  side  is  evidence  of  faith  in  the  city  and  desire  of  our  people  to  serve. 
The  Chamber  of  Commerce,  by  reason  of  its  representative  character,  is 
charged  with  a  definite  leadership  in  matters  concerning  our  commercial  life,

The  Wealth  of  San  Francisco 

The  ISlature  and  True  Source  of  the  Qty's  JVell-Being 


IJHE  well-being  of  San 
Francisco — that  is  to 
say,  the  city's  rapidly  in- 
creasing wealth  and  the 
true  sources  thereof  — 
may  best  be  seen  if  drawn  to  a 
statistical  focus,  and  if  it  be  viewed 
in  relationship  with  the  wealth  and 
well-being  of  the  whole  of  California. 
Not  that  the  state  borders  mark 
the  limit  of  the  city's  economic  per- 
spective. This  is  far  wider.  It  em- 
braces, in  fact,  the  whole  of  the 
Pacific  littoral,  the  Asiatic  as  well  as 
the  west  coast  of  the  two  Ameri- 
cas. At  times,  however,  and  for  the 
purposes  of  clearer  vision,  it  is 
advantageous,  even  for  so  wide- 
angled  a  contrivance  as  the  statisti- 
cal eye,  to  limit  the  field  somewhat, 
and  hence,  for  the  purposes  of  this 
article,  that  limitation  has  been 
fi.xed  at  the  borders  of  California. 

The  Wheel  of  Prosperity 

It  will  serve  a  convenience  also  if 
our  lookout  post  shaU  be  from 
Meiggs  wharf,  where  we  may  watch 
the  vessels  come  and  go.  The 
reasons  for  this  had  best  be  given. 
A  good  marine  glass,  such  as  Meiggs 
affords  us,  is  not  the  only  optical 
instrument  wherewith  one  may  see 
the  huge  wheel  of  San  Francisco's 
prosperity  and  the  forces  that  make 
it  go.  But  sea-borne  commerce  has  a 
traditional  claim  upon  this  recogni- 
tion, and  it  still  contributes  a  very 
portly  slice  of  the  city's  annual  in- 
come. And  quite  aside  from  these 
considerations,  there  is  a  story  to  be 
found  in  the  goods  which  come  and 
go  in  the  bellies  of  the  passing  ships 
which  must  not  be  overlooked,  a 
story  that  really  reveals,  with  a 
clarity  not  elsewhere  found,  the 
true  significance  of  the  oft  used 
phrase:  The  Wealth  of  California! 

For  our  own  convenience,  there- 
fore, we  have  taken  our  post  at 
Meiggs  wharf,  fixed  our  statistical 
eye  into  the  marine  glass,  and  from 
there,  after  we  have  surveyed  the 
commerce  of  this  port  in  some  detail, 
we  shall  not  hesitate  to  turn  it  land- 
ward and  scrutinize  for  a  bit  the 
nature  and  the  sources  of  all  this 
wealth  that  these  ships  are  so  cease- 
lessly carrying  in  and  out  of  port. 

II 

Commerce,  of  course,  signifies  the 
prevalence  of  goods — the  things  of 


By  C.  E.  KUNZE 


use  which  the  whole  world  needs  and 
desires.  California  has  always  been 
a  mother  of  goods.  Even  when  the 
first  Nordic  traders  came  here,  with 
quantities  of  merchandise  for  the 
Indians  and  the  Spanish  settlers, 
they  found  vast  stores  of  goods  to 
take  away  with  them,  the  hides  and 
tallow  of  the  great  cattle  ranches, 
furs  and  quantities  of  salt  meat  and 
other  food  products.  Up  to  the  ar- 
rival of  the  Americans  the  tide  of 
trade  was  altogether  outward,  but 
with  the  discovery  of  gold,  and  the 
sudden  inrush  of  people  with  their 
great  need  for  supplies  that  tide  was 
abruptly  reversed,  and  for  more  than 
a  decade  the  goods  came  in  and  only 
one  article  of  trade,  namely  virgin 
gold,  went  out.  The  old  trade  in 
hides  and  tallow  continued  to  some 
extent,  but  it  no  longer  amounted  to 
enough  for  serious  consideration. 

This  flow  of  merchandise  into  San 
Francisco,  and  the  export  of  gold, 
began  to  change  in  the  early  sixties, 
when  the  great  wheat  farms  and 
later  barley  ranches  began  to  yield 
so  heavily  their  somewhat  darker 
grains  of  gold.  The  nature  of  mining 
also  began  to  change,  with  hydrau- 
hcking  and  quartz  mining  developing 
a  need  for  new  kinds  of  equipment 
and  machinery.  Lumbering  also  got 
under  way,  with  its  need  for  special 
equipment,  and  the  huge  ranches  of 
the  Sacramento  and  San  Joaquin 
opened  a  market  for  farming  ma- 
chinery of  peculiar  design. 

San  Francisco's  Inventions 

It  is  significant  that  these  changes 
in  California's  economic  affairs  were 
accompanied  by  the  establishment 
in  San  Francisco  of  shops  and 
foundries,  where  the  engines,  mining 
pumps,  hoists,  sawmiU  machinery 
and  other  needed  equipment  were 
manufactured.  There  exists,  in  fact, 
a  whole  history  of  San  Francisco 
inventions,  many  of  them  of  an  im- 
portance that  revolutionized  the 
industries  in  which  they  were  em- 
ployed, the  beginning  of  which  is 
found  here  in  second  decade  of  the 
American  occupation,  and  it  is  this 
history,  together  with  the  story  of 
California  manufacture,  that  has 
played  so  vital  a  role  in  the  com- 
merce of  this  port. 


The  active  export  of  fabricated 
goods  dates  from  the  middle  and  late 
sixties. 

Its  importance  was  not  so  much 
from  the  tonnage  it  provided  for  the 
waiting  ships  as  in  the  value  of  the 
goods,  for  the  process  of  manufac- 
ture for  San  Francisco  and  for  the 
state  as  a  whole  adds  very  close  to 
40  per  cent  to  the  value  of  the 
materials  used  in  the  process. 

The  sea-borne  commerce  of  San 
Francisco  for  the  year  1924  reached 
the  total  of  8319,000,000. 

The  manufactures  in  San  Fran- 
cisco for  1923,  the  last  year  for 
which  census  figures  are  available, 
were  valued  at  $416,000,000. 

Exports  and  Imports 

The  commerce  between  exports, 
which  are  more  heavily  affected  by 
local  manufactures  than  are  the  im- 
ports, and  imports  was  as  follows: 

Exports  (exclusive  of  gold  and 
silver)  $173,000,000. 

Imports  (exclusive  of  gold  and 
silver)  8146,000,000. 

An  analysis  of  the  goods  shipped 
in  and  out  reveals  the  close  relation- 
ship between  commerce  and  manu- 
facture, and  also  between  commerce 
and  the  production  of  raw  materials 
for  which  California  is  so  widely 
noted.  The  following  table  presents 
the  story  of  the  export  goods: 

SAN  FRANCISCO  EXPORTS— 1924 
Commodities  Value 

Food  products $  57,667,827 

Mineral  oils 40,372,778 

Cotton,  raw 14,944,969

Foreign  merchandise ..  .       2,319,731 
All  other  goods 39,618,235 

ToT.u, 3173,433,235 

Food  products,  the  largest  item  in 
the  hst,  are  the  combined  output  of 
three  groups  of  producers,  the 
farmers,  fisherfolk  and  industrial 
workers.  The  larger  share  falls  to 
the  farmer,  for  many  of  the  food 
products  require  but  little  treat- 
ment by  industry  to  make  them 
ready  for  market.  In  addition,  the 
farmer  supplies  the  raw  cotton,  and 
contributes  heavily  to  such  articles 
as  hides  and  leather,  the  tobacco  and 
some  of  the  fabricated  goods.

SAX  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  APRIL  14,  1926 


The  Wealth  of  San  Francisco— g 


The  item  of  mineral  oils  repre- 
sents the  product  of  the  Cahfornia 
oil  fields  and  the  refineries,  consist- 
ing as  it  does  chiefly  of  gasoline, 
kerosene,  fuel  oil  and  lubricating 
products.  In  this  category  of  mer- 
chandise the  raw  material  carries 
about  two-thirds  of  the  value,  and 
the  manufacturing  process  carries 
one-third. 

Food  Exported 

In  the  top  it«m,  food  products,  the 
exports  of  which  in  1924  amounted 
to  $57,000,000— nearly  one-third  of 
the  w'hole  export  total — the  compon- 
ent factors  were  as  follows: 

COMMODFTY  VaLUE  EXPORTED 

Canned  fruit $17,074,315 

Dried  fruit 15,222,172 

Barlev 10,829..-i60 

Canned  fish 4,956,453 

Milk  and  butter 4,1 18.246 

Flour  and  rice    3,661 ,948 

Asparagus  and  beans . .  1 ,805.333 


Total $57,667,827 

Prunes  supplied  about  half  of  the 
dried  fruit  shipments:  raisins  about 
one-fifth,  and  apricots,  apples  and 
peaches  the  rest,  in  the  order  named. 
It  is  interesting,  too,  to  ob.serve, 
that  the  shipment  of  §7,500.000  in 
prunes  from  this  port  constituted 
just  half  of  the  year's  prune  crop  in 
California,  while  the  raisin  ship- 
ments of  §3,175,000  was  only  about 
one-fifth  of  the  annual  production. 
So,  too,  the  California  peach  crop  in 
1924  was  valued  at  811,200.000, 
while  only  a  dab  of  this  succulent 
fruit,  namelj'  .S363,000  worth,  passed 
out  through  this  port,  and  as  for 
beans,  the  port  shipment  was  $341,- 
000,  while  the  crop  that  year  brought 
the  Cahfornia  bean  growers  -Sll,- 
721,000.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
whole  barlev  crop  for  1924  was 
valued  at  §11,693,000,  while  the 
exports  from  this  port  alone  were 
over  810,000,000! 

These  figures  show  the  need  of 
some  interpretation.  It  does  not 
follow,  of  course,  that  a  crop  is 
shipped  away  the  same  year  it  is 
raised.  With  grain  this  is  more  true 
than  with  fruit.  The  production 
varies  rather  widely  from  year  to 
year  in  some  of  these  crops,  and 
these  facts  must  be  taken  into  con- 
sideration when  we  attempt  to  fit 
port  shipments  to  total  crop  produc- 
tion. For  the  year  1923,  for  instance, 
the  barley  crop  was  valued  at  §23,- 
000,000,  and  it  is  more  than  probable 
that  a  lot  of  the  1923  crop  figured  in 
the  1924  customs'  reports. 

In  order  to  show  more  fullv  what 


is  back  of  the  food  product  ship- 
ments, which  make  up  so  large  a 
part  of  the  sea-borne  exports  of  San 
Francisco,  we  give  the  following 
table  showing  the  fifteen  highest 
farm  crops  for  two  years:

13  Apples 8,991,000 

14  Pears 8,778,000 

15  Sugar  beets 7.826,000 

These  figures  represent  the  farm 
value  of  these  crops  and  are  taken 
from  the  report  of  the  California 
Cooperative  Crop  Reporting  Serv- 
ice. Some  of  the  fruit,  such  as  the 
raisins,  prunes  and  peaches,  goes 
from  the  farm  not  directly  to  mar- 
ket, but  to  the  canning  or  processing 
plants  where  the  article  goes  through 
some  sort  of  a  manufacturing  proc- 
ess, and  adds  considerably  to  its 
value. 

In  short,  we  have  here  certain 
items  of  raw  materials  that  Cali- 
fornia produces  in  such  vast  quanti- 
ties, and  the  possession  of  which  is 
so  large  and  vital  a  factor  in  its 
economic  scheme. 

The  Goods  of  Commerce 

The  farms,  the  forests,  the  mines 
and  oil  wells,  the  rivers  and  ocean, 
where  fish  are  caught,  all  contribute 
their  share  of  the  raw  materials, 
which  in  their  native  state,  or  in 
some  manufactured  form,  make  up 
the  goods  of  commerce.  The  greater 
part,  by  far,  reach  the  markets  by 
means    of   railroad   transportation. 


'ontinued  from  page  ij 

The  extent  to  which  these  farm 
products  contribute  to  San  Fran- 
cisco's sea-borne  commerce  has  al- 
ready been  shown. 

From  the  production  of  raw  ma- 
terials, the  trail  leads  us  directly  to 
the  industrial  plants. 

Before  we  follow  it,  however,  it 
would  be  helpful  to  make  a  brief 
survey  of  the  sources  of  raw  materi- 
als, wherewith  California  is  so  richly 
supplied.  The  following  table  gives 
the  production  in  value  of  the  four 
chief  groups  of  raw  material  pro- 
ducers for  the  year  1924 : 

CussincATioN  Value 

Farm  crops $420,000,000 

Mineral  products  . . .  358.000.000 

Forest  products 50.000,000 

Fisheries 10,000,000 


Total $838,000,000 

These  figures  are  based  partly  on 
accurate  reports  taken  by  Govern- 
ment agencies,  and  partly  on  esti- 
mates, but  are  accurate  enough  to 
present  a  working  basis  for  the  more 
refined  statistics  that  are  to  follow. 

A  Titanic  Creative  Effort . 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  the 
production  of  these  raw  materials, 
which  form  the  true  basis  of  Cah- 
fornia's  wealth,  there  were  engaged 
approximately  one-half  of  the  popu- 
lation of  the  state,  and  about  one- 
half  of  the  invested  capital.  Bv  an 
effort  of  the  imagination  one  can  at 
least  vaguely  \Tsualize  the  scope  of 
this  titanic  creative  effort,  engaging 
the  dailj'  labor  of  perhaps  a  milhon 
people,  and  spread  over  the  entire 
area  of  the  state  of  more  than  100,- 
000,000  acres  of  land,  and  the  waters 
adjacent  thereto.  In  its  technical 
skill,  in  the  intelligence  of  its  direc- 
tion, and  in  its  equipment  and 
mechanical  aids,  it  is  without  ques- 
tion the  most  advanced  and  the  best 
trained  industrial  armj-  ever  mobil- 
ized in  the  historj*  of  the  world. 

Of  this  huge  mountain  of  materials, 
the  industrial  estabhshments  in 
Cahfornia  absorbed  in  1923,  a 
quantitv  valued  by  the  census 
bureau  at  §1,285,000,000. 

There  were  9,228  establishments 
employing  246,000  workers,  to  whom 
was  paid  in  wages  8353,000,000. 
Their  total  output  had  a  value  of 
82,216,000,000. 

This  value  is  almost  three  times 
that  of  the  value  of  the  raw  materials 
produced  in  1924,  and  if  we  assume, 
as  it  would  certainly  be  safe  to  do,

ucts of  San  Fran- 
cisco's metropolitan 
area  (five  bay  coun- 
ties) was  ^1,379,-

This  was  49  per

T\/rANUFACTURES 
iVX  of  a  wide  vari- 
ety have  been  of  eco- 
nomic   importance    in 
San  Francisco  since  tlie 
middle  sixties,  at  which 
time   the   city    became 
the  mother    of    Cahfornia's  in- 
dustries.  Since  that  very  early 
period    the    industrial    wealth 
created   here   has   been  a    steadily 
growing   factor  in    the    upbuilding 
not   only  of  San  Francisco  but  of 
California. 

For  the  state  as  a  whole  the  an- 
nual wealth  produced  by  manufac- 
tures, including,  of  course,  the  cost 
of  the  raw  materials,  now  e.xceeds 
three  billion  dollars.  Of  this  huge 
mountain  of  commodities,  the  con- 
tribution made  by  San  Francisco 
alone  amounts  to  something  more 
than  half  a  billion  dollars,  which  is 
roughly  one-fifth  of  the  production 
of  the  state.  The  estimated  value  of 
San  Francisco's  production  for  last 
year  is  S529, 000,000,  which  is  within 
about  $60,000,000  of  the  total  out- 
put of  the  state  of  Oregon. 

There  is  in  fact  a  very  significant 
story  to  be  read  in  the  latest  tabu- 
lations made  pubhc  by  the  United 


ployment  of  capital  in  the  manu- 
facture of  goods,  and  in  the  develop- 
ment of  markets,  of  domestic  and 
foreign  trade,  and  all  those  things 
which  come  with  an  industrial  civili- 
zation. 

Agriculture,  mining,  lumbering 
and  fishing,  while  they  must  always 
remain  of  basic  importance,  will  be- 
come more  and  more  closely  fabri- 
cated with  the  industrial  life  of  the 
commonwealth,  for  which  they  sup- 
ply so  many  of  the  basic  raw 
materials,  and  will  lose  more  and 
more  that  economic  independence 
which  has  been  so  large  a  factor  in 
the  life  of  the  people  here  for  the 
past  three-quarters  of  a  century. 

In  fixing  San  Francisco's  indus- 
trial rank  on  the  coast  it  would  be 
altogether  deceptive  to  rely  upon 
poUtical  boundaries,  and  to  ignore 
the  natural  economic  unit  which  the 
Census  Bureau  employs  under  the 
name  of  the  San  Francisco  metro- 
political  area.    A  sugar  factory  at 
Crockett,  for  instance,  that  is  man- 
aged from  offices  located  here,  and 
financed  by  San  Francisco  capital, 
is  almost  as  much  a  San  Francisco 
plant  as  though  it  were  located 
'\       out  in  the  Potrero  district.   An

\       tied  into  the   San

SAN  FRANCISCO  BISINESS.  APRIL  14,  1926 


The  Wealth  of  San  Francisco— Continued  from  page  i6 


that  for  tlip  previous  year  the  value 
of  raw  materials  was  no  larger,  we 
have  an  interesting  gauge  for  meas- 
uring the  rapid  rise  in  the  great 
stream  of  wealth  as  it  flows  from  its 
source  in  the  fields,  the  mines  and 
the  forests  down  through  the  indus- 
trial districts  of  the  cities  and  out  to 
the  sea  of  hungry  consumers. 

The  Mother  of  Industries 

San  Francisco  was,  of  course,  the 
mother  of  California  industries.  It 
was  here  that  the  first  plants  were 
built  of  the  ten  thousand  that  now 
operate  in  the  state. 

The  peculiar  problems  of  the  Cali- 
fornia farms,  mines,  lumber  camps 
and  even  fisheries  demanded  appli- 
ances unknown  elsewhere  and  not  to 
be  had  in  any  market,  with  the  result 
that  many  new  inventions  were 
worked  out  in  San  Francisco  shops. 
Thus  came  the  gang  plows,  the  com- 
bined reaper  and  harvester,  the 
tractor,  the  deep  mine  pumps,  the 
machinery  for  sawing  the  huge  red- 
wood logs,  that  are  still  the  marvels 
of  the  mechanical  world.  But  other 
countries,  notably  South  America, 
have  had  extensive  use  for  some  of 
these  machines  and  devices,  as  have 
many  western  states,  and  thus  neces- 
sity mothered  not  only  industrial 
production,  but  commerce  for  this 
port. 

Began  in  the  Sixties 

The  industrial  activities  l>egan  on 
what  may  be  termed  the  commercial 
scale  here  in  the  middle  sixties,  with 
iron  works  (foundries  they  were 
called),  tex-tile  mills,  chemical  plants, 
glass  works,  and  ship  yards  as  the 
leaders.  Today  the  number  of  plants 
is  given  in  the  Government's  census 
— always  at  least  a  couple  of  years 
behind — as  2,090,  the  number  of 
workers  employed  as  43,638,  the 
annual  pajToU  861,376,000  and  the 
value  of  the  annual  output  in  goods 
as  §416,000,000. 

This  sum  is  very  near  one-fifth  of 
the  industrial  production  of  the 
state,  using  that  term  specifically  as 
referring  to  goods  produced  in  in- 
dustrial plants  or  factories,  in  short, 
manufactured. 

The  foremost  industrial  acti\-ity, 
if  we  accept  the  classification  of  the 
census  bureau,  is  the  roasting  and 
grinding  of  spices.  In  1923  there 
were  20  plants  engaged  therein,  with 
478  employees,  and  the  annual  out- 
put had  a  value  of  823,000,000. 

On  the  basis  of  annual  product 
value,  the  following  are  San  Fran- 
cisco's leading  industries :

to  the  first  item  in  the  table,  the 
coffee  and  spice  mills  and  roasteries. 
The  raw  materials  required  for  the 
1923  operations  were  valued  at 
817,800,000,  all  brought  here  in 
ships,  and  gathered  up  in  many 
different  countries.  South  and  Cen- 
tral America,  the  Orient,  Malay 
Peninsula  and  Islands,  South  Sea 
Islands — all  contributed  valuable 
and  necessarj-  materials  to  these 
twenty  plants  in  San  Francisco.  The 
raw  materials  made  cargo  for  in- 
coming vessels;  the  finished  product 
was  distributed  widely  over  this 
state  and  others. 

Xow  if  we  turn  again  to  the  tabu- 
lations of  the  Customs  House  under 


ing  districts  what  becomes  of  most 
of  these  imports.  Like  the  raw  ma- 
terials from  our  own  farms,  mines 
and  forests,  they  but  feed  the  great 
stream  of  wealth  as  it  moves  toward 
the  industries,  and  thus  add  their 
notable  contribution  to  the  wealth 
created  here  and  the  well-being  of 
the  city's  population. 

That  well-being  is  contributed  to 
in  many  ways.  Thus,  if  we  study 
only  the  forty-five  special  industries 
which  make  up  the  Census  Bureau's 
selected  list  for  San  Francisco,  we 
find  these  illuminating  facts: 

For  the  vear  1923,  their  total  out- 
put in  value  was  8263,000,000.

The  Meeting  of  the  Waters 


11 


■'A  thing  of  beauty  is  a  joy  forever; 
Its  loveliness  increases;  it  will  never 
Pass  into  nothingness." 


OURLSTS  in  ever-increasing  numbers  visit  the  Water  Temple 
in  beautiful  Sunol  Valley  of  Alameda  County,  California. 
Here,  amid  surroundings  of  natural  loveliness  and  architec- 
tural dignity,  may  be  witnessed  "the  meeting  of  the  waters." 
(( In  the  crypt  of  this  Corinthian  temple  the  crystal-pure 
supplies  from  the  Calaveras  Reservoir,  the  Livermore  Valley  wells  and 
the  Sunol  infiltration  galleries  of  Spring  Valley  Water  Company  mingle 
their  life-giving  streams  and  start  on  the  long  flow  down  Niles  Canyon, 
across  San  Francisco  Bay  and  up  the  San  Mateo  peninsula  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. On  the  peninsula  these  Alameda  waters  are  united  to  the  supply 
drawn  from  the  San  Mateo  County  watershed.  C[The  Water  Temple  is 
the  symbol  of  a  metropolitan  supply  developed  to  its  present  proportions 
on  broad  lines  laid  down  sixty-five  years  ago  by  men  who 
foresaw  the  greatness  of  San  Francisco

fact  that  the  products  pass  in  and 
out  of  this  port,  make  cargoes  for 
ships  or  railroads  having  their  ter- 
minus here,  and  that  the  trade 
currents  fed  by  these  plants,  re- 
gardless of  where  they  are  located 
on  the  bay  shore,  run  directly  in 
and  out  of  this  city. 

On  the  basis  of  the  San  Francisco 
metropolitan  area,  which  embraces 
the  five  bay  counties  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, Alameda,  San  Mateo,  Marin 
and  Contra  Costa,  the  value  of  the 
manufactured  products  for  1925 
(estimated)  was  81,379,000,000,  or 
49  per  cent  of  the  total  products  of 
the  state.  This  output  is  very  close 
to  the  total  value  of  the  products  of 
both  Washington  and  Oregon.  In 
the  bay  area  are  now  listed  2,954 
industrial  plants  giving  employment 
to  133,000  workers,  and  distributing 
last  year  in  wages  .1199,000,000. 
The  cost  of  materials  used  by  these 
plants  was  $765,000,000,  and  the 
value  which  they  added  by  the  proc- 
ess of  manufacture  was  $514,000,- 
000. 

The  Census  Bureau  now  takes  the 
census  on  manufactures  every  two 
years,  and  the  tabulations  for  the 
year  1925  (now  in  progress)  will  be- 
come available  early  next  year.  The 
estimates  for  1925  herein  u.sed  were 
arrived  at  by  the  method  employed 
for  such  purpose  by  the  Census 
Bureau,  and  may  be  considefed  as 
conservative,  for  they  merely  assume 
that  the  rate  of  increase  existing 
prior  to  1925  has  continued  through 
that  year.  Undoubtedly,  the  most 
startling  fact  revealed  by  this  1925 
estimated  output,  is  the  stride  at 
which  industrial  California  is  forg- 
ing ahead.   Note  these  two  sums: 

VALUE  OF  MANUF.iCTURED

1919— Total  California 

Product $1,981,20.5,000 

1925— Total  for  San  Fran- 
cisco area  alone. .  .   1,379,414,000 

Were  we  to  post  ourselves  on  the 
summit  of  Telegraph  Hill  it  would 
be  possible  on  a  clear  day  to  actually 
see  if  not  the  plants  themselves,  at 
least  the  sites  they  occupy  along  the 
littoral  of  the  bay.  From  North 
Beach  to  the  Potrero,  from  Alameda 
to  Richmond,  from  Sausalito  to  San 
Rafael,  would  be  visible  the  tall 
chimneys  of  the  gleaming  roofs  of 
hundreds  of  these  establishments, 
from  which  year  in  and  year  out, 
flows  this  vast  stream  of  wealth,  and 
if  the  trip  were  deferred  until  after 
nightfall,  one  could  pick  up  the 
gleam  of  their  lights.  Here  are  the 
foundries,  the  mills,  the  shops  where 


the  workers  have  employment,  and 
the  economic  bones  and  sinews  of  a 
great  industrial  community  are 
being  built. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in 
San  Francisco  the  leading  industrial 
pursuit  as  measured  by  value  of 
products  is  that  of  printing  and  pub- 
lishing. For  the  year  1923,  this 
single  industry  produced  $31,000,- 
000,  with  coffee  and  spice  roasting 
and  grinding  coming  second  with  a 
product  valued  at  $23,000,000. 

For  that  year  the  ten  leading  in- 
dustries for  this  city  were  as  follows : 


Products  Value  of  Products 

Printing  (all  kinds) $31,000,000

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  APRIL  14,  192B 


Shipping  and  Foreign  Trade 


[IN  TPIE  volume  and 
value  of  its  commerce, 
the  Harbor  of  San  Fran- 
cisco rates  as  the  un- 
challenged premier  of 
the  Pacific  Coast.  In  fact  it  stands 
second  in  the  United  States,  out- 
ranked only  by  the  Port  of  New 
York,  and  during  1925  led  such  well- 
known  rivals  as  Philadelphia,  Los 
Angeles,  Baltimore  and  New  Orleans 
by  a  wide  margin. 

For  statistical  purposes  this  water- 
borne  commerce  is  divided  into  two 
classes;  foreign  trade  and  domestic 
trade.  The  latter  includes  inter- 
coastal  as  weU  as  the  river  com- 
merce, in  both  of  which  the  Bay  of 
San  Francisco  is  very  rich. 

In  the  foreign  trade  the  port  con- 
tinued its  forward  progress,  both 
exports  and  imports  making  a  steady 
advance,  the  total  increase  over  1924 
being  roundly  $60,000,000.  For  the 
year  1925,  the  total  foreign  trade  of 
the  San  Francisco  customs  district 
was  $380,000,000,  as  against  $319,- 
000,000  for  1924. 

$2,000,000,000  in  1925 

In  cargo  value  the  entire  shipping 
business  of  the  bay,  which  is  the 
unit  for  San  Francisco,  in  1925 
probably  passed  the  two  bUlion 
dollar  mark,  though  the  exact  figures 
are  not  yet  available.  In  the  1925 
report  of  the  Board  of  Army  Engi- 
neers for  Rivers  and  Harbors,  the 
value  of  the  harbor's  1924  commerce 
is  given  as  $1,832,000,000. 

The  nearest  competitor,  Phila- 
delphia, in  the  same  period  had  a 
commerce  of  $1,024,000,000,  whUe 
the  total  commerce  of  the  Los  Ange- 
les district  was  $611,000,000,  about 
one-third  that  of  San  Francisco. 

Los  Angeles,  on  the  other  hand, 
has  an  unusually  high  tonnage  com- 
pared to  the  value  of  the  cargoes, 
that  for  1924  being  22,000,000  as 
compared  to  28,000,000  tons  for  San 
Francisco.  The  explanation  is  to  be 
found  in  the  type  of  commodities 
carried,  Los  Angeles  going  largely  to 
lumber  and  oil,  weighty  cargoes  for 
the  value  of  the  goods,  while  San 
Francisco's  commerce  runs  more  to 
food  stuffs  and  general  merchandise. 
The  relationship  is  readily  shown  in 
the  report  of  the  Government  engi- 
neers, where  the  San  Francisco  value 
per  ton  of  cargo  is  recorded  as  $63.47 
as  compared  to  $27.51  per  ton  in  Los 
Angeles. 


In  Seattle,  where  the  tonnage  for 
the  year  amounted  to  only  7,000,000, 
the  value  was  $87.30  per  ton,  thus 
giving  that  port  a  higher  total  com- 
merce in  value  than  that  of  Los 
Angeles,  though  the  volume  handled 


was  less  than  one-third  in  Seattle. 
The  following  table  shows  the  true 
position  of  San  Francisco  in  the 
shipping  world,  being  second  among 
the  twelve  leading  harbors  of  the 
United  States:

In  its  foreign  trade  the  leading 
factors  continued  to  be  for  1925,  as 
for  some  years  past,  the  export  of 
prepared  food  products,  chiefly  dried 
and  canned  fruit  and  vegetables, 
with  grain,  notably  barley,  as  a  big 
item,  and  in  imports  raw  sUk  from 
Japan  and  coffee  from  various  coffee- 
producing  countries. 

The  food  product  exports  for  the 
year  exceeded  $60,000,000,  out  of  a 
total  export  of  $183,000,000,  and  of 


the  imports,  silk  and  coffee  made  up 
more  than  $102,000,000  of  the  total 
imports  of  $197,000,000.  The  follow- 
ing tables  show  the  value  of  the 
port's  foreign  trade,  and  the  steady 
increase  in  this  traffic  since  the  big 
slump  of  1920  due  to  the  great  world 
break  which  followed  the  end  of  the 
war:

SHIPPING  AND 
FOREIGN  TRADE 

1  cootinued  from  preceding  page  ) 

The  commodities  making  up  the 
exports  in  San  Francisco's  foreign 
trade  are  aknost  entirely  of  Califor- 
nian  origin,  and  reveal  verj'  pointedly 
the  relationship  between  the  city's 
foreign  trade  and  its  chief  support- 
ing industries,  including  of  course 
such  a-s  are  engaged  in  the  produc- 
tion of  the  raw  materials,  namely, 
the  farms,  the  mines,  the  forests  and 
the  fisheries.  Another  notable  fea- 
ture of  this  trade  is  to  be  found  in  the 
fact  that  for  the  most  part  the  com- 
modities going  into  export  are  of  the 
manufactured  classes.  The  excep- 
tions worth  noting  are  grain,  chiefly 
barley,  raw  cotton  in  the  bale,  lead 
in  refined  pigs,  leaf  tobacco,  and 
some  oranges  and  lemons. 

All  of  the  fruit,  both  dried  and 
canned,  goes  through  some  sort  of 
processing  or  packing  before  it  is 
shipped,  and  has  considerable  value 
added  through  the  manufacturing 
process.  The  same  is  true  of  course 
of  the  large  shipments  of  salmon  and 
sardines,  asparagus  and  other  pre- 
pared food  products.  The  adjoining 
table  prepared  by  the  Customs  Serv- 
ice shows  the  principal  commodities 
exported  during  1925  from  this  port. 

Silk,  Coffee  and  Copra 

Raw  silk,  coffee  and  copra  are  the 
three  chief  articles  of  imports,  and  in 
1925  aggregated  in  value  S124,000,- 
000,  out  of  a  total  import  of  §197,- 
000,000.  In  imports  as  in  exports 
the  precious  metal  shipments,  though 
listed  for  reference  purposes,  are  not 
included  in  the  total  value  of  the 


Markets  and  Commodities 

Markets  and  commodities  remain 
two  of  the  ruling  factors  in  foreign 
commerce,  and  it  is  difficult  even  in 
this  age  of  modern  trade  technique 
to  say  positively  which  is  the  more 
important.  In  1913,  only  13  years 
ago,  the  exports  from  this  port 
amounted  to  §64,000,000,  just  about 
one-third  of  the  1925  business. 
Obviously,  a  great  many  new  mar- 
kets have  since  then  been  opened 
up,  but  also  there  has  been  a 
tremendous  change  in  the  second 
factor,  namely,  commodities  avail- 
able for  export. 

In  1913  there  were  only  eight 
conmiodities  shipped  from  this  port 
the  value  of  which  exceeded  for  the 
year  the  one  million  doUar  mark.  In

SHIPPING  AND  FOREIGN  TRADE 


Since  canned  and  dried  fruit  make 
up  tlie  largest  items  in  the  port's 
export  trade,  and  items  tliat  are  in- 
creasing steadily,  ami  because  of  the 
further  fact  that  they  are  above  all 
others  specialized  products  of  the 
soil  and  civilization  of  California, 
there  has  been  a  growing  interest  in 
this  phase  of  the  city's  commerce. 
The  markets  arc  capable  of  unlimited 
expansion,  and  the  difficulties  which 
retard  this  expansion  are  not  .so 
much  of  the  competitive  nature, 
which  is  the  case  with  many  other 
products,  but  of  an  educational 
nature  involving  such  psychic  prob- 
lems as  habituation  and  dietary 
habits  of  the  people. 

China,  with  a  population  of  more 
than  400,000,000  people,  last  year 
took  only  §27,000  worth  of  Califor- 
nia prunes,  indicating,  plainly,  that

the  Chinese  have  not  acquired  the 
habit  of  eating  prunes.  Japan,  one  of 
our  best  customers  in  certain  lines, 
takes  very  meager  quantities  of  Cali- 
fornia fruit,  either  canned  or  dried. 
Nearly  half  the  dried  apples  shipped 
out  from  here  last  year  were  taken 
by  the  Dutch  people,  while  the 
British  were  the  best  customers  for 
raisins,   the   French   the   best   cus- 


tomers for  prunes,  Germany  and 
The  Netherlands  the  best  for  dried 
apricots,  and  the  British  people  for 
dried  peaches. 

The  following  interesting  and 
valuable  tables  prepared  by  Mr.  J. 
H.  Farrell,  of  the  Bureau  of  Foreign 
Commerce,  covering  ten  fruit  com- 
modities, show  in  detail  where  these 
goods  are  sold:

k^  S  ***^  *^"'  entire  membership  in  the  Board  of  Directors,  is  more  important  than  the  "Key  Man" 
r  \  -  organization.  This  comprises  one  hundred  and  eighty  active  workers,  each  representing  one 
L  of  an  e<iual  number  of  important  business  or  industrial  groups.  This  is  the  machinery  through 

which  the  membership  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  are  assured  the  greatest  service  in  the 
solution  of  their  numerous  pr()l)lems.  Individual  members  requiring  a  service  communicate  their  problems 
to  the  key  men  of  their  respective  groups,  who  in  turn  present  them  to  the  Board  of  Directors.  This 
system  of  direct  representation  has  definitely  increased  the  usefulness  of  the  Chamber  to  its  thousands  of 
members,  and  is  already  productive  of  results.   The  key  men  and  the  groups  they  repiesent,  follow:

Containers 

Solid  fahre  and  corrugated  containers 
are  rapidly  replacing  wooden  cases  due 
to  many  points  of  proven  superiority. 

These  containers  come  to  you  knocked 
down  and  require  a  minimum  of  storage 
space.  They  are  easier  and  cheaper  to 
pack,  seal  and  handle.  When  packed 
occupy  less  space.  Vermin,  dust,  pilfer 
and  weather  proof. 

Their  smooth  printing  surfaces  otfer 
greater  opportunity  for  attention- 
compelling  advertising.  These  light 
cases  show  a  marked  saving  in  freight 
charges. 

One  of  our  packing  engineers  would  be 
pleased  to  discuss  with  you  the  subject 
of  fibre  and  corrugated  containers 
especially  designed  to  carry  your 
products.

Uniformly  High  Grade 
Burned  Clay  Products 


THE  DICKEY  PLANTS  are  devoted  to  the  pro- 
duction of  high  grade  burned  clay  products  under 
a  system  of  scientific  control  that  affords  a  high 
degree  of  uniformity. 

There  is  a  difference  in  burned  clay  products — let  the 
name  "Dickey"  be  your  guide  to  those  of  thorough 
reliability. 

DICKEY  MASTERTILE  WALLS 
DEFY  FIRE,  TIME,  AND  WEATHER 

Dickey  Mastertile  are  standard  hollow  building  tile 
that  not  merely  equal,  but  far  surpass,  the  high  stand- 
ards of  strength  and  quality  set  by  the  Hollow  Tile 
Association. 

They  are  made  of  hard-bumed  clay,  man's  most  last- 
ing and  fire-proof  building  materiaL  but,  unlike  other 
clay  pnxiucts,  have  air  cells  that  decrease  their  weight 
and  provide  insulation  against  heat,  cold  and  moisture. 

Dickey  Mastertile  walls  are  approximately  half  the 
weight  of  solid  masonry  or  concrete  walls,  but,  never- 
theless, have  ample  strength,  an  average  tile  being 
capable  of  withstanding  pressure  more  than  4,000  times 
greater  than  its  own  weight. 

An  eight-inch  Dickey  Mastertile  takes  the  place  of 
six  brick  in  the  wall.  This  makes  possible  a  saving  of 
I  3  to  1,  2  the  labor  and  1/2  the  mortar  in  setting  up 
the  waU. 

Dickey  Mastertile  are  being  used  with  ever-increas- 
ing frequency  in  the  construction  of  schools,  hospitals, 
hotels,  apartment  houses,  office  buildings,  garages, 
stores,  factories,  warehouses,  lumber  dry  kilns  and  fruit 
evaporators,  as  well  as  homes. 

DICKEY  PARTITION  TILE  ARE 
MOISTURE-,  SOUND-,  AND  FIRE-PROOF 

When  you  plan  partitions  for  a  building,  make  sure 
that  they  will  be  fire-proof,  sound-proof,  and  moisture- 
proof  and  have  ample  strength. 

The  partition  that  affords  all  these  advantages  is  that 
of  Dickey  Partition  Tile. 

A  list  of  buildings  with  Dickey  Tile  partitions  would 
include  practically  every  great  structure  recently 
erected  in  Central  California. 


DICKEY  FURRING  TILE 

for  moisture-proofing  the  interiors  of  solid   masonr>', 
concrete  and  stone  buildings. 


DICKEY  FACE  BRICK  ARE 
OF  EVERL.VSTING  BEAUTY 

The  rich  and  distinctive  tones  and  textures  of  Dickey 
Face  Brick  represent  a  high  development  of  the  art  and 
science  of  clay  burning. 

The  well  planned  structure  of  face  brick  has  a  charm 
and  beauty  that  cannot  be  equalled  by  less  colorful 
materials.  And  this  charm  and  beauty  are  more  than 
"paint  deep";  they  last  through  the  years — mellowed, 
not  defaced,  by  time  and  weather. 

Dickey  Face  Brick  are  used  as  a  veneer  over  frame, 
concrete,  solid  masonry,  or  Dickey  Mastertile,  the 
latter  the  most  economical  and  satisfactory  backing  for 
face  brick. 

DICKEY  NEW  STEP  AND 
WALK  BRICK 

are  true  to  size  and  shape,  finely  finished,  and  in  a  series 
of  particularly  rich,  dark  reds.  Very  hard  burned  (semi- 
vitrified),  they  are  yet  so  well  tempered  that  they  cut 
easily  and  perfectly  for  fancy  brick  work.  Their  size 
makes  them  ideal  for  herringbone  and  basket  weave 
patterns. 

DICKEY  LIVER.MORE  FIRE  BRICK- 
UNEQUALLED  IN  THE  WEST 

The  bases  of  Dickey  Fire  Brick  are  certain  fire  clays, 
mined  and  used  exclusively  by  this  company  and  which 
are  the  most  refractory  clays  yet  discovered  in  the 
state. 

These  unequalled  clays,  plus  scientifically  developed 
methods  of  mixing  and  burning,  have  raised  Dickey 
Fire  Brick  to  a  standard,  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge, 
never  before  attained  by  a  Pacific  Coast  brick. 

In  five  grades,  made  for  the  various  types  of  heat 
duty.  Standardized  shapes  are  carried  in  stock;  special 
shapes  and  sizes  are  made  to  order. 

Dickey  "Special  Mix"  Fire  Clays  and  "High 
Temperature  Cement"  are  recommended  for  use  with 
Dickey  Fire  Brick.

The  Fairy  Isles  of  Captain  Cook 


ca2E  is  the  God  Lono,"said  the  Ha- 
waiians  when  Captain  Cook  landed 
on  their  islands  in  1778.  A  temple 
was  built  to  him  —  luscious  tropickl 
fruits  that  no  Englishman  ha^  erpr 
tasted  before  were  served  him— run-  , 
ners  from  distant  isles  brought  him  the 
gifts  and  homage  of  kings.     "^ 

Today  Hawaii  is  the  same  "en«rald  • 
set  in  a  sapphire  sea."  Green  palms  . 
still  fringe  the  blue  ocean.  The  surf  ■ 
still  breaks  white  on  the  coral  sands.  ■* 
Bronzed  natives  still  ride  the  satf^  "• 
Hawaii  is  still  the  land  of  poigiVant 
music  and  of  exquisite  hospitality.  ^ 
Hawaii  is  easily  within  your  reach." 
Every  week  perfectly  appointed 


Matson  liners  leave  for  the  Islands  on 
an  admirably  planned  tour  lasting 
twenty-one  days.  Twelve  to  fourteen 
marvelous  days  at  sea !  Eight  days  of 
ever-increasing  wonder,  pleasure  and 
admiration.  Three  weeks  of  vacation 
incomparable. 

Everything  has  been  attended  to  for 
you.  Everything  is  included  in  the 
oripXil  cosf  af  each  tour— about  §270. 

Your  i^orries  stop  the  moment  you 
step  on  board  rhe  liner,  and  until  you 
step  off  again,  your  lime  is  occupied 
writh  the  tang  of  sea  air,  the  peaceful, 
infinite  calmness  of  the  ocean  —  en- 
chanting days  of  companionship  and 
interest.

THERE'S  GOLD  IN  THE  VALLEY - 

AS  WELL  AS  IN  THE  HILLS 

California's  pioneers  assaulted  the  hills  iov  gold — and  founded  a  State. 

California's  Dairy  Industry  has  won  from  the  soil  of  the  valleys  more  wealth  than  all  the  gold  of 
the  hills — and  builded  a  commonwealth. 

The  Golden  State  Milk  Products  Company  has  been  a  leader  in  this  great  development  of  the 
Dairy  Industry — an  industry  which  returns  more  than  $125,000,000  in  material  wealth  annually. 
The  Golden  State  Milk  Products  Company  has  its  head  office  in  San  Francisco. 
It  has  23  factories  throughout  California  and  sales  branches  inevery  population  center. 
Behind  the  operations  of  Golden  State  Milk  Products  Company  are  thousands  of 

dairy  farms. 
The  dairy  farms  and  the  factories  in  California  which  handle  the  product  represent  an 

investment  of  more  than  850,000,000. 
Sales  branches  of  Golden  State  are  established  in  every  major  city  of  America. 
Products  from  its  plants,  transformed  into  articles  of  commerce,  are  exported  from 
the  harbor  of  San  Francisco  to  38  foreign  countries  of  South  America,  Asia,  Europe, 
and  the  islands  of  the  Pacific. 
Aside  from  Golden  State  Butter,  which  is  most  widely  known,  the  Golden  State  Milk  Products 
Company  manufactures  cheese,  skim  milk  powder,  casein,  Kayso,  and  is  the  largest  distributor  of 
sweet  cream  on  the  Pacific  Slope. 

But  this  leadership  in  the  (iairy  industry  of  the  Pacific  was  attained  not  only  by  volume.    It  was 
built  upon  the  theme — "Leadership  Can  Be  By  QUALITY  Alone."

^^^@)LIP  BEH IND  the  scenes  with  us  a  minute 
'.  '  at  LoTHERS  is"  Young  Studios.  See  how 
"~  It's  done.  Notice  the  man  holding  the 
iffitSSiXi^'  string,  which  pulls  the  model's  necktie. 
Looks  silly,  doesn't  it?  Yet  it  isn't.  When  Californians, 
used  this  photographic  illustration  in  a  Saturday  Evening 
Post  advertisement,  it  showed  a  man  and  his  "son"  growing 
strong  and  living  happily  in  the  warming  sunshine  and 
invigorating  ocean  breezes  of  California.  And  there  was  the 
man  s  necktie  waving — to  prove  that  the  wind  was  blowing. 
It  is  in  just  such  ways  that  these  studios  put  life  and  action 
and  SALES  PUNCH  into  photographs.  Wall  beds  and  wash- 
ing machines — cook  stoves  and  canned  goods — automobiles 
and  adding  machines:  we've  created  dramatized  photographic 
illustrations  for  all  of  them — and  scores  of  others. 


We  have  yet  to  find  a  business  that  doesn't  need  photographs. 
One  of  the  most  interesting  quarter-hours  you  have  ever 
spent  will  be  the  one  you'll  have  going  over  the  bulging 
sample  case  of  the  representative  who  will  call  if  you  will 
phone  Garfield  5100.  He  won't  try  to  "sell"  you — you'll  sell 
yourself.  Telephone  tiotc.

A  Bul^rark  o£  Industry 

The  industrial  development  of  every  community 
depends,  in  the  final  analysis,  on  the  existence 
of  a  broad  and  continuous  market  for  the  secur- 
ities of  its  corporations.  Such  a  market,  ever  ex- 
tending its  scope  and  activities,  has  for  nearly 
half  a  century  been  provided  for 
the  Western  states  by

It  takes  in  all  three 

Associated  Gasoline  has  back  of  it  a  very 
definite  "idea"  of  manufacture:  its  dis- 
tinctive boiling-point  range,  a  smooth 
gradation  from  initial  to  end  points.  That 
is  the  technical  reason  for  Associated's 
distinctive  and  sustained  performance. 

When  you  use  Associated  you  get  an 
ideal  combination  of  these  three  results : 
[1]  satisfactory  quick-starting,  [2]  a  full 
stride  of  power,  [3}  mileage.  Associated 
GasoUne  is  always  associated  with  "more 
miies  to  the  gallon."

SAX  FKAXCISCO  BUSINESS,  APRIL  14,  1926 


OUR  PORT 


By  WILLIAM  A.  SHERMAN 

President  Board  of  Slate  Harbor  Commissioners 


HE  Port  of  San  Francisco 
is   the    industrial   and 
commercial  center  of  the 
Pacific  Ocean.    It  is  the 
great  American  hub  of 
trade  on  the  Pacific,  and,  in  direct 
proportion  as  the 
development    of 
this   coast   has 
unfolded,  so  have 
the    faciUties    of 
this  great  harbor 
been     developed 
to  meet  without 
stint   every   re- 
quirement. 

The  Port  of 
San  Francisco 
serves  a  greatly 
diversified  area. 
This  may  be  best 
visualized  when 
we  realize  that 
this  service  includes  all  of  Northern 
and  Central  Cahfornia  (which  com- 
prises three-fourths  of  the  State), 
all  of  Nevada  and,  when  San  Fran- 
cisco's association  with  the  Orient 
and  overseas  Pacific  ports  are  con- 
sidered, the  entire  country. 

This  is  the  only  combined  river 
and  bay  port  on  the  Pacific.  Two 
giant  rivers  tap  the  inland  empire 
(which  is  larger  than  all  the  states  of 
New  England)  and  San  Francisco 
Bay  is  the  only  outlet  for  this  vast 
territory.  This  is  not  only  the 
"Gateway  to  the  Orient"  but  also 
to  these  rich  interior  valleys  which 
hold  the  bulk  of  the  wealth  of  the 
State  of  California. 

Best  of  all,  there  is  a  deal  of 
stability  enjoyed  by  the  Port  of  San 
Francisco  not  shared  by  any  other 
shipping  center  on  this  coast.  This 
is  due  to  the  diversified  cargoes  re- 
ceived and  sent  forth  and,  also,  to 
the  huge  tonnage  of  freight  that 
either  originates  near  the  very  side 
of  the  ship  or  else  is  received  for 
processing  preliminary  to  the  ulti- 
mate shipment  to  the  customer  or 
consumer.  In  this  connection,  it  is 
significant  to  note  that  over  75  per 
cent  of  the  value  of  Seattle's  imports 
is  silk.  The  percentage  of  all  im- 
ports received  for  transshipment  is 
considerably  more.  More  than  80 
per  cent  of  the  exports  from  Los 
Angeles  consists  of  petroleum. 

San  Francisco  boasts  of  well- 
balanced  cargoes  including  canned 
fruits  and  vegetables,  dried  fruits, 
cotton,  leather,  autos,  minerals,

It  is  not  the  total  tonnage  alone

test  of  value  to  a  city  and  port.  The 
value  of  the  tonnage  handled  in  this 
port  is  second  only  to  that  of  New 
York,  and  each  year  the  total  value.

It  is  most  significant  that,  as  each 
anniversarj'  rolls  around,  a  greater 
percentage  of  the  ship  cargoes  sent 
forth  from  the  Port  of  San  Francisco 
consists  of  merchandise  and  products

San  Francisco's  Industrial  Advantages 

SEE  CHARTS  ON  PACES  135.  1.S5  AND  157  V-^ 


[IAN  FRANCISCO  most 
assureilly  may  be  proud 
of  her  premier  position 
in  Pacific  Coast  finance. 
Our  liarl)or  is  one  of  the 
finest  in  all  the  worltl,  and  the  trade 
which  courses  through  this  port  in- 
dicates dominion  over  the  Pacific, 
but,  great  as  this  is,  it  is  not  as  Ijasic 
as  industry-.  Our  greatest  assets  are 
finance  and  trade  plus  industry.  For 
instance,  if  all  the  green  coffee 
shipped  into  this  pt)rt  were  loaded 
on  trains  and  shijiped  East,  the  [jay- 
roll  of  longshoremen  and  train  crews 
would  be  all  the  monetary  value  the 
huge  importation  of  coffee  would 
have  for  San  Francisco. 

But  as  it  is.  the  coffee  that  comes 
in  is  intercepted  and  not  allowed  to 
move  eastward  until  it  is  prepared 
for  domestic  use.  This  is  industry 
and,  in  addition  to  the  longshore- 
men and  the  train  crews,  we  have 
the  payroll  of  a  much  greater  liody 
of  men  and  women — the  payroll  of 
the  coffee  industry. 

With  products  for  export  made 
here  in  San  Francisco,  and  a  large 
portion  of  imported  raw  materials 
stopping  here  to  be  fabricated  and 
sent  on  to  the  interior,  we  now  have 
the  additional  activity  that  means 
growth,  prosperity,  and  a  great 
community  future. 

We  have  abundant  acreage  of  the 
choicest  kind  for  immense  industrial 
growi^h.  From  the  Ferry  building, 
following  the  west  shore  of  the  Bay 
to  the  south  end,  we  have  forty-nine 
miles  of  the  finest  industrial  water- 
front   property   to   be   found   any- 


where. Nature  has  fa  von  d  this  side 
with  deep  water.  In  fact  the  only 
deep  water  channel  in  the  Bay  is  on 
the  west  side  and  follows  the  shore 
line  throughout  its  49-mile  length. 
(See  page  155.)  And  this  is  San 
Francisco's  territory,  its  logical  area 
for  growth.  Here  are  not  only  vast 
acres  for  industry  but  abundant 
space  and  exceptional  climate  for 
ideal  working  and  living  conditions. 

And  in  San  Francisco  [jroper  there 
are  still  many  locations  of  adequate 
acreage  for  large  or  small  plants. 

San  Francisco  has  greater  freight 
loadings,  by  far,  than  any  other  Bay 
point,  and  because  of  this  it  enjoys 
more  frequent  and  hence  faster 
freight  sen'ice. 

Again  San  Francisco,  as  is  shown 
on  the  adjoining  terminus  map, 
is  the  terminus  for  all  the  seven  rail- 
roads which  serve  this  section  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  This  city  be'ng  the 
starting  point  for  all  trains,  our  out- 
going mail,  exjiress.  etc.,  are  ac- 
companied, after  arriving  across  the 
Bay.  with  outgoing  mail  and  express 
from  East  Bay  points,  such  ship- 
ments to  any  one  point  arriving  at 
their  destination  at  the  same  time. 
And  yet  in  San  Francisco, right  at  the 
door  of  hei  industries,  there  is  68  per 
cent  greater  population  within  this 
switching  limits  than  within  the 
switching  limits  of  any  other  Bay 
point.  (See  page  26.) 

In  addition  to  the  above  industrial 
advantages  San  Francisco  has  in  her 
climate  a  factor  that  no  other  large 
city  an^-where  can  surpa-ss.  In 
winter  there  is  no  freezing  of  pipes 


with  its  attendant  delays  in  tin-  work 
carried  on  within  the  plant,  while 
the  outdoor  worker  never  has  to 
"lay  off"  a  day  on  account  of  the 
cold.  And  in  the  summer  sweltering 
heat  is  unknown,  the  shop  and  office 
forces  being  able  to  work  vigorously 
throughout  the  cool  summer  with  no 
thought  of  exhaustion  due  to  heat. 

And.  finally,  we  should  not  over- 
look the  factor  of  diversity  when 
analyzing  San  Francisco's  unique 
industrial  position.  There  are  cer- 
tain cities  in  this  country  which 
have  practically  no  industry  aside 
from  several  very  large  plants  all  of 
which  make  the  .same  type  of  prod- 
uct, such  as  shoes,  or  paper.  "These 
cities  acutely  reflect  the  "ups"  and 
"downs"  of  the  major  indu.stry  that 
almo.st  entirely  supplies  the  payroll. 
Unlike  such  cities.  San  FrancLsco 
has  himdreds  of  both  small  and 
large  industries  of  varied  products. 
Hence  fluctuations  in  any  one  line 
scarcely  affect  the  general  prosperity. 

The  foregoing  are  the  funda- 
mental factors  responsible  for  San 
Francisco's  industrial  supremacy. 
The  incidental  steps  that  have  to  be 
taken  to  carry  out  her  program  of 
progress  keep  us  engrossed,  but  we 
must  never  lose  sight  of  the  funda- 
mentals. Our  people  must  assume 
an  industrial  consciousness.  We 
must  first  learn  for  our.selves  how 
great  our  resources  are  and  then 
preach  these  to  others.  This  attitude 
will  cause  us  to  foster  the  great, 
diversified  industry  we  now  have, 
and  will  be  a  big  aid  in  bringing 
other  industries  to  us. 


The  Wealth  of  San  FrsLncisco—Cmtmued  from  page  is. 


The  value  of  the  raw  materials 
consumed  therein  was  $147,000,000. 

They  gave  emplojTnent  to  29,000 
workers,  and  the  wages  distributed 
for  the  year  amounted  to  .§42,000,- 
000. 

If  we  add  wages  paid  and  cost  of 
materials  used,  we  have  for  the  sum 
roundly  8190,000,000,  which  by 
simple  subtraction  leaves  a  net  value 
for  the  manufacturing  effort  of 
$73,000,000. 

That  is  the  sum  which  was  dis- 
tributed by  these  plants,  1,498  in 
profits  on  investment,  and  the  wages 
of  management. 

But  the  total  number  of  plants 
working  that  year  were  2,090,  and 
their  gross  output  wa-s  valued  at 
$416,000,000,  thus  producing,  on  the 
same  ratio,   §61,000,000  for  wages 


and  some  SI  10,000,000  for  profits. 

For  the  state  as  a  whole  the  wages 
paid  industrial  workers  amounted 
that  year  to  .?3o3,000,000;  the  cost 
of  materials  used  in  manufactures 
was  $1,285,000,000;  the  gross  value 
of  the  products  was  $2,216,000,000. 

The  value  added  by  the  process  of 
manufacture  alone,  was  thus  $931,- 
000,000,  out  of  which  came  the  item 
of  $353,000,000  for  wages,  and  out 
of  which  there  remained  for  profit, 
interest  on  investment,  cost  of  man- 
agement, etc.,  $578,000,000.  (See 
Tables  I.  and  II.,  page  18.) 

The  products  of  the  California  oil 
fields  have  gradually  forced  their 
way  to  first  position,  overhauling 
their  nearest  rivals,  the  products  of 
the  orchards  and  vegetable  gardens 
in  1921.    However,  it  is  not  likelv 


that  oils  will  always  lead,  and  within 
the  next  decade  we  may  look  for 
canning  in  fruit  and  vegetables  to 
lead  again. 

Taken  for  the  entire  period  here 
tabulated,  the  meat  slaughtering 
and  packing  business  has  held 
steadily  to  third  place,  though  for 
one  year,  1919,  it  was  displaced  from 
this  rank  by  shipbuilding,  a  meteoric 
industry  for  a  few  years,  and  by  iron 
foundry  products,  also  greatly  stim- 
ulated by  war  orders.  One  observes 
that  the  products  of  the  iron  foun- 
dries and  of  the  lumber  mills  run 
neck  and  neck  in  value. 

Though  shipbuilding  shows  the 
widest  variations,  there  is  consider- 
able instability  shown  by  a  number 
of  other  industries,  namely  the  rice 
milling,  beet  sugar  and  tanning.

produced  either  on  land  within  the 
shipping  limits  of  the  port  or  else  is 
produced  within  the  plants  and  fac- 
tories situated  in  tlie  Ixiy  area.  In 
this  connection  it  might  bo  well  to 
give  an  illustration  associated  with 
the  departure  for  the  Orient  of  one 
of  the  Dollar  Line's  big  steamships 
several  weeks  ago — the  vessel  took 
away  more  than  3,000  tons  of  freight 
produced  in  this  area  valued  at  ap- 
proximately $1,500,000.  It  is  esti- 
mated that  one-half  of  this  sum  had 
been  paid  to  local  labor  to  produce 


the  merchandise.  This  meant  that 
the  labor  of  100,000  workmen  re- 
ceiving compensation  at  the  rate  of 
ST.oO  per  tlay  was  represented  in 
this  single  shipment. 

Twentj'  years  ago  this  port  had 
never  welcomed  a  mighty  cruise 
liner — one  of  the  type  that  circles 
the  globe  with  hundreds  of  tourists. 
It  was  only  in  1912  that  the  trans- 
Atlantic  liner  Cleveland  came  here 
for  the  first  time  and  repeated  the 
venture  a  year  later.  Then  came  the 
war,  and  the  Cleveland  failed  to  ar-

rive.  Now  we  have  the  annual  visit 
of  five  of  these  great  trans-Atlantic 
liners,  each  laden  to  comfortable 
cruising  capacity  with  the  hundreds 
of  happy  travelers  who  take  this 
wonderful  world  jaunt.  Wonderful 
as  is  this  maritime  achievement  for 
the  development  of  this  great  port, 
we  have  another  and  greater  achieve- 
ment of  this  character  that  belongs 
to  the  Port  of  San  Francisco.  This 
can  best  be  illustrated  by  the  follow- 
ing letter  I  have  just  received  from 
Robert  Dollar,  head  of  the  San 
Francisco  steamship  organization 
that  has  helped  make  it  possible  for 
this  port  to  go  ahead  by  leaps  and 
bounds  within  a  short  span  of  time. 
Here  is  the  letter: 

"This  will  confirm  information  given 
you  over  the  telephone  thi,s  morning  to 
the  elTect  that  the  Dollar  Line  is  the  only 
.-Vmerican  company  operating  ships  on  a 
schedule  in  an  arouna-the-world  service. 
.\lso,  the  Dollar  Steamship  Line  is  the 
only  company  of  any  nationality  that 
maintains  such  a  service 

"We  have  fortnightly  sailings  and  San 
Francisco  is  our  home  port.  These  round- 
the-world  liners  touch  at  21  ports  situated 
in  thirteen  ilifTerent  countries,  and  with 
the  exception  of  ports  where  the  tide  con- 
ditions govern,  the  ships  are  scheduled  to 
sail  at  certain  hours.  This  schedule  is 
rigidly  adhered  to.  Tnisting  this  is  the 
information  you  desired,  I  am, 
"Yours  very  truly, 

"Robert  Doll.\r." 

In  addition  to  the  regular  around- 
the-world  service,  the  other  regular 
services,  centering  here,  include 
those  operating  to  the  following 
countries  in  addition  to  that  coming 
under  the  caption  of  Coastwise: 
Australia,  British  Columbia,  Europe, 
Hawaii,  Intercoastal,  South  Amer- 
ica, South  Africa,  Mexico,  Central 
America,  trans-Pacific,  United  King- 
don,  bay  and  river,  and  tramp. 

The  Port  of  San  Francisco  is 
operated  on  a  "Non-Profit"  or  "At 
Cost  Only"  basis.  Port  charges  are 
reduced  to  that  minimum  sufficient 
for  the  efficient  operation  and  main- 
tenance of  the  port.  San  Francisco 
charges  are  the  lowest  of  any  port  in 
the  United  States,  and  the  harbor 
facilities  have  not  cost  the  people  of 
the  city  or  state  one  dollar  in  taxes. 

The  investment  in  capital  in  San 
Francisco  shipping  is  plainly  evident 
in  the  construction  of  new  liners  for 
the  Matson  Navigation  Company 
and  the  Panama  Pacific  line.  It  is 
also  evidenced  by  the  purchase  of 
the  numerous  Shipping  Board  ships 
by  San  Francisco  capitalists  who 
have  confidence  in  the  future  of 
shipping  and  the  port. 

Twenty  years  ago  the  Port  of  San

San  Francisco  ^s  Building  and  Finance 


IHF.  YEAR  192.5  marked 

[f]  pj      a  new  milestone  in  San 

I  Francisco's  progress.   It 

J  U        l)ecame  last  year  a  Bil- 

I  linn  Dollar  city,  that  is 

t(i  .-iuy,  Its  material  wealth  compo.sed 
of  land,  improvements  and  the  per- 
sonal property'  recorded  on  the  as- 
sessment roll  exceeded  one  billion 
dollars  in  total  valuation. 

On  the  reasonable  assumption  that 
the  assessed  valuation  represents  not 
above  one-half  the  market  value  of 
the  property  listed,  San  Francisco's 
material  wealth  now  stands  well 
over  two  billion  dollars,  which  is  not 
far  from  one-fourth  of  that  of  the 
state  as  a  whole. 

100  Per  Cent  Increase 

The  increase  in  material  wealth 
over  the  twenty-year  period  since 
the  fire  of  1906,  or,  to  be  exact,  the 
nineteen-year  period,  has  been,  if  we 
cling  to  the  assessment  figures, 
roundly  $500,000,000,  or  just  100 
per  cent.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  one 
must  make  some  very  large  addi- 
tions to  these  figures  to  arrive  at  the 
true  situation,  for  on  the  assessor's 
books  there  is  shown  but  a  very 
slight  increase  in  that  very  impor- 
tant factor  of  land  valuation,  the 
increase  in  20  years  being  only 
$33,000,000. 

We  shall  not  attempt  to  make  any 
correction  of  the  figures,  but  merely 
point  them  out  as  evidence  that  the 
one  billion  dollar  assessment,  or  a 
two  billion  dollar  actual  valuation  of 
San  Francisco's  material  wealth,  is 
well  below  the  true  value,  and  there- 
fore an  understatement  rather  than 
an  exaggeration  of  the  facts. 

The  two  factors  which  most  read- 
Uy  reveal  San  Francisco's  material 
growth  since  1905  are  Building  and 
Finance,  which  constitute  the  sub- 
ject matter  of  this  chapter. 

$590,000,000  Spent 

Since  19Uo  the  money  spent  on 
building  operations,  including  the 
public  as  well  as  the  private  struc- 
tures, has  reached  the  significant 
total  of  .$590,000,000. 

In  that  same  period  the  resources 
of  the  San  Francisco  banking  institu- 
tions, through  which  this  huge  build- 
ing program  has  been  so  largely 
financed,  marched  forward  from 
«210,000,000  (for  1905)  to  $1,519,- 
000,000  (for  1925). 

In  1905  on  the  assessor's  books 
the  imoroveraents  of  real  estate  in 


the  buildings  that  stand  upon  the 
land,  were  valued  at  .197,000,000— 
about  one-third  of  the  assessed  value 
of  the  real  estate. 

In  1925,  the  improvements  were 
valued  by  the  assessor  at  $275,000,- 
000,  an  increase  of  about  300  per 
cent,  and  the  improvements  are  now 
within  $53,000,000  of  the  value  of 
the  real  estate.  The  increase  in  im- 
provements has  therefore  been 
.'8178,000,000  over  the  period  since 
1905,  or  $185,000,000  if  we  add  the 
improvements  on  operative  prop- 
erty, now  separately  assessed  for 
state  taxing  purposes  only. 

This  sum,  it  will  be  seen,  cor- 
responds rather  closely  with  the 
building  operations  for  the  period, 
if  we  allow  as  we  must  for  the  fact 
that  under  the  law  property  is 
valued  for  assessment  purposes  at 
about  one-half  of  its  real  value. 

The  rate  of  improvements  for  the 
entire  20-year  period  has  been  $29,- 
000,000  per  year,  the  highest  in- 
crease occurring  in  1924  when  build- 
ing operations  as  shown  by  permits 
issued  reached  the  total  of  $57,000,- 


000.  The  second  highest  year  was 
that  of  1907,  when  the  ravages  of 
the  fire  were  partly  repaired,  and 
when  the  value  of  buildings  erected 
amounted  to  $56,000,000.  The  low- 
est increase  was  in  1918,  the  climax 
of  the  war  period,  when  the  permits 
fell  to  $7,000,000. 

Both  the  disaster  of  the  fire  and 
the  setback  of  the  war  must  be  taken 
into  consideration  in  studying  San 
Francisco's  building  activities. 

On  the  assessor's  books  alone  the 
fire  wiped  off  $149,000,000  of  prop- 
erty values,  of  which  sixty-seven 
millions  were  in  real  estate  values, 
forty-seven  millions  in  improvements 
and  thirty-four  millions  were  in 
personal  property.  The  1905  pre- 
fire  level  in  values  was  not  reached 
again  until  1909,  and  then  only 
through  an  arbitrary  raise  of  10  per 
cent  applied  by  the  State  Board  of 
Equalization.  The  normal  increase 
did  not  bring  up  the  pre-fire  total 
until  1911,  and  by  that  time  state 
and  local  taxes  were  separated,  and 
San  Francisco,  which  means  mainly

developed  more  or  less  intensively 
from  Battery  and  Lombard  streets 
on  the  north  to  Berry  Street  on  the 
south.  There  were  a  few  small 
wharves  along  Channel  Street  and  in 
Central  Basin.  The  permanent  sea- 
wall was  con.structed  only  in  part. 
There  wa.«  a  small  section  completed 
between  Taylor  Street  and  Mission 
and  a  short  section  at  the  foot  of 
Berry  Street.  There  were  no  wharves 
paralleling  the  waterfront  lietween 
Taylor  and  Lombard  streets  and 
those  in  existence  were  of  the  old 


timber  type  of  construction.  There 
were  only  thirty-three  of  these  com- 
mercial piers  exclusive  of  the  smaller 
structures  in  Channel  Street  and 
Central  Basin.  Narrow  piers  pre- 
dominated, only  six  being  more  than 
one  hundred  feet  in  width.  Ap- 
parently the  need  for  covered  space 
was  le.ss  at  that  time,  only  seventeen 
of  the  piers  having  covered  sheds. 
The  handling  of  coal  was  then  an 
important  industry-,  six  of  the  piers 
being  forthis  purpose.  The  last  of  the 
bunkers  on  Pier  15  is  now  beingrazed.

In  comparison,  the  waterfront  of 
1926  is  developed  intensively  for 
commercial  purposes  from  Hyde 
Street  on  the  north  to  Chaimel 
Street  on  the  south.  In  addition, 
commercial  piers  have  been  con- 
structed along  the  China  Basin  front 
south  of  the  Channel,  and  consider- 
able development  has  been  started 
in  the  Islais  Creek  district,  where 
grain,  oil  and  lumber  terminals  are 
being  pro\'ided. 

The  permanent  seawall  extends 
from  Hj'de  Street  to  the  Channel 
and  is  paralleled  for  almost  the  entiie 
distance  with  a  reinforced  concrete 
apron  wharf.  The  piers  are  larger 
and  number  forty-two.  Eighteen 
are  constructed  of  reinforced  con- 
crete. Their  area  totals  4,967,280 
square  feet,  of  which  3,120,394 
square  feet  consists  of  covered  sheds. 
Comparative  figures  for  1906  were 
1,979,000  square  feet  and  911,000 
square  feet,  respectively. 

Only  five  of  the  piers  had  railroad 
tracks  ex-tended  for  the  convenience 
of  the  shippers  twenty  years  ago. 
Thirty-six  of  the  present  enlarged 
piers  are  equipped  with  tracks. 

The  seven  passenger  ferrj-  sUps  at 
the  fern.-  have  been  increased  to  ten 
adjacent  to  the  foot  of  Market  Street 
and  two  additional  slips  have  been 
constnicted  and  are  being  used  at 
the  north  end  of  the  waterfront  for 
the  use  of  the  service  between  San 
Francisco  and  Marin  County. 

A  total  of  630,530  square  feet  of 
land  comprising  eighteen  seawall 
lots  had  been  reclaimed  by  the  Har- 
bor Board  up  to  1906.  This  reclama- 
tion has  been  continued  until  there 
are  now  twenty-nine  lots  with  a  total 
area  of  1,275,442  square  feet. 

Freight  traffic  for  the  port  in  1906 
was  5,748,992  tons.  It  was  10.801,- 
434  tons  in  1925.  There  were  31.000 
ear  movements  in  1906  and  111,785 
during  the  past  year.  The  gross 
revenue  in  twenty  vears  has  leaped 
from  §1,066,000  to' 82,814,270:  the 
Belt  Line  revenues  from  877,800  to 
8416,511;  the  disbursements  of  the 
Harbor  Board  from  81,021,500  to 
.82,053,945. 

The  above  represents  an  accurate 
recital  of  the  achievement  of  the 
Port  of  San  Francisco  in  twenty 
years.  It  will  be  noted  that  the 
progress  is  more  than  twofold.  The 
greatest  percentage  of  increase  has 
been  during  the  last  half  of  this 
period.  Great  as  has  been  the  devel- 
opment and  achievement  during  the 
past  twenty  years,  it  is  reasonable 
to  expect  that  the  Port  of  San  Fran- 
cisco will  make  vastly  greater  strides 
during  the  next  twenty  years.

San  Francisco  Hotels 

By  Ernest  Drury 


SAN   FRANCISCO   has   more 
"little  and  big"  hotels  in  pro- 
portion to  its  size  than  any  city 
in  America. 

From  the  days  when  the  fame  of 
San  Francisco's  Bohemian  restau- 
rants and  early  hotels  first  spread  to 
the  four  corners  of  the  earth  till  the 
present,  when  picturesque  pre- Vol- 
stead atmosphere  has  given  place  to 
substantial  dignity,  the  city  has  been 
consistently  preeminent  among  the 
hotel  centers  of  the  country. 


There  are  now  in  the  city  1,500 
buildings  which  are  classed  as  hotels 
in  the  municipal  records  and  thou- 
sands of  handsome  apartment 
houses,  the  number  of  which  is  in- 
creasing almost  daily.  The  growth 
in  the  number  of  hotels  and  apart- 
ment houses  in  the  past  three  years 
has  been  phenomenal  and  more 
amazing  still  is  the  fact  that  each  of 
these  houses  is  doing  splendid  busi- 
ness. 

There  are  two  outstanding  char- 


acteristics of  the  San  Francisco  hotel 
situation.  First  is  the  high  .standard 
of  accommodations  and  service  in 
proportion  to  the  rate  charged.  In 
other  words  that  a  dollar  buys  more 
in  hotel  accommodations  in  San 
Francisco  than  in  any  other  large 
city  of  the  United  States.  The  second 
outstanding  feature  is  the  fact  that 
San  Francisco  hotels  have  never 
failed  to  absorb  comfortably  any 
convention  crowd. 

The  great  Shrine  convention  of 
three  years  ago  and  the  Democratic 
Convention  of  1920  are  notable  ex- 
amples. This  comfortable  housing 
with  no  gouging  of  rates  has  made 
San  Francisco  the  great  convention 
city. 

Build  for  Community 

Hotels  in  liuilding  their  own  busi- 
ness build  for  the  community,  for, 
according  to  D.  M.  Linnard,  in  the 
matter  of  converting  the  transient 
visitor  into  a  permanent  resident  of 
any  community,  the  visitor's  hotel 
is  the  town's  first  emissary. 

Linnard  maintains  that  "accord- 
ing to  the  comfort  and  pleasure  of 
his  first  stay  in  California,  so  the 
tourist  carries  away  with  him  pleas- 
ant memories  and  plans  to  return  to 
build  a  permanent  liome  here." 


San  Francisco  Libraries 

Among  Finest  in  the 

United  States 

SAN  FRANCISCO  is  the  site  of 
three  large  libraries  open  to  the 
public,  tie  Public  Library,  oc- 
cupying a  million  dollar  structure  at 
the  Civic  Center,  the  Mechanics 
Institute  Library,  in  a  nine-story 
building  of  its  own  on  Post  Street  in 
the  heart  of  the  down  town  section, 
and  the  Sutro  Library,  a  part  of  the 
State  Library,  now  housed  in  the 
main  public  library  at  the  Civic 
Center.  These  libraries  contain 
some  of  the  most  valuable  special 
collections  of  books  in  existence.  For 
the  convenience  of  research  scholars 
and  students  of  special  subjects, 
there  are  also  available  the  libraries 
of  Leland  Stanford  University  at 
Palo  Alto,  and  the  University  of 
California  at  Berkeley,  the  latter 
having  in  addition  to  its  own  e.xten- 
sive  university  library,  the  great 
special  collection  of  books  in  the 
historic  Bancroft  Library.  There 
are  in  addition  here  also  many 
private  and  quasi-public  libraries 
devoted  to  law,  history  and  scientific 
subjects.

Rubber  manufacture  today 
begins  at  the  tree ! 

HE  United  States  Rubber  Company  is  the  largest  single  producer  of  crude  rubber 
in  the  world. 

Every  pound  of  rubber  that  comes  from  our  great  plantations  in  Sumatra  and 
Malaya  is  treated  from  the  time  it  leaves  the  tree  with  a  distinct  view  to  the 
type  of  product  into  which  it  will  be  made — and  the  service  which  that  product 
must  perform. 

In  1911  we  started  our  own  plantations  in  Sumatra,  Dutch  East  Indies.  Today,  the 
United  States  Rubber  Company  operates  the  largest  rubber  plantation  in  the  world,  with 
over  seven  million  trees  in  actual  cultivation. 

A  recent  report  by  Herbert  Ashplant,  noted  rubber  authority  and  Government  Rublier 
Mycologist  of  Southern  India,  states: 

"Of  all  the  rubber  areas  visited  none  produced  so  much  unusual 
information  as  the  Plantations  of  the  United  States  Rubber  Company  in 
Sumatra.  Kisaran,  headquarters  of  these  plantations,  has  become  the 
Mecca  of  all  planters  who  wish  to  keep  abreast  of  recent  rubber  research." 

We  have  been  growing  rubber  on  our  own  plantations  for  fifteen  years.  Today,  the 
finest  rubber  produced  anywhere  in  the  world  goes  into  the  products  carrying  the  famous 
"U.S."  trade-mark.

SAX  FRAN'CISCO  BlvSlNESS,  APRIL  14,  1926 


San  Francisco  Chinatown- 


HEN  gold  was  discovered 
in  California,  the  Chinese 
ear  was  not  slow  to  catch 
the  feverish  news  that 
was  spreading  around 
the  world  in  spite  of  a  span  of  6,000 
miles  separating  the  sons  of  the 
Celestial  Empire  from  the  center  of 
excitement.  A  number  of  adven- 
turers from  southern  China  were 
attracted,  and  at  once  set  out  to 
gratify  their  desire  for  riches  in  that 
corner  of  America  where  gold  was  free 
for  all  those  who  with  willing  hands 
helped  themselves  in  their  quest  of 
fortune,  as  so  often  told  in  fables. 

After  months  of  torturing  tossing 
at  sea,  the  first  Chinese  gold-seekers 
entered  the  Golden  Gate,  and  landed 
themselves  on  a  spot  which  they 
named  "Kum  Shan"  meaning  "Hills 
of  Gold."  This  spot  of  their  first 
landing  in  America  was  the  nucleus 
of  the  "Chinatown"  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

Today  the  Chinese  population  of 
San  Francisco  is  approximately  10,- 
000,  mostly  merchants  and  members 
of  their  families. 

The  Chinese  community  of  San 
Francisco  before  the  conflagration  of 
1906  was  a  concentrated  embodi- 
ment of  all  the  elements  and  condi- 
tions of  China.  The  small  area 
covered  with  small  shops  displaying 
native  wares;  congested  tenement 
housesdecoratedwithstrictly  Chinese 
objects  of  art;  children  and  women 
seen  in  the  streets  arrayed  in  native 
garments  of  dazzling  prismatic 
colors;  inhabitants  chattering  in 
native  tongue,  without  the  least 
worry  of  not  understanding  any 
other  language  but  their  own;  high- 
colored  business  signs  of  intricate 
designs  and  characters;  and  over- 
hanging balconies  of  the  buildings, 
created  a  very  colorful,  typical 
Oriental  atmosphere  of  Chinatown, 
furnishing  unlimited  curiosity  and 
amusement  to  sight-seeing  tourists. 

The  historical  San  Francisco  fire 
of  twenty  years  ago  swept  away 
forever  the  antiquated  and  quaint 
picturesqueness  of  the  old  San  Fran- 
cisco Chinatown  including  its  cus- 
toms and  traditions.  In  its  place 
there  has  arisen  a  new  and  modern 
group  of  structures  of  more  or  less 
Chinese  architecture  that  bear  mere 
suggestions  of  the  old  sights.  The 
spacious  modern  stores  offer  to  the 
eye  well  studied  displays  of  imported 
products  of  Chinese  artists  and 
artisans.  Here  and  there,  one  may 
still  see  native  jewelers  fashioning 
pure  gold  and  jade  stones  into  intri- 


cate designs  by  the  patient  mind 
through  deft  fingers.  A  stroll  along 
the  main  business  street,  namely 
Grant  Avenue,  one  is  greatly  im- 
pressed by  the  twenty-odd  magnifi- 
cent association  buildings  and  "fam- 
ily" halls,  outlined  with  graceful 
curves  and  sharp  angles  of  Chinese 
architecture,  and  illuminated  with 
electric  and  flood  lights,  at  night  time. 

Scattered  through  the  small  area 
of  eleven  blocks  are  a  modern  hospi- 
tal built  and  equipped  with  a  quarter 
of  a  million  dollars  of  Chinese  dona- 
tions, five  daily  newspapers  pub- 
lished in  the  Chinese  language,  and 
an  up-to-date  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Building 
equal  to  any  other  "Y"  in  any  city, 
six  or  more  temples  of  Confucianist 
and  Buddhist  creeds,  and  eleven 
Christian  churches,  ranging  from 
the  Catholic  to  the  Seventh  Day 
Adventist.  There  is  ample  religious 
influence  to  invite  all  and  every  one 
to  follow  the  "straight  and  narrow 
path,"  yet  the  trouble  seems  to  be 
that  many  are  confused  as  to  which 
door  they  shall  enter  by,  and  through 
hesitation,  many  are  still  outside  of 
the  "fold." 

The  1,500  children  of  school  age 
during  the  day  Hock  to  the  Com- 
modore Stockton  School,  the  only 
American  public  school  in  China- 
town for  Chinese  children,  where 
American  ideals  and  studies  are  im- 
parted to  them  in  English  exclu- 
sively. In  the  evening  between 
the  hours  of  seven  and  nine,  these 


By  Chee  S.  Lowe 


same  children  attend  the  ten  or 
more  different  private  schools  where 
they  are  drilled  in  the  Chinese 
language,  literature,  and  history. 
When  the  Chinese  youths  are  hard 
at  work,  other  American  children 
are  listening  to  fairy-tales  or  reading 
fictions  for  relaxation. 

The  Chinese  in  San  Francisco, 
(and  this  is  largely  true  of  those  of 
elsewhere  in  this  country)  are  rapidly 
adopting  American  ideals  and  the 
customs  of  the  land  in  which  they 
have  settled. 

The  marvelous  advancement  made 
by  the  Chinese  in  this  country  in  the 
last  two  decades  may  be  attributed 
to  three  outstanding  causes:  First, 
the  long  and  closer  contact  with 
Americans  has  given  them  a  more 
comprehensive  knowledge  of  the 
ideals  and  customs  of  the  Americans ; 
second,  the  change  of  the  Chinese 
government  from  an  empire  to  a 
republic  has  awakened  a  conscious- 
ness in  the  Chinese  people  in  general 
that  the  nations  of  the  world  would 
progress  more  peacefully,  not  by 
antagonism  or  holding  aloof  from 
others,  but  through  a  better  under- 
standing of  one  another;  and  last, 
the  American  public  has  withdrawn 
to  a  great  extent  the  prejudice  which 
they  have  so  long  held  against  the 
Chinese  people,  and  has  generously 
extended  to  them  greater  oppor- 
tunities in  business  and  social  inter- 
course, which  is  the  spirit  of  true 
Americanism.

General  Description  of  San  Francisco 


Location 


[Thi-  city  «( 
I  San  Francisco 
is  Iniilt  upon  the  northern  tip  of  a 
peninsula  that  has  an  extreme  lenfith 
of  aliout  fifty  nules,  and  a  base  Mne 
of  about  forty  miles.  The  site  oc- 
cupied by  the  city  is  broken  in 
character,  and  marked  by  many 
hills,  bay  indentations  and  some 
tidal  swamps.  Excepting  on  the 
southern  side  the  site  is  surrounded 
by  water. 

Entrance  from  the  Pacific  Ocean 
to  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco  is 
through  the  Oolden  Gate,  a  channel 
having  a  depth  of  03  fathoms  and  a 
width  of  one  and  one-eighth  miles. 
This  romantic  name  was  given  to 
the  channel  by  General  .John  (". 
Fremont  because  of  its  resemblance 
to  the  Golden  Horn  at  Constanti- 
nople, and  has  received  realistic  sig- 
nificance, first  liecause  of  the  great 
gold  rush,  and  second  because  of  the 
golden  sunsets. 

The  city  covers  an  area  of  46 J  2 
square  miles  of  land  and  80}4  square 
miles  of  water.  Within  the  city 
limits  arc  numerous  hills  that  vary 
in  elevation  from  150  to  938  feet. 
The  highest  of  these  is  Mt.  David- 
son (938  feet),  the  second  highest 
Mt.  Sutro,  formerly  known  as  Blue 
Mountain,  920  feet,  and  the  third 
Twin  Peaks  (South  Twin  and  North 
Twin)  each  of  which  has  an  ele\a- 
tionof  919feet. 

The  following  are  the  names  of  tin  ■ 
most  prominent  hills: 

Telegraph  Hill       Twin  l'<vd<s 
Russian  Hill  Mt.  Davidson 

Nob  Hill  Mt.(.)lyiupus 

Rincon  Hill  Buena  \ista 

Bernal  Heights  Strawberry  Hill 
Potrero  Hills  Lone  Mountain 
Larsen  Peak  Lincoln  Park 

All  of  these  hills  afford  excellent 
views  of  the  siuTounding  country, 
and  from  the  higher  ones  on  clear 
days  an  incomparable  panoraina  of 
hills  and  valleys  and  water,  includ- 
ing a  considerable  part  of  San  Mateo, 
Alameda,  Contra  Costa  and  Marin 
counties,  and  on  the  west  the  Pacific 
Ocean. 

The  most  conspicuous  feature,  be- 
cause of  its  nearness,  is  Mt.  Tamal- 
pais  in  Marin  County,  directly 
north,  having  an  elevation  of  2,596 
feet  and  by  air  line  only  fourteen 
miles  away.  Mt.  Diablo,  on  the  east, 
rising  from  behind  the  Berkeley 
Hills,  with  an  elevation  of  3,849  feet, 
is  32  miles  away. 

The  shoreline  nearly  suriounding 
the  city  is  varied  in^its  characl(-r 


from  the  sandy  shingle  beach  of  the 
ocean  on  the  west  to  the  rugged 
bluffs  on  the  north.  Hast  and  .south, 
where  the  bay  formed  tidal  fiats  and 
marshes,  years  of  labor  at  reclama- 
tion work  and  the  construction  of 
seawalls  and  piers  has  converted 
miles  of  waterfront  into  wharfs  and 
docks  for  the  use  of  shipping  that 
makes  up  the  water  carriers  of  its 
vast  commerce  and  ferry  traffic. 

An  interesting  feature  of  the  bay 
are  the  numerous  islands,  of  which 
Angel  Island,  Verba  Buena  and 
Alcatraz  are  the  most  important. 
The  bay  has  an  area  of  45()  square 
miles,  of  which  79  square  miles  are  of 
safe  anchorage,  with  water  at  the 
docks  from  IS  to  60  feet  deep. 

San  Francisco  is  in  latitude  37°

Harbor  and 
Harbor  Facilities 


The  Port  of 
S;m  Francisco 
iti  a  public  proj- 
ect publicly 
owned  and  managed,  the  physical 
plant  of  which  alone  is  valued  at 
$50,000,000.  Its  center  feature  is 
the  Ferry  Building,  which  houses 
the  depot  facilities  for  all  the  ferry 
lines  and  transcontinental  railroad 
terminals.  It  is  a  two-story  struc- 
ture 656  feet  long,  that  cost  $1,000,- 
000  to  erect,  and  in  its  center 
supports  a  tower  of  275  feet  high 
modeled  after  the  famous  clock 
tower  of  Saville.  The  building  was 
erected  in  1892,  and  through  its 
portals  each  vear  pass  upwards  <if 
50,000,000  people. 

The  port  facilities  otherwise  con- 
sist of  40  piers  and  adjacent  bulk- 
head wharves,  which  furnish  5,528,- 
000  square  feet  of  cargo  space.  There 
are  15.7  miles  of  berthing  space 
alongside  accommodating  at  one 
time  210  vessels  averaging  400  feet 
in  length.  There  are  also  six  car- 
ferry  slips,  12  passenger  ferry  slips 
and  56.6  miles  of  belt  line  railway, 
equipped  with  8  locomotives  and  one 
locomotive  crane.  At  Islais  Creek  is 
a  large  terminal  grain  warehouse, 
and  on  Channel  Street  a  newly  com- 
pleted state  warehouse  of  gigantic 
proportions. 

The  piers  vary  in  size  from  100 
feet  by  600  feet,  to  200  feet  by  900 
feet,  with  docks  between  varying  in 
width  from  146  feet  to  220  feet.  The 
cargo  volume  handled  in  1925  ex- 
ceeded 12,000,000  tons. 


Streets,  Sewers,etc.  I  f ^"  Fnmcisco 
'  '         I  has  ol4   miles 


of  paved  streets,  870  miles  of  streets 
laid  out  and  mapped,  including  both 
paved  and  unpaved  streets,  and  398 
miles  of  pipe  sewers,  which  cost  up 
to  1920,  $15,000,000. 

It  is  famous  the  world^over  for  its 
boulevards  and  scenic  drives  and  has 
some  of  the  widest  paved  streets  in 
the  world,  among  them  being,  the 
Park  Panhandle,  275  feet  wide, 
Sloat  Boulevard,  135  feet,  Van  Ness 
Avenue,  125  feet  and  Market  Street, 
120  feet. 

From  its  industrial  value  the  most 
important  project  now  underway  is 
the  reclamation  of  Islais  Creek 
marsh,  comprising  200  acres,  all  of 
which  will  be  available  for  industrial 
sites,  immediately  adjacent  to  both 
tide  water  and  direct  rail  connection. 
The  cost  of  the  project  is  estimated 
at  $1,460,000,  which  includes  a  sea- 
wall costing  $835,000,  $450,000  for 


dredging  in   materials  as  fill,   and 
$175,000  for  a  sewer. 

Municipally,  the  most  important 
project  underway  is  the  building  of 
the  Hetch  Hetchy  water  and  power 
project  in  the  Sierra  mountains, 
from  which  ultimately  the  city  will 
draw  its  main  water  supply,  now 
derived  through  the  Spring  Valley 
system  from  Alameda  and  San 
Mateo  counties.  For  the  Hetch 
Hetchy  project  bonds  for  $55,000,- 
000  have  been  voted,  and  mostly 
spent.

337  miles.  For  the  year  ending  June 
1925,  from  passenger  and  miscellaneous 
revenue,  the  city  obtained  a  total 
revenue  of  §3,281,498.23. 

Bay  Ferry  Trafl&c — Bay  ferry  passenger 
traffic  increased  14  per  cent  last  year. 
A  total  of  57,322,124  passengers  and 
vehicles  were  transported  on  all  bay 
lines  during  1925  as  compared  to  50,- 
112,366  in  1924. 

Golfing — Aside  from  its  privately  owned 
courses,  San  Francisco  has  two  mimici- 
pal  courses  of  eighteen  holes  each.  One 
is  the  Lincoln  Park  course  from  which 
an  impressive  view  may  be  obtained  of 
the  Golden  Gate,  and  the  other  is  the 
new  Harding  Golf  course. 

Clubs — San  Francisco  is  noted  for  its  club 
activities  as  carried  on  by  its  more  than 
ninety  clubs — social,  educational,  musi- 
cal and  athletic.

INDUSTRIAL 


By  GEORGE  R.  GAY,  Chairman 

CERTAIN  outstanding  accom- 
coniplishments  can  be  checked 
up  to  the  credit  of  the  Indus- 
trial Department  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce  for 
1925  and  these,  together  with  many 
other  activities  and  instances  of 
service  rendered,  make  up  a  year's 
work  of  which  the  members  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  may  well  feel 
justly  proud. 

Islais  Creek  Reclamation 

The  Islais  Creek  section  is  a 
natural  industrial  section  by  loca- 
tion but  at  present  it  is  a  tide  flat. 
Work  of  the  Industrial  Department 
secured  from  the  Legislature  the 
necessary  legislation  to  reclaim  the 
swamp  area.  The  bill  became  a  law 
on  August  24,  1925.  When  the  work 
is  completefl  291  acres  will  have  been 
reclaimed  for  industrial  purposes. 

Apparel  Center  Building 

Recognizing  the  need  for  unifica- 
tion among  wearing  apparel  manu- 
facturers, as  a  first  step  towards 
promoting  the  use  of  San  Fran- 
eisco-made  goods,  the  Industrial 
Department  c-irr  ed  through  a  pro- 
gram which  res  dted  in  federating  the 
different  wearing  apparel  units  with 
result  that  they  agreed  to  undertake 
not  only  plans  to  work  in  harmony 
but  the  erection  of  a  building  in 
which  members  of  the  Federation 
would  be  located. 

This  entire  program  was  carried 
through  to  a  successful  issue  and  the 
eleven  story,  steel  frame  Apparel 
Center  Building  is  now  in  process  of 
construction  on  Fourth  Street  be- 
tween Market  and  Mission.  This 
building  is  comparable  in  importance 
to  the  Furniture  Exchange  in  that  it 
will  centralize  buying  in  the  apparel 
industry. 

Trap  Car  Service 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  certain  bay 
communities  were  provided  with 
trap-car  service  which  the  railroads 
did  not  provide  for  San  Francisco 
industries,  the  Industrial  Depart- 
ment cooperated  with  the  Traffic 
Bureau  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce to  secure  the  institution  of 
trap-car  service  for  San  Francisco 
and  as  a  result  of  hearings,  the  Rail- 
road Commission  has  sustained  the 
contention  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Conmierce  and  ordered 
service  to  be  rendered  at  $2.70  per 

[  continued  next  page  ] 


TRAFFIC  BUREAU 


THE  outstanding  accomplish- 
ment, during  the  past  year,  of 
the  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce,  is 
the  establishment,  effective  March 
25th,  of  the  so-called  "trap-car"  or 
less  than  carload  switching  service 
at  San  Francisco  and  all  other  princi- 
pal stations  in  California. 

Following  a  complaint  filed  with 
the  California  Railroad  Commission 
by  the  Traffic  Bureau,  the  rail 
carriers  have  been  directed  and 
authorized  by  the  Commission  to 
establish  this  service  at  a  charge  of 
$2.70  per  car  and  to  provide  for 
interchange  of  less  than  carload 
freight  by  the  various  carriers  at 
interchange  points  throughout  the 
state. 

The  establishment  of  this  service 
will  mean  a  large  saving  to  the  ship- 
pers of  the  whole  state  of  California. 

Opposed  Gooding  Bill 

The  Traffic  Bureau  was  very  active 
in  opposition  to  the  so-called  "Good- 
ing Bill"  which  was  defeated  in 
Congress  last  month.  The  bill  pro- 
posed to  deny  the  rail  lines  charging 
less  for  a  longer  than  a  shorter  haul 
over  the  same  line  or  route  in  the 
same  direction  to  meet  water  com- 
petition. 

Had  this  bill  become  a  law,  it 
would  have  had  a  serious  effect  on 
our  Pacific  Coast  rate  situation  as 
the  rail  rates  are  all  based  to  some 
extent  on  water  competition;  such 
as  the  rates  from  San  Francisco  to 
Portland,  Seattle,  Tacoma  and  Los 
Angeles,  to  say  nothing  of  the  trans- 
continental movements  as  influenced 
by  the  traffic  through  the  Panama 
Canal. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  was  also  in- 
strumental in  preventing  a  cancella- 
tion of  a  tariff  provision  allowing 
twelve  months'  time  for  reprocessing 
or  repacking  import  tea  at  the  Port 
of  San  Francisco,  which  is  of  very 
decided  benefit  to  our  local  tea  im- 
porters. 

The  Bureau  has  been  very  active, 
during  the  past  year,  in  the  agitation 
to  provide  a  faster  passenger  train 
schedule  between  San  Francisco  and 
Chicago,  also  taking  a  very  active 
part  in  the  General  Freight  Rate 
Investigation  and  the  application  of 
the  Western  Rail  Lines  for  an  in- 
crea.se  of  rates,  both  of  which  are 
now  under  consideration  by  the 
Interstate  Commerce   Commission.

BijhEOS  M.  VUURSAXGER,  Chnirmun 

CORRELATE  activities!  Banish 
individualism!  San  Francisco 
has  progressed  and  will  con- 
tinue to  progress  by  reason  of  her 
natural  advantages;  but  how  its  pace 
might  be  accelerated  if  our  business 
men  would  think  and  work  collec- 
tively instead  of  individually! 

San  Francisco  is  blessed  with 
many  hundred  splendid  organiza- 
tions, each  a  separate  entity,  each 
■anxious  to  serve  our  beloved  city. 
Who  can  tell  the  economic  waste 
represented  by  duplicated  effort, 
uncoordinated  energies  and  unre- 
lated planning? 

We  must  set  up  an  instrumentality 
that  will  harness  the  tremendous 
power  possessed  by  a  loyal,  enthusi- 
astic business  community,  contin- 
uously pulling  together  for  the 
achievement  of  definite  ideals. 

With  this  in  mind,  the  Member- 
ship Committee  has  organized  a 
body  of  key  men,  representing  each 
commercial  and  industrial  group  in 
the  city,  with  the  hope  that  co- 
ordinated effort  may  result,  and  San 
Francisco's  problems  be  intelligently 
brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
Chamber ;  that  proper  programs  may 
be  undertaken,  and  beneficial  ob- 
jectives attained. 

Key  Man  Organization 

Our  Key  Man  Organization  forms 
direct  contacts  with  all  groups.  It 
will  knit  more  closely  together  the 
entire  membership  and  bring  about 
a  working  medium  through  which 
all  interests  may  be  quickly  con- 
sulted on  any  problem. 

In  a  Chamber  of  Commerce,  the 
Membership  Department  is  the 
Sales  Department.  Its  prime  func- 
tion is  a  representative  one.  It  fol- 
lows, therefore,  that  every  action 
and  accomplishment  of  the  Chamber 
is  directly  related  to  membership 
and  that  membership  success  re- 
flects Chamber  performance. 

The  character  of  the  membership 
is  dependable  and  growing.  The 
departmental  and  committee  organi- 
zation is  at  full  strength  and  sound. 

We  have  a  membership  structure 
with  a  firm  foundation  and  look  for- 
ward to  continued  dependable  ad- 
vancement.

Spur  Track  Facilities: 

The  Industrial  Department  has 
been  active  during  the  past  year  in 
securing  additional  spur  tracks  in 
sections  industrial  in  nature  but 
without  these  facilities.  Special  at- 
tention has  been  given  to  the  dis- 
trict served  by  the  line  of  the  old 
Ocean  Shore  Railroad  and  the  Paul 
Avenue  tract.  In  both  sections  spur 
tracks  were  laid  at  the  instigation  of 
this  department. 

Airport  Preliminaries: 

The  ncefl  for  an  airport,  in  order 
to  insure  San  Francisco  her  proper 
place  in  the  new  field  of  aerial  trans- 
portation, has  been  recognized  and 
the  Industrial  Department  is  at 
work  to  secure  the  necessary  facili- 
ties. The  project  was  only  initiated 
in  1925,  but  it  is  hoped  that  definite 
results  will  be  obtained  during  the 
coming  year. 

The  department  concerns  itself 
with  the  industrial  welfare  of  the 
city,  this  activity  ramifying  into 
various  channels  such  as  the  garbage 
question,  reclamation  of  areas  such 
as  Islais  Creek,  provision  of  spur 
tracks  as  indicated  above,  etc.,  all  of 
which  will  make  industrial  growth 
more  natural  and  rapid. 

Industrial  Expansion  and  New 
Industries: 

San  Francisco  industries  prospered 
greatly  during  1925  with  over  45 
major  expansions  of  old  established 
industries,  and  an  average  of  one 
new  industry  located  here  each  week. 
The  combined  output  of  some  2,198 
major  industries  brought  the  esti- 
mated value  of  manufactured  prod- 
ucts for  the  year  of  1925  for  the  city 
of  San  Francisco,  alone,  up  to  .$529,- 
000,000  or  a  gain  of  $56,000,000  over 
the  year  1924.  The  figures  are  based 
on  the  premises  that  the  growth 
from  1923  to  1925  has  been  as  rapid 
as  from  1921  to  1923  (the  latest 
census  figures  available).  These 
premises  are  borne  out  quite  clo.sely 
by  the  known  factors  such  as  carload 
movements,  savings  bank  deposits, 
building  permits,  real  estate  sales 
and  bank  clearings. 
Engineering : 

The  department  furnished  indus- 
trial prospects  with  engineering  re- 
ports, which,  according  to  the  United 
States  Chamber  of  Commerce  are 
"the  best  in  both  form  and  substance 
we  have  received  from  any  Chamber 
anywhere." 

During  the  year,  ninety-five  of 
these    special    engineering    reports 


have  been  prepared  for  executives 
seeking  location  of  plant  or  branch 
headc|uartcrs  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 
In  addition  to  these  fifty-four  special 
general  engineering  re|)orts  have 
been  prepared  for  local  people — 
leaders  in  advancement  of  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  region. 

Services : 

The  department  works  not  only  to 
secure  new  industries  but  to  aid 
present  industries  in  everj'  way 
possible.  Frequently  aid  is  necessary 
where  industries  are  expanding  and 
need  a  new  location  for  growth.  The 
work  of  the  department  has  pre- 
vented the  loss  f)f  several  such  in- 
dustries during  the  past  year  by 
assisting  them  in  securing  adequate 
room  for  expansion. 

The  department  is  steadily  at 
work  on  the  preparation  of  a  more 
comprehensive  commodity  index. 
When  completed  this  index  will  en- 
able any  inquirer  to  know  just  where 
locally  a  desired  article  can  be  pur- 
chased. This  type  of  service  is  re- 
quired constantly  of  the  department 
and  the  completion  of  the  Commod- 
ity Index  will  be  a  distinct  achieve- 
ment. 


MARINE 


DURING  1925  the  Marine  De- 
partment of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  re- 
reported  6,655  vessels  and  delivered 
2,258  docking  orders  to  inbound 
vessels  without  an  error  being  made 
and  without  a  single  complaint  being 
registered. 

These  figures  are  not  only  indica- 
tive of  the  rapid  expansion  of  San 
Francisco's  port  activities,  but  serve 
as  well  as  an  indication  of  what  is 
being  done,  day  and  night,  month  in 
and  month  out,  by  the  Marine  De- 
partment of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. 

The  extension  of  service  to  ship- 
ping by  the  Marine  Department  be- 
gins from  the  time  a  vessel  first  is 
sighted  by  the  department's  lookout 
at  Point  Lobos  until  the  ship  clears 
this  port  for  another  harbor.  A 
summarization  of  the  department's 
activities  will  show  they  are  mani- 
fold and  include : 

Keeping  members  posted  on  the 
movements  of  all  vessels  bound  to 
and  from  Pacific  Coast  and  Hawaiian 
ports;  reporting  arrivals  and  de- 
partures at  foreign  and  domestic 
ports;  advising  members  of  mishaps 
and  disasters  to  shipping;  the  regis- 
tration of  vessels  entering  this  port; 
reporting    the    arrival    of    vessels 


Continued 


owned  by  members;  advising  marine 
insurance  companies  and  adjusters 
of  marine  disasters,  services  for 
which  they  pay  monthly.  Incoming 
vessels  are  boarded  by  a  representa- 
tive of  the  Marine  Department  who 
obtains  the  master's  or  purser's  re- 
port of  the  voyage,  a  recapitulation 
of  the  cargo,  the  passenger  list  and 
any  other  information  that  might  be 
of  interest  to  members  and  ship- 
owners. 

General  shipping  information  is 
furnished  to  all  San  Francisco  news- 
papers. 

The  department  is  recognized 
generally  by  shipping  interests  as  an 
efficient  and  distinctive  unit  in  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce ever  on  the  alert  to  render  the 
maximum  of  intelligent  service. 


FOREIGN  TRADE 


SAX  FRANCISCO,  second  only 
to  New  York  among  American 
ports, is  essentially  a  commercial 
community  depending  upon  inter- 
change of  commodities  with  many 
foreign  countries  as  well  as  with 
cjther  sections  of  the  United  States 
for  the  profitable  business  which 
gives  to  San  Francisco  per  capita 
wealth  of  .S3,606,  the  highest  in  the 
United  States.  In  order  to  insure  the 
free  and  uninterrupted  flow  of  com- 
merce and  to  assist  in  increasing  its 
volume  a  central  agency  is  necessary 
to  represent  the  many  individual 
traders  as  a  group  in  those  matters 
which  must  necessarily  or  can  most 
expeditiously  be  handled  by  con- 
certed action.  The  Foreign  and  Do- 
mestic Trade  Department  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  functions  to 
accomplish  these  purposes. 

As  an  example,  the  standardiza- 
tion of  trade  practices  has  been  one 
of  the  objectives  consistently  advo- 
cated and  sui^ported  by  this  depart- 
ment. Ilunrlrcds  of  letters  have  been 
exchanged  with  foreign  Chambers  of 
Commerce  urging  their  official  ac- 
ceptance of  the  India  House  defini- 
tions of  C.  I.  F.,  F.  O.  B.  and  other 
price  quotations.  A  great  many 
favorable  replies  have  been  received 
and  thousands  of  copies  of  a  specially 
printed  Spanish-English  edition  of 
these  definitions  have  been  dis- 
tributed in  cooperation  with  the 
foreign  trading  houses  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. This  will  insure  the  free  flow 
of  commerce  and  forestall  disputes 
due  to  misunderstanding  and  conse- 
quent loss  of  good  will  and  profitable 
business.

Again,  the  Foreign  Trade  Depart- 
mpntdiscoveredthattheCiovernment 
regulation  which  allowed  (Canadian 
motor  tourists  only  30  days  bond- 
free  time  in  the  United  States  did 
not  give  them  enough  time  to  visit 
California.  Foreign  tourists  are  de- 
sirable, not  only  because  of  direct 
expenditures  during  their  stay,  but 
also  because  personal  contact  be- 
tween peoples  is  the  best  basis  for 
international  understanding  and 
leads  to  an  increased,  mutually 
profitable  interchange  of  commodi- 
ties. The  Foreign  Trade  Depart- 
ment took  up  this  matter  with  the 
propel  Government  officials  and  due 
largely  to  its  efforts  the  bond-free 
time  limit  has  been  extended  to 
ninety  days.  This  is  just  an  instance 
of  many  matters  of  this  kind  coming 
up  continually  for  the  attention  of 
the  Dejjartment. 

Questions  of  Policy 

Questions  of  policy,  especially  on 
matters  of  considerable  importance 
are  determined  by  the  action  of 
committees.  The  Foreign  Trade 
Committee  sponsored  the  clause  in 
the  recently  enacted  Revenue  Bill 
which  exempts  from  income  tax 
Ameiican  business  representatives 
living  in  foreign  countries.  The  Foi- 
eign  Trade  Department  then  co- 
operated with  other  agencies  in  sup- 
porting this  measure  as  a  step  to 
encourage  American  efforts  in  for- 
eign markets. 


The  very  successful  Fourth  .\n- 
nual  Convention  of  the  Pacific  For- 
eign Trade  Council  held  in  San 
Franci.sco,  March  4th  to  Gth,  was 
organized  by  and  had  its  head- 
quarters at  the  Foreign  Tiade  De- 
partment. These  meetings  are  im- 
portant in  bringing  foreign  traders 
together  to  discuss  questions  of 
common  interest,  typified  by  the 
.slogan  "Pacific  Coast  Unity  for 
World  Trade  Expansion."  They  are 
also  very  lieneficial  in  educating 
public  opinion  along  foreign  trade 
lines. 

Assists  Sound  Commerce 

The  Foreign  Trade  De|)artm('nt 
can  render  piactical  service  at  all 
times  to  local  and  foreign  firms  and 
it  is  ever  alert  to  assist  the  growth 
and  development  of  sound  commerce 
for  the  port  of  San  Francisco. 


INFORMATION  BUREAU 


THE  Information  Bureau  is, 
both  literally  and  figm-atively, 
the  Front  Door  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce.  It  is  here  that  hun- 
dreds of  tourists  and  San  Franciscans 
become  acquainted  with  the  organi- 
zation, utilize  its  facilities,  and  judge 
its  efficiency.  It  is  here  that  an 
average  of  one  hundred  and  sixty 
people  phone  daily,  asking  as  many 
difTerent  questions,  and  are  given  the 
desired  information.  It  is  to  this 
bureau  that  from  twelve  to  sixteen 


tnued 


hundred  people  write  monthly,  from 
all  over  the  world,  and  are  answered 
quickly  and  accurately. 

Every  kind  of  question  within  the 
stretch  of  human  imagination  comes 
to  this  bureau.  A  New  York  mer- 
chant wishes  live  California  crabs 
shipped  by  air  mail;  a  child  in  the 
Tennessee  mountains  needs  "a 
phamplet"  about  San  Francisco;  all 
are  given  courteous  and  correct 
answers  and  many  write  back  to  tell 
of  real  business  resulting. 

The  bureau  also  functions  as  the 
Statistical  Department  of  the  Cham- 
ber, keeping  up-to-date  records  of 
all  the  city's  business  indices,  as  well 
as  comparative  statistics  of  other 
cities  and  states.  The  bureau  assists 
local  business  houses,  newspapers, 
advertising  agencies,  and  numerous 
others  with  figures  for  reports,  ques- 
tionnaires, and  market  surveys,  and 
answers  several  hundred  out-of-town 
inquiries  of  the  same  type  annually. 

There  is  nothing  particularly 
spectacular  in  the  work  of  the  infor- 
mation bureau,  but  its  steady  day- 
in,  day-out  service  in  a  multitude  of 
small  ways  makes,  in  the  aggregate, 
a  total  in  friends  and  satisfied  cus- 
tomers that  is  impossible  to  calcu- 
late.

This  is  the  house  that  Service  built 
for  Sunset  Press 


OR  SIXTY  years  Sunset  Press  has 
specialized  on  printing  service  in 
San  Francisco.  ((Today,  as  a 
result  ot  that  service,  there  is 
building  and  rapidly  nearing 
completion  a  printing  plant  that 
promises  to  be  the  finest  our  West  can  boast. 
((Customers  from  every  state  west  of  the  Rockies 
brought  their  selling  and  printing  problems  to 
Sunset  Press.  This  they  did  knowing  that  Sun- 
set Press  was  more  than  an  assembly  of  the  most 
up-to-date  printing  machinery  and  skilled  printers. 
Experts  in  selling,  m  lay-outs,  m  art,  in  engraving, 
as  well  as  in  printing,  working  together  under  the 


same  root,  made  up  the  Sunset  printing  service 
staff.  These  customers  knew  that  their  problems 
would  be  studied  and  analyzed,  their  ideas  rein- 
forced with  those  gained  from  our  own  wide  expe- 
rience, and  the  whole  developed  into  a  successful 
selling  unit  or  campaign.  C^Sunset's  plant  has  always 
been  the  most  complete  in  the  West  but  Sunset 
printing  service  has  caused  Sunset  Press  to  out- 
grow even  the  best  plant  in  the  West.  Hence 
this  new  home  for  Sunset  Press,  being  built  now 
at  Sansome  and  Vallejo  Streets  in  San  Francisco. 
It  will  be  the  best  that  science,  industry,  mechan- 
ics, the  arts  and  money  combined  can  produce. 
It  IS  the  House  That  Service  Built  for  Sunset  Press.

It  is  only  natural  that  this

The  H.  K.  McCann  Com-

simultaneously,  wisely  co-ordi-

Only  a  truly  National  advcr-

Our  Float  at  Fresno's  Raisin  Festival 


A  reproduction  of  Old  Fort  Gunnybags  and  the  original  bell  that  summoned,  the  Vigilante  Committee  in  185(». 
float  was  the  entry  of  the  vSan  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  in  Fresno's  annual  pageant  last  week.     Th 
delegation  from  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  included  more  than  thirty  business  men.

NEW  RULES  GOVERNING 

TAX  APPEALS 

MKTHODS  of  procedure  for 
San  Francisco  taxpayers 
planning  appeals  under  the 
revised  1926  Revenue  Act  were  ex- 
plained at  a  luncheon  );iven  by  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  in  the  Com- 
mercial Club  Tuesday.  Three  mem- 
bers of  the  United  States  Board  of 
Tax  Appeals,  who  will  conduct  hear- 
ings in  San  Francisco  during  the 
next  two  weeks,  were  the  guests. 
They  were  Logan  Morris  of  Utah, 
acting  chairman,  C.  Rogers  Arundel 
and  W.  C.  Lansdon.

vigorously  recommended  by  the  San 


NOTICE 

Members  desiring  Extra  Copies 
of  the  11)26  Year  Book  Edition  of 
San  Francisco  Business  should  com- 
municate their  orders  to  the  Public- 
ity Department,  Kearny  1 12,  as  early 
as  possible.  There  are  a  limited 
number  of  copies  still  available. 


Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
relieves  San  Francisco  taxpayers  of 
the  necessity  of  going  to  Washington 
to  present  their  appeals.  Tin-  pre.sent 
hearings  are  being  conducted  in  the 
Supreme  Court  (.'hambers  at  the 
State  Building. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  HARBOR 

IMPROVEMENT    FUND 

TO  BE  RE-ALLOTTED 

WORD  just  received  from  the 
Washington  Bureau  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Conmierce  brings  assurance  that  the 
■flSO.OOO  allotted  to  San  Francisco 
Harbor  improvements,  and  tempor- 
arily withdrawn  to  meet  immediate 
demands  for  improvements  at  Toledo 
Harbor,  will  be  rc-allotte<l  from 
funds  to  be  appropriated  in  the  pend- 
ing War  Department  Apjjiopriation 
Bill.  This  is  gratifying  in  view  of  the 
local  Chamber's  interest  in  the  mat- 
ter and  insures  the  completion  of 
our  own  improvements  for  which  the 
money  was  originally  appropriated.

f  oast  is  accomplishod  with  the  loca- 
tion of  a  new  industn',  tho  Maypole 
Dye  Works  at  19th  and  Bryant 
streets,  by  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce. 

San  Francisco  ha-s  a  wool-scouring 
plant,  and  is  the  most  important 
knittinj;  renter  of  the  West  Coa.st, 
but  until  the  ("hamlwr  of  Commerce 
secured  this  new  industry  the  knit- 
ting concerns  suffered  long  delay.^ 
waiting  for  shipments  of  yarn  of  the 
exact  shade  needed. 

"With  the  establi.shment  of  this 
new  plant,  the  knitting  industry  of 
San  Francisco — turningout  sweaters, 
bathing  suits,  athletic  goods  and 
other  articles  made  of  yarn — finds 
that  a  long-felt  need  has  been  filled," 
said  ]{oy  T.  Bishop,  president  of  the 
Maypole  Company.  "For  instance, 
the  style  in  knitted  goods  changes 
fre(|uently  and  the  manufacturer  of 
these  goods  must  be  able  to  serve  the 
retailer  promptly.  If  a  certain  shade 
becomes  popular  the  local  manufac- 
turer cannot  afford  to  wait  for  weeks 
before  securing  his  supply  from  dis- 
tant factories.  Now  the  trade  will 
have  at  its  door  a  plant  which  can, 
on  short  notice,  turn  out  any  desired 
color  of  yarn." 

The  new  plant  will  be  the  largest 
of  its  kind  on  the  Pacific  Coa.st. 
There  are  thirty-nine  knitting  mills 
on  the  Pacific  Coast,  thirt.\'  of  which 
are  in  California,  five  in  \\'ashingt()n 
and  four  in  Oregon.  Of  the  fifteen  in 
the  San  Francisco  metropolitan  area 
nine  are  in  San  Francisco.

Chamber  Delegation  at  Cotton 
Convention 

A  delegation  representing  banks, 
foreign  trade  houses  and  transporta- 
tion lines  left  San  Francisco  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce to  attend  the  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  California-Arizona  Cot- 
ton Association  in  Fresno,  April  19 
and  20.  Major  problems  in  connec- 
tion with  the  financing  and  shipping 
of  the  cotton  crop  were  discussed, 
and  the  local  Chamber's  participa- 
tion in  the  convention  was  an  indica- 
tion of  its  keen  interest  in  the  de- 
\elopment  of  successful  marketing 
and  increased  production.

Our  Airport  Case  Presented 


CHAMBER  OF  COMMERCE 

ASKS  APPROPRIATION 

OF  $500,000 

FOLLOWING  up  its  campaign 
for  the  immediate  creation  of  a 
municipal  airport  for  San  Fran- 
cisco, the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
petitioned  the  Finance  Committee  of 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  on  Tues- 
day of  this  week  to  appropriate 
$500,000  toward  that  end. 

Representatives  of  the  Chamber 
presented  facts  to  the  city  officials 
that  cannot  well  be  ignored  if  this 
city  is  to  keep  pace  with  others  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  in  the  development 
of  airmail  and  commercial  aviation. 
The  delegation,  composed  of  the 
aerial  affairs  committee,  made  their 
presentation  of  San  Francisco's  need 
in  this  regard,  following  a  letter  pre- 
viously addressed  to  the  board  by 
Clay  ililler.  president. 

.\mcing  the  many  important  points 
emphasized  at  Tuesday's  meeting 
was  the  fact  that  one  corporation 
alone  is  prepared  to  establish  a 
.?350,000  aircraft  factory  in  San 
Francisco  once  the  airport  is  acquired. 

The  Chamljer  of  Commerce,  in 
urging  this  very  necessary  improve- 
ment, was  unanimously  supported 
by  the  local  press,  and  editorials 
calling  upon  the  supervisors  to  ap- 
jirove  the  project  were  introduced. 

Colonel  Frank  P.  Lahm,  com- 
mander of  the  Air  Service,  Ninth 
Corps  area,  and  a  member  of  the 
Chamber  committee,  reviewed  the 
technical  advantages  of  California, 
and  particularly  San  Francisco,  as  a 
flying  place  because  of  the  climate. 
He  said  that  reserve  officers  in  the 
Air  Service  had  done  more  flying 
here  than  in  anj'  other  part  of  the 
countrj-. 

Others  who  represented  the  Cham- 
l)er  of  Commerce  were  Dr.  Sterling 
Bunnell,  Captain  C.  W.  Saunders 
and  C.  A.  Fleming. 

The  board  t(jok  the  matter  under 
advisement. 


dS^w  Industries 
in  San  Francisco 


WILLEY-ELLIS  COMPANY. 
Another  Eastern  manufacturing 
concern,  the  Willey-Ellis  Company 
of  Philadelphia,  manufacturers  of 
laundry  machines,  has  chosen  San 
Francisco  for  its  distributing  center 
for  the  Pacific  Coast. 

"Our  firm  has  chosen  San  Fran- 
cisco as  its  Pacific  Coast  head- 
quarters," said  H.  H.  Bucholtz,  local 
manager,  "Ijecause  we  are  confident 
that  not  onl\'  today  is  San  Francisco 
the  center  of  Pacific  Slope  popula- 
tion and  distribution,  but  it  is  des- 
tined to  continue  to  be  such. 

"Whenever  a  man  from  the  Ea.st. 
who  is  accustomed  to  the  okler  in- 
dustrial sections,  sees  a  vast  virgin 
industrial  acreage  such  as  is  to  he 
found  today  down  the  peninsula,  ho 
at  once  recognizes  the  possibilities 
for  great  future  growth  and  develop- 
ment. 

"San  Francisco  has  every  essential 
for  industrial  greatness." 

According  to  Mr.  Bucholtz,  the 
Willey-Ellis  Company  already  has 
al)out  100  machines  in  operation  on 
the  coast  and  will  maintain  at  the 
factory  branch  a  full  stock  of  ma- 
chinery to  serve  the  Pacific  Coast 
trade. 

The  branch  is  located  at  112S 
Mission  Street. 

ALL-IN-ONE  GOLF  CLUB 
CORPOR  ATK  )N.  One  of  San  Fran- 
cisco's newest  industries,  the  All-in- 
One  Golf  CIuIj  Corporation,  at  60 
Federal  Street,  is  practically  readv 
to  begin  marketing  the  "Novak 
Club."  This  patented  golf  stick  may 
he  adjusted  .so  that  a  player  may 
play  the  entire  game  with  one  club. 


SECRETARY  WORK  TELLS 

GREAT  BENEFITS  OF 

BOULDER  DAM 

D(JCTOR  HUBERT  WORK, 
Secretary  of  the  Interior,  be- 
lieves in  government  owner- 
ship and  government  operation  of 
public  projects  only  when  they  can- 
not be  owned  and  operated  as  well 
and  as  economically  liy  private 
enterprise.  Broadly  speaking,  he 
says,  "The  Government  is  doing  too 
many  things  now — things  that  might 
better  be  handled  locally." 

The  occasion  of  these  remarks 
was  a  luncheon  in  the  Commercial 
Club  on  Tuesday,  at  which  Dr. 
Work  and  Dr.  Elwood  Mead  were 
guests  of  the  Club  and  the  Chambei- 
of  Commerce. 

Three  hundred  San  Francisco 
business  men  heard  Dr.  \\'ork  dis- 
cuss the  great   Boulder   Dam. 

Introduced  l)y  President  Clay 
Miller,  who  ijresided.  Dr.  Wf>rk  said : 
"I  would  be  willing  to  have  a  corpo- 
ration take  over  this  great  .'>;12.5.0U(),- 
000  project  if  a  company  liig  enough 
to  handle  it  could  be  found.  I  find 
that  the  people  of  Southern  Califor- 
nia are  all  of  one  mind  on  tlie  Colo- 
rado Dam  question,  and  that  the 
people  of  the  North  are  equally 
sympathetic.  My  investigations  have 
convinced  me  that  there  is  no 
Westei'n  state  that  will  not  be  bene- 
fited by  the  proposed  dam." 

Dr.  Mead,  U.  S.  Commissioner  of 
Reclamation,  said  that  there  have 
been  many  cases  where  the  Govern- 
ment has  had  to  supplement  private 
enterprise  in  great  reclamation  proj- 
ects. "But  the  Government,"  he 
said,  "is  gradually  getting  away 
from  the  actual  operation  of  them 
by  turning  them  over  to  co-operative 
organizations  of  farmers." 

Both  Di-.  Work  and  Dr.  Mead 
voiced  encouraging  statements,  not 
onlv  on  the  Boulder  Dam  project, 
but  on  the  «.50,000,000  salt  water 
barrier  for  the  upper  liay.

Association,  and  Atholi  McBean, 
foimer  president  of  the  Chamber. 

A  resolution  presented  by  Mr. 
Koster  was  seconded  by  Mr.  George 
Boardman,  president  of  the  Real 
Estate  Board,  and  unanimously 
adopted  by  those  present.  This 
urged  the  Board  of  Supervisors  to 
reconsider  its  resolution  pre\'iously 
passed,  asking  the  Ciiief  of  Police  to 
decline  further  police  protection  in 
premises  disturbed  b}'  the  present 
strike.  This  resolution  was  commun- 
icated to  the  Board  of  Super\isors 
by  representatives  of  many  civic 
organizations  that  had  attended  the 
morning  meeting.  The  Board,  after 
hearing  arguments  from  both  sides, 
dechned  to  change  its  position. 

The  resolution  presented  by  Mr. 
Koster  follows: 

"Whereas,  since  the  inauguration 
of  the  carpenters'  strike  on  April  1, 
1926,  hired  agents  of  the  Inter- 
national Brotherhood  of  Carpentei-s 
anti  Joiners  of  America  have  assault- 
ed and  beaten  and  in  many  instances 
severely  injm'ed,  more  than  fifty 
carpenters,  contractors  and  o^Miers, 
most  of  them  permanent  citizens  of 
San  Francisco ;  and  whereas,  the 
Police  Department  of  San  Francisco, 
in  performing  its  duty  to  maintain 
law  and  order,  has  incurred  the 
enmity  and  animosity  of  the  Inter- 
national Brotherhood  of  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  of  America,  \vith  head- 


President  Miller's  Statement 

Following  i^  the  slalf//irn(  of  Cluij  Miller,  presitjeni  of  the  San  Francisco 

Chamber  of  Commerce,  with  reference  to  the  preserit  labor  controversy  in 

San  Francisco: 

I  Have  a  certain  respoasibility  in  voicing  an 
official  statement  from  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  at  this  time.  The 
long  list  of  men  who  have  formed  the  back- 
ground for  this  institution  have  never  failed  to 
rise  with  firm  resolve  in  every  succeeding 
emergency  bravelyand  justly  to  meet  conditions 
which  have  imperiled  the  welfare  and  progress 
of  San  Francisco. 

The  purposes  for  which  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce was  formed  and  for  which  it  is  maintained 
are  to  advance,  foster  and  encourage  domestic 
and  foreign  trade,  commerce  and  industry  and 
to  promote  the  public  and  commercial  interests 
and  welfare  of  the  city  of  San  Francisco  and  the 
Slate  of  California. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  cannot  fail  to 
take  very  serious  cognizance  of  the  present 
situation.  The  public  and  commercial  interests 
and  the  welfare  of  the  city  are  in  jeopardy.  The 
Chamber  of  Commerce  is  not  opposed  to  unions 
as  such  nor  to  the  organization  of  men  who 
labor.  The  progress  and  development  of  the 
men  who  work  with  their  hands  and  of  their 
families  is  of  prime  importance  to  the  welfare 
of  any  communitj*.  If  there  be  any  union  man 
within  sound  of  my  voice  he  knows  or  can 
ascertain  the  many  occasions  in  the  past  when 
I  have  been  in  a  position  to  show  some  under- 
standing and  much  sympathy  with  the  orderly 
efforts  of  union  men  to  better  their  condition. 
But  when  any  group  of  men,  union  or  otherwise, 
take  the  stand  that  they  are  above  the  law,  they 
then  are  undermining  and  Jeopardizing  their 
own  very  existence;  they  are  jeopardizing  the 
welfare  of  the  community  in  which  they  exist, 
and  they  must  be  halted  in  such  effort. 

The  question  which  we  are  here  considering 
is  not  a  proposition  to  deny  the  right  or  orderly 
association  of  men  into  lawful  unions.  There  L^ 
here  no  question  of  hours  or  pay  involved. 


The  Chamber  of  Co 
principle  that  no  body  of  men  or  organization 
has  the  right  to  deprive  other  men  of  the  oppor- 
tunity to  work.  The  fixed  and  historic  promise 
of  America  Is  equality  of  opportunity.  When 
that  promise  fails  America  ceases  to  be  a  land 
of  freedom.  It  was  Herbert  Hoover  who  said 
that  we  shall  safeguard  to  every  individual  an 
equality  of  opportunity  to  take  that  position  in 
the  community  to  which  his  intelligence,  char- 
acter, ability  and  ambition  entitle  him;  that  we 
shall  keep  the  social  solution  free  from  frozen 
strata  of  classes. 

Here  to  day  in  San  Francisco  a  small  group 
of  misguided  men,  by  intimidation,  threat  and 
violence,  arc  seeking  to  down  this  great  Ameri- 
can principle. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  stands  for  indus- 
trial peace,  for  the  tranquillity  of  our  people  and 
for  taw  and  order.  These  principles  have  been 
violated  and  outraged.  Our  people  are  aroused. 
.\  great  building  program  b  before  us.  The 
work  will  proceed.  There  has  been  introduced 
i  n  the  Board  of  Supervisors  an  ordinance  denying 
the  Chief  of  Police  protection  of  our  people 
against  disorder  and  illegality — denying  him  the 
right  to  protect  life  and  property  in  premises 
disturt>ed  in  this  dispute. 

We  have  a  right,  as  law-abiding  and  interested 
citizens  of  San  Francisco,  to  demand  the  up- 
holding of  the  laws  and  the  protection  of  life 
and  property  by  the  duly  constituted  authori- 
ties. We  have  a  right  to  demand  that  our 
judges  perform  their  sworn  duty  without  favor 
and  without  prejudice.  There  is  no  compromise 
«ith  the  rights  of  free  men;  there  must  be  no 
interference  with  the  orderly  progress  and  up- 
building of  San  Francisco.  Law  and  order  arc- 
demanded.  The  industrial  freedom  of  San 
Francisco  will  not  be  throttled. 


quarters  at  Indianapolis ;  and  where- 
as, the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  San 
Francisco  on  Monday,  April  26, 
passed  a  resolution  condemning  the 
Police  Department  for  its  efforts  to 
pre.serve  law  and  order  in  this  city; 
and  whereas,  said  resolution  is  up  for 
reconsideration  before  said  Board  of 
Supervisors  on  this  afternoon,  Mon- 
day, May  3,   1926;  now,  therefore. 


**Be  it  resolved  that  this  public 
mass  meeting  of  thousands  of  busi- 
ness men  of  San  Francisco,  in  the 
interest  of  the  citizens  whose  lives 
and  property  are  endangered  by 
reason  of  the  lawlessness  now  being 
practiced  by  the  agents  of  the  Inter- 
national Brotherhood  of  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  of  America,  does  vigor-

Tidures  by  IVire^  a  TSlew  Service 

"By  WALTER  S.  REED,  'J'adfic  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Co. 


THK  plec'trical  transmission  of 
liictures  has  attracted  the  at- 
tention and  curiosity  of  scien- 
tists and  engineers  for  a  great  nianj' 
years.  The  reduction  to  successful 
practice,  however,  required  the  per- 
fection of  methods  for  the  faithful 
transmission  of  electric  signals  over  a 
long  distance,  and  the  development 
(if  spi'cial  apparatus  and  methods 
which  have  become  a  part  ot  the 
conmiunication  art  within  the  last 
few  years.  Prominent  among  newer 
developments  which  have  made  trans- 
mission possible  are  the  photoelectric 
cell,  the  vacuum  tube  amplifier  and 
electrical  filters  and  the  use  of  carrier 
currents. 

In  the  year  1847  an  attempt  was 
made  to  make  two  cylinders  rotate 
at  opposite  ends  of  a  telegraph  line 
at  the  same  rate  of  speed.  A  metal 
stylus  at  the  sending  end  propelled 
a  similar  stj'lus  at  the  receiving  end. 
A  sketch  indented  on  a  sheet  of  tin- 
foil actuated  the  transmitter  and  a 
chemically  treated  sheet  of  paper 
became  stained  by  the  current  at 
the  place  of  reception.  The  method 
was  crude,  limited  as  to  possibilities 
and   not  adapted   to  jihotographj-. 

For  years  the  Research  Labora- 
tories of  the  American  Telephone  & 
Telegraph  Company  and  the  West- 
ern Electric  Company  have  been 
working  on  a  practical  and  commer- 
cially feasible  way  of  sending  real 
photographs.  Picture  transmission 
has  not  been  achieved  through  the 
inventiveness  of  any  one  genius  but 
by  the  teamwork  of  many  fine  minds 
focussetl  on  a  single  purpose. 

The  first  demonstration  of  Tele- 
photography was  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  public  during  the 
Inauguration  Exercises,  held  on 
March  4,  1925,  in  AVashington,  D.  C. 
Special  picture  transmitting  equip- 
ment was  installed  at  that  time  and 
pictures  of  the  ceremonies  were 
transmitted  from  Washington  to 
New  York,  Chicago  and  San  Fran- 
cisco simultaneously,  and  were  pub- 
lished in  the  papers  ahnost  before 
the  function  was  over. 

The  results  of  the  pictures  were 
amazing  to  the  public  and  went  down 
in  history  as  the  eighth  wonder  of 
science. 

When  we  reduce  the  transmission 
of  pictures  to  its  simplest  elements 
we  find  that  there  are  three  essen- 
tial factors  which  must  be  taken  into 
consideration. 


Picture  taken  bv  Xorth  American  Newspaper  > 
\ew  }urk  to  Sc 

The  first  is  some  means  of  trans- 
lating lights  and  shades  of  a  picture 
into  some  characteristic  of  electric 
current;  the  second  is  an  electrical 
transmission  channel  capable  of  car- 
rying the  characteristics  of  the  elec- 
tric current  faithfully  to  the  required 
distance;  the  third  is  a  means  of 
re-translating  the  electric  signals  as 
received  into  lights  and  shades  cor- 
responding in  relative  values  and 
positions  with  those  of  the  original 
picture. 

Analyzed  for  purposes  of  electrical 
transmission  a  picture  consists  of  a 
large  number  of  small  elements  each 
of  a  uniform  brightness.  The  trans- 
mission of  an  entire  picture  necessi- 
tates some  method  of  tracing  these 
elements  on  the  film.  The  method 
used  with  the  present  apparatus  is 
to  prepare  the  picture  as  a  trans- 
parent film  which  is  bent  in  a  form 
of  a  cyhnder.  The  cyhnder  is  then 
mounted  on  a  carriage  which  is 
moved  along  on  its  axis  by  means 
of  a  screw  at  the  same  time  the  film 
cylinder  is  rotated.  The  small  spot 
of  Ught  thrown  upon  the  film  is  thus 
caused  to  traverse  the  entire  film 
area  in  a  long  spiral.  The  light  pass- 
ing into  the  interior  of  the  cylinder 
then  varies  in  intensity  with  vary- 
ing shades  of  the  picture.  The  oper- 
ation and  movement  of  this  cylinder 


lliance  and  transmitted  bv   Tetephotograph  from 
I  Francisco. 

may  be  visualized  in  your  mind  as 
similar  to  that  of  the  old  type  of 
Edison  cylindrical  phonograph  rec- 
ord. In  order  to  obtain  music  it  was 
necessary  to  have  a  needle  traverse 
the  entire  siu^face  of  the  record  in  a 
long  spiral  manner;  in  place  of  using 
the  needle  to  scan  the  entire  surface 
of  the  film  transparency  for  picture 
transmission  a  fine  point  of  light  is 
used. 

The  task  of  transforming  this  light 
and  varying  intensity  into  a  variable 
electric  current  is  performed  by 
means  of  a  photoelectric  cell  which 
consists  of  such  chemical  properties 
as  potassium  and  alkah. 

Under  illumination  the  alkali 
metal  gives  off  electrons,  so  that 
when  the  two  electrodes  are  con- 
nected with  an  external  circuit  the 
cuiTent  flows.  This  current  is  direct- 
ly proportional  to  the  intensity  of 
the  illumination  and  the  response 
to  variations  of  light  is  instantan- 
neous.  This  cell  is  placed  inside  the 
cylinder  formed  by  the  photographic 
film  which  is  to  be  transmitted.  As 
the  film  cyhnder  is  rotated  and  ad- 
vanced the  cell  throws  off  electrons 
in  accordance  with  the  varying  den- 
sity of  the  picture.  The  telephone 
line  then  carries  the  electric  current 
to  its  required  destination  and  at

San  Francisco,  California.  May  12,  1926 


Every  Voter  Must  Register  Before  July  31 


REGISTRAR  Harry  Ze- 
mansky  tells  us  that  San 
Francisco's  registrations 
to  date  approximate  140,000. 
Press  rei)orts  from  Los  An- 
geles estimate  the  registra- 
tions in  the  southern  metrop- 
olis at  more  than  half  a  mil- 
lion. 

This  disparity  does  not  rep- 
resent the  difference  in  the 
populations  of  the  cities,  nor 
does  it  reflect  the  civic  miiid- 
edness  of  their  peoples. 

Los  Angeles'  tremendous 
registration  is  the  result  of  an 
aggressive,  cooijerative  cam- 
paign carried  on  by  all  of  its 
civic  organizations.  It  is  the 
result  of  an  intensive  drive 
in  which  every  interest,  big 
and  little,  in  the  city  has  done 
its  part. 

The  ]3eo]jle  of  San  Fran- 
cisco have  no  civic  duty  that 
is  more  imjjortant  at  this  par- 
ticular time  than  to  vote,  and 
they  cannot  vote  unless  they 
have  re-registered  this  year. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  urged,  and  again  urges, 
that  each  of  its  members  regis- 
ter now.  Registrations  for 
the  primary  elections  will  close 
on  July  31,  and,  as  said  be- 
fore, no  one  can  vote  in  these 
elections  who  has  not  regis- 
tered specifically  for  them.

Celebrating  the  Victory  Highway 

'^y  D.  V.  NICHOLSON,  cAssistant  Secretary  California  State  cAutomohile  oAssociation 


MARKING  the  opening  of  a 
new  era  of  motor  tourist 
travel  to  Northern  and  Cen- 
tral California,  a  great  motor  caravan 
organized  by  the  leading  civic  and 
commercial  organizations  in  this 
section  of  the  state  will  leave  San 
Francisco  on  J  une  9  for  a  tour  over 
the  Victory  Highway  to  Salt  Lake 
City. 

The  caravan,  a  business  man's 
sociabihty  event,  will  be  in  the 
nature  of  a  dual  celebration.  It  will 
review  the  accomplishments  in  im- 
proving the  Victory  High  waj' through 
Nevada  and  western  Utah  as  the 
result  of  financial  a.ssistance  given 
by  Northern  and  Central  California 
through  the  Utah-Nevada-Calif  ornia 
Highway  Association  and,  at  the 
same  time,  it  will  celebrate  the 
official  opening  of  the  famed  Truckee 
River  State  Highway  project  be- 
tween Donner  Lake  and  the  Nevada 
state  line. 

Ready  for  Tourists 

The  idea  of  the  caravan,  which 
will  call  nation-wide  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  Victory  Highway  is  now 
ready  to  carr_v  motor  tourist  travel 
directly  to  this  section  of  California 
and  give  widespread  publicitv  to  the 
completion  of  the  scenic  Truckee 
River  Highway,  was  originated 
jointlyby  W.  H.Goodin  of  Lovelock, 
Nevada,  president  of  the  Overland 
Trail  Club,  and  Wally  B.  Gelatt  of 
Donner  Lake.  It  is  being  organized 
by  civic  leaders  and  good  roads  en- 
thusiasts of  Northern  and  Cen- 
tral California. 

Co-operating  in  the  organization 
of  the  caravan  are  Frederick  H. 
Meyer,  chairman  of  the  Good  Roads 
Committee  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Conmieree  and  president 
of  the  L'tah-Nevada-Calif  ornia  High- 
way Association;  Carl  Lamus,  chair- 
man of  the  Good  Roads  Committee 
of  the  Sacramento  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce; George  S.  Forderer,  director 
of  the  California  State  Automobile 
Association  and  of  the  LHah-Nevada-

J.  Brunnier,  chairman  of  the  Auto- 
mobile Association's  Highways  Com- 
mittee, and  C.  C.  CottreU,  manager 
of  its  Highways  Bureau.

SAN   FRANCISCO  UlSINESS,  MAY   12.   HIL'fi 


Replacing  C/4nother  Old  Landmark 


ANOTHER  landmark  eloquent 
/\  of  the  San  Francisco  of  an 
earlier  day  is  gone,  but  the 
spirit  and  purposes  to  which  it  was 
dedicated  will  be  given  new  and 
magnified  expression  in  the  structure 
that  is  to  arise  on  its  site. 

Already  the  outlines  of  the  new 
structure  are  liegiiining  to  take  shape 
at  the  strategic  site  it  will  occupy  at 
the  northwest  cf)rner  of  California 
and  Montgomery  streets,  intersec- 
tion that  ha.s  ever  been  the  financial 
hub  of  San  Francisco  and  thus  the 
Pacific  Coast.  Gone  is  the  last  ves- 
tige of  the  stone  building — the  his- 
toric old  Parrott  Block — that  housed 
Wells  Fargo's  first  office  and  which 
served  as  a  clearing  house  for  ship- 
ments of  gold  mined  in  the  Sierra. 

Only  a  memory  now  remains  of 
this  unique  structure,  erected  in 
1851,  which — as  the  tourist-guide 
always  pointed  out  to  his  all-absorb- 
ing auditors — was  cradled  in  China, 
wheie  the  stone  blocks  which  f;i.sh- 
ioned  it  were  hewn  from  quarries. 
The  same  Chinese  stone  workers,  it 
was  invariably  added,  came  across 
with  the  cargoes  in  clipper  ships, 
and  for  the  standard  wage  of  a  pound 
of  fish,  a  pound  of  rice,  and  a  dollar 
a  day,  put  the  blocks  into  place. 

Fired  by  the  same  resolute  spirit 
and  comprehending  vision  that  in- 
spired the  pioneers  of  the  early  '50s, 
a  group  of  San  Francisco  business 
men  recently  incorporated  in  this 
state  the  California-Montgomery 
Company  and  have  undertaken  the 
erection  of  a  modern,  fifteen-story, 
class  "A"  office  building,  which  will 
be  called  the  Financial  Center 
Building,  a  name  richly  deserved  in 
view  of  its  broad  frontages  in  both 
California  and  Montgomery  streets. 
The  structure,  when  completed,  will 
have  a  value,  with  the  real  estate,  in 
excess  of  $3,000,000. 

To  finance  the  construction  an 
issue  of  $2,000,000  first  mortgage 
bonds  was  recently  underwritten  by 
a  strong  group  of  investment  bankers 
headed  by  Peirce,  Fair  &  Co.  and 
Bond  &  Goodwin  &  Tucker,  Inc., 
and  distributed  through  a  large 
group  of  security  dealers.  The  bonds, 
which  are  serial,  will  be  a  closed 
mortgage  on  the  property.  Thus, 
another  important  forward  step  has 
been  taken  in  the  modernizing  of 
Montgomery  Street  and  in  stressing 
anew  the  dominating  place  this 
pivotal  corner  occupies  in  the  realm 
of  finance.  The  building  is  scheduled 


i-story  Financial  Center  Building  now  und 
California  and  Montgomery  Street! 


to    be   ready   for   occupancy   early 
next  year. 

Those  who  have  undertaken  this 
important  enterprise  include  Louis 
Bloch,  president  Crown  Willamette 
Paper  Co.,  Gustavo  Brenner,  capi- 
talist, Felix  Kahn  and  Allan  Mac- 
Donald  of  MacDonald  &  Kahn,  R. 
S.  Shainwald,  vice-president  and 
general  manager  Paraffine  Com- 
panies, Inc.,  and  James  Tyson,  presi- 
dent Charles  Nelson  Co.  The  archi- 
tects of  the  building  are  Meyer  & 
Johnson  and  the  contractors,  Mac- 
Donald  &  Kahn. 

The  ground  floor  corner  will  be 
occupied  by  the  brokerage  house  of 
Logan  &  Bryan,  whose  offices  were 
in  the  same  situation  in  the  old 
structure. 


r5^w  Industries 
in  San  Francisco 


LACTEIN  COMPANY,  640Sixth 
street,  presents  an  interesting  in- 
stance of  a  local  concern  creating 
a  new  industry  to  manufacture  a 
by-product  which  would  otherwise 
go  to  waste.  A  new  plant,  costing 
$50,000,  with  an  annual  capacity  of 
700  tons,  has  been  constructed  to 
manufactui'e  lactic  acid.  So  far  as 
is  known,  this  is  the  first  commer- 
cial lactic  acid  plant  on  the  Pacific 
Coast.

Leadership  in  the  organization  of 
the  caravan  in  California  has  been 
undertaken  by  the  California  State 
Automobile  Association  at  the  invi- 
tation of  W.  H.  Goodin,  who  origi- 
nated the  plan  of  the  caravan. 
George  S.  Forderer,  director  of  the 
Automobile  Association  whoaccepted 
the  invitation  on  behalt  of  the  Asso- 
ciation, has  designated  C.  C.  Cottrell, 
manager  of  the  Association's  High- 
ways Bureau,  to  undertake  the 
active  work  of  organizing  the  cara- 
van and  making  detailed  arrange- 
ments. Mr.  Goodin  is  in  charge  of 
the  organization  work  in  Nevada, 
and  George  J.  Martin,  director  of 
the  Salt  Lake  City  Chamber  of 
Commerce  and  Commercial  Club,  is 
making  the  arrangements  for  the 
tour  of  the  caravan  through  Utah. 

According  to  plans  announced 
this  month  by  Mr.  Cottrell  the 
caravan  will  leave  San  Francisco  on 
the  morning  of  June  9.  Frederick  H. 
Meyer,  captain  of  the  day,  will  pilot 
the  caravan  of  cars  to  Sacramento 
where  luncheon  will  be  served  at

HORACE  GRKELEY  was 
rifrht.  He  ^ave  the  young  man 
good  avice  when  he  urged  him 
to  go  West. 

Businessmen  of  the  West,  less 
hidebound  by  tradition  and  preju- 
dices than  their  Eastern  Ijrethren, 
perhaps,  are  steeped  in  the  pioneer 
spirit  which  blazed  new  trails  in  the 
days  of  the  Argonauts.  They  do  not 
demand  precedent  for  everything 
they  do.  And  they  don't  wait  for  the 
other  fellow  to  start  things. 

In  San  Francisco,  since  the  gold 
rush  days  the  commercial  center  of 
thi>  l':icif]c  Coast,  your  merchant 
ever  has  been  a  progressive.  He  has 
foresight,  sagacity  and  courage. 
Without  these  qualities  one  cannot 
do  business  and  succeed. 

About  six  years  ago  two  brothers, 
Ben  and  Lester  Rice,  met  in  a  St. 
Paul  hotel  and  hatched  a  get-rich- 
quick  scheme  that  would  have  given 
Wallingford  a  post-graduate  degree 
in  chicanery.  Lester  Rice  owned  a 
knitting  mill  at  Winnipeg,  Manitoba.

50    POST   ST. 
SAN  FRANCISCO 


Inc.  of  Phoenix,  Arizona,  purchased 
goods  of  a  value  of  more  than 
§150,000,  mostly  in  the  East.  He 
came  to  San  Francisco  and  purchased 
about  $20,000  worth  of  merchan- 
dise. 

By  forced  sales  Ben  Rice  quickly 
converted  his  nierchan(li.se  into  mon- 
ey and  .sent  the  greater  part  of  it  by 
his  wife  to  his  brother  Lester  in  Win- 
nipeg. The  merchants  from  whom 
the  goods  were  piu-chased  were  not 
paid. 

The  San  Francisco  Board  of  Trade 
took  action.  It  was  proposed  that  all 
the  merchants  who  had  sold  to  Rice 
and  had  not  been  reimbursed  assess 
themselves  to  raise  a  fund  to  insti- 
tute court  proceedings.  Eastern 
merchants,  the  heavy  losers,  refused 
to  co-operate.  Perhaps  they  thought 
it  would  be  sinking  gootl  monev  on 
top  of  bad.  They  turned  in  $800  to 
the  fund — a  bagatelle.  The  San 
Francisco  merchants,  who  had  lost 
only  $20,000,  assessed  themselves 
$4000.  The  Board  of  Trade  of  San 
Francisco  s|)ent  $22,000  and  recently 
won  a  clean  cut  victory,  a  judgment 
in  favor  of  the  trustee  in  bank- 
ruptcy for  $7.5,000  having  been 
rendered. 

In  the  bankruptcy  proceedings 
the  referee  found  a  shortage  of 
$88,000,  which  he  ordered  paid  over 
to  the  trustee. 

M  the  suggestion  and  through  the 
efforts  of  the  attorney  for  Board  of 
Trade,  Joseph  Kirk,  suit  was  insti- 
tuted in  Winnipeg  against  Lester 
Rice  for  an  accounting  of  all  money 
or  property  received  by  him.  There 
was  a  vigorous  contest  on  the 
ground  that  the  Canadian  courts 
lacked  jurisdiction,  the  suit  having 
been  instituted  by  an  American 
bankruptcy  coiu't  trustee.  The  court 
ruled  favorably  to  the  trustee,  estab- 
lishing another  precedent — that  a 
fraudulent  American  debtor  cannot 
place  the  proceeds  of  his  dishonesty 
beyond  the  pale  of  his  American 
creditors  by  conveying  the  proceeds 
to  Canada. 

Then  this  situation  developed: 
Ben  Rice  quarreled  with  Lester  over 
division  of  the  stolen  gains  and 
finally  made  clean  breast  of  the 
entire  conspiracy.  Ben  Rice  and  his 
wife  testified  in  the  trustee's  suit 
against  Lester  Rice.  The  action  oc- 
cupied the  attention  of  the  court  for 
several  months  and  became  a  cause 
celebre. 


The  recovery  of  the  money  stolen 
from  the  merchants  of  San  Francisco 
and  the  merchants  of  New  York 
could  not  have  been  accomplished 
except  by  court  action,  and  the  fact 
that  the  Easteiiers,  who  had  the 
most  to  gain — or  recover — contrib- 
uted only  $800  to  the  fund  rai.sed  for 
that  purpose,  and  the  further  fact 
that  the  court  proceedings  were 
handled  by  the  Board  of  Trade  of 
■San  Francisco,  leads  logically  to  the 
conclusion  that  but  for  the  San 
Francisco  merchants  the  Rice  broth- 
ers would  have  gotten  away  with 
murder — not  literally,  of  course,  but 
figuratively  speaking. 

There  are  adjustment  bureaus 
called  boards  of  trade  in  the  East, 
but  there  might  not  have  been  if  the 
West  had  not  invented  the  system. 
And  here  again  the  San  Francisco 
merchants  were  the  pioneers. 

The  Board  of  Trade  of  San  Fran- 
cisco is  not  only  the  oldest  institu- 
tion of  its  kind  in  the  United  States 
but  also  does  the  largest  volume  of 
business.  It  was  founded  in  1877 
and  was  known  for  the  first  year  or 
so  as  the  Merchants'  Protective 
Association.  In  those  days  San 
Francisco  was  a  pioneer  city,  more 
or  less  isolated,  the  center  of  a  well 
defined  territory.  It  was  a  large  job-

bing  center  and  debtors  who  were 
unable  to  pay  their  bills  used  to 
come  to  town  and  make  the  best 
settlements  they  could  with  their 
creditors.  They  might  pay  one  man, 
who  was  "easy,"  40  cents  on  the 
dollar,  and  another,  who  was  "hard" 
60  cents. 

To  cure  this  condition  as  well  as 
to  protect  themselves  in  bankruptcy 
proceedings  by  making  thorough 
examinations  of  bankrupts,  and  to 
make  sure  the  creditors'  rights  were 
conserved,  the  wholesale  merchants 
of  the  city  formed  an  association. 
Other  Pacific  Coast  cities  followed 
San  Francisco's  lead — Los  Angeles, 
Portland,  Seattle,  Spokane.  In  recent 
years  the  plan  has  been  taken  up  by 
the  cities  of  the  East. 

Although  a  non-profit  sharing 
co-operative  association,  during  the 
forty-eight  years  of  its  existence,  the 
Board  of  Trade  has  accumulated  a 
treasury  fund  of  .»176,779.94.  This 
fund  is  a  guarantee  for  those  who 
file  the  claims  with  the  board  and 
an  assurance  of  the  stability  and 
continuity  of  the  organization.  It  is  a 
fund  that  is  drawn  on  whenever 
necessary  to  investigate  fraudulent 
failures  and  prosecute  dishonest 
debtors.  It  is  a  very  large  and  power- 
ful organization — all  the  big  whole- 
sale houses  of  the  city  stand  back  of 
it.  The  board  stands  for  integrity 
in  business.  It  will  not  countenance 
an  out-of-court  settlement  unless  the 
failure  was  an  honest  one.  At  the 
same  time,  it  is  the  principle  of  the 
board  to  assist  and  conserve  honest 
debtors.  Its  members  will  not  act 
individually. 

If  a  retail  merchant  fails  for  lack 
of  sufficient  capital  or  because  of  too 
keen  competition  or  because  he  lacks 
capacity  as  a  merchant — achieves 
an  honest  failure,  in  other  words — 
the  Board  of  Trade  steps  in  for  the 
protection  of  its  membership  and  for 
the  protection  of  the  man  who  has 
gone  to  the  wall  as  well.  He  is  not 
forced  into  court,  is  not  compelled 
to  go  through  bankruptcy  if  that 
can  be  avoided.  Out  of  court  ad- 
justments can  be  made  at  far  less 
expense  than  in  court.  The  last 
annual  report  of  the  board,  for  the 
year  ending  March  31  last,  rendered 
by  W.  M.  Levensaler  of  Dunham, 
Carrigan  &  Hayden,  who  was  at 
that  time  its  president,  shows  the 
expenses  of  administration  through 
all  Board  of  Trade  cases  averaged 
9.3  per  cent;  expenses  of  adminis- 
tration through  Board  of  Trade 
transfer  cases — analogous  to  bank- 
ruptcy— averaged  15.4  per  cent,  and 
expenses  of  administration  b_y  the 
banki-uptcy  courts  averaged  31.9 
per  cent. 


The  financial  condition  of  the 
board  not  only  is  shown  by  the 
treasury  balance  of  $176,779.94  but 
also  by  "the  fact  that  while  $20,9.59.50 
was  spent  last  year  for  prosecution 
of  fraudulent  debtors — $5,000  more 
than  was  spent  for  the  same  purpose 
during  1924 — there  was  an  increase 
in  surplus  last  year  of  about  $11, 000. 

That  the  way  ol  the  transgressor 
is  as  hard  as  a  concrete  highway  is 
indicated  by  the  history  of  the  fraud 
cases  prosecuted  last  year  by  the 
board.  The  outline  of  the  French 
Shop  case  has  been  given.  Ben  Rice 
has  lost  all  of  his  ill-gotten  money 


and  Lester  Rice  asserts  he  has  been 
bankrui'ted  liy  the  litigation.  His 
knitting  mill  company  has  been 
forced  into  liquidation  and  wound 
up.  Criminal  charges  against  the 
Rices  and  some  of  their  attorneys 
are  pending  and  extradition  pro- 
ceedings loom. 

The  Nathan  Stein  case  and  the 
Chinese  cases  furnish  further  exam- 
ples of  the  accomplishments  of  the 
board  during  1925. 

Stein  began  doing  business  with 
$15,000,  purchased  more  than  $50,- 
000  worth  of  goods,  and  bankruptcy

Problems  of  Communication  on  the  Pacific 

"By    V.    S.    McCLATCHY 


THE  Directors  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerco 
have  been  interested  for  some 
years  in  the  suljject  of  improvement 
of  co'nmiunication  facilities  on  and 
across  the  Pacific,  and  particularly 
in  .securing  adequate  service  and  a  low 
rate  for  news,  realizing  that  only  by 
such  means  can  there  be  established 
and  maintained  daily  news  reports 
of  an  adequate,  independent  and 
reliable  charact<'r,  and  that  upon 
such  reports  must  depend  the  main- 
tenance of  friendly  understanding 
and  the  development  of  commercial 
relations  between  the  I'nited  States 
and  the  countries  of  Asia.  In  addi- 
tion our  interests  in  Ala-ska,  Hawaii 
and  the  Philippines  must  suffer, 
obviously,  without  comnmnication 
of  the  charat^ter  referred  to.

the  latter  ocean  16  cables  and  a 
number  of  radio  .circuits,  with 
prompt  service  and  a  general  news 
rate  of  .seven  cents  per  word,  insure 
the  interchange  of  adequate  news 
reports  between  this  countrj'  and 
the  various  countries  of  Europe.  For 
communication  acro.ss  the  Pacific, 
however,  this  country  is  dependent 
on  a  single  cable  from  San  Francisco 
to  Shanghai,  via  Honolulu,  Guam 
and  Manila,  with  a  Japanese  con- 
nection from  ("luam  to  Tokyo.  The 
rate  for  transmission  of  news  by  this 
cable  is  from  twenty-seven  cents  to 
thirtv  cents  per  word  without  any 
guarantee  as  to  delivery,  and  delay 
in  consequence  which,  with  the  pro- 
hibitive rate,  prevents  establishment 
of  news  reports.  Kailio  communi- 
cation between  San  Francisco  and 
Tokyo  is  maintainetl  under  joint 
arrangement  between  the  Radio 
Corporation  of  America  and  the 
Communication  Department  of  Ja- 
pan, with  a  rate  of  twenty-seven 
cents  per  word  for  news.  Because  of 
this  situation,  and  to  maintain  com- 
munication with  the  Philippines, 
Congress  has  authorized  the  use  of 
Navy  radio  for  news  communication 
with  Manila  at  six  cents  per  word 
since  1920. 

Special  Committee 

In  view  of  the  importance  of  the 
subject  the  Directors  of  the  C^ham- 
ber  recently  appointed  a  special 
Committee  on  Communication  to 
make  an  investigation  of  conditions 
on  the  Pacific  and  recommend  to 
the  Chamber  from  time  to  time  sug- 
gestions as  to  measures  for  improve- 
ment of  the  service.  The  attention 
of  the  committee  at  present  is  con- 
centrated on  two  matters — the  res- 
toration by  Congress  of  authority 
to  the  Navy  to  use  its  radio  facilities 
on  the  Pacific  for  transmission  of 
commercial  messages  between  points 
not  served  by  privately  operated 
stations,  an  authority  withdrawn  in 
1925 ;  and  the  adoption  of  a  proposed 
low  news  rate  for  radio  transmission 
between  San  Francisco  and  Tokyo. 

The  inability  to  use  Navy  radio 
for  transmitting  commercial  mes- 
sages will  have  serious  consequences. 
At  present,  pending  an  opinion  from 
the  U.  S.  Attorney  General,  the 
Communication  Department  of  the 
Navy  is  rendering  this  service  when 
called  upon,  but  it  is  understood  the 
anticipated  opinion  will  necessitate 


discontinuance  of  the  service  in  ab- 
sence of  affirmative  action  by  Con- 
gress. It  was  believed  the  necessary 
provision  would  be  contained  in  the 
general  radio  bill,  but  that  bill  was 
passed  In-  the  House  without  the 
necessary  amendment.  Through  ef- 
forts of  Senator  Hiram  W.  .lohn.son 
an  amendment  of  the  character  re- 
quired has  been  inserted  in  the 
Senate  substitutes  for  the  bill,  and 
it  is  understood  the  House  conferees 
will  accept  this  amendment.  There 
is  floubt,  however,  as  to  passage  of 
any  one  of  the  general  radio  bills, 
notwithstanding  the  urgent  neces- 
sity therefor,  in  view  of  the  chaos 
which  would  otherwise  ensue  in 
broaflcasting.  There  is  a  difference 
of  opinion  as  to  where  the  control 
of  radio  broadcasting  should  rest, 
whether  with  the  Secretary  of 
Commerce,  or  with  some  existing 
commission,  or  in  a  new  special 
commission  to  be  created. 

"The  Army  and  Navy 

Our  communication  with  Alaska 
is  dependent  on  co-operation  be- 
tween the  communication  depart- 
ments of  the  Army  and  Navy,  the 
Army  transmitting  by  cable  from 
Seattle  to  Seward,  Alaska,  and  dis- 
tribution of  messages  being  made 
from  that  point  to  the  interior  by 
Army  radio  and  to  coast  points  by 
Navy  radio.  Should  the  Army  cable 
be  out  of  commission  temporarily, 
the  Navj'  would  transmit  bj'  radio 
from  San  Francisco  to  Seward,  and

past,  the  Navy  radio  would  offer  the 
only  means  of  direct  communication 
between  the  United  States  and  the 
Philippines. 

News  Communication 

In  the  matter  of  news  communi- 
cation with  Japan  the  cable  con- 
nection furnishes  transmission  for 
news,  without  any  guarantee  as  to 
delivery  sufficient  for  news  purposes, 
at  thirty  cents  per  word.  News  may 
be  sent  by  radio  with  better  service 
at  twenty-seven  cents  per  word. 
Either  rate  is  prohibitive  for  regular 
news  reports.  Recently  the  Direc- 
tors of  the  Radio  Corporation  of 
America,  at  the  instance  of  the 
President,  General  Harbord,  awak- 
ened to  a  realization  of  the  fact  that 
commercial  relation.s  l)ot^V(M■n  this 
country  and  Japan  and  incidentally 
their  own  traffic,  can  best  he  built 
up  by  an  interchange  of  regular  news 
reports  impossible  under  the  existing 
rate.  Accordingly,  an  offer  has  been 
made  on  behalf  of  the  corporation  to 
establish  a  deferred  rate  of  ten  cents 
for  news  between  Tokyo  and  San 
Francisco,  if  the  Communication 
Department  of  Japan  will  consent 
thereto.  This  rate,  under  the  propo- 
sition, would  subject  matter  sent  to 
a  possible  delay  of  forty-eight  hours 
in  the  event  of  congestion  in  com- 
mercial traffic  created  by  excess  of 
news  offered. 

Makes  a  Precedent 

While  the  plan  therefore  does  not 
offer  ideal  conditions  for  news  re- 
ports it  woukl  insure  transmission 
of  adequate  reports  on  most  days 
in  the  month  at  least  and  would 
establish  a  precedent  which  would 
undoubtedly  pave  the  way  for  un- 
restricted service  and  delivery  at 
this  established  rate. 

It  is  with  this  idea  that  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  is  calling  the 
matter  to  the  attention  of  Japanese 
diplomatic  and  commercial  interests 
in  this  country  with  the  suggestion 
that  they  make  investigation  thereof 
and  advise  the  Japanese  Govern- 
ment of  the  manifest  advantages  to 
Japan's  interests  which  would  follow 
inauguration  of  the  plan.  In  this 
matter  the  Chamber  is  enlisting  co- 
operation of  other  Chambers  on  the 
coast,  and  of  other  interests.

found  S43,000  was  owing  creditors, 
with  only  S20.000  worth  of  iner- 
chandi.'ie  on  hand.  G.  W.  Brainard, 
wcretary  of  the  txiard,  as  trustee  in 
liaiikruptcy,  Ijrought  suit  to  recover 
.*3S,000  from  a  number  of  merchant.s 
who  were  charged  with  having  ol>- 
tained  goods  of  that  value  from 
Stein.  When  Henry  Ach.  chief  coun- 
sel for  the  tnt'itee.  died,  Francis  J. 
Heney,  famous  prosecutor  of  the 
tcraft  cases  in  San  Francisco,  was 
appointed  as  his  successor.  Last 
summer  Stein,  Paul  Schainman  and 
others  were  indicted  by  the  Federal 
<  Irand  Jurj'  for  conspiracy  to  de- 
fraud the  Stein  creditors  and  his

will  be  pressed  to  trial  shortly. 

A  reading  of  the  Chinese  cases, 
deeply  involved,  brings  to  mind 
Bret  Harte's  poem  concerning  the 
"heathen  Chinee."  It  is  sufficient 
to  say  that  certain  Chinese  mer- 
chants of  Stockton,  Sacramento, 
Modesto  and  Vallejo  were  prosecuted 
civilly  in  the  Federal  Courts  by  Judge 
L  M.  Golden  in  the  name  of  the 
bankruptcy  trustees  and  that  while 
the  cases  have  not  been  finally  ad- 
judicated there  is  every  reason  to 
believe  the  result  will  be  favorable 
to  the  board.  Indictments  against 
the  Chinese  merchants  are  pending 
in  the  Federal  Court.

this  distant  point  it  is  necessarj'  to 
have  the  third  element,  which  is  a 
devise  for  re-translating  the  electric 
current  into  lights  and  shades.  This 
is  accomplished  by  the  device  which 
is  termed  a  light  valve.  The  latter 
consists  of  a  narrow  ribbon-like  con- 
ductor lying  in  a  magnetic  field  in 
such  a  position  as  to  entirely  cover 
the  small  aperture.  The  incoming 
current  passes  through  this  ribbon 
which  in  consequence  deflects  to  one 
side  by  the  interaction  of  the  current 
with  the  magnetic  field,  thus  ex- 
posing the  aperture ;  the  light  passing 
through  this  opening  is  thus  varied 
in  intensity.  It  then  falls  upon  a 
photographic  sensitive  film  bent  into 
a  cylindrical  form  synchronized  with 
the  cylinder  at  the  transmitting  end. 
The  film  will  be  exposed  by  amounts 
varying  in  proportion  to  the  lights 
and  shades  of  the  original  picture. 

The  process  in  developing  the  re- 
ceived picture  is  carried  on  in  the 
same  manner  as  the  development 
of  any  other  photographic  film. 

The  actual  time  for  the  tran.smis- 
sion  of  a  picture  from  New  York  or 
Chicago  to  San  Francisco  is  just 
seven  minutes.  The  standard  size 
picture  prepared  for  transmission  is 
5x7  inches. 

This  simple  manner  of  picture 
transmission  has  been  put  to  use  by 
the  public  in  a  great  many  com- 
mercial ways,  although  it  might  be 
said  that  the  newspapers  at  the  pres- 
ent time  are  using  the  service  to  a 
greater  extent  than  apy  other  line 
of  business.  This  is  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  public  is  no  longer  satisfied 
with  news  in  story  form  alone,  pre- 
ferring pictures  of  events  which  have 
a  wider  appeal,  and  are  perhaps 
more  impressive  than  the  use  of 
ordinary  text. 

The  most  rapid  means  in  the  past 
years  of  getting  pictures  to  the  local 
newspapers  has  been  by  carrying 
them  by  regular  mail,  air  mail,  or 
special  airplane  service  between  the 
points  concerned.  This  process  in- 
volved so  much  delay  that  in  most 
cases  the  news  value  of  the  picture 
was  largely  lost  before  it  could  be 
printed,  the  story  having  been 
printed  from  one  to  several  days 
earlier,  but  telephotography  elimi- 
nates delays  as  experienced  in  the 
past,  and  gives  the  pubHc  the  pic- 
tures with  the  story. 

On  Octobers,  1925,  the  American 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company 
demonstrated  to  United  States  Gov- 
ernment Army  officials  the  possi- 
bility of  using   telephotography  in 


connection  with  war  maneuvers. 
Special  transmitting  equipment  was 
set  up  at  Fort  Leavenworth,  Kansas. 
Thirty-seven  minutes  after  the  cam- 
era clicked  in  the  government  air- 
plane flying  over  Fort  Leavenworth, 
the  picture  was  in  the  hands  of  Com- 
manding Generals  in  New  York, 
Chicago  and  San  Francisco.  This 
was  made  possible  by  a  new  type 
kodak  which  took  the  picture  and 
developed  it  in  the  air.  The  film  was 
then  dropped  from  the  airplane  over 
the  telephotograph  operating  room 
at  Fort  Leavenworth  and  trans- 
mitted to  the  three  cities  mentioned 
simultaneously. 

Bond  dealers  are  showing  a  great 
deal  of  interest  in  the  subject  as  they 
recognize  the  possibilities  of  the  serv- 
ice in  connection  with  the  trans- 
mitting of  bond  circulars  and  adver- 
tising matter. 

Bond  dealers  state  that  telepho- 
tography expedites  the  release  of 
bond  circulars  to  the  public,  saving 
from  two  to  four  hours.  The  possi- 
bility of  errors  and  delays  which 
occur  in  using  any  other  method 
of  communication  is  ehminated. 

It  is  the  common  expression  of 
the  men  connected  with  telepho- 
tography that  anything  that  can  be 
photographed  can  be  transmitted, 
such  as  hand  writing,  printed  mat- 
ter, line  drawings,  maps  and  many 
other  subjects  which  may  be  brought 
to  your  attention. 

The  value  of  electrically  trans- 
mitting pictures  in  connection  with 
police  work  has  been  recognized 
since  the  earliest  days  of  experiments 
in  the  transmission  of  pictures. 

Besides  transmitting  portraits  of 
wanted  individuals  to  all  distant 
points  it  is  now  possible  to  send 
finger  [irints  as  well. 

In  .Inly,  1 1)2.5,  the  New  York  City 
Police  Dcpartnientselected  the  finger 


print  of  a  criminal  who.se  complete 
identification  data  was  on  file  in  the 
Police  Department  in  San  Francisco. 
This  single  finger  print  together  with 
the  exact  description  of  the  prints 
of  all  fingers  was  transmitted  to  San 
Francisco  and  identified  by  the  ex- 
perts there  almost  instantly. 

Advertising  companies  have  found 
the  service  to  be  of  great  advantage 
in  their  work  when  correction  of 
advertising  copy  is  called  for  at  a 
distant  city.  In  this  event  the  cor- 
rected copy  can  be  made  up,  and 
the  picture  transmitted  to  the  city 
waiting  for  verification,  thereby  en- 
abling them  to  carry  on  their  adver- 
tising campaign  without  delay. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  American 
Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company 
within  the  very  near  future  to  ex- 
pand the  service  and  install  equip- 
ment in  other  cities  other  than  New 
York,  Chicago  and  San  Francisco 
where  the  apparatus  at  the  present 
time  is  operating  on  a  commercial 
basis.

ii.itiims  met  and  dined  with  the 
l)usincss  men  of  San  Francisco, 
Nearly  four  score  of  students  were 
Ijresent,  including  a  number  of  co- 
eds. There  were  students  of  com- 
merce, banking,  transportation,  civil 
engineering,  mechanics  and  electri- 
cal engineering,  doctors,  lawyers, 
dentists,  nurses,  scientific  agricul- 
turists, and  those  training  for  diplo- 
matic service.  For  each  student  there 
was  a  host  or  hostess  representing 
San  Francisco. 

Milton  H.  Esberg,  toastmaster, 
wa.-i  introduced  by  President  Clay

gratulated the  student  graduates.

the  United  States  tends  to  bring 
about  a  more  sympathetic  under- 
standing between  this  nation  and 
other  countries  of  the  world,"  said 
Mr.  Esberg.  The  response  for  stu- 
dent graduates  was  made  by  Ray- 
mond K.  Nagayama  of  Japan,  grad- 
uate of  the  University  of  California, 
who  is  returning  to  his  native  land 
as  the  representative  of  a  large  Ameri- 
can automotive  manufacturing  com- 
pany. "The  L'nited  States  is  the 
biggest  cu.stomer  of  Japan  in  its 
foreign  trade  and  the  students  who 
go  back  to  their  homes  in  Japan 
will  carry  with  them  a  message  of 
good  will,"  said  Mr.  Nagayama. 
"We  want  to  solve  the  problems  of 
economy  in  Japan  and  we  want  to 
assist  all  Asiatic  nations  to  adopt 
a  new  position  in  our  political  re- 
lations that  will  be  founded  on 
mutual  respect." 

The  next  speaker,  Frederick  J. 
Koster,  spoke  on  "Messengers  of 
Good  Will."  In  introducing  Mr. 
Koster,  the  toa.stmaster  pointed  out 
that  he  is  particularly  qualified  to 
give  an  address  on  behalf  of  the 
business  interests  of  California,  since 
he  is  in  the  highest  sense  of  the 
word  a  "Captain  of  Industry."  The 
place  of  foreign  trade  as  an  agent 
of  international  good  will  was  brought 
out  by  Mr.  Koster.  The  interchange 
of  commodities  tends  toward  broader 
understanding,  appreciation  of  dif- 
ferent points  of  view,  and  the  dis- 
semination of  knowledge.  The  grad- 
uating students  returning  to  their 
homes  after  receiving  their  degrees 
in  American  colleges  are  "messen- 
gers of  good  will"  who  know  us 
from  a  point  of  view  of  four  years 
intimate  association.  These  students 
are  bound  to  become  the  leaders  of 
their  own  countries  within  a  few 
years  and  the  knowledge  they  have 
gained  of  the  life  and  thought  in 
the  United  States  will  react  in  a 
highly  favorable  manner  to  the  se- 
curity of  world  peace  and  the  in- 
crease of  world  prosperity. 

A  student  from  Latin-America, 
Angel  D.  Aguerrevere,  of  Venezuela, 
who  is  graduating  from  Stanford 
University,  talked  on  his  impressions 
of  American  Ufe  and  educations. 
"The  United  States  is  50  years  older 
and  consequently  a  more  advanced 
repubUc  than  are  the  republics  of 
Latin-America,"  said  Mr.  Aguer- 
revere, "but  we  are  following  right 
in  the  footstep  of  you  North  Ameri- 
cans. The  points  of  similarity  be-

Tells  of  Unusual 

growth  of  Oslo 

'By  NILS  VOLL,  T^rwtgian  Cousiit 

OSLO,  the  present  capital  of 
Norway,  was  founded  in  the 
year  1047.  It  is  estimated  to 
have  265,000  inhabitants,  but  if  the 
population  of  greater  Oslo  and  sub- 
urbs be  included  it  stands  at  about 
500,000. 

The  foreign  trade  of  Oslo  is  of 
great  importance,  the  value  of  the 
same  having  in  1924  reached  878 
millions  of  kroner,  of  which  the  im- 
ports amounted  to  more  than  667 
millions. 

Oslo  has  splendid  communications 
with  the  outside  world.  Railway  Unes 
run  in  all  directions — inland  to  Bre- 
\ik.  Kongsberg,  ^'alders  ^'alley, 
Aandalsnes,  Trondhjem  and  Sunnan 
etc..  and  abroad  to  Stockholm, 
(iothenburg,  Copenhagen  and  the 
continent. 

As  it  is  universally  known,  .ship- 
ping is  one  of  the  principal  trades 
in  Norway,  and  Oslo's  share  in  it  is 
preponderant.  Apart  from  the  regu- 
lar services  to  the  Norwegian  cities 
along  the  coast,  there  are  regular 
steamship  lines  from  Oslo  to  the 
Baltic,  to  all  the  countries  round 
the  North  Sea,  and  the  Mediter- 
ranean, to  the  Far  East,  Africa, 
Australia,  and  to  both  the  Atlantic 
and  Pacific  coasts  of  North  and 
South  America. 

Has  Modern  Equipment 

Oslo  has  an  excellent  harbor  with 
modern  equipment,  and  is  never 
clcsed  by  ice.  The  length  of  the 
quays  available  for  ocean-going 
steamers  is  more  than  12.000  metres, 
and  the  floor  area  of  the  various 
warehouses  is  about  50,000  square 
metres.  Without  payment  of  port 
duties  goods  may  be  entered  in  bond, 
laid  u]i  and  even  manipulated.  No 
harbor  in  the  world  is  better  pro- 
tected by  nature.  No  heavy  storms 
or  tidal  disturbances  can  interfere 
with  the  traffic. 

The  country  about  Oslo  is  one  of 
the  richest  and  most  fertile  parts  of 
Norway.  The  industrial  develop- 
ment of  that  part  of  the  country  is 
of  great  importance,  as  cheap  elec- 
tric power  for  industrial  and  other 
purposes  is  available.  Consequently 
many  raw  materials  are  needed  and 
imported  from  abroad.  But  the  im- 
ports of  Oslo  do  not  only  serve  for 
u.se  in  Norway;  many  of  the  im- 
ported products  are  sent  to  other 
lands  for  consumption. 


A  circle  with  a  radius  of  300  miles, 
drawn  with  Oslo  as  center,  covers 
an  area  in  Norway,  Sweden  and 
Denmark  with  from  seven  to  eight 
million  inhabitants.  If  you  draw  the 
circle  so  as  to  have  a  radius  of  500 
miles  it  will  include  the  Baltic  States, 
Northern  (n'ruiany.  Northern  Eng- 
land and  Scotland.  This  proves  that 
Oslo  is  an  idi'ul  distributin!;;  center 
for  the  trade  of  Xortlicrn  Europe. 
The  geographical  situation,  the  nat- 
ural resources  and  the  climate  of 
that  part  of  the  North  seem  to 
indicate  that  Oslo  is  predestinated 
for  a  great  commercial  development. 


To  Importers  of  Animal 
Fertilizers 

According  to  advices  received  by 
the  Foreign  and  Domestic  Trade 
Department  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  the  Bureau 
of  Animal  Industry  has  issued  an 
amendment  modifying  Section  9  of 
B.  A.  I.  Order  286,  governing  the 
importation  of  animal  fertilizers, 
bags  used  as  containers,  and  empty 
bags.  This  amendment  is  to  be 
effective  July  1,  1926.  Full  informa- 
tion regarding  it  can  be  secured  from 
Dr.  H.  H.  Hicks,  Inspector  in  charge 
of  the  local  office  of  the  Bureau  of 
Animal  Industry,  216  Customhouse,

Street  Railway  Co.,  taxicab  opera- 
tors and  other  interested  parties. 

At  present  incoming  passengers 
desiring  taxicabs  are  obligeil  to  walk 
half  a  block  from  their  trains,  and 
then  wait  (often  in  the  rain)  for  the 
machines  which  are  parked  on  the 
opposite  side  of  railroad  tracks. 

In  all  other  large  cities  throughout 
the  country,  travelers  can  step  from 
their  trains  into  waiting  taxis,  and 
in  manj"  cayes  driveways  for  this 
service  are  extended  into  the  depot 
buildings. 

Three  plans  have  lieen  formulated 
by  the  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  following  meetings 
during  the  last  two  months  with 
representatives  of  the  raikoad  com- 
pany and  others.  One  calls  for  the 
parking  of  taxicabs  in  the  space 
directly  in  front  of  the  depot  on 
Third  Street,  now  reserved  for  hotel 
busses.  A  second  plan  is  contingent 
upon  the  removal  of  the  Market 
Street  railway  spur  track  on  Town- 
send  Street  which  now  obstructs 
parking  on  that  street ;  and  the  third, 
and  possibly  most  logical,  plan  pro- 
poses the  construction  of  a  semi- 
circular driveway  into  the  Townsend 
Street  side  of  the  depot  building. 
This  latter  plan  will  necessitate  the 
removal  of  the  baggage  room  to  a 
new  location. 

With  reference  to  the  operation 
of  hotel  busses,  the  Traffic  Bureau 
of  the  Chamber  of  (^ommcrce  points 
out  that  San  Francisco  is  practically 
the  only  large  city  in  the  I'nited 
States  that  continues  their  use. 
These  bu.sses,  according  to  the 
Chamber,  are  no  longer  considered 
a  service  to  hotel  guests  and  are  an 
unnecessary  expense  to  their 
operators.

Chamber's  Importance  Told 
By  S.  F.  Editor 

[continued  from  page  19) 

up  the  numerous  and  important 
business  groups  in  our  city  life.  They 
have  been  unanimously  nominated 
by  the  special  tiomiiiating  commit- 
tee to  be  balloted  for  as  directors. 

"Frederick  ,1.  Koster  served  as 
chairman  of  the  nominating  com- 
mittee, and  in  the  selection  of  the 
nominees  there  co-operated  with 
him,  R.  W.  Co.stello,  Miltfin  H. 
Esberg,  Charles  W.  Fay,  Rudolph 
Volmer,  J.  B.  Levison,  and  Walton 
N.  Moore. 

"This  body  of  men  is  a  credit  to 
the  community  and  to  the  whole 
state.  The  Chamber  of  Commerce  of 
San  Francisco  is  one  of  the  most 
important  bodies  in  public  life  today. 
It  deserves  the  high  regard  of  the 
community  for  the  work  which  it 
has  accomplished  and  is  already 
noted  throughout  the  world  for  the 
admirable  skill  which  it  has  shown 
in  the  recent  development  of  this 
city. 

"If  we  regard  the  future,  it  may 
be  said  without  exaggeration,  that 
upon  the  work  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  depends  in  a 
great  degree  the  progress  and  the 
wealth  of  the  whole  Pacific  Coast; 
for,  ajs  this  city  conducts  itself,  so 
will  the  power  of  the  state  and  nation 
grow.  The  future  is  with  us  and  we 
are  fortunate  to  have  guidance  so 
.sagacious."

t'oniincrcial  lactic  acid  is  used  in 
the  tanning  industry  and  in  the  dye- 
ing of  textiles.  The  refined  product 
is  used  in  making  soft  drinks,  jams 
and  jellies. 

The  original  plant  of  the  Lactein 
( 'onipany  which  itself  is  compara- 
tively a  new  industry  here,  having 
begun  business  in  San  Francisco  in 
March,  1923,  uses  waste  milk  prod- 
ucts, such  as  skim  milk  and  butter- 
milk, together  with  low-grade  waste 
sugar,  manufacturing  these  into  a 
poultry  food.  The  lactic  acid  de- 
scribed is  a  bj'-product  resulting 
from  the  manufacture  of  the  poultry 
food. 

STEEL  CONSTRUCTION 
COMPANY.  This  company  was 
organized  last  December  and  has 
leased  a  new  plant  located  200  Paul 
Avenue.  This  new  industry  fabri- 
cates .structural  steel,  steel  for  bridges 
and  jail  w-ork  and,  in  addition  makes 
Ralston   trailers. 

Expansions 

GRAND  RAPIDS  FURNITURE 
COMPANY.  In  addition  to  the 
building  occupied  101  Kansas  street, 
this  firm  has  leased  the  entire  build- 
ing at  Spear  and  Mission  streets, 
formerly  occupied  by  William  Cluff 
&  Company — wholesale  grocers — 
adding  40,000  square  feet  to  their 
floor  space.  This  expansion  has 
doubled  the  firm's  facilities  for  han- 
dling business.  The  new  building  will 
be  used  principallj'  for  show  rooms 
and  offices. 

KINGAN  &  COMPANY,  446 
Drumm  street,  meat  packers,  have 
found  their  brand  so  popular  that 
they  have  been  forced  to  expand 
and  are  spending  .S3.5,000  to  install 
cold  storage  faciUties  and  a  ham 
boiling  plant.  The  increased  facili- 
ties will  give  this  San  Francisco  in- 
dustry a  capacity  of  from  twelve  to 
fifteen  million  pounds  per  vear. 

W.  P.  FULLER  &  CO.  This 
large  San  Francisco  concern,  at  301 
Mission  street,  is  now  constructing 
a  three  story  shop  building  at  its 
plant  in  South  San  Francisco  at  a 
cost  of  $75,000 — this  being  an  addi- 
tion to  the  color  department.  The 
new  addition  will  be  completed  about 
August  1st. 

EASTMAN  KODAK  COM- 
PANY, 241  Batteiy.  Another  proof 
that  San  Francisco  is  the  logical 
distribution  center  for  the  Pacific 
Coast  is  found  in  the  recent  expan- 
sion of  the  local  plant  of  the  East- 
man Kodak  Company  at  a  cost  of 
S150,000  exclusive  of  land.  The  ad- 
dition, together  with  the  finishing 
of  the  third  floor  of  the  old  unit,  has 
doubled  the  capacity.  The  entire 
third  floor  will  be  devoted  to  a  labo- 
ratory for  the  finishing  of  home  mov- 


ing picture  films.  This  laboratory 
will  develop  these  films  for  the  entire 
Pacific  Coast.  When  the  addition  is 
completed,  about  June  1,  the  build- 
ing will  have  three  street  frontages. 
J.  G.  POMEROY  CO.,  51  Fed- 
eral street,  electrical  supplies,  are 
about  ready  to  occupy  their  new 
warehouse  on  Folsome  street  near 
Sixth  which  has  been  constructed  at 
a  cost  of  S18,000. 


Revenue  Freight  Loading 

Revenue  freight  loading  the  w'eek 
ended  April  24  totaled  973,304  cars, 
as  comjiared  with  964,935  cars  the 
preceding  week  and  961,186  and 
878,387  cars  in  the  corresponding 
period   of   1925   and    1924,   respec- 


tively, according  to  the  car-service 
division  of  the  American  Railway 
Association. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  is  in  receipt  of  a 
Bulletin  from  the  National  Diver- 
sion and  Reconsignment  Committee 
announcing  a  hearing  in  Chicago, 
May  20th,  on  the  proposal  of  the 
rail  carriers  to  publish  tariff  charges 
of  $2.25  and  $2.70  per  car  on  grain, 
seeds,  hay  and  straw  held  for  in- 
spection at  points  other  than  tracks 
which  are  designated  as  final  delivery 
for  the  shipments  involved.

Ecuador  Consul  general 

Issues  Statement  on 

'Bank  Closing 

THE  ForeiE;n  Trade  Department 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  received  a  statement  from 
the  Consul  General  of  Ecuador,  Jos6 
Y.  Seminario,  which  throws  some 
light  on  the  complicated  financial 
situation  following  the  closing  of 
the  Banco  Comercial  y  Agricola  of 
(luayaquil,  and  the  attendant  diffi- 
culties experienced  by  local  export- 
ers. 

The  statement  reads:  "I  beg  to 
state  that  this  Consulate  has  received 
absolutel.^'  nothing  authoritative  in 
regard  to  the  closing  of  the  Guaya- 
quil banks.  Nevertheless  we  under- 
stand through  private  conamunica- 
tions  that  the  following  is  more  or 
less  the  true  state  of  affairs. 

"The  Ecuadorian  Government 
jiermits  the  emission  by  the  banks 
of  two  paper  sucres  for  every  gold 
sucrcs  deposited  in  its  vaults.  Owing 
to  various  reasons  it  was  felt  that 
this  law  was  being  evaded  and  some 
of  the  banks  had  exceeded  this  ratio 
of  two  to  one  in  issuing  bank  notes. 
"Also  due  to  the  fact  that  circu- 
lating mediums  have  been  scarce  the

banks  have  used  a  system  of  certified 
bank  checks  lor  paying  depositors. 
The  Government  advised  that  this 
was  illegal  and  gave  the  bank  notice 
that  these  checks  should  be  with- 
drawn from  circulation.  This  was 
done  by  most  of  the  institutions, 
but  four  did  not  comply  within  the 
limited  time  set  by  the  state  and 
were  ordered  closed  until  the  law 
was  complied  with.  Within  forty- 
eight  hours  all  the  banks  with  the 
exception  of  the  Banco  Agricola,  had 
resumed  operations  compl^-ing  with 
the  law;  the  exception,  the  Banco 
Agricola  Comercial  either  refused 
to  obey  the  law  or  was  unable  to 
meet  payments  without  recourse  to 
these  checks  and  so  has  remained 
closed.  Its  assets  and  liabilities  are 
being  investigated  and  its  collec- 
tions, payments,  and  other  business 
are  being  handled  by  the  Bank  of 
Ecuador.  The  Government  con- 
sidered this  closure  a  safeguard, 
stating  that  should  the  bank  be 
sound,  investigation  would  not  hurt 
its  standing,  and  should  there  be 
found  evidences  of  an  excess  in  the 
emission  of  bank  notes  the  people 
will  be  protected  by  having  the  as- 
sets of  the  bank  used  to  back  up  the 
value  of  the  bank  notes  given  with- 
out authorization."

twcon  the  republics  of  North  ami 
South  America  arc  much  more  nu- 
merous and  of  far  greater  con.'ic- 
quence  than  are  the  points  of  vari- 
ance, despite  the  Anglo-Saxon  back- 
ground of  the  one  and  the  Iberian 
liackground  of  the  other." 

Dr,  Rem.sen  D.  Bird,  president 
of  Occidental  College,  spoke  on  for- 
eign students  at  American  univer- 
sities. He  illustratefl  his  theme  of 
world  interchange  of  ideas  by  a 
story  told  to  an  American  .school- 
mate by  a  Chinese  boy.  The  Chinese 
told  of  u.sing  chop  sticks  twelve  feet 
long  at  a  great  banquet.  The  Ameri- 
can boy  a-sked  how  it  was  possible 
til  get  food  to  one's  mouth  with 
such  long  uten,sils,  to  which  the 
(  hinese  bfjy  replied  that  there  was 
11(1  difficulty  involved  since  cver)'- 
oiie  reaches  into  the  big  bowl  in 
the  center  of  the  table,  picks  out 
the  choicest  piece  and  giv'es  it  to 
his  frien<l  across  the  talile.  "We  may 
liy  analogy  extend  the  story  to  in- 
clude the  Pacific  and  to  apply  to 
international  education,"  ,saiil  Dr. 
Bird.  "There  are  now  more  than 
10,000  students  in  American  uni- 
versities and  since  the  war  the  num- 
ber grows  every  year  as  foreign  stu- 
dents are  seeking  learning  in  the 
United  States  instead  of  going  to 
continental  universities  of  Euroiie 
as  in  the  past.  These  students  do 
not  represent  a  desire  for  self-tlis- 
tinction  or  self-development  as  much 
as  they  flo  devotion  to  an  ideal  of 
promoting  unity  among  the  nations 
of  the  earth.  Many  of  them  sacrifice 
themselves  in  going  back  to  their 
native  lands  but  they  do  it  to  foster 
that  peace  which  is  built  on  in- 
telligence." 

The  toastmaster  next  introduced 
Dean  Frank  H,  Probert  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Mining,  University  of  (Cali- 
fornia, who  delivered  the  farewell 
address  to  the  foreign  graduate  stu- 
dents. Dean  Probert  told  the  stu- 
dents that  deep  devotion  to  the  true 
interests  of  their  respective  coun- 
tries should  be  their  highest  am- 
bitions, and  would  in  the  aggregate 
best  serve  the  interests  of  the  whole 
world.  Then  he  bid  them  farewell. 

Clay  Miller  closed  the  banquet  by 
expressing  the  appreciation  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce for  the  honor  accorded  the 
Chamber  by  the  students  for  allow- 
ing the  business  community  of  San 
Francisco  to  be  host  to  them  at 
their  graduation.  He  requested  the 
students  to  take  home  with  them 
the  good  will  of  the  entire  com- 
munity and  to  bring  us  messages 
from  their  countries  when  next  the.A' 
visited  ours.

New  San  Francisco  Federal  Building  Near 


CONFERENCE  REPORT  IN 

SENATE  ADOPTED; 

$1,000,000  AIM 

PLANS  launched  by  the  Cham- 
ber of  Conimerce  to  obtain  a 
new  federal  building  for  San 
Francisco  were  further  advanced 
this  week  when  the  United  States 
Senate  adopted  the  conference  report 
on  the  new  §165,000,000  pul)lic 
buildings  bill. 

Mrs.  Julius  Kahn,  congresswonian, 
replying  to  telegrams  from  the 
Chamber  as  to  progress  of  the  build- 
ing program,  stated  that  she  has  had 
several  conferences  with  .lames  A. 
Wet  more,  supervising  architect  of 
the  treasury  department,  an<l  that 
the  latter  is  cognizant  of  San  Fran- 
cisco's need  of  a  new  federal  build- 
ing. 

The  Senate's  action  in  adopting 
the  report  as  amended  in  conference 
lirings  final  passage  near.  Amend- 
ments authorize  the  secretarv  of  the 
treasury  to  allocate  8100,000.000  in- 
tended for  new  buildings  to  the  vari- 
ous states  on  the  basis  of  area,  popu- 
lation and  postoffice  receipts. 

San  Francisco's  chances  of  obtain- 
ing a  new  federal  building  are  re- 
garded as  excellent. 

As  the  premier  port  of  the  Pacific, 
with  extensive  federal  activities  re- 
quiring quarters.  San  Francisco's 
postoffice  receipts  for  1925  amounted 
to  $8,132,898.75. 

A  conference  of  local  federal 
officials  and  leaders  in  commercial 
affairs  held  here  several  months  ago 
agreed  the  Appraisers  Building,  in 
the  Washington  and  Battery  street 
district,  is  in  need  of  $75,000  repairs 
and  an  entire  new  liuilding  is  needed, 
probably  in  the  district  near  Seventh 
and  Mission,  to  relieve  congestion  of 
(lovernment  quarters  in  the  present 
structure  at  Seventh  and  Mission 
streets.  The  cost  of  such  a  building  is 
placed  at  S750,000  or  .51,000,000. 

The  possible  sale  of  the  old  sub- 
treasury  property  at  Pine  and  San- 
some  streets,  also  has  figured  in  pre- 
liminarv  conferences. 


TO  RALLY  VOTERS 

The  Chamber  has  appointed  a 
conmiittee  to  stimulate  interest  in 
the  registration  of  voters  in  San 
Francisco,  and  to  impress  them  with 
the  responsibilities  of  citizenship. 
The  committee  is  composed  of  Jesse 
Steinhart,  John  J.  Cuddy  and  J.  Y. 
Costello.

HI-: 


annual  dinner 
ami  ralljr  of  the 
( "hamber    of    Com- 

iiiiTce  at  the  Palace 

Hotel  next  Tuesday  evening 
])romises  to  be  the  most  im- 
pressive and  representative 
gathering  of  business  and  in- 
dustrial interests  in  the  city's 
history.  Within  a  week  of  the 
issuing  of  notices  and  with 
jiractically  no  mention  of  it  in 
the  local  press,  more  than 
seven  hundred  members  mailed 
in  their  reservations.  Accept- 
ances are  pouring  in  with  every 
mail  and  there  is  httle  doubt 
that  the  attendance  will  exceed 
one  thousand. 

Of  Unusual  Significance 

This  meeting  has  greater 
significance  than  the  mere 
gathering  of  an  organization's 
members  for  the  snke  of  meet- 
ing one  another.  It  is  an  oppor- 
tunity for  the  entire  member- 
ship to  express  its  united  mind 
in  the  solution  of  the  most  vital 
]3roblems  of  its  city. 

San  Francisco  never  was  so 
jjrosperous  as  today,  nor  faced 
a  future  so  bright  with  oppor- 
tunit}'.  And  .she  never  needed, 
so  urgently,  the  co-ordinant 
effort  of  her  people. 

That  the  individual  mem- 
bers of  the  Chamber  realize 
their  responsibilities  and  stand 
ready  and  eager  to  meet  them 
has  been  shown  by  their  quick 
response  to  the  call. 

That  is  why  this  will  be  the 
greatest  civic  rail}'  in  the  citj^'s 
history. 


Register  TODAY! 

A  doput>'  registrar  of  voters  has  been  assigned  to  the 
main  offices  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  will  remain 
on  duty  daily  during  business  hours  until  the  last  day  for 
registering,  July  31. 

Having  initiated  the  movement  to  secure  as  large  a 
registration  as  possible  within  the  city,  the  Chamber  urges 
each  of  its  meml:)ers  to  register  and  to  induce  others  to  do 
.so  at  the  earliest  po.ssible  date. 

Only  those  ^\•ho  ha^•e  re-registered  this  year  will  be 
eligible  to  vote  at  the  primaries  in  August  and  in  the 
general  election  in  November. 

It  is  the  foremost  duty  of  eveiy  citizen  of  San  Francisco 
to  register — and  then  A'OTE. 


New  Industries  in  San  Francisco 


T.  G.  SCHMEL-^EH  CO.,  1611 
Mission  street,  has  organized  a  new 
industry  to  make  the  Schmeiser  Car 
Boudoir  and  certain  attachments  for 
the  Fordson  Tractor.  Tlie  Schmeiser 
Car  Boudoir  is  a  special  form  of 
camp  equipment  for  use  on  the 
Dodge  sedan.  With  this  equipment 
the  car  is  converted  into  a  bed  with  a 
small  dressing  room  in  connection. 

CALIFORNIA  COMMERCIAL 
COMPANY,  555  Clay  street,  has 
laeen  organized  to  commercialize  a 
new  process  for  temporary  preserva- 
tion of  fruit  and  vegetables  during 
shipment.  The  comj^any  states  that 
this  process  has  been  developed  by  a 
member  of  the  firm.  It  is  stated  that 
the  fruit  and  vegetables  intended  for 
shipment  are  placed  in  tin  con- 
tainers, the  containers  then  being 
filled  with  bicarbonate  gas  which, 
combined  mth  the  oxygen  in  the 
container,  becomes  inert  gas — the 
cans  then  being  sealed.  Berries, 
which  ordinarily  will  last  onlj'  24 
hours,  under  this  method  will  last 
from  5  to  15  days,  while  peaches, 
apricots,  etc.,  vriW  last  from  40  to 
60  days.  The  fruit   is  picked  ripe 


since  it  does  not  change  after  lieing 
treated.  The  process  is  said  not  to 
affect  the  flavor  of  the  fruit  in  any 
way.  Fruit  so  packed  is  now  being 
shipped  to  Australia  and  China. 

EXPANSIONS 

PACIFIC  ELECTRIC  MANU-

For  Progress,  Law  and  Order! 


Nine  Hundred  Business  Leaders  Attend  Annual  Dinner 
and  Rally  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 


ir  I  THE  builders  uf  San  Franci.-ico, 
I    the  background  of  its  great  in- 
dustrial, business  and  commer- 
cial importance!" 

This  was  the  characterization  given 
by  Clay  Miller  to  the  nine  hundred 
business  men  assembled  in  the  Palm 
Court  of  the  Palace  Hotel  Tuesday 
evening  for  tlie  annual  dinner  and 
rally  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

Uphold  Law  and  Order 

Possibly  the  most  significant  gath- 
ering of  business  leaders  in  the  city's 
historj',  these  men,  by  their  applause 
of  the  message  of  their  president, 
pledged  their  individual  and  collec- 
tive strength  to  the  proposition  that 
law  and    order  and  the  peace  and 


l)rusi)erity  of  their  community  shall 
be  upheld. 

It  was  a  gathering  such  as  is  seen 
in  Han  Francisco  only  in  the  hour  of 
emergency — when  men  meet  to  face 
fearlessl}'  the  problem  that  for  the 
time  shadows  the  common  good. 
Addressing  these  men  Mr.  Miller 
said :  "The  present  and  future  of  your 
city  are  in  your  hands.  It  is  only 
right  that  you  should  gather  here  to 
discuss  the  basic  problems  which 
confront  the  city  at  this  time. 

"In  the  seventy-five  years  of  its 
history  San  Francisco  has  had  its 
share  of  trouble.  It  has  been  abused 
and  betrayed.  Three  times  it  has 
virtually  been  destroyed.  But  in 
every  emergency  that  has  confronted 
it  and  threatened  its  future  and  its 


progress  its  peojile  have  risen  magnif- 
icently to  the  crisis  and  registered  a 
.splendid  vietorv  over  everv  untoward 
fate." 

And  referring  specifically  to  the 
present  labor  controver.sy  in  San 
Francisco,  Mr.  Miller  enunciated  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  policy  as 
follows : 

"It  does  not  involve  and  cannot 
involve  anj'  question  of  sympathy 
with  employer  or  employed.  No 
question  exists  save  the  question  of 
law  and  order  or  unbridled  license. 
It  is  inconceivable  that  neutrality 
should  be  maintained  between  order 
and  outrage." 

Following  Mr.  Miller  were  ad- 
dresses by  Chester  H.  Rowell  and 
James  A.  Emerj'.

using  the  fabric  after  it  is  properly 
refined  and  treated  Ijy  special  ]iroc- 
ess  for  the  making  of  patches  and 
reliners.  These  patches  and  reliners 
are  then  sold  direct  to  the  vulcaii-

Farrelly,  this  product,  used  in  con- 
nection with  the  vulcanizing  ma- 
chine, will  greatly  prolong  the  use  of 
the  old  tires. 

The  product  is  made  either  to

708,391  E^imateof 

City's  Population 

Is  Conservative 


HE  Department  of  Com- 
merce estimates  San 
r'rancisco's  population 
at  .567,000.  The  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  esti- 
mate of  708,391  is  conservative, 
based  upon  every  available  source 
of  information,  including  telephones, 
bank  clearings,  liuilding  permits  and 
what  not.  While  the  figures  of  the 
Chamber  are  admittedly  unofficial 
and  of  necessity  an  approximation, 
those  of  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce are  ba.sed  upon  the  city's 
growth  between  the  years  of  1910 
and  1920.  This  is  an  injustice  by 
reason  of  the  fact  tli:if  the  city's 
gro'ft'th  from  lil'2(l  to  li(26  was  more 
rapid  than  it  w:is  from  1910  to  1920. 
The  following  figures  may  be  of 
interest. 

Thirty-two  years  ago,  in  1894,  the 
year  of  San  Francisco's  Midwinter 
Fair,  the  city's  population  was  316,- 
.509.  If  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce figures  are  to  be  accepted,  the 
growth  in  thirty-two  years  has  been 
2.51,000.  During  that  period  the 
number  of  telephones  in  the  city 
ha,s  increased  from  5,061  to  21.5,446, 
Bank  clearings  have  increased  from 
six  and  one  half  million  dollars  in 
1894  to  nine  and  one  half  liillion 
dollars  in  192.5;  an  increase  of  eight 
billion,  eight  hundred  and  twenty- 
thousand  dollars.  Building  permits 
have  proportionately  increased  from 
five  million  dollars  to  fifty  million. 
In  brief,  the  statistics  from  which 
population  figures  are  generally 
derived,  show  an  increase  from  1894 
to  192.5  of  from  one  thousand  to 
fifteen  hundred  per  cent.  The  De- 
partment of  C'ommerce  allows  San 
Francisco  an  increase  during  the 
thirtj'-two  years  of  seventy-five  per 
cent.  From  these  figures  it  would 
appear  that  a  coiLservative  com- 
promise might  easil}'  give  San 
Francisco  the  708,391  "claimed  for  it 
by  the  Chamber  and  still  leave  room 
for  a  consistent  growth  during  the 
coming  ten  years. 


Revenue  Freight  Loading 

'•For  the  first  time  for  any  one  week 
so  far  this  year,  loading  of  revenue 
freight  cxcei»ded  one  million  cars  the

service  ili\isiiiii  ni  the  .-\mei'ican 
Railw;i\'  .\.•i^■l(■i:ltlun.  The  total  for 
the  week  w:is  l.():!(),162  cars.  This 
is  the  eai'liest  pcrind  in  any  year  on 
record  that  (jne  million  cars  of  reve- 
nue freight  have  been  loaded  in  any 
one  week. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINKSP,  JUNE  2.  1926 


The  Value  of  San  Francisco's  Cargoes 


SAN   FRANCISCO 

FREIGHT  VALUES 

EXCEED  THOSE 

OF  3  OTHER 

PORTS 

THE  value  and  toimagp  of  cargo 
jia-ssing  over  tile  wha Aes of  San 
Franeisco  Bay  in  1925  was  more 
tlian  equal  to  the  tonnage  and  value 
of  the  oommerce  of  the  three  other 
eompetitive  Paeifie  ports  eombined, 
Seattle,  Portland  and  Los  Angeles, 
according  to  analysis  of  official  sta- 
tistics just  completed  liy  the  Foreign 
Trade  Di'partment  of  the  Chamber 
of  <  '(jmmcrce. 

A  huge  total  of  38,395,634  tons  of 
cargo  was  carried  on  the  bay  to  and 
from  foreign  and  domestic  ports  in 
1925.  Los  Angeles'  shipping  amount- 
ed to  22,444,000  tons  of  cargo;  Port- 
land 4, 199,000  and  Seattle,  7,848,000 
tons.  San  Francisco  thus  shipped 
nearly  four  million  tons  of  cargo 
more  than  the  other  three  leading 
Pacific  ports  combined.  It  is  not, 
however,  only  the  amount  oi  cargo 
tonnage  that  determines  the  relative 
importance  of  .i  shipping  center,  but 
\alue  of  cargo  as  well.  It  is  manifest 
that  a  great  l)ulk  of  low-grade  cargo 
would  not  make  a  i)rosperuus  sea- 
port. Here  the  pre-<>mincnce  of  San 
Francisco  Ray  is  even  more  striking. 
In  1925  the  value  of  commodities 
shipped  and  received  at  this  port 
totaled  .fl2,316,202.029.  The  total 
commerce  of  Los  .\ngeles  for  1925 
was  worth  .S74 1,9 11,000;  Seattle, 
.'8772,832,000,  and  while  official  fig- 
ures for  Portland  arc  not  yet  avail- 
able the  value  of  Portland's  com- 
merce is  estimated  at  something  less 
than  SKIO.OOO.OOO.  The  commerce 
oi  San  Francisco  Bay,  it  appears,  is 
valued  at  four  hundred  million  dol- 
lars more  than  the  value  ot  the  com- 
bined commerce  of  Seattle,  Portland 
and  Los  Angeles  and  has  a  high  unit 
value  of  S60.32  per  ton. 

THE  LEADING  PORT 

Shipping  in  and  out  of  the  Golden 
Oate  accounts  for  28,0l)t),G15  tons  of 
all  cargo  handled  or  nearly  three- 
fourths  of  the  total  tonnage.  The 
remaining  10,329,019  tons  is  made 
u])  of  bay  and  river  shipments  and 
receipts.  All  ports  having  a  river 
system  trilmtary  to  them  receive 
river  shipments,  which__swell  the 
total  port  commerce. 


There  is  no  es.sential  dift'erence  be- 
tween cargo  received  from  Sacra- 
mento or  Singapore.  It  is  all  handled 
in  like  ways  and  is  all  similarly 
destineil  for  manufactuie,  distribu- 
tion or  consumption.  The  only  legit- 
imate objection  to  river  commerce 
is  that  often  it  is  low-grade  cargo, 
sand,  rock,  gravel,  bricks,  ore,  etc., 
such  as  is  barged  or  shipped  on  the 
Hudson  and  Mis.sissippi  rivers  and 
the  Great  Lakes.  It  is  highly  signifi- 
cant therefore  to  note  that  the 
internal  eommeice  of  San  Francisco 
Bay  has  a  higher  unit  value,  §66.20 
pel  ton,  than  has  the  deep  water 
commerce.  Our  deep  water  com- 
merce unit  value  of  $.58.16  is  .some- 
what depressed  by  our  petroleum 
shipments  a,s  is  the  ca.se  in  I-os  .\n- 
geles  where  the  unit  ton  value  is 
S33.06.  due  to  the  heavy  preponder- 
ance of  bulk  oil  cargo. 

San  I'rancisco  Ba>-  in  1925  ha.s 
moie  firmly  established  itsell  as  the 
leading  Pacific  Port  and  as  second 
only  to  the  Port  of  New  York  among 
the  seaports  of  .America. 


ECUADOR  FOOD  DUTIES 

Food  stuffs  going  to  Ecuailor  are 
exonerated  from  all  tluties  according 
to  cable  information  received  by  the 
Foreign  Trade  Department  oi  the 
San  Francisco  (  hamber  of  ( 'ommerce 
from  .lose  I.  Seminario,  Consul  Gen- 
eral of  Ecuador.  The  cable  reads  as 
follows : 

"Exonerate  from  im|iort  duties 
wheat,  barley,  oats,  corn,  potatoes, 
nutritious  tubers  of  prime  necessity, 
lentils,  beans,  leguminous  grains  of 
all  kinds.  These  duties  are  consular 
fees,  import  duties  and  local  charges 
on  entry.  Service  charges  on  the  cus- 
tom house  wharf  are  not  removed." 


RATE  INVESTIGATION 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Cham- 
Ijer  is  in  receiirt  of  advice  that  tlu' 
Interstate  ('ommerce  Commission 
has  entered  on  a  general  investiga- 
tion ol  rates  on  furniture,  minimum 
weights,  packing  and  loading  re- 
ciuirements,  and  all  other  elements 
and  factors  necessary  to  a  determi- 
nation of  whether  the  rates,  charges, 
and  ratings  between  all  points  in  the 
United  States  are  unreasonably  high 
or  unduly  low,  unduly  prejudicial  to 
or  preferential  of  particular  locali-

PERSIAN  RUG  CLEANING 
COMPANY,  465  Tenth  street,  is 
completing  a  new  [ilant  at  170  Otis 
street  running  through  to  .lessie, 
which  together  with  land  and  equip- 
ment will  represent  an  investment 
we  are  informed,  ol  S250.000.  This 
industry  is  about  two  years  old  and 
is  already  forced  to  greatly  increase 
its  capacity.  The  special  work  done 
is  processing  of  new  imported  rugs. 
The  raw  imported  rug  must  be  proc- 
essed before  it  is  ready  for  the 
.\merican  home.  The  Persian  Rug 
Cleaning  Company  works  with  the 
imi)orter  and  in  this  way  is  building 
up  San  Francisco  as  a  rug  center — 
all  imported  rugs  heretofore  coming 
through  the  Port  of  New  York,  ac- 
cording to  the  company's  secretary, 
where  they  could  be  processed.  The 
processing  includes  setting  of  the 
colors,  perhaps  toning  them  down, 
and  giving  the  rug  a  soft  silky  ap- 
iiearance.

So  He  Tipped  the  Bell  Boy  50c 

His  old  bag  didn't  quite  do  him  justice.  The  bell  boy 
eyed  it  with  knowing  disdain.  To  hide  his  embarrass- 
ment he  tipped  the  fellow  a  half  a  dollar.  But  he  swore 
he'd  never  pay  "excess  luggage  tax"  again.  The  next 
day  he  bought  a  handsome  new  bag  from  us.  It  was  a 
reasonable  investment  too,  for  the  smart  leather  goods 
at  Crocker's  don't  cost  nearly  so  much  as  their  good

SBRVICB 


..«^ 


ALIFORNIA  is 
loituuate  in  hav- 
iiiii  within  her  bor- 
iliis  four  of  the 
nineteen  national 
p.iiks.  In  these 
there  is  interest- 
ing and  unusual 
scener\'  to  meet  all 
tastes.  Beautiful 
valleys  vie  with 
rugged  mountain  eountry,  snow- 
capped peaks  with  steam-crowned 
volcanic  cones.  Dashing  waterfalls 
and  placid  lakes  offer  contrasts,  and 
minute  alpine  plants  hiding  high  in 
the  snows  emphasize  the  majestj'  of 
the  mighty  Big  Trees,  the  oldest  and 
largest  of  nature's  living  things. 

Largest  of  the  four,  and  nearest  to 
San  Francisco,  is  the  Yosemite  Na- 
tional Park,  which  last  year  was 
visited  by  over  200,000  people, 
many  of  whom  came  from  San  Fran- 
cisco and  other  nearby  cities.  Blessed 
indeed  are  the  inhabitants  of  the 
bay  cities,  with  their  every-day 
lives  carried  on  in  view  of  the  mighty 
mysterious  sea,  and  the  Yosemite 
with  its  majestic  mountain  scenery 
lying  almost  at  their  very  doors  and 
offering  an  ideal  vacation  land. 


With  the  completion  of  the  new 
highway  to  El  Portal,  at  the  eastern 
edge  of  the  park,  all-year  motor 
travel  will  be  assured,  and  this,  to- 
gether with  the  improvement  of  the 
roads  on  the  floor  of  the  Valley,  will 


doubtle.ss  l.niiL:  ;iii  iiicie.i-iim  iiiiiii- 
ber  of  autonioi)ilists  to  the  park. 
The  new  roail  will  be  completed  the 
end  of  July  and  will  be  dedicated 
and  formallyopened  to  travelJulySl. 
Several  changes  occurred  in  the 
operation  of  the  park  last  year  which 
will  make  for  more  effective  service 
to  the  public.  One  of  these  was  the 
consolidation  of  the  two  hotel  opera- 
tors under  one  management  with 
the  new  name  of  Yosemite  Park  and 
Curry  Company.  Improved  accom- 


modations of  various  kinils  are  now 
available. 

Another  change  that  makes  for 
greater  efficiency  in  administration 
is  the  moving  of  Yosemite  Village 
from  its  old  site  on  the  south  side  of 
the  Merced  River  to  the  north.  Here, 
with  magnificent  Yosemite  Falls  for 
a  background,  an  artistic  village 
lay-out  has  been  installed.  The  pub- 
lic operators  have  given  the  National 
Park  Service  the  fullest  co-operation 
in  erecting  well-designed  buildings 
that  blend  harmoniously  with  their 
background. 

An  interesting  development  of  the 
past  few  years  is  the  installation  of 
a  chain  of  liikers'  camps.  These  are 
so  located  that  walking  parties  going 
into  the  wild,  mountainous  back 
country  of  the  park  may  plan  their 
trips  to  cover  ten  or  fifteen  miles  a 
day,  and  spend  the  night  at  a  com- 
fortable camp  where  both  meals  and 
lodging  may  be  had.  Many  hikers 
who  would  be  unable  to  endure  the 
physical  exertion  of  hiking  ten  or 
fifteen  miles  a  day  while  carrying 
heavy  packs  can  take  advantage  of 
these  camps  and  start  out  blithely  in 
the  morning  with  no  impedimenta 
but  lunch  and  camera  tied  to  their

7HE  Bay  District 
olTers  a  variety  of 
attractions  to  the 
motorist.  Within 
a  comparatively 
small  radius  a 
hundred  and  one 
routes  may  be  out- 
lined, each  one  pos- 
sessing its  individ- 
ual appeal  from 
the  thundering  surf  off  the  Marin 
cliffs  to  the  redwood  aisles  of  the 
Santa  Cruz  Mountains. 

To  know  the  environs  of  the  cities 
that  lie  on  the  margin  of  the  great 
Bay  of  St.  Francis  is  to  know  Nature 
in  all  her  various  moods,  to  appre- 
ciate a  veritable  wonderland  of  wild 
life  and  scenic  panoramas  familiar 
only  to  those  who  follow  the  open 
road  in  all  seasons.  Truly  it  has  been 
called  the  Switzerland  of  America. 

The  Skyhnc  Boulevard,  the  wind- 
ing pavement  that  rises  to  the  sum- 
mit of  Twin  Peaks  and  the  broad 
sweep  of  the  Great  Highway  over 
which  the  gray  friars  toiled  in  the 
romantic  era  of  the  missions  form 
three  motor-ways  into  the  touring 
district  to  the  south.  On  the  north- 
ern peninsula  starts  the  Redwood 
Highway  and  on  the  Alameda 
County  mainland  enters  a  network 
of  arteries  of  traffic  that  link  the  bav 


district  to  the  great  hinterland  of  the 
valleys  of  Sacramento  and  the  San 
Joaquin. 

These  are  the  main  lanes  of  travel 
but  hundreds  of  branches  lead  to 
picturesque  spots  that  provide  de- 
lights for  the  eye  and  pleasant 
pictorial  memories  for  the  traveler 
who  carries  a  camera  diary. 

Drive  to  the  summit  of  bleak  Mt. 
Diablo  when  the  north  wind  has 
swept  the  mist  and  haze  from  the 
distant  panoramas  and  you  will  be 
able  to  look  down  on  the  checker- 
board of  town  and  country  and  vis- 
ualize the  multiplex  charms  that  sur- 
round the  arms  of  the  great  harbor. 
It  was  from  the  shoulders  of  this  old 
volcanic  peak  that  General  Fremont 
the  Pathfinder  first  looked  out  and 
named  the  Golden  Gate.  At  its  feet 
are  the  fertile  valleys  of  the  San 
Ramon  and  Moraga  where  the  first 
settlers  came  in  the  early  days. 

Joaquin  Miller,  the  poet  of  the 
Sierras,  lived  on  the  lower  foothills 
of  the  Diablo  range  just  back  of  Oak- 
land and  Edward  Rowland  Sill  found 
inspiration  for  a  great  body  of  his 
verse  in  his  home  in  the  Berkeley 
hiUs. 

The  circuit  of  Lake  Merritt  is  a 
pleasant  drive  and  an  hour's  excur- 
sion into  the  back  country  of  Oak- 
land will  carrv  the  tourist  into  the 


heart  of  the  redwoods  that  line  the 
path  of  the  Oakland-Antioch  be- 
tween the  bay  and  the  shores  of  the 
San  Joaquin.  The  University  of 
California  campus  at  Berkeley  is  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  of  American 
colleges  and  many  a  paved  road 
leads  to  vantage  points  in  the  higher 
places  from  which  the  motorist  may 
look  down  on  the  city  and  the  bay. 

Richmond,  with  its  industrial  cen- 
ter, Martinez  and  Benicia  with  their 
romantic  halo  handed  down  from  the 
days  of  the  Dons,  and  Vallejo  with 
the  Mare  Island  Navy  yard,  all  are 
hubs  from  which  radiate  highways 
through  interesting  and  picturesque 
districts.  The  Alhambra  Valley, 
Franklin  Canyon  and  Bear  Creek 
form  a  trio  of  attractive  excursions 
out  of  Martinez  and  in  the  old  ceme- 
tery at  Benicia  lies  the  body  of  Con- 
cepcion  Arguello,  heroine  of  poem 
and  tale,  her  life  history  linking  the 
records  of  Russ  and  Spaniard  in 
Cahfornia. 

Marin  County  offers  seaside  lures 
as  well  as  noble  groves  of  redwood 
and  fern  laden  deUs.  Along  the  ridge 
of  Tamalpais  runs  the  Ridgecrest 
Boulevard  while  up  its  rugged  slopes 
lie  a  hundred  trails  from  which  may 
be  glimpsed  the  beauty  and  color  of 
the  surrounding  country.

HIS  article  is  not 
written  foryacht  s- 
men.  I  know  enough 
of  the  game  to 
avoid  inaccuracies 
and  all  the  facts 
stated  in  this  arti- 
cle are  from  my 
own   experience. 

I  am  writing  for 
the  general  public 
which  is  more  and  more  learning  that 
there  is  better  recreation  to  be  had 
on  the  waters  of  San  Francisco  Bay, 
with  keener  sportsmanship,  greater 
returns  in  health  and  physical  fitness 
and  an  insight  into  our  own  worship 
of  Mother  Ocean  than  in  any  other 
out-of-doors  pursuit, 

I  do  not  think  that  the  heading  is 
in  idle  boast.  With  several  hundred 
other  old-timers  I  am  convinced  of 
its  truth  and  I  will  try  and  explain 
why  it  is  true  in  verbiage  as  free 
from  technicalities  as  possible. 

Without  the  slightest  sneer  at  one 
of  the  oldest  and  most  royal  sports 
in  the  world,  surely  it  is  a  fact  that 
there  are  not  more  than  about  500 
persons  in  San  Francisco  and  the 
bay  cities  today  who  can  potter  over 
IS'holes  in  less'than  100. 

There  must  be  thousands  upon 
thousands  who  have  tried  so  hard 
and  yet  find  that  around  seven  or 
eight  shots  a  hole  is  and  will  always 
be  their  average. 


Then  again,  at  any  rate  until  the 
bridges  are  spanning  the  bay,  what 
is  a  week-end  in  an  automobile? 
Even  though  you  have  found  some 
dehghtful  dirt  road  up  country 
somewhere,  a  road  along  which  you 
can  trundle  the  old  bus  uninter- 
rupted by  the  smell  of  countless 
exhausts  and  a  dust  cloud  which 
forms  hideous  white  snakes  along 
all  the  highways,  you  must  suffer  to 
find  it. 

And  that  is  why  the  general  pub- 
lic is  turning  more  and  more  to  the 
bosom. of  the  bay  for  its  recreation 
and  release  from  the  cares  and  wor- 
ries of  the  week.  In  the  past  three 
years  the  devotees  of  yachting  in 
these  waters  have  more  than  trebled 
in  number  and  there  is  a  very  large 
class  of  the  finest  adolescent  man- 
hood of  California  already  expert  in 
and  devoted  to  the  sport. 

In  the  old  days  there  was  always 
yachting  on  the  bay.  The  San  Fran- 
cisco and  Corinthian  Yacht  Clubs 
had  their  useful  and  unpretentious 
quarters  and  there  was  some  mightily 
keen  racing.  Tom  Crowley  used  to 
win  cups  for  sailing  a  Whitehall  boat 
when  he  was  a  little  nearer  the  side- 
walk than  he  is  now.  That  grand  old 
veteran  Captain  T.  P.  H.  Whitelaw 
built  him  a  boat — how  long  ago  I 
won't  even  guess,  but  it  wasn't  long 
after  the  vigilante  day.s — and  called 
her  "The-Put-Up-or-Shut-Up"  And 
he  made  them  put  up  and  shut  up. 


It  was  hardy  sailing  with  the  cold 
winds  that  sweep  across  the  San 
Francisco  side  in  summer  and  they 
took  plenty  of  dousing  without  a 
murmur. 

It  surely  gets  cold  at  times.  I  had 
come  back  from  a  session  in  waters 
off  Newfoundland  in  1919  and  I 
sailed  with  Captain  John  Barneson 
on  his  little  Lady  Betty.  There  was 
just  room  for  me  to  squeeze  six-feet- 
one  into  a  space  in  the  cockpit.  From 
Southampton  shoal  we  stayed  on 
one  tack  for  more  than  an  hour. 
Every  wave  we  hit  washed  all  over 
me.  When  we  finally  put  about  it 
was  all  I  could  do  to  unlimber  my- 
self. But  that  is  only  a  part  of  the 
joy  of  the  game.  It  drags  age  out  of 
you  through  the  scuttles  of  your 
pores  and  sends  youth  rushing 
divinely  down  to  the  very  nadir  of 
your  lungs. 

This  is  just  to  bring  out  the  fact 
that  yachting  on  San  Francisco  Bay 
has  alwaj's  been  regarded  as  a  par- 
ticularly dangerous  and  hardy  sport 
with  a  coterie  of  truly  gallant,  but 
undeniably  opinionated,  .sportsmen 
maintaining  that  thought  for  their 
own  glorification  and  exclu.siveness. 

Another  popular  idea  which  I 
wish  to  combat  with  all  the  fierce- 
ness in  the  keys  of  the  typewriter  is 
that  yachting  is  a  millionaire's  game. 
I  have  been  a  yachtsman  for  nearly 
forty  years  and  if  I  ever  came  nearer

N  outing  region 
which  attracts  in- 
creasing t  housands 
of  vacationists  each 
year  is  Northwest- 
ern California, 
sily  accessible 
■  from  San  Fran- 
.  You  can  \isit 
Ins  Viication  region 
at  its  southern  bor- 
der, in  M:irin  County;  or  farther 
north  along  the  lx?autiful  Russian 
River,  and  the  many  smaller  streams 
that  glide  down  forested  canyons — 
the  Gualala,  Garcia,  Navarro,  and 
the  Noyo.  Along  the  Eel  River  and 
its  branches,  in  the  region  of  Hum- 
boldt State  Redwood  Park,  grow  the 
tallest  of  all  trees.  Eureka,  on  Hum- 
l)oldt  Bay,  is  the  tourist  capital  of 
this  woodland  realm;  and  from  there 
you  may  extend  your  journeyings 
into  the  giant  forests  of  Del  Norte. 
all  the  way  to  the  Oregon  line. 

It  is  only  a  trip  of  35  minutes  from 
San  Francisco  by  Northwestern 
Pacific  ferry  to  Sau.salito;  and  from 
there  the  railroad  extends  north- 
ward, all  the  way  to  Eureka  and 
Trinidad.  A  succession  of  delightful 
cities  adds  charm  to  the  route,  and 
at  any  of  them  vou  can  alight,  as- 


sured of  comfortable  hotel  accom- 
modations and  of  opportunity  to 
\'iew  the  varied  scenery  of  the  re- 
gions roundabout. 

Of  the  Redwood  areas,  perhaps 
the  most  famous  is  the  Rus.'^ian 
River  region,    around   Guerneville, 


(■uernewood  Park,  and  Monte  Rio. 
Here,  overlooking  the  pleasant  sandy 
beaches  that  line  the  stream's  lower 
course,  cluster  many  and  delightful 
resorts.  Bvmgalows  and  tent-villages 
and  houseboats  aid  the  hotels  in  re- 
ceiving the  throngs  of  happy  vaca- 
tionists. All  manner  of  craft,  from 
canoes  to  high-powered  motorboats, 
cruise  these  lively  waters;  and 
among  the  river  sports  are  swim- 
ming and  diving,  aqua-planing  and 
".shooting  the  chute.s." 

Resorts  in  the  Eel  River  region, 
much  of  wliich  is  primeval  woodland, 
are  becoming  each  year  more  numer- 
ous and  more  commodious.  Many 
outing  resorts  are  along  the  main 
Eel  River,  which  the  railroad  follows 
closely;  and  others  are  reached  from 
Dos  Rios,  Long\-ale,  Fort  Seward, 
South  Fork  station,  and  Scotia. 
Farther  down  the  Eel  towards  its 
mouth  are  Fernbridge,  .Alton,  For- 
tuna  and  Loleta,  much  sought  dur- 
ing the  steelhead  fishing  season. 

Not  far  from  South  Fork  station 
on  the  railroad  is  the  extensive  Hum- 
boldt State  Redwood  Park,  with 
other  majestic  groves  immediately 
adjacent. 

The  south,  north  and  middle  forks 
of  the  Eel  River  flow  down  canyons 
in  the  midst  of  picturesque  moun- 
tains ;  and  all  these  branches  vie  with 


the  main  Eel  River  in  offering  exhil- 
arating sport  for  the  angler. 

Whatever  you  most  desire  upon 
your  vacation — quiet  rest  or  a  round 


of  activity;  repose  in  a  hammock 
under  the  Redwoods,  recuperation 
at  the  mineral  springs,  or  glorious 
fun  along  the  Russian  River  beaches 
— any  or  all  of  these  shall  be  yours 
when  you  go  into  Northwestern  Cal- 
ifornia for  youT  summer  outing. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JUNE  9,  192R 


REIVING  THE  EARLy  West 


ANY  tourists  will 
spend  part  of  the 
summer  in  Califor- 
nia, and,  naturally, 
they  will  desire  to 
see  some  of  the 
events  that  have 
made  the  West 


-y4  Coast  so  particu- 
larly attractive  to 
1  he' tourists.  Not 
the  least  lu  importance  is  the 
California  Rodeo  held  at  Sahnas  each 
July.  This  year  Salinas  will  be  able 
to  accommodate  the  crowds  better 
than  ever  before  as  the  new  Del 
Monte  Hotel  is  now  completed,  and 
with  over  a  thousand  new  hotel 
rooms  in  the  vicinity  there  will  be 
adequate  accommodations  for  every- 
one if  they  are  ordered  in  advance. 

Salinas,  count}'  seat  of  Monterey 
County,  1 1 0  miles  south  of  San  Fran- 
cisco on  the  Coast  Highway,  is  the 
hub  of  one  of  the  largest  stock-raising 
sections  of  the  state.  Hence  it  is 
quite  meet  that  this  place  should 
annually  present  a  series  of  games  in 


keeping  with  the  fast-disappearing 
spirit  of  the  "cow  country,"  and 
hence  it  is  there  that  cattlemen 
from  aU  over  California  and  Nevada 
have  annually  gathered,  and  they 
have  named  the  event  the  California 
Rodeo.  It  is  therefore  not  a  SaUnas 
event,  but  a  state- wide  show  owned 
and  controlled  by  the  cattlemen 
from  all  over  the  West. 

In  a  narrow  valley,  l3'ing  between 
the  Santa  Lucia  and  Gabilan  ranges, 
the  cattlemen  gather  each  year,  with 
professional  trick  and  fancy  riders, 
to  compete  for  prizes  which  run  into 
thousands  of  dollars.  The  rider 
selected  each  year  as  the  champion 
of  the  California  Rodeo  is  acknowl- 


edged as  the  champion  of  the  state 
at  such  shows  as  are  .staged  in  other 
states. 

A  Great  Week 

Throughout  one  entire  week  the 
city  is  literally  clothed  in  rodeo 
colors  of  red  and  yellow.  Everyone, 
from  "Jim"  Tancook,  rector  of  one 
of  the  principal  churches  in  the  city, 
to  Don  Butcharo  Beevers,  major- 
domo  of  the  rodeo  proper,  dresses  in 
the  rodeo  costume  of  tall-crowned, 
wide-brimmed  sombrero,  with  the 
typical  "Salinas  Peak,"  silk  shirt  in 
varying  colors  according  to  the 
fancj-  of  the  wearer,  neckerchief  of  a 
different  color,  boots,  and  eha- 
parajos.  Along  the  sidewalks  and  in 
the  streets  silver-mounted  spurs 
jangle  a  merry  tune.  The  air  is  fiUed 
with  the  talk  of  the  ranges,  and  woe 
be  unto  the  outsider  who  cannot 
qualify  by  explaining  the  meaning 
of  such  terms  as  "pulling  leather," 
"flipping  the  twine,"  "fanning," 
"raking,"  etc.,  ad  infinitum. 


From  all  over  California,  from 
Montana,  Oregon,  Idaho,  Nevada, 
and  Utah,  they  come  to  attend  the 
Rodeo,  or  "Big  Week,"  as  Salinas 
people  term  it.  From  sequestered 
ranches,  far  back  in  the  hills  on 
either  side  of  the  Salinas  Valley  they 
come — men  and  women,  with  tall, 
bronzed  sons,  and  rosy-cheeked 
daughters,  all  nattily  attired  in  the 
co.stume  of  Rodeo  Week,  which  is  to 
them  everyday  apparel  on  the  ranch. 

At  noon  on  the  day  of  the  opening 
of  Rodeo  Park,  and  each  day  there- 
after until  the  close  of  the  show,  the 
cowboys  and  cowgirls,  each  astride 
his  or  her  favorite  mount,  parade 
through  the  streets  of  the  city  and 
into  the  paddock  of  the  park.  Here 
is  staged  a  grand  entree  similar  to 
that  which  features  our  greatest 
circuses.  At  the  close  of  the  grand 
march  on  horselsack,  the  riders  line 
the  paddock  rail,  facing  the  grand 
stand,  the  cowboy  leader  of  the  cow- 
boy band  raises  his  quirt,  in  lieu  of  a

Business  Convening  for  Business 


'By  RICHARD  M.  NEUSTADT 
'President-£leS,  San  Jranasco  cAdvertising  Qluh 


[IHE  San  Franci.<co  Adver- 
tisingClub  is  makingpos- 
.sible  a  very  genuine  and 
worthwhile  educational 
opportunity  out  of  the 
Twenty-Third  Annual  Convention 
of  the  Pacifie  Coast  Advertising 
Clubs  Association,  which  will  be  held 
here  from  July  5th  to  9th,  inclusive. 
The  general  and  those  of  the  eleven 
departmentals  will  bring  to  us  men 
of  out.standing  ability,  e.xperience 
and  knowledge,  who  will  contribute 
greatly  to  our  understanding  of  ad- 
vertising and  selling  as  vital  phases 
of  business. 

The  slogans  of  the  convention  are 
"Stabilizing  Prosperity"  and  "Re- 
ducing the  Wastes  in  Distribution." 
Nor  is  this  empty  phraseology.  The 
meetings  have  been  planned  and 
authorities  have  been  secured  to 
bring  about  real,  informed  discussion 
of  these  issues  that  are  fundamen- 
tally important  to  the  sound  eco- 
nomic development  of  our  business  in 
general  and  of  the  whole  Pacifie 
Coast  region  on  which  that  business 
depends.  How  critically  important 
these  issues  are  all  thinking  men 
realize.  We  are  only  now  becoming 
fully  conscious  that  economic  events 
have  taken  a  turn  and  that  no  longer 
is  business  being  stimulated  by  post 
war  optimisms  and  illusions.  Now, 
to  be  sure,  we  are  getting  "back  to 
normalcy"  whether  we  hke  it  or  not. 
A  transition  period  between  eco- 
nomic trends  can  be  made  construc- 
tive in  its  effect  if  those  engaged  in 
business  come  to  understand  the 
whole  situation  in  time  and  make 
their  adjustments  in  advance  of  the 
changing  conditions.  Such  adjust- 
ments do  not  involve  radical  reduc- 
tion of  either  output  of  production 
or  outlay  of  eiTort  and  expense  in 
securing  sales.  Indeed  radical  reduc- 
tions in  manufacturing  or  in  sales 


are  the  very  element  that  must  be 
avoided  since  they  but  serve  to 
create  a  negative  condition  of  mind 
and  fact  that  inevitably  cause 
trouble.  What  is  needed  is  a  shifting 


Amundsen  Invited  by 

Chamber  to  Fly  Over 

San  Francisco 

Through  the  invitation  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  it  is  possible 
that  Captain  Raold  Amundsen  and 
members  of  his  polar  e.xpedition  will 
make  a  flight  over  San  Francisco  in 
the  near  future.  Plans  now  under 
consideration  call  for  the  re-assem- 
bling of  the  Norge  at  Camp  Lewis, 
Tacoma,  for  which  the  Navy  De- 
partment has  offered  all  facilities 
without  charge.  A  wire  was  dis- 
patched to  Captain  Amundsen  at 
Nome  by  the  local  chamber  on 
Tuesday  urging  him  to  visit  San 
Francisco  if  possible. 

The  expedition  is  now  considering

of  emphasis  among  the  psychological 
phases  of  distribution  and  an  even 
more  determined  and  intelhgent 
effort  to  reduce  economic  waste. 

Advertising  is  not  to  be  curtailed 
but  should  be  made  more  effective. 
Sales  promotion  is  not  to  be  curbed 
but  more  inteUigently  directed. 
Above  all,  the  exploitation  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  as  an  economically 
independent  empu-e  is  not  to  be 
retarded  for  one  moment:  rather  all 
efforts  are  to  be  more  efficientlj'  co- 
ordinated and  more  securely  founded 


on  the  firm  rock  of  economic  facts. 
This  convention,  therefore,  is 
truly  significant.  Mindful  of  that 
significance,  and  conscious  too  that 
Advertising  Clubs  are  organizations 
comprising  men  and  women  who  are 
not  only  professionally  expert,  but 
who  are  likewise  responsible  repre- 
sentatives of  commerce,  the  San 
Francisco  C'lub  has  prepared  a  series 
of  meetings  that  will  adequately 
meet  the  challenge  of  its  opportun- 
ity. With  such  men  as  Alvin  Dodd 
and  Lew  Hahn  to  lead  discussion  on 
distributive  economies — Bruce  Bar- 
ton and  Lou  Holland  to  sound  a 
clarion  call  for  better  advertising — 
Dr.  Hotchkiss  and  C.  King  Wood- 
bridge  to  point  the  way  to  better 
management — and  Governor  Far- 
rington,  David  Whitcomb,  Harry- 
Chandler,  Marshall  Dana  and  Wig- 
ginton  Creed  to  develop  better  com- 
munity promotion,  we  have  a  con- 
vention that  truly  warrants  the 
active  participation  of  aD  the  busi- 
ness interests  of  San  Francisco. 

There  wdll  be  fun  and  st  unts  galore. 
But  these  will  be  the  social  embroid- 
ery that  make  a  serious  business 
conference  delectable  as  well.  For 
four  days,  more  than  1,000  delegates 
from  other  centers  of  the  Coast  and 
of  Hawaii  will  gather  with  our  own 
San  Franciscans  in  earnest  reflection 
of  our  economic  situation  and  in 
serious,  stimulating  and  thought 
provoking  cUscussions  of  the  best 
methods,  based  on  the  best  expe- 
rience, to  maintain  our  economic 
progress  on  an  even  keel  and  on  a 
charted  course.  The  meetings  and 
the  exhibits  will  be  in  Native  Sons 
Hall  and  will  be  closed  to  all  save 
official  delegates  and  holders  of  the 
Admittance  Privilege  Books,  by  the 
sale  of  which  among  the  business 
interests,  this  business  conference  is 
being  democratically  financed.

baton  and  the  stirring  notes  of  the 
National  Anthem  resound  on  the  air. 
From  this  moment  there  is  no  de- 
lay. Almost  simultaneous  with  the 
passing  of  the  last  rider  through  the 
paddock  gate,  the  pistol  of  Major- 
domo  Beevers  cracks  on  the  still 
July  air,  and  the  bucking  bulls  are 
released  from  their  narrow  confine- 
ment in  the  "chute,"  atop  each  of 
them  a  yelling,  hat-waving,  spurring 
specimen  of  the  genus  homo,  bent 
upon  remaining  on  the  twisting, 
squirming,  bounding  back  of  the 
wild  bull  between  his  knees  just  one 
second  longer  than  his  fellows. 

Excitement  in  Variety 

Then  follow  in  quick  succession 
the  horse-bucking  contests,  the 
trick  riding,  relay  races,  pony  ex- 
press races,  Roman  races,  stage 
coach  races,  and  chariot  races.  As 
the  sun  sinks  behind  the  glorious 
bulge  of  Toro  Mountain,  at  the 
northern  apex  of  the  Santa  Lucia 
range,  the  wild  horse  race,  the  most 
exciting  event  of  the  entire  show, 
brings  the  day's  events  to  a  close. 
Some  twenty  or  thirty  wild  animals, 
none  of  which  have  ever  felt  the 
saddle  upon  his  withers  or  the  cinch 
upon  his  flank,  are  led  in  to  the  track 
in  front  of  the  grand  stand.  Here  the 
riders  saddle  their  steeds,  and,  at  a 
given  signal,  start  away  on  a  flying 
race  around  the  track.  No  one  knows 
until  a  second  before  the  pistol 
cracks  which  direction  the  race  is  to 
take,  and  even  after  this  is  desig- 
nated many  of  the  animals  refuse  to 
follow  their  fellows.  The  result  has 
often  been  that  many  a  rider  finishes 
the  race  "backward." 

At  night  there  are  cowboy  dances, 
band  concerts  by  cowboys  and  con- 
cert bands  of  the  highest  caliber. 

No  city  of  three  times  the  size  of 
Salinas  can  boast  such  crowds  as 
gather  for  that  event.  Imagine,  if 
you  can,  a  Mardi  Gras,  Priests  of 
Pallas,  Veiled  Prophets,  a  military 
carnival  and  wild  west  show  all 
rolled  into  one,  and  you  get  some 
faint  idea  of  the  magnitude  and  color 
of  the  big  parade  which  passes 
through  Salinas'  streets  on  Colmado 
Night.  Ever}'  civic  body,  every  club 
and  lodge  within  a  radius  of  100 
miles  vies  for  the  honor  of  escorting 
the  best  float.  Prizes  are  awarded  for 
the  best  mounted  man  and  woman, 
the  finest  saddle  and  bridle  ancl 
what  not.  The  parade  breaks  up — 
then  come  the  fireworks  and  dancing 
until  the  morn.  For  no  one  ever 
sleeps  in  Salinas  on  the  Colmado 
night. 

The  next  day  is  given  over  to  the 
finals  in  all  events.  The  best  rider  is

to  a  million  tlollars  than  a  dollar  and 
forty  cents  I  can't  remember  it. 

Yachting  is  the  most  jx-rfect 
democracy  in  the  world.  It  is  the 
Retting  together  of  men  who  are 
fundamentally  sport smcn,who  would 
sooner  lose  or  even  drown  than  take 
a  sneaky  advantage  in  a  race.  It  is  a 
game  in  which  honor  and  muscle  and 
truth  and  the  enjoyment  of  the 
noblest  human  characteristics  in 
others,  flourish  in  the  spray-kissed 
wind  and  the  sun.shine. 

The  young  yachtsman — or  the  old 
one  as  far  as  that  goes,  I  am  .speak- 
ing now  of  novitiates — needs  only 
enough  to  pay  his  club  dues  and  the 
indomitable  spirit  that  calls  him  to 
the  water,  to  be  enrolled  as  a  yachts- 
man. There  are  those  who.se  finances 
enalile  them  to  buy  yachts.  But  they 
must  have  crews  and  so  far  I  have 
failed  to  notice  a  case  where  any 
man  who  is  handy  aboard  a  boat 
lacks  a  deck  to  put  his  feet  on  and  a 
bunk  to  stretch  out  in  during  the 
week-ends  or  the  holidays. 

Now,  from  the  top  of  the  Tele- 
phone Building,  for  instance,  let  us 
take  a  view  of  San  Francisco  Bay 
and  chart  her  off.  The  huge  arm  that 
runs  off  to  the  east  and  south  almost 
as  far  as  San  Jose  is  wind-swept  and 
little  adapted  for  sailing.  There  are 
wide  mud  flats  and  the  wind  swoops 
over  the  San  Mateo  County  hills 
with  such  force  that  sailing  there  is 
more  of  an  adventure  than  a  sport. 
Looking  more  toward  due  east  and 
a  trifle  north  there  is  the  flat  track 
of  the  ferry  boats  across  to  Oakland 
with  Goat  Island  floating  in  the 
middle.  To  the  north  another  great 
arm  stetches  up  toward  the  con- 
fluence of  the  Sacramento  and  San 
Joaquin  rivers. 

Now  notice  the  wind  as  described 
by  the  smoke  from  chimneys  and 
stacks  and  flags.  The  wind  is  sweep- 
ing around  the  curve  from  the  Golden 
Gate  in  half  a  gale  of  speed.  The 
smoke  from  the  ferry  boats  on  this 
side  of  Goat  Island  is  pulsing  its  way 
stertorously  toward  the  east.  But, 
the  other  side  of  the  island,  the  wind 
has  "gone  up  in  the  air"  and  smoke 
is  crawhng  in  slow  spirals  directly 
upwards. 

The  same  happens  up  the  river 
stretch.  A  Vallejo  steamer  half  way 
from  Red  Rock  to  the  ferry  sUps  is 
listing   noticeably    with   the   wind.

belts.  This  year  five  of  these  High 
Sierra  Camps  will  be  operated.  The 
trails  leading  to  the  eamps  have  been 
well  marked  .so  that  hikers  have  no 
difficulty  in  following  them. 

I  am  especially  proud  of  the  edu- 
cational developments  in  Yosemite 
National  Park  during  recent  years. 
The  nature  guide  service,  which  had 
its  inception  here  in  1920,  has  now 
spread  to  nearly  every  other  park  of 
the  system.  In  the  Yosemite,  how- 
ever, it  has  reached  the  highest  point 
of  development  with  the  inaugura- 
tion last  year  of  the  Yosemite  Field 
School  of  Natural  History,  which 
gives  courses  of  university  grade  in 
liotany  and  zoology.  The  new 
museum  building  furnishes  ideal 
lecture  room  and  library  facilities 
for  this  school.  While  the  size  of  the 
school    is    nocessarilv    limited,    its 


popularity  has  been  proved  by  the 
number  of  applications  received  this 
year,  which  farexceetled  the  numljer 
of  students  the  scliool  can  accept. 

Almost  eiiually  well  known  to  San 
Franciscans  arc  Sefiuoia  and  Gen- 
eral Grant  National  Parks,  lying 
about  a  hundred  miles  south  of 
Yosemite.  The  principal  features  of 
these  parks  are  the  Sequoia  gigantea, 
the  famous  "Big  Trees"  that  grow 
in  no  other  part  of  the  world.  In  the 
Giant  Forest  alone,  the  principal 
grove,  there  are  many  thousands  of 
these  trees,  ranging  from  seecUings  of 
a  few  years  to  the  hoary  General 
Sherman  Tree,  36.5  feet  in  diameter 
and  280  feet  high.  It  is  estimated 
that  some  of  these  trees  must  be 
about  3,500  years  old — a  rather 
staggering  fact  when  one  realizes 
they  first  pushed  their  pointed  green 
shafts  above  ground  in  1.500  B.  C. 

General  Grant  Park,  only  four 
square  miles  in  area,  contains  an- 
other magnificent  grove  of  these  Big 
Trees,  topped  by  the  General  Grant , 
another  giant  of  the  tree  world  that 
had  its  beginning  sometime  before 
our  "prehistoric"  ruins  were  current 
history. 

Work  is  now  in  progress  on  a  high- 


way to  lead  from  (ieneral  Grant 
Park  to  the  Giant  Forest  in  Sequoia. 
Making  ])ossible  as  it  will  direct 
travel  l.etw(  en  tlie  two  most  famous 
of  these  giant  trees,  it  is  to  be  known 
as  the  Generals'  Highway. 

Although  Sequoia  National  Park 
was  created  principally  to  preserve 
its  Big  Trees,  at  a  time  when  they 
were  threatened  with  immediate 
destruction  through  lumbering,  they 
are  not  its  only  attraction.  It  also 
contains  mountain  scenery  of  inter- 
est. On  across  its  borders  to  the 
north  and  east,  however,  lies  the 
.scenic  climax  of  the  Sierra,  culmi- 
nating in  Mount  Whitney,  the  high- 
est peak  in  continental  United 
States.  This  mountainous  area  of 
glacier-carved,  snowy  peaks  and 
cauA-ons  of  wild  beauty  should  Ije  a

part  of  Sequoia  National  Park.  For 
many  years  all  efforts  to  make  it  an 
integral  part  of  the  park  have  failed, 
first  for  one  reason  then  for  another. 
A  bill  is  now  pending  in  Congress  to 
add  a  very  limited  portion  of  this 
area,  including  Mount  Whitney,  and 
also  to  change  the  name  of  the  park 
to  Roosevelt-Sequoia.  The  park  will 
not  be  complete  until  this  scenic 
region  is  added  to  it. 

The  reorganization  of  the  public 
utilities  of  the  Big  Tree  parks  is  a 
matter  of  keen  satisfaction  to  the 
National  Park  Service.  The  new 
operator  is  a  man  of  highest  ability 
and  standing,  who  knows  the  park 
game  thoroughly.  There  is  no  doubt 
the  service  he  will  furnish  will  do 
much  to  bring  many  visitors  to  the

[CALIFORNIA, 


Corporation  of  America  and  the 
General  Electric  Company,  made  a 
prediction  which  at  the  time  seemed 
to  1k'  hut  a  wild  dream.  Mr.  Young 
said:  "1  look  forward  to  the  time,  in 
the  not  so  distant  future,  when  we 
can  say  'ZIP'  and  have  in  New  York 
a  copy  of  that  morning's  London 
Times."  On  the  morning  of  May  6th 
of  this  year  that  very  thing  was  first 
accomplished  in  a  commercial  way 
wiien  a  New  York  paper  published  a 
fat'siniilc  copy  of  the  May  5th  issue 
of  the  London  Times,  containing  the 
latest  news  on  the  British  strike, 
which  had  been  transmitted  from 
London  to  New  York  \'ia  RCA. 

Commercial  Adaptation 

There  are  at  present  two  photo- 
radio  circuits  opi'ii  for  commercial 
business.  One  is  from  San  Francisco 
to  Honolulu  and  return,  and  the 
other  is  from  New  York  to  London 
and  return,  .\lthough  this  latter  cir- 
cuit has  been  oiien  only  since  May 
1st,  yet  it  already  has  done  a  very 
considerable  amount  of  business. 
During  the  recent  strike  dozens  of 
news  pictures  were  transmitted  to 
New  York  from  London  and  pub- 
lished in  papers  throughout  the 
United  States.  Facsimiles  of  the 
London  papers  on  lK)th  the  govern- 
ment's side  and  the  strikers'  side 
have  been  received  at  New  York  and 
published,  in  order  to  give  America 
a  true  picture  of  the  attitude  of  the 
British  people  themselves  toward 
the  strike. 

Another  interesting  application  of 
this  circuit  is  in  the  transmission  of 
the  very  latest  creations  from  the 
style  centers  of  Europe  to  their 
American  correspondents.  Many 
various  designs,  ranging  from  gowns 
to  hats,  have  been  sent. 

There  is  also  the  important  appli- 
cation of  the  photoradio  service  to 
the  field  of  advertising.  A  very 
interesting  example  of  this  is  the 
recent  transmission  to  London  of  a 
complete  quarter-page  advertise- 
ment of  the  Wanamaker  stores,  for 
simultaneous  publication  in  the 
Paris,  London  and  New  York  papers. 


Facsimile  work  of  all  kinds  offers 
a  very  fruitful  field  of  usefulness  for 
the  i)hoforadio  system.  All  kinds  of 
commercial  papers  have  been  trans- 
mitted, and  a  check  for  an  amount 
as  high  as  SI  ,000  has  been  .sent  from 
one  side  of  the  ocean  to  the  other 
and  accepted  by  the  bank  for  pay- 
ment as  if  it  were  a  normal  check 
presented  in  the  usual  manner. 

The  Pacific  circuit,  operating  be- 
tween San  Francisco  and  Honolulu, 
has  l)een  open  commercially  since 
March  8th.  This  circuit  was  of  use 
in  transmitting  pictures  of  the  recent 
eruption  of  the  volcano  ^Launa  Loa 
on  the  i.sland  of  Hawaii.  Pictures 
have  also  been  handled  of  other  news 
events  occurring  in  the  islands. 

Considerable  facsimile  work  has 
been  done  on  the  Pacific  circuit  as 
well,  and  such  things  as  new-spaper 
clippings,  bond  advertisements,  let- 
ters of  credit  and  accompanjnng 
identification  cards,  signatures,  let- 
ters of  introduction,  bills  of  lading, 
and  even  drafts,  have  been  trans- 
mitted. Excellent  results  have  been 
obtained  in  the  transmission  of  Jap- 
anese and  Chinese  writing.  A  useful 
application  of  this  circuit  was  in  the 
transmitting  of  three  mechanical 
drawings  for  a  rush  job,  from  which 
the  parts  were  constructed  with  no 
other  data.  The  drawings  trans- 
mitted were  not  even  dimensioned 
but  were  transmitted  to  scale.  Here 
was  an  excellent  demonstration  of 
the  possibilities  of  sending  any  type 
of  important  drawings,  wiring  dia- 
grams, charts  or  graphs,  or  maps. 

The  Apparatus 

The  subject  matter  to  be  trans- 
mitted is  photographically  copied  on 
an  ordinary  film.  This  fihu  is  placed 
on  the  outside  of  a  glass  cylinder

But,  above  Richmond,  the  refinery 
smoke  is  hovering  lazily  and  the 
white  streaks  along  the  littoral  tell 
of  dead  calm. 

And,  in  crossing  on  the  Golden 
Gate  fern.',  the  wind  is  sweeping  in 
through  the  Gate  with  ponderous 
heft  and,  standing  on  the  weather 
side  even  in  bright  sunshine,  it  is 
particularly  chilly.  But,  once  we 
cross  the  line  between  Lime  Point 
and  Knox  Point  on  Angel  Island, 
the  wind  dies  to  a  perfumed  breath, 
warm  and  caressing  with  the  scent 
of  pine  and  flowers  from  the  sweet 
green  limbs  that  curve  out  from 
Tamalpais. 

Admittedly  it  blows  up  through 
Raccoon  Straits  and  is  blustery  even 
around  in  Paradise  Cove,  but  the 
air  is  always  warm  and  sailing  boats 
here  are  all  rigged  for  a  spanking 
breeze.  Of  course,  too,  outside  of  the 
regular  racing  machines,  all  boats 
are  built  for  comfort  and  protection 
against  the  waves. 

And  now  to  the  justification  of  the 
heading.  From  a  Une  between  Fort. 
Point  and  Lime  Point  rumiing  cast- 
ward  to  a  lino  between  the  east  end 
of  Alcatraz  and  the  foot  of  Powell 
Street  is  a  great  area  of  sunny  water 
over  which  during  every  day  in  sum- 
mer a  strong,  steady  breeze  blows. 


There  is  a  long  stretdi  of  seawall  on 
the  San  Francisco  side  of  this  area, 
known  as  the  Marina,  from  which

parks.  This  fact,  taken  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  road  improvements 
effected  during  the  last  year,  point 
to  1926  as  a  banner  year  in  the  travel 
historj-  of  these  two  parks. 


Biu«  Lake,  Lake  County 

La.ssen  Volcanic  National  Park, 
in  the  northern  portion  of  the  state, 
has  not  as  yet  Ijeen  fully  developed, 
although  road  work  has  been  in 
progre.ss  during  the  last  two  years. 

There  is  considerable  private  land 


within  the  borders  of  this  interesting 
p.irk  which  should  be  eliminated  for 
the  purpo.se  of  good  administration. 

Before  his  death  Judge  Raker, 
who  took  such  a  keen  interest  in 
Lassen's  progress,  secured  an  option 
on  the  most  important  tract  of 
private  land,  and  intenticd  intro- 
ducing a  bill  in  Congress  for  the 
nece.s.sar>'  appropriation  to  purchase 
the  land.  As  it  seems  unlikely  that 
Congress  and  the  Budget  Bureau 
would  look  with  favor  upon  any  pro- 
posal to  make  appropriation-s  for  the 
purchase  of  this  private  holding,  it 
has  been  suggested  that  funds  be 
raised  by  popular  subscription  to 
purcha.se  the  land  and  donate  it  to 
the  Government  as  a  memorial  to 
Judge  Raker.  It  is  hoped  that  this 
splendid  plan  may  be  carried  through. 

In  addition  to  these  parks,  the 
National  Park  Service  has  two 
national  monuments  in  California 
under  its  jurisdiction — Muir  Woods, 
containing  a  magnificent  grove  of 
Coast  Redwoods  weU  known  to  the 
people  of  the  bay  cities,  and  the 
Pinnacles,  a  jumbled  eiass  of  rocky 
spires  and  domes.  But  space  will  not 
permit  a  description  of  these  reser- 
vations, popular  as  they  are.

that  is  mounted  on  the  transmission 
mechanism.  At  one  end  of  this  cyl- 
inder is  mounted  a  very  intense  arc 
light;  the  ra3-s  from  which  are  car- 
ried through  a  lens-and-mirror  sys- 
tem and  focused  to  a  small  spot  on 
the  surface  of  the  cylinder.  The  light 
then  passes  through  the  film  and  on 
through  a  camera-Uke  box  to  the 
photocell  or  "electric  eye."  This 
"electric  eye"  is  a  specially  made 
tube  which  has  the  pecuhar  property 
of  varj-ing  its  electric  action  with  the 
amount  of  light  which  strikes  it. 

The  entire  system  of  lenses,  mirror 
and  camera  box  is  driven  from  side 
to  side  across  the  film  so  that  the 
varjnrig  shades  of  the  film  cause 
varj-ing  amounts  of  hght  to  reach 
the  "electric  ej'e"  and  cause  it  to  act 
electrically  according  to  the  subject 
on  the  film.  At  the  end  of  each  side 
movement  of  the  system  the  cylinder 
is  automatically  rotated  1-128  of  an 
inch,  and  so,  in  course  of  time,  the 
whole  surface  of  the  film  is  covered. 
A  special,  verj'  complicated  elec- 
trical circuit  employing  eleven  radio 
tubes  takes  the  photo-cell  action  and 
breaks  it  up  into  dots  and  dashes  of 
varying  lengths  and  distances  apart, 
which  at  the  receiving  end  gives  the 
proper  shades  of  the  picture.  These 
dots  and  dashes  are  then  sent  over  a 
telegraph  wire  to  the  250-horsepower 
long-distance  radio  transmitter  lo- 
cated at  Bohnas,  Marin  County. 
The  pictiu'e  travels  by  radio  from 
there  to  Honolulu,  where  it  is  put 
through  a  special  amplifier  and  relay 
and  finally  to  the  picture  receiver. 

The  receiver  has  a  special  pen, 
much  hke  a  draftsman's  pen,  which 
travels  back  and  forth  across  a  roll 
of  paper  which  is  run  over  a  rubber 
roller.  The  pen  makes  marks  accord- 
ing to  the  incoming  dots  and  dashes, 
and  line  by  line  budds  up  the  picture. 
The  whole  action  reminds  one  of  a 
typewriter.  Instead  of  ink,  red  wax 
is  fed  to  the  pen  by  a  wick,  from  a 
pot  of  melted  paraffine,  colored  red 
and  kept  hot  by  a  small  electric 
heater  coil.  Thus  the  picture  comes 
out  on  the  roll  of  paper  in  deposits 
of  red  wax  in  the  form  of  mjTiads  of 
minute  dots  and  dashes.  This  wax 
record  has  a  very  unusual  texture, 
one  which  it  would  be  impossible  to 
imitate  were  any  unscrupulous  per- 
son to  attempt  to  forge  such  a  record. 
As  for  the  possibility  of  having  a 
secret  receiver  to  copy  the  pictures 
during  the  course  of  their  transmis- 
sion, the  machines  are  equipped  with 
a  secrecy  device,  which  is  operated 
in   accordance   with   a   simple   but 


effective  and  easily  changeable  cod- 
ing device,  the  combination  of  which 
is  known  only  to  the  operators  at  the 
two  stations. 

To  reproduce  a  picture  faithfully, 
and  especially  facsimile,  it  is  essential 
that  the  camera  at  the  transmitter 
and  the  pen  at  the  receiver  travel 
from  side  to  side  absolutely  in  step, 
even  though  they  be  .3,000  or  5,000 
miles  apart.  This  is  accomplished 
by  electrically  driven  tuning  forks  at 
each  end.  These  forLs,  true  as  they 
are,  are  not  accurate  enough  to  hold 
the  machines  in  step,  so  that  they,  in 
turn,  are  held  in  step  by  large  master 
clocks  which  are  accurate  to  a  quar- 
ter of  a  second  per  month.  The  final 
result  of  these  controls  is  to  prevent 
the  two  machines  from  getting  more 
than  1-128  of  an  inch  out  of  step. 
Thus  the  picture  is  transmitted  and 
received  in  proper  form. 

Prediction 

The  art  of  sending  pictures  and 
facsimile  copies  from  one  continent 
to  another  across  great  oceans  has 
taken  a  long  leap  since  that  banquet 
in  Januarj',  1923,  when  Mr.  Young 
first  predicted  photoradio.  From 
past  actions,  then,  it  is  safe  to  pre- 
dict— nay,   even   to   promise — that 


within  three  more  years  photoradio- 
grams  will  have  made  for  themselves 
just  as  important  a  place  in  the  busi- 
ness of  foreign  commerce  as  the 
radiogram  holds  today.  Even  now 
enough  commercial  photoradio  work 
has  been  done  to  prove  to  many 
business  men  the  real  need  that  such 
a  system  fills  for  them  in  a  very 
satisfactory  manner.

The  Growth  of  5"an  Francisco's  CofFee  Industry 


nOFFEE  is  the  most  i  mpor- 
tant  commodity  imported 
into  San  Francisco.  Silk 
imports  exceed  those  of 
coffee  in  value,  but  all 
the  silk  coming  to  the  Pacific  Coast 
from  the  Orient  is  destined  for  New 
York  by  fast  express  trains.  The 
coffee  staj'S  in  San  Francisco  and 
enters  into  the  industrial  acti\'ity 
of  the  city.  Coffee  roasting  Ls  a  lead- 
ing industr}'  of  San  Francisco  with 
an  annual  product  value  at  more 
than  twenty  milhon  dollars. 

The  great  impetus  in  the  coffee 
trade  came  to  San  Francisco  as  a  war 
baby  and  is  now  a  lusty  and  growing 
youth.  San  Francisco  had  long  been 
a  coffee  port  in  a  small  way  but 
prior  to  1900  nearly  all  coffee  im- 
ported into  the  United  States  came 
\ia  New  York.  The  New  York  trade 
has  not  decreased,  in  fact  it  has  in- 
creased, and  New  York  handles  at 
present  something  more  than  700,- 
000,000  pounds  per  year  of  a  little 
less  than  60  per  cent  of  the  total 
imports. 

Following  1900  New  Orleans  be- 
came an  important  coffee  port  in- 


creasing from  only  fortv  million 
pounds  in  1900  to  250,000,000 
pounds  in  1910  and  400,000,000 
pounds  in  1924.  Much  of  the  coffee 
coming  into  New  Orleans  is  shipped 
through  directly  to  St.  Ix>uis  and 
other  wholesale  distributing  points. 
Although  San  Francisco  stands  third 
among  United  States  ports  in  re- 
ceipts of  coffee,  this  city  is  second 
only  to  New  York  as  a  coffee  center. 
Only  5  per  cent  of  the  green  coffee 
coming  to  San  Francisco  is  re-shipped 
green.  The  great  bulk  of  it  is  blended 
roasted,  packed  and  distributed  by 
San  Francisco  coffee  liouses. 

From  the  time  of  the  gold  rush 
days  San  Francisco  had  imported  a 
small  amount  of  coffee.  It  was  sold 
green,  for  in  those  days  the  hotel 
keeper,  restaurateur,  grocer,  often 
even  the  housewife,  roasted  and 
ground  coffee  for  indi\ndual  use.  By 
1900  San  Francisco  imported  alx)ut 
2.5,000,000  pounds.  There  was  a 
small  but  steady  increase  during  the 
next  decade.  The  outbreak  of  the 
World  War  and  the  consequent 
loosening  of  the  German  grip  on 
Central    American    States   saw   the 


phenomenal  rise  of  San  Francisco  as 
a  coffee  center  of  the  first  class.  In 
1913,  1914  and  191.5  coffee  imports 
were  steady  at  alx)Ut  35,000,000 
pounds.  In  1916  the  importations 
increased  by  50  per  cent ;  and  in  1917 
importations  were  double  those  of 
1915.  In  1924  more  than  1.50,000,000 
pounds  of  coffee  were  imported  into 
San  FrancLsco.  .A.  minor  recession 
occurrefl  in  1925  due  to  large  stocks 
and  relatively  higher  prices,  but 
present  imhcations  are  for  an  in- 
creased 1926  business  and  a  steady 
upward  trend. 

Brazil  is  the  greatest  coffee  pro- 
ducer in  the  world  and  supplies  70 
per  cent  of  the  world's  coffee.  The 
remainder  is  grown  in  the  other  South 
American  repubUcs  of  Colombia  and 
A'enezuela,  the  Central  American 
States,  Mexico,  the  West  Indies, 
Hawaii,  Dutch  East  Indies,  Arabia 
and  the  Near  East.  More  than  1,- 
000,000  tons,  or  about  two  and  one- 
fourth  billion  pounds  of  coffee  are 
produced  annually.  Someone  took 
the  trouble  to  compute  that  a  year's 
supply  of  coffee  put  in  one  pound

<^7\ew  Industries 
and  Expansions 


BLENIO  BROTHERS,  oSOGreen 
Street,  have  moved  headquarters 
from  New  York  to  San  Francisco 
for  their  secret  process  industry  for 
fixe-proofing;  textiles  and  fabrics. 
This  firm  did  fire-proofing  for  the 
fabrics  and  draperies  of  the  Panama- 
Pacific  International  Exposition . 
Neither  the  color  nor  the  appearance 
of  the  fabric  is  changed  b}'  the  treat- 
ment, and  one  treatment,  if  the  arti- 
cle is  not  washed,  wiU — it  is  claimed, 
last  for  the  fife  of  the  article.  When 
a  flame  is  applied  to  the  treated 
cloth,  the  latter  chars  but  no  flame 
is  produced  to  communicate  to  the 
remainder  of  the  fabric  and  hence  no 
fire  results.  This  firm  claims  wide 
patronage  among  theaters,  hotels, 
and  the  Uke,  for  the  fire-proofing  of 
curtains  and  draperies. 

BLUE  RIBBON  PRODUCTS 
COMPANY,  2388  Mission  Street, 
wholesale  and  retail  dealers  in  tea, 
coffee,  spices  and  extracts,  wiU  very 
shortly  occupy  its  new  factory  build- 
ing at  the  northeast  corner  of  Sixth 
and  Natoma  streets.  This  three- 
story  concrete  building,  together 
with  the  land,  represents  an  invest- 
ment of  about  SSO.OOO.  Heretofore 
this  firm  has  had  only  a  sales  depart- 
ment in  San  Francisco — their  princi- 
pal place  of  business  being  in  San 
Jose.  San  Francisco  will  be  their 
headquarters  in  future  with  branches 
at  San  Jose,  Santa  Cruz,  Stockton, 
Merced,  San  Rafael  and  Petaluma. 
In  the  new  plant,  which  has  about 
four  times  the  capacity  of  the  old 
one,  they  will  do  their  own  coffee 
roasting  and  spice  grinding  and  will 
also  manufacture  extracts. 

EXPANSIONS 

CALIFORNIA  MEAT  COM- 
PANY, 576  Clay  Street,  for  over 
twenty  years  doing  a  wholesale  and 
jobbing  business  in  meats,  will  soon 
occupy  their  new  plant  at  the  south- 
east corner  of  Montgomery  and 
Merchant  streets,  representing  an 
investment  of  $150,000.  This  will  be 
a  two-story  and  basement  concrete 
building,  the  basement  to  be  used 
for  the  storage  of  their  trucks.  The 
new  plant  will  increase  the  firm's 
facilities  fuUy  300  per  cent. 

MADSEN  MACHINE  SHOP, 
119  Perry  Street,  has  only  recently 
moved  into  its  new  building  from 
former  location  at  752  Bryant  Street. 
This  new  shop,  representing  an  in- 
vestment of  $15,000  will  double  the 


firm's  facilities.  They  specialize  in 
lithograph,  printing  and  book-bind- 
ing machinery. 

OLDEN 'S  CONFECTIONERY, 
443  Castro  Street,  will  shortly  have 
their  new  bakery  and  salesroom 
completed  on  the  east  line  of  Polk 
Street  near  Green  at  a  cost  of  $15,000. 
All  baking  will  be  clone  in  their  new 
plant  but  the  old  location  will  be 
retained  as  a  salesroom. 

HIGGINS  LUMBER  COM- 
PANY, 423  Sixth  Street,  is  expend- 
ing $175,000  in  land  and  buildings 
at  Jerrold,  Marin  and  San  Bruno

wiU  be  completed  in  about  six 
weeks.  This  firm,  which  deals  chiefly 
in  PhUippine  woods  and  domestic 
hardwoods,  has  quite  an  extensive 
expansion  program  planned,  addi- 
tional units  to  be  added  to  the  plant 
from  time  to  time.  The  main  office 
will  continue  at  the  Sixth  Street  loca- 
tion  which   will   also   continue   to 


handle  the  domestic  hardwoods,  the 
Philippine  woods  being  handled  at 
the  new  plant,  according  to  state- 
ment made  Ijy  a  representative  of 
the  company. 

PRATT  "low  PRESERVING 
COMPANY,  Redwood  City,  has 
erected  two  new  buildings,  at  a  cost, 
inclucUng  equipment,  of  $35,000. 
This  expansion  will  increase  the  out- 
put of  the  plant  50  per  cent  and  will 
employ  two  hundred  additional  men 
and  women.  Apricots,  peaches  and 
pears  are  canned  at  this  plant,  ac- 
cording to  the  Redwood  City  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce. 


Local  industries  are  invited  to  in-

This  Marina  is  indented  with  a 
tiny  harbor  known  as  the  Yacht 
Harbor  and  a  relic  of  the  Exposition. 
It  is  useful  in  its  small  way  and  is  to 
be  enlarged  to  be  really  a  yacht 
harbor. 

In  the  old  days  when  they  had  a 
jaoht  race  each  entrj'  was  handi- 
capped according  to  her  size  or  past 
performance.  The  one-design  class 
and  the  Marconi  rig  have  done  away 
with  that.  In  almost  even,'  case 
when  you  watch  a  race  today  the 
Ijoat  that  finishes  first  wins.  Again 
in  the  old  days  the  regular  San 
Francisco  course,  known  as  the 
Channel  Course  and  over  which  the 
classic  San  Francisco  Challenge  Cup 
races  were  sailed,  carried  the  yachts 
far  out  of  view  up  and  beyond 
Southampton  Shoal  buoy,  which  is 
not  so  verj'  far  from  Windhaven. 
But  the  courses  now  are  charted

course  was  laid  out.  There  was  a 
series  of  races  with  the  famous  "R." 
boats  as  the  feature.  It  may  have 
been  true  that  many  of  them  wore 
attracted  by  the  sunshine  and  the 
knowledge  that  they  could  get  a 
breath  of  sea  air  there,  but  we  put  a 
gang  of  small  boys  to  counting  auto- 
mobiles and  they  got  tired  at  3,965. 
So  that  at  least  ten  thousand  people 
watched  the  races  that  day  and 
could  not  but  have  been  thrilled  at 
the  sight,  for  an  "R."  boat  in  a 
breeze  is  the  nearest  thing  to  human 
life  and  soul  that  man  has  ever  made. 

There  are  seven  yacht  clubs  in 
these  waters.  They  are  the  San 
Franci.sco,  clubhouse  at  Sausalito, 
John  E.  Koenig,  secretary;  Cor-

Stone,  who  is  known  all  over  the 
South  Sea  Islands  as  the  greatest 
builder  of  trading  schooners  in  his- 
tor\%  designed  and  built  his  own 
class  "R."  boat  against  the  four  best 
designers  in  the  East  and  beat  them 
all,  sailing  his  own  boat.  Herbert

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JUNE  9,  1926 


National  Editorial 

Association  toVisit 

San  Francisco 

EVEN  hundred  members 
of  the  National  Editorial 
Association  will  make 
San  Francisco  their  head- 
quarters July  11th  to 
15th.  From  here  they  will  make  short 
trips  to  various  points  in  Northern 
and  Central  Cahfornia,  all  of  which 
are  included  in  the  Association's 
educational  tour  of  California. 

Each  year  this  organization, 
who.se  membership  conies  from  pub- 
hshers  of  newspapers  in  all  except 
the  metropolitan  and  larger  cities  of 
the  United  States,  makes  an  educa- 
tional tour  in  connection  with  its 
amiual  convention.  California  was 
selected  this  year,  due  largely  to  the 
efforts  of  a  group  of  publishers  in 
Southern  California  who  insisted 
that  the  tour  should  not  be  confined 
to  that  end  of  the  state,  but  should 
be  so  planned  as  to  give  the  visitors 
an  adequate  picture  of  the  entire 
state. 

The  visit  of  this  group  of  ecUtors 
gives  California  and  San  Francisco 
an  unparalleled  opportunity  for  a 
tremendous  amount  of  publicity  all 
over  the  United  States,  but,  what  is 
more  valuable,  it  will  give  to  several 
hundred  active  newspaper  men  an 
accurate  picture  of  the  state.  The 
result  will  be  that  news  stories  com- 
ing from  California  into  their  offices 
in  future  will  be  handled  intelli- 
gently, and  some  small  local  dis- 
turbance, unimportant  even  to  its 
own  community,  will  not  be  magni- 
fied into  a  great  disaster. 

Communities  in  Southern  Cali- 
fornia were  quick  to  realize  the  value 
which  would  result  from  the  visit  of 
this  group  of  publishers,  and  ever\' 
day  from  the  time  they  enter  Cali- 
fornia at  El  Centro  on  the  morning 
of  June  30th  until  they  leave  the 
Southern  end  of  the  state  at  Santa 
Barbara  on  July  11th  they  will  be 
entertained  at  luncheons  and  at  din- 
ner by  various  counties,  chambers  of 
commerce,  real  estate  boards,  etc. 

Californians  Inc.  is  in  general 
charge  of  the  visit  of  these  publishers 
to  Central  and  Northern  Cahfornia. 
On  Sunday,  July  11,  chambers  of 
commerce  about  Monterey  Bay  will 
be  their  hosts.  On  the  twelfth  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce will  be  in  charge  of  their 
entertainment,  and  will  spare  no 
effort  to  see  that  they  get  a  thorough 
and  proper  picture  of  this  city.  On 


the  thirteenth  they  will  be  enter- 
tained by  the  communities  of  the 
East  Bay,  while  on  the  fourteenth 
Sonoma  and  Marin  counties  will  be 
hosts.  On  the  fifteenth,  the  last  day 
of  their  stay,  the  peninsula  com- 
munities wQl  do  the  entertaining. 


The  Playground  of  the  West 

[  continued  from  page  6  J 

Sonoma  with  the  canyon  of  the 
Russian  River  is  a  county  that  pre- 
serves the  early  records  of  the 
American  occupation.  In  the  old 
barracks  in  the  town  of  Sonoma  the 
Bear  Flag  was  made  and  the  Cali- 
fornia Republic  was  born.  Here,  too, 
are  the  headquarters  of  General 
Vallejo  and  old  landmarks  that  re- 
call the  stirring  era  of  Joaquin 
Murietta  and  Black  Bart. 

Just  a  few  miles  out  of  Vallejo 
within  the  borders  of  Napa  County 
are  the  geysers  and  on  the  side  of 
Mt.  St.  Helena  is  a  monument  that 
recalls  the  time  when  Robert  Louis 
Stevenson,  the  noveUst,  spent  his 
honeymoon  there  and  composed  the 
"Silverado  Squatters." 

Inverness,  just  off  the  Redwood 
Highway,  Point  Reyes,  and  the 
beautiful  reaches  of  Bolinas  and 
Tomales  bays  are  interesting  ob- 
jectives for  short  trips  from  the  bay 
district. 

South  on  the  San  Francisco  pen- 
insula, another  sheaf  of  attractions 
might  be  outlined.  Here  are  Half 
Moon  Bay,  the  Spring  Valley  Lakes, 
Leland  Stanford,  Jr.,  University  and 
the  blossom  district  of  Los  Gatos 
and  Saratoga.  On  the  coast  only  a 
few  hours  from  San  Francisco  is 
Santa  Cruz  with  its  wonderful  bath- 
ing and  boating,  its  great  redwood 


groves,  and  its  cavernous  cliffs 
through  which  the  ocean  waves  roar 
unceasingly.  Farther  to  the  south  is 
the  famous  Circle  of  Enchantment 
which  includes  Monterey,  the  old 
capital  of  the  state,  and  the  cypress- 
lined  seventeen-mile  drive  that  leads 
to  the  artist  colony  of  Carmel. 

So,  within  the  hundred-mile  sweep 
about  the  bay  district  the  tourist 
may  run  the  gamut  of  pleasure  whOe 
the  marvelous  panorama  of  an 
infinite  number  of  reels  flashes  by.

Archery, 

An  Ancient  Sport 

Revived 

<By  SAXTON  POPE 

"UCHERY  has  its  origin 
s(i  buried  in  antiquity 
that  no  man  knoweth 
I  he  date  of  its  birth.  But 
the  earUest  evidence  is 
fouiiil  ill  thnt  arrowheads  assigned  to 
the  third  iuterglacial  period,  prob- 
ably 50,000  years  ago. 

All  nations,  with  few  exceptions, 
at  one  time  or  another  have  shot  the 
bow.  Because  of  their  stolid,  un- 
emotional character  and  persever- 
ance, the  English  were  its  greatest 
masters.  In  their  hands  the  bow  and 
arrow  was  a  conquering  weapon  and 
gained  them  national  supremacy. 

With  the  advent  of  gunpowder, 
the  more  romantic  weapons  of  the 
past  became  obsolete.  From  an  im- 
plement of  the  chase  and  war,  the 
bow  passed  to  the  realm  of  sport, 
and  here  it  maintains  a  sturdy  stand 
in  spite  of  many  seductive  competi- 
tors. 

Archery  has  never  died  out  and 
never  will.  So  long  as  bards  sing  the 
legends  of  the  bow — so  long  as  fair 
play  and  noble  achievement  stir  the 
heart  of  man — so  long  will  the  bow- 
string hum  and  the  low  whispering 
arrow  fly.  Today,  in  fact,  there  is  a 
marked  revival  in  the  use  of  the  bow, 
not  only  in  the  lawn  target  games, 
but  in  the  hunting  fields.  The  pop- 
ular fancy  has  turned  for  the  time 
being  from  the  obsessions  of  golf, 
baseball,  and  shooting  the  gun. 

In  comparison  with  the  two  form- 
er, it  has  been  re-discovered  that  the 
technical  exactions  of  correct  archery 
are  as  great,  and  the  satisfaction 
resultant  upon  proper  form  as  pleas- 
ant, as  found  in  both  games — while 
the  more  sensitive  minds  have  re- 
volted against  the  slaughter  of  wild 
life  with  the  highly  developed  fire- 
arms of  the  day  and  naturally  turned 
to  the  bow  for  the  sportsman's 
triumph. 

Throughout  this  country  and  Eng- 
land an  increasing  number  of  archery 
clubs  are  being  established  where 
men  and  women  learn  to  excel  in  the 
art  of  target  shooting.  The  Boy 
Scout  movement  has  given  a  great 
impetus  to  nature  study  and  use  of 
the  bow  and  arrow  as  a  more  sports- 
manlike weapon  to  take  into  the 
woods. 

Because  it  seems  a  fairer  thing  to 
do,  because  here  one  pits  his  own 
skill    and    strength    more    evenly 


against  the  cunning  of  the  animal, 
many  men  are  now  using  the  robust 
weapons  of  our  ancestors  in  the  game 
fields  of  America  and  Africa. 

Not  only  is  the  arrow  an  effective 
weapon,  but  the  woodcraft  necessary 
to  accomplish  the  taking  of  game 
makes  this  type  of  hunting  a  human 
and  manly  diversion.  In  the  future 
development  of  game  preservation 
the  bow  is  destined  to  play  a  large 
and  noble  part. 


YACHTING 

[  continued  from  page  22  ] 

Adams  and  Al  Hemberger — the 
waterfront  is  full  of  them  to  make  it 
easy  for  you. 

The  "R."  class  has  been  developed 
of  late  years.  It  means  a  sloop — i.  e. 
with  one  mast — with  a  very  high 
three-cornered  mainsail  and  a  three- 
cornered  sail  forward  of  the  mast, 
known  as  the  jib.  Running  before 
the  wind  they  use  a  huge  light  sail 
known  as  a  spinnaker,  which  is 
swung  out  at  right  angles  to  the 
length  of  the  boat  on  the  opposite 
side  from  the  mainsail.  Also  they 
have  balloon  jibs  and  other  "kites" 
about  all  of  which  you  will  learn 
after  one  session  with  the  Rocking 
Chair  Fleet. 

And,    speaking    of    the    Rocking 


Chair  Fleet,  in  this  perfectly  ram- 
bling article  thisisthe  technical  name 
given  to  the  old-timers  who  have 
grown  past  the  age  of  handling  light 
sails  and  who  think  they  can  play 
cribbage  and  sit  on  the  club  veranda 
and  make  loud  and  laughing  remarks 
.  about  the  youngsters  when  they  are 
picking  up  moorings.  But  they  are 
serving  the  grand  game  for  they  go 
on  regatta  committees  and  wrangle 
out  decisions  on  rights  of  way  and 
carry  in  their  blessed  old  bones  the 
youth  of  the  Sea  which  gets  them 
hauling  lustily  on  davit  falls  at  times. 
For  intense  racing  the  "R."  Class. 
Around  40  feet  over  all  and  less  than 
half  that  on  the  water  line.  Slim, 
snaky  and  exquisitely  graceful.  Im- 
possible to  capsize  for  the  lead  mine 
swung  beneath  the  slim  hnes.  They 
cost  around  $.3,500  to  $4,000.  Then 
there  is  the  Bird  Class.  Very  adapt- 
able to  these  waters  with  trunk 
cabin  and  good  protection.  About  30 
feet  over  all,  22  feet  water  line  and  7 
feet  beam.  They  have  Marconi  rig 
and  are  very  able  and  handy.  They 
cost  from  $2,000  to  $2,500.  Then 
there  are  the  sweet  little  Star  boats 
which  can  be  had  for  less  than  $1,000. 
They  are  open  and  overcanvased 
but  lovely  creatures  to  sail.  There 
are  cruisers  and  big  schooners  and 
power  boats  of  every  description.

packages  nnd  placed  end  to  end 
would  roach  to  the  moon.  If  left  in 
the  sacks  they  would  completely 
cover  the  tracks  of  a  transconti- 
nental railroad.  The  United  States 
con.sumes  one-half  of  the  world's 
coffee  and  coffee  is  one  of  our  largest 
imports  along  with  silk,  sugar  and 
rubber.  The  [jer  capita  consumption 
of  coffee  in  the  United  States  is 
about  twelve  pounds  a  year.  Sweden, 
Denmark  and  Cuba  have  a  slightly 
higher  per  capita  consumption.  The 
United  Kingdom  has  a  very  low  con- 
sumption, less  than  a  pound  a  year 
per  capita,  due  to  the  marked  pref- 
erence for  tea. 

Since  Brazil  produces  the  major 
part  of  the  world's  coffee  and  since 
the  United  States  consumes  half  the 
annual  production,  it  is  but  logical 
that  we  should  buy  more  than  half  of 
Brazil's  crop.  The  coffee  imported 
tlu-ough  New  York  and  New  Orleans 
is  Brazilian  coffee.  To  San  Fran- 
cisco, however,  coffee  means  Central 
America.  More  than  one-third  of  the 
coffee  shipments  come  from  Central 
America  and  Mexico,  another  third 
from  Brazil,  and  most  of  the  re- 
mainder from  Colombia,  followed  by 
the  Dutch  Ea.st  Indies  and  Hawaii. 
The  Central  American  sources  are 
those  of  prime  importance  to  San 
Francisco,  although  the  rising  tide 
of  coffee  imports  from  Colombia 
cannot  but  bo  given  almost  equal 
consideration.  Shipments  from  Brazil 
are  for  .secondary  consideration,  as 
the  Brazilian  coffee  is  brought  in  to 
blend  with  the  Central  American 
plateau-grown  milds. 

The  war  gave  San  Francisco  its 
chance  to  win  control  of  Central 
American  coffee  and  become  an  im- 
portant coffee  center.  But  the 
foundations  to  make  the  most  of  the 
opportunity  had  been  laid  years 
before  by  the  men  who  had  spent 
their  lives  learning  coffee.  The  origin 
of  San  Francisco's  fight  for  the  con- 
trol of  Central  American  coffee 
dates  back  to  the  years  1908  and 
1910  when  the  German  Kosmos 
Line  was  fighting  the  Pacific  Mail 
for  the  Central  and  South  American 
sfiipping  business.The  fight  was  long 
and  bitter  and  very  costly  to  both 
sides.  At  times  the  contenders 
offered  to  take  freight,  not  only 
without  charge,  but  to  pay  the 
shipper  a  premium  for  the  privilege 
of  carrying  his  freight.  John  H. 
Rosseter  of  the  Pacific  Mail,  who 
was  instrumental  in  settling  the  dis- 
pute by  arbitration  became  deeply 
interested  in  the  future  of  San  Fran- 
cisco's trade  with  the  Central  Amer- 
ican area.  His  policy  in  regard  to  the 


from  page  2u  ) 

Central  American  coffee  was  that 
San  Francisco  was  the  logical  and 
geographical  tributary  for  all  the 
Central  American  trade.  To  carry 
these  theories  into  commercial  prac- 
tice was  an  extremely  difficult  under- 
taking, considering  the  conditions 
that  prevailed  in  Central  America. 
German  capital  was  firmly  en- 
trenched in  the  coffee  business. 

Mr.  Rosseter,  being  primarily  a 
steamship  man,  tackled  the  proposi- 
tion from  the  standpoint  of  tran.s- 
portation;  by  establishing  preferen- 
tial steamship  rates  and  steadying 
the  steamer  service.  Throughout  the 
entire  period  of  the  World  War,  he 
maintained  rates  on  coffees  from 
Central  America  to  San  Francisco 
that  gave  this  port  an  immediate 
and  definite  advantage. 

The  Central  American  planters 
before  1914  had  been  unable  to  make 
agreements  with  San  Francisco  be- 
cause they  were  controlled  finan- 
cially by  the  Germans.  With  the 
war,  however,  German  support  was 
withdrawn  and  the  Central  Ameri- 
can planters  found  themselves  with 
the  crop  on  their  hands  unmarket-

able  and  their  plantations  ruined. 
The  San  Francisco  coffee  importers 
stepped  into  the  breach,  advanced 
money  to  the  planters  on  their  crops 
and  assumed  control  of  the  coffee 
trade. 

The  first  year  open  to  European 
competition  after  the  war  showed 
that  San  Francisco  was  well  able  to 
maintain  its  lead  in  the  Central 
American  coffee  trade.  The  mort- 
gages formerly  held  by  the  Euro- 
peans on  the  native  coffee  planta- 
tions, and  the  control  thereby  of  the 
products  of  these  plantations,  are 
now  in  the  hands  of  American  mer- 
chants; and  in  addition  to  general 
merchandising  and  importing  by 
merchants  of  San  Francisco,  there 
have  developed  expert  coffee  de- 
partments in  all  of  the  larger  Latin 
American  trading  houses.  The  years 
of  the  war  brought  the  products  of 
almost  all  of  the  Central  American 
plantations  to  the  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  these  expert  coffee  depart- 
ments; and  today  the  advantage 
that  Europe  formerly  had — of  know- 
ing what  a  specific  plantation  pro- 
duced— is  possessed  by  the  San 
Francisco  merchants.  This  is  no 
small  advantage  when  we  consider 
that  in  Guatemala  and  Costa  Rica, 
qualities  vary  from  plantation  to 
plantation,  and  often  on  adjoining 
plantations  there  is  from  three  to 
five  cents  a  pound  difference  in 
quality. 

Another  San  Franciscan,  the  late 
Clarence  E.  Bickford,  a  pioneer 
coffee  broker,  conceived  the  idea 
some  years  ago  of  testing  coffee  not 
by  its  appearance  as  a  green  bean, 
but  as  it  smells  and  tastes  in  the  cup. 
Before  that  coffee  had  been  bought 
and  sole  on  the  appearance  of  the 
green  bean.  The  smaller  upland 
Central  American  beans  which  had 
formerly  been  penalized  because  of 
their  size,  brought  a  premium  as 
soon  as  cup-testing  became  common. 

Bickford  devised  the  method  of 
roasting  a  small  sample  of  coffee — 
an  amount  equal  in  weight  to  the 
combined  weight  of  a  nickel  and  a 
dime — grinding  it,  putting  it  in  a 
cup,  pouring  boiUng  water  over  it, 
smelhng  and  tasting  the  product. 

This  method  of  "cup  testing" 
coffee  is  now  in  use  throughout  the 
coffee  trade.  Its  use  has  made  it 
possible  to  blend  coffee  more  accu- 
rately and  it  has  also  proved  that 
the  coffee  coming  to  the  port  of  San 
Francisco  is  the  best  mild  coffee  in 
the  world. 

Every  importer  and  broker  has  a 
special  room  and  equipment  for 
"cud  testing"  coffee.  There  the  ex- 
perts foregather  about  a  revolving 


table  and  sample  the  new  importa- 
tions. A  keen  sense  of  taste,  long 
experience  and  training  are  the  re- 
quirements for  the  interesting  job  of 
a  "coffee  taster."  In  one  large  roast- 
ing plant  bhnd  tasters  are  employed 
because  their  senses  of  taste  and 
smell  are  keener. 

With  the  great  increase  of  business 
a  need  arose  for  an  association  to 
legislate  on  the  numerous  problems 
connected  with  coffee  importations 
and  marketing.  As  is  typical  in  a 
progressive  community  a  man  arose 
to  meet  the  emergency.  Due  largely 
to  the  efforts  of  C.  B.  Lastreto  the 
Green  Coffee  Association  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
was  formed  in  1918.  Included  in  its 
membership  are  aU  of  the  important 
coffee  importers,  brokers  and  dealers 
in  San  Francisco.  The  importance  of 
the  Green  Coffee  Association  can  be 
gauged  by  the  fact  that  all  but  5% 
of  the  coffee  imported  into  San  Fran- 
cisco is  brought  in  by  members  of 
the  Association. 

To  Pacific  Coast  roasters  also  goes 
the  credit  of  being  the  pioneers  in 
packing  their  coffee  in  air-tight  cans. 
This  process  enables  them  to  place 
fresh  coffee  in  the  cups  of  the  con- 
sumer. It  has  been  one  of  the  most 
important  steps  in  San  Francisco's

Action  Urged  on  Bay  Shore  Highway 

Consistent  with  the  policy  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  to  urge  the  completion  of  the  Bay  Shore  Highway, 

the  following  letter  was  addressed  to  Governor  Friend  W.  Richardson  by  Frederick  H.  Meyer, 

chairman  of  the  Bridge  and  Highway  Committee  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce: 


May  28,  1926. 
Hon.  Friend  W.  Richardson, 
Governor  of  the  State  of  California. 
Executive  Man.sion, 
Sacramento,  California. 

Dear  Sir: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamter  of 
Commerce  respectfully  invites  your 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  City  of 
San  Francisco,  as  you  well  know,  is 
vitally  interested  in  the  completion 
of  the  Bay  Shore  Highway.  This 
interest  is  shared  by  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay  Region  and  adjacent 
counties  and  by  many  others 
throughout  the  entire  State. 

San  Franci.sco's  interest  in  the 
matter  is  fullv  e\-idenced  by  the  con- 


tribution and  expenditure  of  $500,000 
on  this  project  which  was  all  ex- 
pended outside  of  the  City  and 
Count}'  of  San  Francisco. 

The  completion  of  this  road  is  a 
vital  neccssitj'  to  the  entire  State. 
It  was  designed  to  and  will  take  a 
portion  of  the  traffic  pressure  off  the 
main  highway,  which  is  the  most 
crowded  of  any  highway  in  the 
United  States,  and  where  conditions 
have  reached  a  stage  which  makes  it 
unsafe  for  travel. 

We  are  advised  that  the  California 
Highwaj-  Commission  will  hold  a 
meeting  on  June  8th,  and  we  most 
respectfully  urge  that  you  communi- 
cate with  the  Commission,  calling 
attention  to  the  vital  need  for  the 


completion  of  this  road  which  is  of 
state  wide  concern.  Particularly,  the 
acquisition  of  the  rights  of  way  from 
the  San  Francisco-San  Mateo  county 
line  to  South  San  Francisco,  and  the 
early  construction  of  this  portion  of 
the  road  and  also  of  the  under  pass 
at  South  San  Francisco,  is  a  matter 
of  immediate  necessity. 

With  the  rapidly  increasing  auto- 
mobile travel  in  California,  we 
beUeve  that  the  completion  of  this 
road  is  one  of  the  most  vital  and  im- 
portant matters  now  facing  the 
entire  State. 

Very  respectfully, 
Frederick  H.  Meter,  Chairman, 
Bridge  and  Highway  Committee, 
SanFranciscoChamberof  Commerce.

progress,  and  this  form  of  package  is 
now  being  quite  generally  imitated 
throughout  the  Eastern  and  Middle 
Western  sections  of  the  United 
States  since  coffee  roasters  in  those 
territories  have  learned  by  the  keen 
competition  to  which  they  have  been 
exposed  that  fresh  coffee  can  best 
be  obtained  by  packing  in  vacuum. 

As  the  coffee  comes  from  Central 
-America  it  is  green  and  packed  in 
bags,  weighing  1.54  pounds;  Brazil 
coffee  comes  in  133  pound  bags;  Co- 
lombia and  Java  coffee  in  bags  weigh- 
ing about  150  pounds.  The  cargo  of 
coffee  is  unloaded  and  placed  in  the 
importer's  warehouse.  Then  "sample 
boys"  are  sent  from  the  importer's 
office  to  inspect  the  cargo.  Each  bag 
is  punctured  and  the  "sample  boy" 
runs  his  fingers  through  the  coffee, 
inspecting  it  for  size  and  uniformity 
of  bean,  color,  etc. 

-Any  traveler  can  teU  you  that  the 
coffee  we  drink  in  the  West  is  better 
than  you  can  get  in  New  York. 
That's  the  difference  between  the 
Central  American  and  the  Brazilian 
products.  San  Francisco  is  the  great 
center  for  Central  American  coffee. 

But  more  than  that,  San  Fran- 
cisco is  the  city  in  which  the  greatest 
improvements  in  the  coffee  business 
have  originated — "cup  testing"  and 
vacuum  packing.  'Today  in  San 
Francisco  there  are  a  score  of  green 
coffee  firms  engaged  in  importing 
coffee,  and  as  many  more  coffee 
roasters  and  packers.  The  products 
of  San  Francisco  coffee  roasters  are

San  Francisco  docs  her  best.

Docket  No.  6893 — Scrap  waste  paper,  CL,  west- 
botmd. 


Al  T.  Gibson,  president  of  the 
Lawrence  Warehouse  Company,  is 
in  Alaska  making  a  survey  of  the 
packing  industry  with  a  view  to  ex- 
tending the  fieki  wareliousing  opera- 
tions of  his  company  into  the  far 
north  if  conditions  are  favorable. 

The  Lawrence  Warehouse  Com- 
pany is  now  operating  more  than 
one  hundred  field  warehouses  and  it 
should  be  interesting  to  know  that  a 
California  company  or,  better  still, 
a  San  Francisco  company,  is  the 
largest  operator  of  field  warehouses 


in  the  world.  This  company  is  oper- 
ating more  field  warehouses  in  Cali- 
fornia alone  than  all  other  companies 
have  in  the  balance  of  the  United 
States  combined. 

The  latest  addition  to  the  Law- 
rence family  is  a  branch  of  the  field 
warehouse  division  located  in  the 
center  of  the  pea  canning  industry 
at  Waukesha,  Wisconsin. 

Gibson's  itinerary  includes  Oregon 
and  Washington  where  he  will  make 
some  investigations  of  the  lumber 
industry.

a  Wedgwood  vase.  Near  by  are  the 
low,  cozy  cottages,  and  the  mud- 
bath  building.  A  commodious  garage 
is  at  the  left ;  the  stone  cairns  mark- 
ing the  now  world-famous  drinking 
springs. 

An  Historic  Spot 

These  buildings  today  mark  a 
spot  which  has  been  famous  ever 
since  man  lived  in  California.  The 
Indians  once  came 
here;  the  wild  ani- 
mals— the  grizzl}-, 
the  deer — knew  it 
well,  and  well  they 
used  the  healing 
waters  of  the  bub- 
bling springs.  To- 
day Byron  Hot 
Springs  are  known 
everywhere  ;  in 
curative  properties, 
Carlsbad  authori- 
ties judge  them 
their  greatest  rivals. 
The  facilities  found 
here  for  enjoj'ing 
the  beneficial 
waters  are  unsur- 
passed. 

An  Enjoyable  Journey 

Byron  Hot  Springs  are  but  half  a 
mile  from  the  station  of  the  same 
name  on  the  main  San  Joaquin  Val- 
ley Une  of  the  Southern  Pacific.  To 
get  there  is  a  matter  of  a  two  hours' 
ride  from  San  Francisco. 

A  great  number  of  auto  parties 
from  the  San  Joaquin  Valley,  Fresno, 
Tulare,  Bakersfiold,  Coahnga  and 
other  points  in  the  vaUey,  journey- 
ing to  and  from  San  Francisco,  find 
the  Springs  a  convenient  place  to 
tarry  when  tired  or  when  night  over- 
takes them. 

Byron  Hot  Springs  were  estab- 
lished in  1S68  and  have  been  open 
continuously  since  that  time. 

The  Spirit  of  Health 

Do  not  think  because  health- 
giving  is  the  priraarj'  purpose  of 
B\Ton  Hot  Springs  that  the  place  is 
steeped  in  an  atmosphere  of  con- 
valescence. The  opposite  is  the  case. 
Many  a  motor  party  comes  for  the 
mere  pleasure  of  the  trip,  stopping 
simply  to  rest  and  put  a  sharper 
edge  on  their  already  good  health. 

Cheerfulness,  animation,  rejuve- 
nation— these  describe  the  spirit  of 
Byron  Hot  Springs.

of  care  for  the  comfort  of  those  who 
have  enjoyed  the  springs. 

A  Thoroughly  Modem  Hotel 

It  is  a  commoilious  building,  fire- 
proof, with  wide  glass-enclosed  ve- 
randa. It  contains  every  convenience 
that  the  most  modern  metropohtan 
hotel  possesses. 

The  Waters  and  Their  Uses 

Dr.  Haig  of  London  thus  expresses 
the  opinion  of  himself  and  his  cul- 
leagues  regarding  the  curative  values 
of  such  mineralized  waters  as  those 
of  Carlsbad  and  BjTon  Hot  Springs: 
"Not  only  do  the  waters  stimulate 
the  natural  agents  of  excretion — the 
sldn,  the  bowels  and  kidneys — but 
flush  and  expel  the  uric  acid,  the 
retention  of  which  in  the  system  is 
the  fundamental  source  of  the  man}' 
diseases  which  affect  tissue  metab- 
oUsm." 

The  medical  department  of  Byron 
Hot  Springs  has  made  a  minute 
scientific  analysis  of  the  special  cura- 
tive values  of  each  of  the  various 
springs,  as  well  as  the  most  efficient 
means  of  appUcation  of  each.  The 
advice  of  this  staff  is  free  to  guests.

file  their  way  through  the  rodeo 
offices  to  receive  their  awards. 

But  there  is  no  merriment  on  this 
last  night.  Before  the  shades  of  dusk 
settle  down  over  the  valley,  all  roads 
leading  into  the  little  city  are 
thronged  with  vehicles  of  every  de-

itself  affortis  opportunity  for  boat- 
ing, bathing  and  fishing  which 
fascinate  the  sportsmen. 

The  Southern  Pacific  Company 
has  taken  over  and  standardized  the 
little  narrow  gauge  railroad  between 
Truckee  and  Lake  Tahoe.  New 
roadbed  and  bridges  have  been 
built  and  arrangements  are  now 
complete  to  run  standard  gauge 
trains  and  Pulhnan  cars  from  Chi- 
cago, Los  Angeles  and  San  Francisco 
without  change  of  cars  direct  to 
Tahoe  Tavern. 

The  D.  M.  Linnard  Hotels  Inc., 
under  the  personal  direction  of  Mr. 
D.  M.  Linnard,  have  taken  pos- 
session of  Tahoe  Tavern;  it  has  been 
enlarged,  refurnished  and  greatly 
improved;  a  large  number  of  bunga- 
lows are  under  construction.  The 
Tavern  is  to  be  California's  most 
attractive  mountain  and  lake  resort; 
the  steamers  on  the  lake  will  he  a 
part  of  the  Tavern  enterprise  and 
world  travelers  as  well  as  Califor- 
nians  will  find  Lake  Tahoe  with  its 
beauty  spots  and  hotels,  large  and 
small,  most  interesting. 

The  official  opening  of  Tahoe 
Tavern  and  the  inauguration  of  the 
improved  railway  service  will  be 
celebrated  Saturday,  June  19,  as 
"Old  Trails  Week";  the  driving  of 
the  gold  and  silver  spikes  and  other 
festivities  to  commemorate  the  com- 
pletion of  the  railway  and  the  open- 
ing of  the  Tavern  will  occur  on  that 
date. 

New  life  from  that  date  for 
Tahoe  Tavern,  which  will  hereafter 
be  open  summer  and  winter,  is  of 
the  utmost  importance  to  California 
and  to  her  promoters  in  their  desire 


to  make  Lake  Tahoe  fasliionable 
and  attractive  to  world  travelers 
who  will  enjoy  on  the  lake  and  in 
the  mountains  its  winter  and  sum- 
mer sports  which  have  made  Mont- 
real and  St.  Moritz  most  popular. 
The  Southern  Pacific  Company 
will  sell  special  excursion  tickets  for 
the  event  and  many  have  already 
signified  their  intention  of  taking 
part  in  the  opening  of  the  new  rail- 
way and  Tahoe  Tavern.

LIVING  COSTS  ARE  LOWEST  HERE 


Figures  of  Government 

Show  San  Francisco 

Prices  Lower 

Than  Others 

THE  cost  of  living  com- 
parison based  on  UnitPil 
States  Labor  Depart- 
ment publications  for 
the  average  wage  earner's 
family  in  fi  mi  teen  cities,  as  shown 
on  the  adjoining  chart,  clearl.v  por- 
trays San  I'^rancisco  as  the  lowest  of 
any  large  cit.y  in  the  United  States. 

San  Francisco,  Portland,  Seattle, 
Los  Angeles,  Baltimore,  Philadel- 
phia, Detroit,  Cleveland,  and  Jack- 
sonville, occupy  the  same  relative 
positions  with  each  other  as  thev  did 
in  1914.  Washington,  D.  C,  has 
come  from  ele\-enth  place  in  1914  to 
eighth  place  in  1925.  Boston  has 
exchanged  with  New  York  for  sixth 
place;  Buffalo  has  gone  from  eighth 
to  tenth,  and  Chicago  from  tenth  to 
eleventh. 

The  average  per  cent  increase  in 
cost  of  living  among  these  cities  for 
the  eleven  year  period  ranges  from 
oG.SCc  for  "Portland  to  86.3^7  for 
Detroit,  with  an  increase  of  63. 4*^^, 
for  San  Francisco.  From  this  com- 
parison it  appears  that  for  each 
dollar  spent  in  1914  for  living  costs 
in  San  Francisco,  S1.634  was  spent 
during  192.5  for  the  same  items, 
$1,563  in  Portland,  and  S1.863  in 
Detroit.  During  this  same  period, 
however,  the  wage  scale  on  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  has  increased  100%.  This 
means  that  a  definite  advance  has 
been  affected  anil  that  the  wage 
earner's  piuchasing  power  today  is 
21^"^  greater  than  in  1914. 

San  Francisco's  present  low  rank 
is  possible,  due  to  the  extreme  low 
cost  of  living,  of  .S723.00  enjoyed  in 
1914,  as  against  $782.00  for"  fort- 
land,  which  was  then  occupying 
second  place.

of  living  are  cdnsidered  rejjresenta- 
tive  in  the  vari(jus  cities  and  were 
weighted  to  allow  for  the  variation 
in  consumption  in  the  respective  dis- 
tricts. The  cost  of  living  as  presented 
is  therefore  based  on  empirical  data 
secured  through  government  stan- 
dard methods. 

The  fact  should  not  be  overlooked, 
however,  that  in  many  cases  the 
ciuality  of  the  products  now  making 
up  the  living  costs  have  greatl.v  im- 
proved, and  that  the  average  man  is 
surroundeil  by  a  more  complex  en- 
vironment than  any  time  previous  in 
the  development  of  the  United 
States,  thus  permitting  the  choice  of 
a  greater  diversification  of  articles 
that  go  to  make  up  the  general  living 
cost  in  the  average  wage  earner's 
family.

San  Francisco'sTraffic  Problem 


Business  Leaders  Hear 

Traffic  Expert  on 

Vital  Issue 


SAX  FRANCISCO  advanced  a 
step  nearer  a  solution  of  its 
traffic  problem  Tuesday  after- 
noon when  two  hundred  business 
leaders  representing  practically  every 
phase  of  the  city's  industrial  life,  met 
in  the  assembly  hall  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  to  hear  a  practical  ex- 
planation of  the  subject  by  Dr. 
Miller  McClintock,  foremost  traffic 
engineer  in  the  United  States. 

In  the  words  of  Dr.  McClintock 
San  Francisco's  traffic  condition  at 
present  is  one  of  the  most  serious  in 
the  country.  But  fortunately,  he 
says,  it  is  possible  of  solution.  The 
first  step  must  be  the  enlargement  of 
the  present  traffic  survey  committee 
into  an  administrative  organization 
embodying  every  interest  affecting, 
or  affected  by,  street  traffic.  Follow- 
ing that,  the  appointment  of  a  con- 
sultive  body  as  part  of  the  major 
organization.  \\\\X\  this  accompUshed 
there  mu.st  be  a  technical  engineer- 
ing staff,  which  %vill  make  a  .scientific 
study  of  the  situation  and  find  its 
remedy. 

San  Francisco  loses  thousands  of 
dollars  every  day  through  street 
traffic  congestion;  New  York,  $1,- 
000,000  a  day:  Chicago,  $600,000. 
It  is  conceivable  that  with  proper 
regulation  an  automobile  might  be 
driven  the  length  of  Market  Street 
at  any  hour  without  a  stop  at  inter- 
sections. The  same  might  be  true  on 
all  cross-town  streets. 

The  complexities  of  our  traffic 
problem,  says  Dr.  McClintock,  in- 
volve more  than  the  mere  passing  of 
ordinances  designating  one-way 
streets  and  limiting  parking  privi- 
leges. They  demand  scientific  regu- 
lations   that    minimize    congestion. 


Norge  Navigator  to  Be  Guest  at 
Chamberof  Commerce  Dinner 


TJAjoR  General  Umberto  Xobile,  designer,  con- 
structor and  navigator  of  the  famous  dirigible 
\orge,  which  carried  the  Amundsen-EJlsworth- 
Xobile  expedition  over  the  North  Pole  a  month 
)('  the  guest  of  honor  and  principal  speaker  at  a 
dinner  to  be  given  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  at  the 
Fairmont  Hotel  on  Thursday  evening ,  July  1 .  Members  of 
the  Chamber  and  others,  including  ladies,  are  advised  to 
make  earlj'  reservations,  as  indications  point  to  a  demand 
for  tickets  that  will  exceed  the  supply. 

The  dinner  will  begin  at  7:00  o'clock  and  there  will  be 
a  limited  ntmiber  of  short  addresses  by  prominent  San 
Franciscans.  An  interesting  musical  program  is  being  prc- 
jjarcd  by  the  Italian  Colony. 

Tickets  for  the  dimier  are  $3.00  each  and  are  available 
now  at  the  offices  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Dinner 
coats  will  be  worn. 


keep  traffic  moving,  safeguard  hfe 
and  property,  and  accomplish  all  of 
these  things  without  working  a  hard- 
ship or  injustice  upon  any  line  of 
business  or  any  district. 

Clay  Miller,  president  of  the

forced by  New  Zeahmd  during  the 
last  year  and  a  half  will  be  lifted  on

to  this  effect  wa.s  received  by  the 
Chamber  Saturday  from  Senator 
Samuel  M.  Shortridge  in  Wa.shing- 
ton,  who  hius  worked  steatlily  with 
the  local  busines.s  leaders  to  bring 
this  about. 

Raising  of  the  embargo  will  mean 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars 
annually  to  California  growers  and 
shippers,  and  will  reolM'n  va.st  mark- 
ets for  fruits  and  vegetables  of  all 
kinds,  particularly  apples  and  onions.

on  California  Cattle 

Hawaii  lias  rctuoved  tin-  I'niliargo 
on  shipments  of  cloven  footeil  ani- 
mals from  Calilornia,  according  to 
ad\-ices  received  by  the  Foreign  and 
Domestic  Trade  Department  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  from  the 
Boarii  of  Conimissioners  of  Agricul- 
ture and  Forestry  in  Honolulu.  The

ended  June  .5th  totaled  94.5,9t>4  cars, 
as  compared  with  1,081,164  ears  the 
preceding  week,  the  decrease  being 
due  to  ob.ser\'ance  of  Memorial  Day, 
according  to  the  car-ser\'ice  division 
of  the  American  Railway  Associa- 
tion. It  is  estimated  that,  had  not

for  the  week  would  have  exceeded 
1,000,000  cars. 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Cham- 
ber is  in  receipt  of  advice  that  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
has  instituted  an  investigation  of

the  revenue  of  the  rail  carriers.

who  came  from  ('hicago  about  three  years 
ago  to  take  charge  of  the  Flagg  interests 
in  San  Francisctt.  For  the  present,  pend-

replace  the  plant  destroyed  by  fire.  Most 
prominent  among  this  firm's  products  is

SAN   FKANCISCO  Bl  SIXKSS,  JUNE  aO,  1926 


New  Schlage  Factory 
Dedicated 


N  the  presence  of  many 
prominent  public  officials 
ml  officers  of  civic  a&so- 
iitions,  formal  ceremo- 
mis  dedicating  the  new- 
fact  ory  and  administration  buildings 
of  the  Schlage  Lock  Company  were 
hold  at  the  new  location,  20  Bay 
Shore  avenue,  in  the  Visitacion  Val- 
lej',  on  Friday,  June  25. 

J.  B.  Ruegg,  president  of  the  com- 
pany, had  charge  of  the  program, 
which  included  a  reception,  lunch- 
eon, addresses  and  a  flag-raising 
ceremony.  A  special  Southern  Pa- 
cific train  left  the  Third  and  Town- 
send  streets  station  at  11  a.  m.. 
carr>'ing  several  hundred  guests.  At 
11:30  the  reception  was  held,  follow- 
ed by  luncheon,  during  which  the 
guests  were  entertained  by  Phil 
Shapiro's  Municipal  Orchestra. 
After  luncheon  guides  escorted  the 
visitors  on  a  tour  of  inspection 
through  the  new  buildings. 

The  speakei-s  r)n  the  program  were 
introtluced  by  President  Ruegg,  who 
delivered  the  address  of  welcome. 

George  Gay,  chairman  of  the  in- 
dustrial committee  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce,  complimented  the 
Schlage  company  on  the  remarkalile 
progress  it  had  made.  A  flag-raising 
ceremony  was  then  held  by  a  troop 
of  Boy  Scouts.  Mayor  .lames 
Rolph.  Jr.,  closed  the  program.  He 
outlined  the  industrial  progress  of 
San  Francisco  concerns  and  stated 
that  the  growth  of  the  Schlage  Lock 
Company  indicated  it  soon  would  be 
one  of  the  leading  manufacturing 
concerns  of  the  West. 

The  Schlage  Lock  Company  first 
began  manufacturing  commercially 
in  a  shop  on  Shotwell  street,  San 
Francisco,  in  Januarj',  1924.  So 
widespread  was  the  demand  for  the 
new  type  of  lock  that  it  was  neces- 
sary to  install  new  machinerj-  almost 
knmediately  after  the  opening  of  the 
shop.  As  the  sales  increased  and 
more  territorj'  was  covered,  the  ca- 
pacity of  the  shop  was  soon  ta.xed  to 
the  limit  despite  the  fact  that  three 
shifts  a  day  were  employed.  The 
original  shop  was  soon  too  small  to 
handle  the  enormously  increased 
business  and  plans  for  a  new  factorj' 
and  office  building  were  actively 
entered  upon  during  the  latter  part 
of  1925. 


The  new  factory  and  administra- 
tion building  were  completed  some 
time  ago  and  were  occupied  at  the 
time  of  the  dedication.  The  admin- 
istration building  is  a  five-story 
structure'  completely  modem  in 
even,'  respect  and  architecturally 
attractive.  Together  the  factor>' 
and  office  building  represent  an  in- 
vestment of  approximately  a  half 
million  dollars,  alwut  half  of  which 
is  real  estate  and  buildings  and  the 
other  half  equipment. 

The  factorj-  is  turning  out  50,000 
Schlage  locks  at  the  present  tirne, 
operating  a  single  eight-hour  shift. 
The  company  now  has  about  350 
employes,  with  a  payroll  of  approxi- 
mately S.50.000  a  month,  25  sales- 
men covering  the  L'nited  States, 
over  1 ,000  dealers,  w-arehouse  stocks 
in  Los  Angeles,  Detroit,  Chicago, 
Portland,  .lacksonville  and  New 
York,  and  active  representatives  in 
the  principal  foreign  countries. 

The  company  manufactures  a  new 
improved  type  of  tloor  lock  named 
after  its  San  Francisco  inventor. 
W.  R.  Schlage.  the  Schlage  Button 
Lock,  «-hich  is  identified  by  a  button 
in  the  center  of  the  inside  knob  by 
means  of  which  it  is  oper.ited.  This 
button  does  away  entirely  with  the 
necessity  for  inside  keys  and  the 
door  is  unlocked  automatically  from 
the  inside  merely  by  turning  the 
inner  knob. 

The  size  of  the  company's  busi- 
ness at  the  present  time  and  its 
rapid  growth  already  makes  it  the 
largest  metal-stamping  plant  in  the 
West  and  indicates  that  in  the  near 
future  it  will  become  one  of  the  out- 
standing building  hardware  manu- 
facturing enterprises  _in  the  United 
States. 

The  new  administration  building 
w-as  designed  by  Harry  C.  Smith, 
architect,  and  erected  by  Ruegg 
Bros.,  contractors.  The  factory,  of 
Austin  standard  saw-tooth  con- 
struction, was  designed  by  the 
Austin  Company,  collaborating  with 
Architect  Smith. 

The  company's  authorized  capi- 
tahzation  is  ?1 ,000,000.  The  officers 
are:  J.  B.  Ruegg,  president;  W.  F. 
Ledwidge,  secretary;  E.  J.  McDer- 
mott,  treasurer:  Gustave  Woerner 
and  E.  H.  Hayden,  vice-presidents.

AX  FRANCISCO,

merce of  San  Fran- 
<  u  definite  and  a 
very  sincere  interest  in  all  of 
the  outlying  commimities  and 
cities  in  Central  and  Northern 
California.  The  relations  be- 
tween oiu-  city  and  our  neigh- 
bors are  more  cordial  today, 
perhaps,  than  they  have  been 
in  the  past,  by  reason  of  recent 
conferences  and  interchanges 
of  ideas  by  business  leaders  of 
the  various  communities. 

Recently  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  was  honored  by  a 
visit  of  Bakersfield  business 
men,  and  at  a  luncheon  which 
was  attended  by  a  hundred  or 


more,  frank  discussion  of  a 
number  of  real  and  imaginary 
difficulties  led  to  a  better 
understanding  and  a  more  en- 
lightened relationshi]3  between 
the  two  cities.  During  the  year 
our  directors  have  visited,  and 
in  turn  entertained  delegates 
from,  the  Chambers  of  Com- 
merce of  Stockton,  Sacra- 
mento, Fresno  and  a  nimiber 
of  other  towns.  Without  ex- 
ception these  meetings  have 
been  fruitful  of  very  marked 
results,  and  where  the  feeling 
has  existed  in  the  past  that 
San  Francisco  was  interested 
only  in  those  things  within  her 
own  i)hysical  boundaries,  there 
has  grown  the  realization  that 
San  Francisco  recognizes  her 


neighbors'  problems  as  her 
oAvn,  and  welcomes  the  op])or- 
tunity  to  help  solve  them. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Directors,  President 
Clay  Miller  was  authorized,  by 
unanimous  vote,  to  apjioint  a 
new  and  very  imjjortant  com- 
mittee of  the  local  chamber. 
It  will  be  kno\\^l  as  the  "Inter- 
City  Committee,"  and  its 
function  will  be  to  continue 
the  work  that  has  been  so  well 
begun;  to  promote  and  to  en- 
courage trade  possibilities  and 
to  protect  our  friendshijjs  from 
unnecessary  misunderstand- 
ings. 

Surely  this  work  may  be 
classified  among  the  Chamber's 
major  activities. 


Our  Registration  Today  is  199,539 


\\  FRANCISCO'S 
ici;istration  at  noon 
\\  ednesday,  July  7, 
for  the  August  pri- 
nianes,  was  199,539.  At  the 
present  rate  this  numlier  will 
be  increased  by  July  31,  the 
last  day  for  registering,  to 
224,000."^  This  is  the  estimate 
of  City  Registrar  Zemansky, 
and  is  without  doubt  as  accu- 
rate as  any  estimate  at  this 
time  can  be. 

Considering  that  all  regis- 
trations this  year  are  new,  and 
will  show  an  increase  over  the 
220,000  of  last  November, 
which  represented  the  accumu- 
lation of  two  years,  the  show- 


ing is  not  entirely  a  disap- 
pointment, although  it  might 
have  been  better. 


New  Buildings  of

A  story  about  them  and  a  word 
or  two  about  some  of  the  old  ones 
ivill  appear  in  July  14  issue  of 

San  Francisco  Business 


San  Francisco's  population 
may  reasonably  be  figured  at 
708,000.  On  this  basis  the 
number  of  registered  voters  in 
the  city  should  exceed  250,000. 


The  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  urged  all  of  its  members  to 
register  for  the  coming  elec- 
tions. Through  the  co-ojjera- 
tion  of  the  City  Registrar's 
office,  a  deputy  has  been  as- 
signed to  the  general  offices  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 
He  is  at  the  services,  not  only 
of  members  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce,  but  of  the  gen- 
eral public,  and  will  be  avail- 
able until  the  closing  day, 
July  31. 

If  you  know  of  any  one 
eligible  to  register  who  has 
not  done  so,  bring  him  in  now. 
Helj)  swell  the  vote.  And  re- 
member,  the  time's  short.

REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

Loading  of  rcvcnuo  froight  the 
week  Piidod  June  19  totalod  1,043,- 
720  cars,  according  to  the  car  service 
division  of  the  .American  Railway 
.Association,  This  was  a  decrease  of 
16,494  cars  comparerl  with  the  pre- 
ceding week,  due  to  reductions,  for 
the  most  part  small,  in  the  loading  of 
all  commodities  with  the  exception 
of  merchandise  and  less-than-car- 
load  freight,  which  showed  a  slight 
increase. 

Compared  with  the  corresponding 
week  last  year,  however,  the  total 
for  the  week  endad  Juno  19  was  an 
increa.se  of  59,137  cars,  while  it  also 
was  an  increa.se  of  140,174  cars 
above  the  corresponding  week  in 
1924.  It  also  was  a  substantial  in- 
crease over  the  corresponding  weeks 
in  1920,  1921,  1922  and  1923. 

This  was  the  fifth  week  this  year 
that  the  loading  of  revenue  freight 
exceeded  one  million  cars.

Thp  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  ("ham-

Washington  that  Examiner  Faul  of 
the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis-

granted,  would  require  the  rail  car- 
riers to  issue  through  bills  of  lading 
covering  the  rail  movement  to  the

Water  Lines  to  Boston,  was  oijposed 
by  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of

cisco Wool  Trade  Association  and 
various  other  Pacific  Coast  Cham-

the  tariff  preferentials  reciprocall3' 
granted  by  the  United  States  and 
the  Republic  of  Finland  in  accord- 
ance with  their  recent  commercial

San  Francisco  Wins  in 

Competition  with 

National  Firms 

The  sixteen-page  book,  "Three 
Half  Centuries,"  that  is  being  dis- 
tributed nationally  by  E.  H.  Rollins 
&  Sons  on  the  occasion  of  the  fiftieth 
anniversary  of  the  firm,  is  a  work  of 
such  excellence  that  it  conunands 
more  than  passing  attention. 

But  aside  from  the  excellence  of 
the  text,  art  work  and  design  of  this 
book,  its  publication  here  in  San 
Franci.sco  for  distribution  from  Xew 
York,  Boston  and  Chicago,  as  well 
as  from  the  Los  Angeles  and  San 
Francisco  Rollins  offices,  is  a  fine 
e.xample  of  the  possibilities  of  San 
Francisco  in  manufacturing  and 
national  distribution. 

The  contract  for  the  book  was 
awarded  in  Boston,  after  a  competi- 
tion by  national  advertising  agencies 
that  was  won  by  C.  A.  Home.  The 
economical  production  in  San  Fran- 
cisco was  po.ssible  although  the  ma- 
jority of  the  copies  were  distributed 
from  eastern  Rollins  oflfices. 

The  art  work  of  Francis  Tod- 
hunter  and  the  press  work  of  the 
Independent  Press  Room  are  attract- 
ing favorable  comment  among  the 
trade  here.

I T  H  the  rental  schedule  and  floor  plans 
of  the  30-story  Russ  Building  completed, 
reservations  of  space  may  now  be  made. 
Those  who  desire  offices  in  the  Russ  Building  will 
find  it  to  their  advantage  to  make  their  selection 
now,  as  by  so  doing  partition  divisions  can  be  ar- 
ranged more  easily  to  suit  individual  requirements, 
and  the  preliminary  applications  for  space  have 
already  indicated  that  offices  in  this  great  building 
will  be  in  strong  demand. 
Many  firms  are  already  planning  to  move  into  the  Russ 
Building  when  it  is  finished,  seventeen  months  hence. 
The  commanding  location  and  dominant  size  of  the  building  itself 
influence  the  decision  of  many  business  men,  who  recognize  that 
an  office  in  the  Russ  Building  is  a  worth-while  distinction.  The  conven- 
ience of  the  garage  'within  the  building,  with  the 
freedom  from  the  worry  of  seeking  parking  space 
in  congested  streets,  is  undoubtedly  a  strong  motive,  bring- 
ing about  these  decisions.  The  greater  number  of  those 
who  are  already  turning  to  the  Russ  Building  are  firms 
and  corporations  that  need  larger  space  in  compact  ar- 
rangement, and  realize  that  each  of  the  three  wings,  as 
well  as  the  tower  floors,  have  attractive  possibilities  for 


ideal  floor  layouts. 


But  the  Russ  Building  also  oS^ers 
unusual     advantages     for     those 
who  desire  smaller  suites  of  two 
or    three    offices.  An    inspection     of     the   floor  plans 
will  show  that  the    room    arrangement  is  remarkably 
free   from  waste  space.      There   are   no   dark   corners 
and    no     interior     courts.    Consequently     the     rental 
rates  will   be    found    decidedly    reasonable,  par- 
ticularly in  view  of  the  features  in    equipment 
and    service   not   elsewhere  obtainable.

MR.  PETERS  of  Geneva,  Nebraska,  peeked  through  a 
knot  hole  in  the  board  fence  and  gasped.  Just  above  his 
head  a  stenciled  sign  read:  "This  is  an  .American  Plan 
Job.  Please  do  not  Block  the  Sidewalk.  Keep  Moving!"  He 
shouted  to  Mrs.  Peters,  and  then,  one  by  one,  lifted  the  little 
Peterettes  to  the  squint  hole.  "That,"  he  yelled,  "will  be  a  loUa- 
palooza!" 

They  didn't  hear  him,  for  at  the  moment  a  battery  of 
n\'eters  broke  into  chorus  across  the  street. 

The  Peterses  were  visiting,  and  having  a  much  better  time 
than  they  would  have  had,  had  the}'  known  that  there  hovered  at 
the  moment,  several  stories  above  their  heads,  a  two-ton  girder, 
suspended  by  a  thread  of  steel. 

A  moment  later  a  large  truck  backed  gently  against  Mr. 
Peters'  shoulder,  and  he  and  Mrs.  Peters  and  the  little  Peterettes 
moved  on.  Let  us  follow  them  up  the  block.

THE  name  Russ  Building  meant  little,  if  anything,  to  Mr. 
Peters  or  his  flock.  None  of  the  folks  back  home  would  have 
recognized  it,  although  most  of  them  had  heard  of  Chinatown, 
the  Latin  Quarter,  the  Ferry  Building,  the  Clifif  Hou.se.  Mr. 
Peters,  of  course,  had  towed  Mother  and  the  sprouts  from  one  to 
the  other  of  the.se  places  the  first  day  out.  They  had  viewed 
most  of  them  from  the  superstructure  of  a  very  large  bus,  and 
Mr.  Peters  had  inscribed  innumerable  facts  in  a  httle  black  book 
as  they  came  to  Imn  thiough  the  megaphone  of  the  gentleman  on 
the  front  seat.  He  had  been  profoundly  impressed.

THE  DINNER  TO  SWEDEN'S  PRINCE  AND  PRINCESS 


HE  Chamber  uf  ("ommekce  will 
entertain  Prince  Gustaf  Adolph 
and  Princess  Louise  of  Sweden,  at 
formal  dinner  in  the  Palace 
Hotel  Oil  the  evening  of  Wednesday,  July  28. 
By  reason  of  the  unusual  demand  for  reser- 
vations that  will  inevitably  follow  the  first 
announcement  of  this  affair,  members  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  are  advised  to 
secure  their  tickets  at  the  earliest  oppor- 
tunity. It  is  almost  certain  that  applications 
will  exceed  the  capacity  of  the  room,  and 


nece.s.'^arily  tho.se  who  are  late  in  making 
known  their  desire  will  be  disappointed. 

Tickets  for  this  dinner  are  available  now 
to  all  members  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. The  charge  is  ten  dollars  a  cover. 
The  dinner  will  be  formal. 

Prince  Ciu.staf  and  Princess  Louise  have 
made  a  jjrofound  impression  wherever  they 
have  visited  in  America,  and  it  is  a  distinct 
pleasure  and  an  honor  to  entertain  them 
during  their  brief  stay  in  San  Francisco. 


WE  ENTERTAIN  THE  VISITING  EDITORS 


■SSSJHE  Chamber  of  Commerce,  in  co- 
^f  ^fl  operation  with  the  city  and  a 
^^  ^^  ntunbcr  of  active  members  of  the 
E-  ^ — '  ■  <  hamber,  is  entertaining  today 
the  uKiubers  of  the  National  Editorial  Asso- 
ciation. As  explained  in  another  article  in 
this  issue  of  Business,  these  visitors,  num- 
bering three  hundred  or  more,  are  repre- 
sentative of  the  smaller  newspapers  through- 
out the  LTnited  States.  Their  coming  to  San 
Francisco  and  to  the  bay  counties  offers  an 
unusual  opportunity  to  show  these  people, 
at  first  hand,  the  signs  of  our  prosperit.y. 

At  the  ])resent  time  there  are  under  con- 
struction in  the  citv,  buildings  aggregating 
a  co.st  of  $30,000,000.  Among  them  are  office 
structures,  hotels,  apartment  houses,  resi- 
dences and  schools.  Notwithstanding  reports 


of  building  tie-ups  that  have  been  broadcast 
during  the  la.st  few  months,  this  work  is 
going  steadih'  ahead  and  San  Francisco  is 
today  in  the  course  of  a  building  jjrogram 
that  cannot  but  inpress  its  vi.sitors. 

Through  the  assistance  of  the  Matson 
Navigation  Compan.y,  the  Southern  Pacific, 
the  Chinese  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the 
City  Government,  our  visiting  editors  are 
being  shown  the  city  under  the  most  at- 
tractive conditions. 

As  further  recognition  of  their  presence 
many  of  our  downto-RTi  buildings  will  be 
illuminated  tonight.  Among  them  will  be 
the  Telephone  Building,  the  Pacific  Gas  and 
Electric  Company,  the  Ferrv  Building  and 
the  Citv  Hall. 


SAN  FRANCISCO'S  REGISTRATIONS  GROW 


EfusTRATiON.s  are  increasing  at  the 
rate  of  five  thousand  a  week. 
There  are  onl.y  two  weeks  more  in 
which  to  register  for  the  primary 
elections.  This  means  that  San  Francisco's 
registrations  on  July  31,  the  closing  day, 
will  be  approximately  225,000.  By  October 
the  registrations  for  the  general  elections  in

SAN  FRAN'CISCO  BUSIXESS,  JULY  14,  1926 


JVe  Welcome  a  Load  of  Editors 


■By  A.  McKIE   DONNAN 


A  Feature  of  San  Franci 


■1  nearly  as  this  writer  can 
find  out  (and  he's  a  cagey 
lird,  this  writer)  the 
tijwns  and  cities  of  that 
part  of  the  United  States 
which,  unfortunately  for  itself,  lies 
east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  will 
within  the  ne.xt  few  years  become  as 
barren  of  all  human  habitation  as  the 
well-known  Deserted  Village  and  the 
Ghost  Cities  of  the  oil  and  gold-rush 
districts.  In  other  words,  these 
places  must  reconcile  themselves  to 
becoming  mere  fallen  arches  in  the 
sands  of  Time, 

The  reason  for  this  future  desola- 
tion and  wa.ste  is  now  visiting  in  San 
Francisco  et  al,  (the  et  al.  being 
everything  that  is  not  contiguous  to, 
or  part  of,  our  sister  city  to  the 
south).  This  visitor  in  our  midst  is 
the  National  Editorial  Association. 
It  seems  this  association,  some 
few  years  ago,  held  a  convention  in 
Florida,  And,  shortly  after  Florida 
had  had  time  to  count  over  the 
silverware  following  its  departure, 
this  hitherto-little-known  state  found 
itself  with  a  boom  on  its  hands.  It  is, 
obviously,  quite  needless  for  this 
writer  to  explain  the  Florida  boom. 
Simply  becau.se,  as  a  Cahfornian, 
anything  that  might  be  said  criti- 
cising Florida  would  be  misunder- 
stood, and  anj'thing  glorifying  the 
state  would  be  treason,  (Even 
writers  are  governed  by  the  first  law 
of  Nature,)  At  any  rate,  Florida  had 
its  convention — and  its  boom.  Now 
California  has  had  its  convention, 
Q,  E,  D,  (It  certainly  makes  one  feel 
sorry  for  the  East,  Wouldn't  Detroit 


look  funny  without  anybody  in  it? 
Or  Chicago?) 

It  seems  the  N,  E,  A.  has  a  mem- 
bership of  some  3,600  publishers, 
editors  and  owners  of  daily  and 
weekly  newspapers  in  forty-eight 
states,  Alaska  and  Mexico,  It  is  an 
association  that  has  been  in  business 
for  more  than  forty  years  and  is 
regarded  as  one  of  the  strongest  or- 
ganizations in  its  field.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  it  is  whispered  that  the  old 
sloganeer  (now,  what  was  his  name? 
Well,  it  doesn't  matter!)  who  wrote 
the  line,  "The  pen  is  mightier  than 
the  sword,"  had  the  N.  E,  A,  in 
mind  as  he  scribbled  those  famous 
words. 

Last  year,  through  the  influence  of 
a  certain  Justice  Cramer  of  Orange, 
California,  and  a  certain  Timothy 
Brownhill  of  Puente  (same  state), 
the  N.  E.  A.  decided  to  come  to  Los 
Angeles  for  their  1926  convention. 
This  they  have  done,  and  we  have 
it,  on  the  most  reliable  authority, 
that  cities  which  venture  to  put  in 
their  bids  for  future  conventions  are 
shaking  in  their  boots  lest  they  be 
not  able  to  come  up  to  the  brand  of 
hospitality  that  has  Ijeen  shown  the 
N.  E,  A,  out  here  in  the  so-called 
wild  and  woolly  ^^■est,  From  the 
time  that  the  delegation  passed  the 
state  line  and  were  greeted  by 
Governor  Richardson  in  the  name 
of  California,  the  convention  has 
been  established  as  one  of  the  most 
successful  that  the  organization  has 
ever  held. 

The  convention  itself  may  be 
passed  over  lightly  at   this  point. 


Not  that  it  was  a  "hght"  conven- 
tion, in  any  sense  of  the  word,  but 
simply  because,  as  a  convention  of 
serious-minded  individuals,  it  dealt 
almost  wholly  with  intimate  "faniUy  " 
matters  of  little  interest  to  the  lay- 
man. Let  it  be  said,  however,  that 
editors  who  attended  have  been 
showing  more  than  passing  interest 
in  the  economic  development  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  as  they  are  able  to  see 
it  at  first  hand,  and  that  this  interest 
cannot  but  be  of  considerable  value 
to  the  state  For,  here  are  men  who 
control  the  editorial  policies  of 
hundreds  of  newspapers  in  just 
those  sections  from  which  California 
can  expect  its  gieatest  growing  sup- 
port, and  with  the  proper  under- 
standing of  the  real  CaUfornia,  un- 
colored  by  sensational  exaggeration 
or  romantic  sectionahsm,  these  men 
(and,  pardon  us,  women)  have  the 
opportunity  of  presenting  California 
as  it  really  is  to  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands of  people  to  whom  the  opin- 
ions of  these  editors  are  more  valuable 
than  reams  of  what  a  dyed-in-the- 
wool  Californian  might  have  to  say 
about  his  particular  domain. 

In  this  regard,  it  is  only  to  be 
regretted  that  these  men  and  women 
will  not  (at  lea,st  in  toto)  have  the 
opportunity  of  seeing  California  in 
all  its  interesting  phases.  The  pro- 
gram for  San  Francisco  and  vicinity 
contemplates  but  one  day  in  the 
city  itself,  one  day  in  the  North  Bay 
section,  one  day  in  the  Ea.st  Bay  and 
one  day  "down  the  peninsula,"  Al- 
though many  of  the  delegates  intend

qA  Convention  JVith  a  Purpose 


AX  FUAXCIriCO  has  a 
>tt('r  idea  today  what 
Ivcrtising  is  all  about, 
-  purposes,  aims  and 
r.ilri,  than  it  over  had 
ljfii)ic,  lliajiks  to  the  twenty  third 
annual  convent  ionoft  ho  Paeifio  Coast 
Advertising  Clubs'  Assooiation,  held 
here  .luly  .5-8. 

AdvertisinR  is  the  business  or  the 
art  of  letting  the  other  fellow  know 
what  you  have  that  he  ought  to  have 
and  you  will  be  willing  to  give  him 
for  a  consideration. 

It  may  be  soap  that  floats  or 
tobacco  that  .satisfies  or  food  that 
fattens  or  a  course  of  sprouts  that 
reduces  or  a  new  wrinkle  remover  or 
unusual  weather.  Perhaps  you  have 
a  conunodity  to  sell  or  an  idea  to 
put  over  or  a  climate  to  attract. 
Maybe  you  have  the  best  thing  of 
its  kind  extant.  You  even  may  have 
something  everybody  wants.  But 
you  are  not  going  to  sell  it  unle.ssyou 
tell  the  other  fellow  you  have  it. 

Telhng  the  other  fellow  what  you 
have  that  he  ought  to  have — that  is 
advertising. 

The  Biggest  and  Best 

In  the  ad  men's  convention  re- 
cently held  in  San  Francisco  there 
was  a  deal  of  talk,  a  lot  of  running 
around  and  a  good  bit  of  fun.  Under- 
lying the  talk,  the  running  around 
and  the  fun  was  a  serious  end  and 
aim.  Talk,  running  around  and  fun, 
the  wearing  of  badges,  the  button- 
holing of  delegates  are  part  and 
parcel  of  every  convention.  No  one 
has  yet  been  able  to  devise  a  con- 
vention that  did  not  function  that 
way.  But  the  San  Francisco  con- 
vention was  declared  to  be  the  big- 
gest and  best  ever  held  by  the 
Pacific  Coast  Advertising  Clubs' 
Association,  and  some  enthusiasts 
even  went  so  far  as  to  assert  it  was 
the  finest  convention  of  any  kind 
held  here  in  years. 

San  Francisco  is  a  popular  con- 
vention city,  esijecially  in  the  sum- 
mer time — San  Francisco  being  the 
coolest  city  in  the  summer  time  in 
the  United  States — and  the  state- 
ment that  the  ad  men's  convention 
was  the  best  held  here  in  recent 
years  sounds  like  a  rather  broad 
statement.  But  it  was  the  advertis- 
ing men  themselves  who  said  it  and 
it  is  their  liusiness  to  know.  More- 
over, "Truth  in  Advertising"  is  their 
slogan.  So  there  may  be  something 
in  what  they  said. 

A  convention   is  a  gathering  of 


■By  ELFORD  EDDY 


individuals  for  the  putting  over  of  a 
program.  It  is  a  clearinghouse  of 
ideas.  It  can  be  a  slaughterhou.se 
also,  but  the  convention  under  dis- 
cussion was  not  that.  It  was  a  clear- 
inghouse of  itleas  to  which  were 
brought  a  number  of  the  leading 
ideamongers  of  the  worlil.  It  was  a 
liberal  education  to  hear  them 
expound  their  ideas,  for  idealism  ran 
in  a  broad  stripe  through  the  length 
of  their  talks. 

Increasing  Service 

Governor  Wallace  R.  Farrington 
of  Hawaii,  the  convention  kcj-noter, 
who  made  the  inspirational  address 
in  the  pre-convention  meeting  in  the 
Greek  Theater  on  the  University  of 
California  campus  Monday  after- 
noon, July  5,  gave  an  excellent  idea 
of  the  purpo.ses  of  the  convention. 
He  made  it  clear  that  it  was  more 
than  a  getting  together  of  advertis- 
ing men  to  tell  one  another  how  to 
write  ads  that  would  sell  more  wares. 
Listen : 

"Advertising,"  said  Governor 
Farrington,  "once  was  shiftj'  and 
shallow.  Advertising  lacked  charac- 
ter. It  was  oidy  a  few  years  ago  that 
the  students  and  the  workers  laid 
hold  on  the  word  Truth  as  a  concen- 
trated appeal  to  the  divine  instincts 
of  the  human  family.  Then,  .sound 
principle  and  good  intentions  were 
gradually  and  surely  transformed 
into  a  force  that  could  be  more 
generall}'  used  in  bu.sine.ss — some- 
thing tangible  for  ever.y  daj'  life. 

"Thus,  advertising  once  empha- 
sized by  the  evil  company  in  which  it 
was  too  frequently  found,  has  stead- 
ily moved  forward  as  an  agency  of 
increasing  service,  a  power  when 
properly  used  that  will  electrify  our 
better  selves  and  generate  the 
energy  that  makes  men  pre.ss  for- 
ward to  new  fields,  greater  achieve- 
ments and  high  endeavor." 

The  ideal,  then,  of  the  hundreds 
of  men  and  women  attending  the 
convention  was  to  put  truth  in  ad- 
vertising and  keep  it  there.  To  write 
advertisements  that  would  carry  no 
misrepresentation.  But  don't  niLs- 
understand  the  situation.  The  ideal 
was  not  conceived  for  the  purposes 
of  this  convention,  not  suddenly  put 
into  practice.  Governor  Farrington 
said: 

"Truth-in-advertising,  adver- 
tised, broadcast,  made  a  daily  item 


<if  business  diet,  has  put  a  soul,  a 
living,  throbbing  .soul  into  bu.siness. 
Brief  and  to  the  point,  truth-in- 
advertising  has  demonstrated  in  a 
tangible  way  how  we  may  plant  in 
the  hearts,  and  develop  in  the  lives 
of  men  that  age-old  truism.  'What 
does  it  profit  a  man  if  he  gain  the 
whole  worW  and  lose  his  own  .soul.'  " 
It  is  not  the  ad  writer  alone  who 
has  adopted  the  Golden  Rule  as  the 
best  way  of  doing  business.  The  bus- 
iness man  long  ago  discarded  the  old 
Roman  trade  warning,  "Caveat 
emptor."  C.  King  Woodbridge,  pres- 
ident of  the  Associated  Advertising 
Clubs  of  the  World,  discussing 
"Service  Clubs  as  an  Aid  to  Inter- 
national Understanding,"  explained 
that  "It  has  taken  a  great  many 
years  to  develop  mutual  trust  among 
men.  The  'divine  right'  and  'the 
public  be  danmed'  .schools  have 
gradually  faded  out  of  existence.  As 
radio,  telephone,  telegraph,  aero- 
plane, automobile,  railroad  and  our 
great  daily  papers  and  national 
magazines  have  continually  increased 
the  swiftness  and  ease  of  communi- 
cation, we  have  grown  away  from 
the  individualistic  tendency  and 
found  a  new  spirit  which  reigns  to- 
day— the  spirit  of  cooperation  among 
men." 

Spirit  of  Cooperation 

It  is  this  spirit  of  cooperation 
among  men,  Woodbridge  .said,  which 
has  been  the  raison  d'etre  for  cham- 
bers of  commerce,  advertising  clubs, 
businessmen's  luncheon  clubs  of  all 
sorts.  "These  emphasize  ideals,  re- 
spect for  institutions  and  the  full 
utilization  of  our  facilities,  that  the 
))ublic  may  be  benefited."  He  con- 
tinued: 

"The  interesting  result  of  this 
spirit  of  cooperation  in  the  search 
for  ideals  is  that  it  increa.ses  the 
pleasure  and  the  profit  that  business 
men  acquire  in  rendering  a  service  to 
the  public." 

The  public  is  the  ultimate  con- 
sumer. "The  public  is  not  dumb.  The 
public  is  society.  It  reads  and  thinks. 
"In  the  old  days" — Woodbridge 
again — "business  was  a  ruthless 
game  of  the  .survaval  of  the  fittest — 
a  sort  of  pugilistic  contest."  Within 
the  last  half  century,  he  found, 
"there  has  opened  up  in  business 
circles  a  manifest  disposition  to  do 
unto  others  as  it  is  desirable  to  be 
done  by."  In  business,  as  in  play,  in 
everjiihing,  it  is  tit  for  tat.  "Since

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JULY  14,   1!I2B 


^30,000,000  WORTH  of  NEW  BUILDINGS 


But  nil  that  had  transpired  on  t 
first  day.  A  sort  of  preliminary  warm- 
up,  you  might  say,  to  the  big  event. 
Now  he  was  getting  down  to  oa.ses. 
Shipping,  Industry,  Buildings,  Real 
Estate.  This  day  he  had  set  aside 
for  the  buildings,  the  new  ones,  and 
try  as  he  might  he  couldn't  seem  to 
rover  them  all  in  the  allotted  hours. 
We  find  him  at  the  Russ  Building, 
blocking  once  more  the  sidewalk, 
and  herding  his  little  company  to- 
ward a  convenient  knot  hole. 


THERE  are  few  places  in  San 
Francisco  that  are  not  associated 
in  one  way  or  another  with  the 
romance  and  traditions  of  the  pio- 
neers, and  though  it  maj'  be  difficult 
at  times  to  connect  these  great 
modern  monuments  of  concrete  and 
steel  with  those  hard-fisted  souls  of 
the  roaring  forties,  it  can  be  done  if 
you  but  find  the  thread  that  holds 
the  present  to  the  past.  Mr.  Peter-s 
found  it  by  asking  questions. 

That  night,  in  a  court  room  of  his 
small  hotel,  long  after  Mother  and 
the  children  had  turned  their  tired 
faces  to  the  wall,  Mr.  Peters  pounded 
his  little  portable.  He  was  writing 


the  first  of  a  .series  of  monthly  letters 
to  the  Daily  Trombone  back  home, 
and  working  fast  to  crowd  into  it  all 
of  the  things  he  had  learned  during 
the  day  ere  they  would  be  shunted 
out  of  his  mind  by  wonders  yet  to 
come. 

At  last  he  collapsed  the  little 
machine  into  its  case  and  stretched 
the  kinks  out  of  his  aching  back.  A 
morning  cable  car  rattled  by  and 
the  young  Peterses  leaped  from  their 
beds,  ready  for  another  day.  Here  is 
Mr.  Peters'  story: 

"Today  I  saw  .$30,000,000  worth 
of  buildings  going  up  at  once.  And  I 
didn't  see  everything.  I  saw  one  that 


will  cost  $5,000,000  occupying  a 
piece  of  ground  that  was  bought  for 
S12..50.  It  will  be  thirty  stories  high 
when  it's  finished.  That's  the  Russ 
Building. 

"Away  back  in  1847  Adolph 
Gustav  Russ  came  to  San  Francisco 
in  a  sailing  transport  called  the  Loo 
Choo.  She  was  a  little  vessel  of  some 
600  tons,  and  the  first  thing  Mr. 
Russ  did  when  he  landed  here  was 
to  buy  this  piece  of  land  on  Mont- 
gomery Street.  Then  he  went  back  to 
the  ship  and  bought  the  cabin.  I 
think  the  cabin  must  have  cost  him 
more  than  the  property.  Anyway,  he 
chopped  it  down  and  brought  it 
ashore,  and  with  its  wood  he  built 
his   home.    It   was   the   first   Russ 


.SAN  FRANCISCO  HISINF.SS,  JII.V  14.  1926 


^30,000,000  JVorth.  of  New  J5uildings 


House.  He  lived  in  it  with  his  sons 
until  1862.  The  boys  used  to  shoot 
rabbits  where  this' new  S5,000,000 
building  is  now  going  up. 

In  1862  Russ  tore  down  his  home 
and  built  the  finest  hotel  in  town.  It 
was  the  original  Russ  Hou.se,  and 
stood  until  the  fire  of  1906.  I  found 
out  by  asking  one  of  the  foremen 
that  the  new  building  will  rise  418 
feet  from  the  sidewalk  and  will  have 
a  floor  area  of  350,000  square  feet. 
It  was  begun  in  Januarj',  1926,  and 
will  be  finished  November  1,  1927. 
They  certainly  do  work  fast  here, 
once  they  start. 

"Just  a  block  from  the  Russ 
Building  is  another,  almost  as  large, 
that  will  be  finished  about  the  same 
time.  It  is  the  Hunter-Dulin  Build- 
ing, 22  stories  and  §3,500,000. 

"The  history  of  this  property  is 
almost  as  interesting  as  the  story 
about  old  Mr.  Russ.  The  famous 
Lick  House,  which  boasted  the 
finest  hotel  dining  room  in  the  world, 
used  to  be  where  the  Hunter-Dulin 
Building  is  now  going  up.  It  was 
built  in  1862  by  James  Lick,  one  of 


[  continued  from  preceding  page  ) 

the  most  colorful  figures  in  San 
Francisco's  early  history. 

"Lick  came  to  California  from 
Lima,  Peru,  in  January,  1848.  He 
arrived  in  San  Francisco  just  seven- 
teen days  before  James  Marshall 
found  a  chispa  of  gold  in  the  sluice 
box  of  a  mill  at  Coloma.  News 
traveled  slowlj-  in  those  days  and  it 
took  weeks  for  the  cry  of  "gold, 
gold,"  to  reach  the  ears  of  San 
Franciscans  and  then  it  was  heard 
but  faintly.  May  was  half  over  be- 
fore the  real  rush  began,  and  the 
cry  of  "gold"  rose  to  a  shout 

"James  Lick  tramped  over  San 
Francisco,  choosing  the  lots  he  de- 
sired. Within  a  year  he  was  the 
largest  land  owner  in  the  city,  and 
among  his  many  purchases  was  an 
adobe  house  on  the  northeast  corner 
of  Jackson  and  Montgomerj'  streets. 
He  got  the  house  and  the  50-vara 
lot  on  which  it  stood  for  S3,000.  This 
was  an  unheard-of  sum,  and  the 
most  he  paid  for  any  of  his  holdings. 

"But  to  come  back  to  this  Hunter- 
Dulin  Building.  It  is  being  erected 
on  the  site  of  the  old  Lick  House,  a 
fitting  monument  to  the  romance  of

"A  good  address"  is  an  invaluable  asset.  .An 
organization  is  known  by  the  company  it  keeps.

centrated in  this  city.  Coffee  is 
shipped  from  here  all  over  the 
United  States  and  contributes  ma- 
terially to  San  Francisco's  splendid 
showing  in  the  coffee  industrj',  the 
largest  single  industrj'  in  volume  of 
manufactured  articles  in  this  city. 

The  building  consists  of  270,000 
.square  feet  floor  space.  There  are  six 
stories  with  a  tower  rising  to  a 
height  of  ten  stories  housing  their 
mi.^ang  equipment.  On  the  roof  are 
located  the  cafeteria  and  rest  rooms 
for  employees.  Two  spur  tracks  are 
provided  and  many  new  methods  of 
handling  have  been  installed,  which 
materially  contribute  to  lower  oper- 
ating costs. 

The  occupancy  of  this  building  by 
Hills  Bros,  marks  an  important  step 
in  their  progress.  Founded  fifty 
years  ago  by  A.  H.  and  R.  W.  Hills, 
who  are  still  the  active  heads  of  the 
business,  they  have  grown  from  a 
small  store  in  a  down-town  market 
to  one  of  the  largest  coffee  concerns 
in  the  world.

Sditors  of  r9\ation  Look 
Us  Over  on  ^Annual 


Outing 


staying  for  a  longer  period  of  time, 
the  convention  group  will  not 
officially  have  the  opportunity  of 
seeing  the  wonderful  "big  tree" 
section  of  the  state,  nor  the  a,£;ricul- 
tural  districts  where  such  tremen- 
dous projects  as  the  Sutter  Basin 
Land  Company  development  or  the 
Miller  &  Lux,  Inc.,  subdivision  of 
some  600,000  acres  in  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley  are  under  way. 

However,  San  Francisco  as  the 
metropolitan  center  of  this  Central 
California  district,  is  doing  its  ut- 
most to  make  the  N.  E.  A.  feel 
welcome  and  to  give  to  delegates  as 
widespread  a  view  of  this  section  as 
is  possible  within  the  restricted  time 
period.  And,  from  the  contact  of  the 
writer  with  quite  a  percentage  of  the 
delegates,  the  city  is  not  falling 
short  in  any  particular.  Fiction 
writers,  for  many  years,  have  pre- 
sented such  a  colorful  picture  of  the 
city  that  the  delegates  were  looking 
forward  to  an  unusual  number  of 
surprises  when  they  arrived  here. 
So  far,  no  complaints  have  been 
registered.  San  Francisco's  terraced 
streets,  its  funny  little  cable  cars, 
its  cool  summer  climate  (particu- 
larly at  night,  when  the  temperature 
makes  sleep  a  pleasure  instead  of  a 
tedious  chore),  its  cosmopolitan 
shopping  atmosphere  and  its  many 
unique  "sections"  intrigue  the  inter- 
est of  its  editorial  guests  and  seem  to 
delight  them  with  the  city  of  which 
ex-President  Taft  said  something 
that  we  never  say.  All  of  which, 
naturally,  pleases  us  beyond  meas- 
ure. 

Later  in  this  article  we  may  (the 
editor  willing!)  say  a  few  kind  words 
about  the  men  who  have  led  and  in 
future  will  govern  the  policies  of  the 
N.  E.  A.  But  we  wish  to  take  this 
particular  opportunity  of  giving 
thanks  for  tlie  assignment  to  a  con- 
vention gathering  which  harbored 
more  than  the  usual  number  of 
feminine  members.  To  recount  all  of 
them  (even  to  endeavor  to  describe 
the  ensemble  of  all  of  them  as  we 
saw  them  in  the  lobby  of  the  Clift 
Hotel)  would  take  pages.  Fast  as  is 
our  shorthand  we  could  only  jot 
down  a  few  of  those  who  made  this 
convention  stand  out  from  the  rest 
for  its  brilliant  showing  of  the  so- 
called  weaker  sex.  There  was,  for 
instance,  Mrs.  Frank  Edgecombe, 
wife  of  the  retiring  president  of  the 
orgrnization.  Edgecombe,  it  seems,

occupied  48,000  square  feet  while  at 
the  new  location  they  are  using 
84,000  square  feet.  This  move  was

his  eyes.  She  is  with  him  at  all  times 
— describing  what  is  passing  before 
those  who  see  with  mortal  eyes. 
Later,  at  his  home,  Edgecombe  sits 
down  and  writes  articles  and  edi- 
torials that  tell  in  colorful  words  the 
things  that  his  wife  has  described  to 
him.  His  mastery  of  detail  is  the 
wonder  of  all  those  with  whom  he

figure  of  the  wife  who  has  brought 
these  pictures  so  realistically  to  his 
mind.

Miss  Mary  Althouse,  Sellersville,

of  Jersey  City  were  but  four  of  the 
several  dozen  girls  and  women  who 
made  this  convention  unusual  by 
their  presence. 

The  writer  was  fortunate  in  cor- 
nering for  a  half  hour  William  L. 
Daley,  the  association's  legislative 
representative  in  Washington,  D.  C. 
He  brought  out  the  interesting  fact 
that  the  association  for  the  entire 
forty  odd  }'ears  of  its  existence  has 
consistently  opposed  the  govern- 
mental production  of  articles  when 
they  can  be  produced  by  private 


enterprise.  At  the  present  time  the 
association  is  particularly  interested 
in  combating  government  competi- 
tion in  the  printing  of  special  request 
addresses  on  government  stamped 
envelopes  and  in  the  lowering  of 
second-class  postage  rates. 

The  newly  elected  president  of  the 
association  is  one  Herman  Roe,  pub- 
Usher  of  the  Northfield  (Minnesota) 
News.  He  is  distinguished  for  several 
things.  In  the  first  place,  he  is  the 
youngest  president  the  organization 
has  ever  had.  He  still  has  one  score 
and  ten  of  his  allotted  three  score 
and  ten  years  to  go.  He  is  chairman 
of  the  Republican  State  Central 
Committee  and  president  of  the 
Minnesota  State  Fair  Association. 
Along  with  all  this  he  has  managed 
to  find  time  to  add  five  to  the  Minne- 
sota census  totals.

Charles  M.  Meredith,  the  newly 
elected  vice-pre.sident,  is  the  pub- 
lisher of  the  Quakerlnum  Free  Press 
(now,  will  some  bright  little  pupil 
tell  teacher  what  state  Mr.  Mere- 
dith is  from?).  He  is  president  of  the 
Penn.sylvania  Publishers'  Associa- 
tion. 

The  executive  secretary  of  the 
editors  Ijecame  at  once  an  interest- 
ing subject,  for  the  writer  had  al- 
ready met  his  extremely  charming 
daughter.  This,  together  with  the 
fact  that  he  is  the  State  Commis- 
sioner of  Touring  in  Minnesota  and 
head  of  the  10,000  Lakes  Associa- 
tion, made  him  eligible  for  more  than 
Ijeing  listed  merely  as  "among  those 
present."  The  Hotalings  are  making 
this  convention  a  regular  family 
tour.  Dad,  Mother  and  daughter  are 
all  along. 

Upon  entering  the  Clift  Hotel  the 
writer  asked  a  delegate  where  he 
should  inquire  for  information  re- 
garding the  convention  doings. 

"You  see  that  big  cigar  over 
there?"  the  delegate  a.sked,  and 
upon  our  answering  Ln  the  affirma- 
tive he  continued,  "Well,  if  you  go 
over  to  one  side  of  it,  j'ou'll  find  G. 
S,  Chapman  behind  it." 

And  sure  enough,  there  he  was. 
Funny  how  they  always  shove  ofif 
the  big  jobs  on  the  little  fellows, 
isn't  it?  Chapman  is  from  Sanders- 
ville,  Georgia.  That's  quite  a  re- 
sponsibility in  itself.  In  addition,  he 
has  to  get  out  all  the  publicit}'  about 
the  convention.  We  understand  that 
the  association  must  rent  three 
rooms  for  him  in  everj'  hotel.  He 
works  in  the  middle  one,  but  no  one 
will  take  rooms  on  either  side  of  him 
because  his  typewTiter  keeps  them 
awake  all  night.  So,  to  forestall  com- 
plaints to  the  hotel  managements, 
the  editors  just  reser\-e  the  three 
rooms  and  let  it  go  at  that. 

All  told,  there  are  about  360  in 
the  party.  Twenty-two  cities  have 
bid  for  the  next  convention  and 
Omaha  has  been  tentatively  selected 
for  1927.  A?  indicated  in  the  opening 
guns  of  this  immortal  thesis,  this  is 
a  valuable  convention.  And,  while 
San  Francisco  was  not  the  conven- 
tion city,  we  can  certainly  con- 
gratulate ourselves  upon  the  fact 
that  the  editors  decided  to  drop  up 
here  for  a  five-day  stay  after  the  big 
doings  in  Los  Angeles. 


SAX  FRANCISCO  BI'SINESS,  JULY  14.  1926 


A  Close-up  of  business  Conditions 


%  JOHN  W.  O'LEARY 

'President  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
of  the  United  States 

USINESS  continues 
good.  Viewed  at  close 
range  minor  dips  and 
recessions  might  be  no- 
ticeable but  in  long  per- 
spective it  clearly  appears  to  be  on  a 
sound  and  firm  basis. 

This  conclusion  is  justified  not 
only  by  the  progress  it  has  been  and 
is  now  making,  but  by  a  scrutiny  of 
the  basic  factors  upon  which  a  con- 
tinuance of  this  favorable  activity 
rests. 

Corporations — through  which 
business  in  the  United  States  is 
largely  conducted — show  substan- 
tial profits.  The  flow  of  transporta- 
tion is  maintained  in  unabating 
volume.  Production  is  well  sustained. 
Bank  credits  are  ample  to  meet  in- 
creasing commercial  demands.  Price 
changes  are  in  the  line  of  normal 
readjustment  and  stocks  are  kept 
by  manufacturers  and  distributors 
at  a  conservative  level. 

More  than  this,  the  irregularities 
resulting  from  economic  derange- 
ments in  the  post-war  period  are  fast 
disappearing  and  business  is  going 
forward  in  more  even  ranks,  with 
less  evidence  of  contrasting  stagna- 
tion and  undue  expansion  between 
industries  and  sections. 

Business  has  been  more  active  in 
the  spring  of  1926  than  it  was  in 
1925. 

A  high  degree  of  prosperity  is  re- 
flected in  the  income  of  corporations 
which  paid  in  the  ten  months  ending 
with  April  30,  1926,  in  the  form  of 
Federal  income  taxes,  .$822,000,000 
— a  sum  16  per  cent  larger  than  that 
collected  for  the  same  period  ending 
April  30,  1925. 

One  hundred  and  eight  industrial 
and  mercantile  corporations  show 
net  profits,  as  reported  by  the  New 
York  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  of 
$162,000,000  for  the  first  quarter  of 
1926,  compared  with  $125,000,000 
for  the  first  quarter  of  1925.  Of  the 
nine  industrial  groups  into  which 
these  corporations  are  divided  only 
one,  leather,  showed  a  decrease  in 
net  profits. 

For  the  same  period  public  utility 
companies  show  net  profits  of  868,- 
000,000  this  year,  as  against  $59,- 
000,000  last  year. 

Net  profits  of  Class  I  railroads  for 
the  quarter  show  net  profits  in  192G 


JOHN  W.  O'LEARY 


of  .$223,000,000,  compared  with 
$204,000,000  for  1925. 

Bank  debits  to  individual  ac- 
counts, which  reflect  with  fair 
accuracy  the  total  volume  of  all 
sorts  of  business  transactions,  show, 
for  cities  other  than  New  York  City, 
an  aggregate  total  greater  by  3  per 
cent  for  the  first  four  months  of  the 
present  year  than  for  the  same 
period  last  year. 

Bank  debits  by  Federal  reserve 
districts  show  further  that  business 
activity  is  being  evenly  maintained 
in  all  sections  of  the  country — a 
further  indication  that  we  are  work- 
ing toward  a  normal  economic 
balance. 

Po.stal  receipts  at  fifty  selected 
offices  show,  for  April,  1926,  an  in- 
crease of  6  per  cent  over  April,  1925. 
In  the  first  four  months  of  1926  the 
average  of  excess  over  the  corre- 
sponding months  for  1925  has  been 
9  per  cent.  Here,  too,  the  rate  of  in- 
crease is  found  to  be  reasonably  uni- 
form in  all  sections  of  the  countrj'.

also  points  the  way  business  is  going,

Holding  Port  Leadership 


TWV,  Port  of  San  Franci.sco  dur- 
ing 192.5  easily  maintained  its 
pomianent  pfisition  as  premier 
Pacific  Coast  port  and  as  Ainerican 
port  second  only  to  New  York.  In 
192.5,  6,6.5.5  ship.s,  aggregating  15,- 
.3.39,420  net  registered  tons,  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  Bay  and  approxi- 
mately the  same  number  and  ton- 
nage departed. 

The  first  si.x  months  of  1926  indi- 
cate that  the  foreign  and  domestic 
trade  of  San  Franci-sco  is  still  in- 
creasing. The  period  from  .Januarj' 
1st  to  .July  1st,  1926,  showed  an  in- 
crease of  more  than  1(X)  arrivals  and 
departures  over  the  same  period  of  a 
year  ago,  with  an  increased  tonnage 
of  1,187,96.5  net  registered  tons. 
Thus  not  only  is  the  number  of  ships 
arriving  and  departing  increasing 
but  the  size  of  the  average  size  of  the 
ships  is  also  increasing. 

San  Francisco,  we  may  mention  in 
passing,  is  second  to  New  York  as  a 
home  port  for  American  ships,  ac- 
cording to  the  report  of  the  U.  S. 
Commissioner  of  Navigation.  Sev- 
enty-eight steamship  services  oper- 
ate out  of  San  Francisco  including 
eleven  Oriental  ser\aces,  16  to  Eu- 
ropean ports,  15  intercoastal,  12  to 
Latin  Ainerica,  6  to  Australia,  4  to 
Hawaii,  9  coastwise,  1  to  Alaska  and 
1  to  Africa,  and  2  Round  the  World. 
In  addition  there  are  the  Sacramento 
and  San  Joaquin  ri^■er  steamers. 

We  have  then  36  ships  passing  in 
or  out  of  the  Golden  Gate  every  day. 
Some  of  these  ships  are  great  large 
hners  of  20,000  tons  or  more,  others 
are  little  lumlser  schooners  of  a  few- 
hundred  tons  which  run  up  the  coast 
and  into  the  shallow  bar  harbors, 
and  there  are  a  few,  a  very  few,  sail- 
ing ships.  The  36  ships  a  day  have, 
however,  an  average  of  2,300  net 
registered  tons  which  indicates,  as 
would  a  walk  along  the  waterfront, 
the  large  scale  of  operations  in  the 
shipping  business  of  San  Francisco 
Bay. 

These  ships  passing  through  the 
Golden  Gate  in  1925  carried  28,046,- 
728  tons  of  cargo  valued  at  $1,635,- 
365,111. 

Of  this  tonnage  3,273,000  tons 
valued  at  8380,389,188  Ls  to  and 
from  foreign  countries.  In  1905 
foreign  trade  was  valued  at  .S96,000,- 
000:  in  1915  at  .$157,000,000.  To  re- 
vert to  the  1925  commerce,  1,843,- 
000  tons  valued  at  more  than  .?140,- 
000,000  was  to  and  from  Hawaii; 
2,082,000  tons  valued  at  about  8250,- 
000,000  is  intercoastal;  and  the  re- 


maining 19  odd  million  tons  valued 
at  some  8900,000,000  is  coastwise 
movements.  To  this  must  Ix;  added 
the  9,900,000  tons  of  inland  water- 
way cargo  of  San  Francisco  Bay  with 
the  tributary  river  systems  valued  in 
1925  at  8668,857,224. 
We  thus  have  the  total  1925  com-

X  HE  e^ablishment  of  E.  H.  Rollins  6?  Sons  was  coincident 
with  the  Centennial  celebration  in  1876;  so  that  in  1926, 
while  the  Nation  is  celebrating  its  150th  birthday,  this  firm 
will  have  completed  its  fir^  half  century. 

Pioneers  in  enterprises  on  which  are  now  based  the  sounded 
and  most  seasoned  inve^ments,  this  firm,  through  the  under' 
writing  and  wide  di^ribution  of  securities,  has  played  an  im' 
portant  part  in  the  growth  and  con^rudtive  development  of 
this  Nation  during  the  pa^  fifty  years. 

For  more  than  thirty  years  this  firm  has  taken  an  adtive  part 
in  financing  con^rucftive  enterprises  on  the  Pacific  Coa^,  and 
was  the  fir^  bond  house  to  open  an  ofiice  in  California.

concerning  San  Francisco  are  en- 
tiiely  wrong.  If  you  were  out  here 
with  me  you'd  know  what  I  mean. 
You've  printed  many  yarns  yourself 
about  strikes  and  fogs  and  cold 
winds  and  other  things  that  are  un- 
desirable. Strangely  I  haven't  seen 
any  of  them  yet  with  the  exception 
of  the  carpenters'  strike,  which  really 
does  e.xist.  But  I  find  that  it  is  very 
far  short  of  being  a  building  tie-up, 


and  you'd  understand  what  I  mean 
if  you  could  hear  some  of  this 
hammering. 

"One  of  the  most  interesting 
buildings  now  nearing  completion  is 
the  82,000,000  Apparel  Center 
Building  on  Fourth  Street  just  south 
of  Market.  The  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  in  a  measure  responsible 
for  it,  and  when  completed  it  will 
house  the  Federation  of  Apparel 
Manufacturers.    Then    there's    the 


new  SI, 000. 000  hotel,  sixteen  stories, 
going  up  at  Market  and  Xinth  and 
the  half  -  million  -  dollar  Insurance 
Building  at  Pine  and  Sansome.  That 
will  be  fifteen  stories.  Down  on  the 
I'mbarcadero  they're  working  on 
the  Army  and  Nax'j"  Y.  M.  C.  A., 
eight  stories  and  a  tower,  costing 
S900.000.  At  Market  and  Hayes 
the  New  Capitol  Theatre  will  cost 
§2,000,000  and  will  seat  forty-eight 
hundred.  Just  a  few  blocks  farther 
along  on  Market  they're  working  on 
a  -5300,000  seven-story  hotel.  In  the 
Italian  quarter  I  saw  another  new 
theatre  which  will  cost  §200,000,  It 
will  seat  eighteen  hundred. 

"You  don't  have  to  stay  in  the 
business  section  to  see  new  buildings. 
At  Geary  and  Eleventh  Avenue 
they're  hammering  on  a  six-story, 
§200,000  hotel.  That's  quite  a  way 
out.  But  you  can  go  still  farther 
west  and  run  into  whole  blocks  of 
pretty  little  new  homes,  and  many 
big  ones. 

"They  call  it  a  building  program. 
It  is.  Ail  of  that.  The  .§30,000,000  I 
mentioned  at  the  beginning  of  this 
article  referred  only  to  the  business 
buildings.  I  can't  estimate  the 
homes,  for  there  are  too  many  of 
them.  But  take  it  from  me,  it's 
some  program."

LATEST  FIGURES  SHOW  PROSPERITY  OF  SAN  FRANCISCO 


Uni>recodented  prosperity  in  San 
Francisco,  premier  port  of  the 
Pacific,  is  shown  in  record-smashing 
trade  gains  as  reported  by  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce. 

Bank  clearings  for  the  first  six 
months  of  the  year  total  .S4,883,332,- 
101,  an  increase  of  $415,349, 13.5  over 
the  first  six  months  of  1925. 

The  twelve  months  of  1925  held 
the  previous  high  mark,  the  year's 
total  amounting  to  §9,479,311,406, 
but  at  the  present  rate  of  increase 
1926  will  shatter  that  high  record. 

In  building  operations,  the  first 
six  months  register  S32,223,117  as 
compared  with  §27,217,641  for  the 
first  six  months  of  1925,  an  increase 
of  85,005,476  for  the  half-year 
period.  Skyscraper  construction  is 
unparalleled  in  the  history  of  the 
city.

The  territory  embraced 
covers  that  area  from  San  Jose 
to  San  Francisco  and  from  the 
Santa  Cruz  mountains  to  San

The  upward  trend  in  business  is 
further  shown  bv  the  postoffice  re- 
ceipts which  net  a  gain  of  .«;263,549.90 
over  the  first  six  months  of  1925. 


The  current  half-year  totaled  S4,- 
102,2.34.29  as  compared  with  .$3, 
8.38,684.39. 

Real  estate  sales  totaled  .S92,989,- 
898,  an  increase  of  $585,557  over  the 
first  six  months  of  last  year  when  the 
realtv  transactions  amounted  to 
$92,404,341. 

Shijiping  is  another  index  to  the 
ever-growing  business  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, the  marine  department  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  reporting 
6,687  ships  as  arriving  and  departing 
during  the  half-year  period.  This 
compares  with  6,581  arrivals  and 
departures  during  the  first  six 
months  of  1925,  a  gain  of  106  ships, 
bringing  cargoes  from  the  seven 
seas.  The  tonnage  increase  is  987,965 
tons,  the  six  months  total  being 
15,471,219  as  compared  with  14,- 
483,2,54  in  the  first  half  vear  of  1925.

It  is  also  a  fact  that  the  value  and 
tonnage  of  cargo  passing  over  the 
wharves  of  San  Francisco  Bay  in 
1925  was  more  than  equal  to  the  ton-

San  Francisco  Bay  shipping  has 
an  excess  of  nearly  4,000,000  tons  of 
cargo,  and  $400,000,000  value  over 
the  combined  tonnage  and  value  of 
the  cargo  of  other  leading  Pacific 
Coast  ports  in  total  waterborne 
commerce  with  both  foreign  and 
domestic  ports.  The  statistics  are 
from  official  sources:  the  Seattle  Port 
Warden's  Annual  Report;  the  Port 
of  Portland  Commission,  Traffic  Bu- 
reau; the  Statistical  Department  of 
the  Los  Angeles  Harbor  Commis- 
sion; and  the  San  Francisco  District 
Office  of  the  United  States  Army 
Engineers. 

The  above  statement  may  appear 
startling  in  view  of  counterclaims 
which  have  been  set  forth  at  times 
and  it  is  interesting  to  note  that 
.several  other  American  ports  have 
put  forth  claims  from  time  to  time  as 
second  American  port.  New  Orleans 
bases  its  claim  on  foreign  trade  alone 
in  the  total  of  which  it  is  second  to 
New  York.  However,  Galveston 
exceeds  New  Orleans  in  exports  and 
Boston  in  1925,  Seattle  in  former 
years,  placed  second  to  New  York  in 
imports.  In  total  trade  New  Orleans 
stands  7th  in  tonnage,  5th  in  value; 
Boston  8th  in  tonnage,  7th  in  value; 
Seattle  10th  in  tonnage,  6th  in  value; 
Galveston  below  12th  and  Los  An- 
geles 4th  in  tonnage  and  9th  in 
value. 

Los  Angeles  based  its  claim  to 
second  American  port  on  Shipping 
Board  tonnage  statistics  which  form- 
erly listed  San  Francisco  City  as  a 
port  entirely  alone  and  placed  the 
rest  of  the  San  Francisco  Bay  in  a 
conglomerated  category,  "Other  Pa- 
cific Coast  Ports."  Philadelphia 
which  is  third  American  port  in  both 
cargo  tonnage  and  value  shows  be- 
low Los  Angeles  in  Shipping  Board 
tonnage  statistics  which,  except  in

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JULY  14,  1926 


JVh^it  the  Ad  Clubs''  Convention  Meant 


business  men  have  applied  the  prin- 
ciples of  sportsmanship  and  honesty 
and  have  developed  the  understand- 
ing that  both  sides  must  profit  if 
business  transactions  are  to  be  lasting, 
we  have  seen  great  industrial  de- 
velopment and  a  wholesome  respect 
for  our  business  institutions." 

Since  "Truth  in  Advertising,"  the 
motto  of  the  ad  men,  was  something 
that  had  been  emphasized  for  years, 
there  must  needs  be  some  other 
motive  for  this  gathering.  There  was. 
"Stabilization  of  prosperity."  Why 
and  how? 

"We  would  stabilize  prosperity  by 
advertising,"  proclaimed  Governor 
Farrington,  the  convention  key- 
noter. "The  greatest  stabilizer  of 
prosperity  is  a  government  with 
every  loyal  citizen  doing  his  full 
duty."  It  is  time,  he  said,  to  begin 
advertising  good  citizenship. 

"If  there  was  a  field  for  truth  in 
advertising  twenty-five  years  ago, 
there  is  now  a  nation-wide  oppor- 
tunity for  advertising  service  in 
driving  home  the  fundamental  duty 
involved  in  the  divine  right  to  vote. 
If  the  people  of  the  colonies  assumed 
a  great  responsibility  in  starting  this 
nation,  ours  is  not  a  whit  less  in 
keeping  it  going." 

There  is  an  ideal  of  service  for  you. 
To  devote  the  same  thought  and 
wealth  to  the  development  of  good 
citizen.ship  that  is  spent  on  art  and 
education.  The  governor  asserted: 

"The  day  should  not  be  far  dis- 
tant when  the  man  or  the  men  with 
surplus  to  bestow  and  endow  will 
find  a  pleasant  way  to  serve  God  and 
country  b,y  setting  the  writers  and 
the  artists  at  work  on  miUion-dollar 
advertising  campaigns  to  proclaim 
and  repeat  and  re-proclaim  the  full 
duty  of  citizenship,  so  that  good 
resolutions  passed  by  in.spiring  con- 
ventions shall  daily  hve  in  the  hearts 
of  men  and  urge  them  into  daily 
service,  so  that  citizens  shall  not 
only  study  their  government,  but 
shall  also  participate  in  their  gov- 
ernment, know  what  it  is  doing  and 
influence  its  performance  by  exercis- 
ing the  divine  right  to  vote." 

There  you  have  the  advertising 
man  grasping  a  real  ideal,  consecrat- 
ing himself  to  a  worth-while  task — 
the  stabilization  of  prosperity  by 
helping  to  bring  about  a  universal 
sense  of  responsibiUty  among  men — 
a  consciousness  of  citizenship. 

"No  higher  service,"  said  Gover- 
nor Farrington  in  clo.sing,  "can  be 
rendered  than  that  for  which  the 
advertising  men  of  this  nation  are 


[  continued  from  page  8  ] 

especially  trained — the  translation 
of  ideals  into  plain  phrasing,  and 
finally — the  transformation  of  an 
ideal  into  action." 

So  in  the  registration  of  the  dele- 
gates in  convention  headquarters  in 
the  Hotel  St.  Francis;  the  general 
and  departmental  sessions  of  the 
convention  in  Native  Sons'  Hall; 
the  noonday  luncheons  in  the  St. 
Francis  and  in  aU  the  gestures  of  the 
gathering,  there  was  an  underlying 
motive  and  ideal — the  stabilization 
of  prosperity. 

At  the  first  general  session  of  the 
convention  Lou  E.  Holland,  presi- 


dent of  the  National  Better  Business 
Bureaus,  of  the  Kansas  City  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  and  former  presi- 
dent of  the  Associated  Advertising 
Clubs  of  the  World,  discussed  the 
purposes  for  which  advertising  is 
organized.  Alvin  E.  Dodd,  manager 
of  the  donicsdi'  distribution  depart- 
ment of  the  ('h:iiiilicr  of  Cciiumerce 
of  the  United  States,  discussing  the 
problem  of  distriliution,  explained 
how  advertising  "takes  on  the  char- 
acter of  an  important  instrument  of 
economic  adjustment."  Times  have 
changed,  and  today  it  is  not  merely

Dodd,  "with  a  much  more  compli- 
cated proljlem  than  wasever  dreamed 
of  ten  years  ago.  It  is  a  definite,  un- 
controvertible and  profound  fact 
that  distribution  has  now  a  multi- 
tude of  heatLs  where  it  had  but  one  a 
generation  ago.  .\11  of  these  must  be 
unflerstood  as  component  parts  of 
the  prolilem  which  must  be  solved 
for  their  clients  by  those  who  give 
advice  on  advertising  policies  and 
expenditures." 

Once  organized  the  convention 
moved  swiftly.  F'or  the  sake  of  ex- 
pediency advertising  was  reduced  to 
its  components  of  community,  tlirect 
mail,  educational,  graphic  arts,  re- 
tail, clas.sified.  financial.  newspaix"r, 
pubUc  utilities  and  outdoor,  and 
each  of  these  components  was  dis- 
cussed in  a  convention  within  the 
convention.  The  convention  theme, 
stabilization  of  prosperity,  was  dis- 
cussed by  men  and  women  delegates 
in  short  talks.  George  L.  Rauch  of 
Portland  touched  on  the  psychologj- 
of  advertising  when  he  declared  that 
while  supply  and  demand  remain 
the  fundamental  law,  demand,  in 
this  countrj'  at  least,  is  mental.  He 
explained  how  this  psychology-  can

SManagement 

The  new  management  of  a  property  always 
wants  the  public  to  have  a  good  opinion 
of  it  from  the  start. 

This  ease  of  achievement  is  not  in  the  nature 
of  things.  Good  opinion  must  be  earned 
— sometimes  very  slowly. 

The  Byllesby  Organization  owes  whatever 
success  it  has  had  to  trying  to  serve  the 
public  in  the  way  the  public  wants  to  be 
served.  This  is  the  only  program  it  has 
for  San  '^rancisco.

Ix-  employed  to  advantage  in  busi- 
ness: 

"Organized  advertising  by  co- 
operative effort  can  educate  the 
public  to  buv  for  quality  and  perma- 
nence during  periods  of  abnormal 
prosperity.  Discourage  over-expan- 
sion and  the  purcha.se  of  fad.-i.  Teach 
the  doctrine  of  building  surplus  at 
the  peak  of  wasting  upon  extrava- 
gance. Teach  to  expand  business 
average  and  normal  needs  and  not 
for  crest  demands." 

Norma n  \V.  Brocket t,  of  the  -Ad- 
vertising Club  of  .Seattle,  challenged 
the  a.s-sertion  of  Emerson,  "If  a  man 
build  a  better  mouse  trap  than  his 
neighbor,  the  world  will  make  a 
Ijeaton  path  to  his  door."  Brockett 
commented : 

"When  Emerson  published  those 
lines,  he  advertised  to  the  world  that 
he  had  never  .sold  any  mouse  traps. 
The  first  manufacturer  of  the  safety 
razor  followed  his  philosophy  and 
the  path  to  his  modest  factorj-  was 
rarely  trod.  Mr.  Gillett  advertised  to 
the  whole  world  that  his  razor  was  a 
nece.ssarj-  part  of  the  [X'rsonal  equip- 
ment of  every  real  gentleman.  He 
.stabiUzed  his  prosperity  by  con- 
tinuous advertising.  Experience  has 
proven  that  should  he  cease  to  ad- 
vertise his  sales  will  decrease  in 
direct  ratio." 

This  issue  of  Sa.v  Filvncisco 
Business  might  Ije  filled  with  the 
discussions  of  Farrington,  Wood-

Hahn.  president  of  the  National  Re- 
tail Dry  Goods  A.ssociation.  .\  book 
— and  a  rather  hefty  one — would  be 
required  for  all  the  speeches  that 
were  made.  More  than  a  page  would 
Ije  required  to  give  the  subjects  dis- 
cus.sed  and  the  names  of  those  who 
talked.  Pages  could  be  devoted  to 
the  entertainment  of  the  visitors, 
what  they  thought  of  .San  Francisco, 
how  Honolulu  and  Portland  put  up 
a  battle  for  next  year's  convention 
and  how  Portland  won  out,  the  ad- 
vertising displays  in  the  basement  of 
Native  Sons'  Hall,  the  trophies 
awarded,  the  three-minute  talks,  the 
skits  of  stunts'  night,  the  breakfasts, 
luncheons,  dimiers  and  banquets, 
the  importance  of  the  men  and  wo- 
men in  attendance,  the  tokens  pre- 
sented, such  as  the  platinum  watch 
given  to  Don  E.  Oilman,  the  retiring 
president  of  the  association. 

But  those  are  matters  of  import- 
ance chiefly  to  the  people  who  came

ALL  over  the  then-known 
/~\  world  the  runners  and 
mounted  messengers  of  ancient 
Assyria  bore  the  decrees  and 
edictsof  their  rulers.  Trainedtor 
fleetness  and  endurance,  these 
message  bearers  of  a  vanished 
empire  stood  at  their  posts,  strip- 
ped for  the  task,  prepared  for 
instant  dispatch  of  whatever 
was  given  them  to  speed  to  dis- 
tant points. 

The  universal  message  bearer 
now  is  the  telephone.  Its  nation- 


wide range  has  come  about 
through  a  far-flung  system  ot 
wires,  cables,  switchboards 
and  supplementary  apparatus. 
Through  the  cooperation  of  a 
vast  army  of  men  and  women  it 
daily  transmits  the  thoughts  and 
desires  of  millions. 

It  is  because  of  unceasing  in- 
spection, watchfulness,  coordi- 
nation and  all  else  that  makes 
for  instant  readiness  that  Amer- 
icans today,  anywhere,  can  talk 
to  one  another,  any  time.

BUSINESS 


A  new  firm  entering  a  new  territory  must  make 
new  friends,  and  established  firms  have  a  chance  of 
obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  new- 
comers if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This 
department  was  created  with  the  intention  of  de- 
veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce.  It  is  a  compilation  of  the  names  of 
new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  from  many  sources.  It  is  released  with- 
out specific  check-up,  as  firms  generally  prefer  to 
investigate  for  themselves  without  waiting  for  de- 
tailed verification.  In  addition  to  new  concerns  the 
list  includes  reports  of  removals  and  expansions. 

Business  men  can  enhance  the  value  of  this  serv- 
ice and  make  this  department  a  clearing  house  for 
Buch  news  by  mailing  in  or  telephoning  tips  to

New  Locomotives  to 
Molpe  State's  Crops 

Four  new  giant  three-cylinder 
locomotives  have  been  delivered  to 
Southern  Pacific  at  Sacramento  and 
nineteen  more  are  completed  and 
en  route  across  the  continent.  This 
completes  an  order  of  twenty-three 
placed  by  the  company  early  in  the 
year.  These  locomotives  will  be 
ready  for  the  heavy  perishable  move- 
ment this  fall  when  California  crops 
will  be  moving  to  market  by  the 
trainload. 

The  new  locomotives,  equally 
efficient  in  handling  both  freight  and 
passenger  traffic,  are  known  as  the 
Southern  Pacific  three-cylinder  type. 
In  service  over  the  Sierra  Nevadas 
between  Roseville,  California,  and 
Sparks,  Nevada,  they  have  demon- 
strated ample  capacity  to  haul 
trains  formerly  requiring  two  loco- 
motives. 

Designed  by  the  railroad's  own 
motive  power  engineers,  the  locomo- 
tives were  constructed  at  Schenec- 
tady, N.  Y.,  by  the  American 
Locomotive  Company. 


A  Fifth  Avenue  jeweler  in  New 
York  City  exhibits  this  sign  in  his 
window:  "Pearls  and  Other  Pre- 
cocious Stones."  Oysters,  it  seems, 
are  getting  entirely  too  smart. — 
—The  Outlook. 


Fashionable  dogs  who  are  taken 
out  for  an  airing  on  Piccadilly  or 
Rotten  Row  in  London  now  have 
dainty  little  handkerchiefs  tucked 
in  their  collars.  Their  mistresses 
argue  that  if  men  and  women  carry 
handkerchiefs,  why  shouldn't  Hector 
or  Rover? — The  Outlook.

increased  for  the  first  four  months  of 
1926,  12  per  cent  over  the  output  for 
the  same  period  last  year. 

Wholesale  price  changes  in  the 
aggregate  show  a  declining  tendency 
but  the  readjustments  are  in  the 
main  in  the  direction  of  equalization 
rather  than  of  reduction.  Those 
which  have  been  verj'  high  have 
lieen  reduced  while  in  some  ca.ses 
tho.se  below  the  average  level  have 
been  increased. 

In  foreign  trade  there  has  been 
during  the  first  four  months  of  1926 
an  excess  fif  imports  over  exports, 
but  the  curtailment  of  exports  of 
cotton,  grain  and  copper  has  been 
offset  in  large  mea.sure  by  encourag- 
ing gains  in  numerous  lines  of  Ameri- 
can manufactures.  An  excess  of  im- 
ports need  not  be  discouraging. 
Such  excesses  for  three  consecutive 
months  occurred  in  1910,  1914  and 
192.3. 

From  some  sections  a  slight  .slack- 
ening in  business  activity  is  reported. 
In  many  instances  this  is  directly 
attributed  to  seasonal  derangements, 
abnormally  cool  or  wet  weather,  and 
its  effect  upon  agricultural  opera- 
tions. This  hesitancy  is  probably 
indicative  of  the  spirit  of  conserva- 
tism which  prevails  generally  in  the 
business  field.  Its  significance  may 
be  regarded  as  onl3'  of  temporary 
import. 

In  general  it  may  be  said  that 
business  is  going  forward  with  de- 
liberate caution,  smoothing  out  the 
inequalities  that  have  hitherto  pre- 
vailed, and  that  the  progress  it  is 
making  has  all  the  earmarks  of 
normal,  permanent  growth. 


from  p»Rr  15  I 

I  might  add  that  business  can  well 
feel  encouraged  at  the  excellent 
condition  of  government  finances  as 
shown  in  the  recently  published 
figures  on  revenue  surplus.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  JULY  14,  1926 


[  continued  from  page  20  ] 

the  case  of  the  Great  Lakes,  are 
based  on  ocean  tonnage  alone,  and 
this  excludes  of  course  Philadelphia's 
rich  river  commerce.  Los  Angeles  is 
a  one-commodity  port,  similar  to  the 
Gulf  cotton  ports,  New  Orleans  and 
Galveston,  and  Seattle,  the  main  silk 
port.  The  commodity  of  Los  An- 
geles, petroleum,  gives  the  port 
cargo  a  low  unit  value  of  $30  per 
ton. 

The  Bay  as  a  Unit 

In  passing  we  might  mention  that, 
upon  representation  by  the  Foreign 
Trade  Department  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce,  the 
Shipping  Board  Bureau  of  Statistics 
has  agreed  to  show  San  Francisco 
Bay  shipping  as  a  unit  in  its  sub- 
sequent reports.  Thus  the  28,000,- 
000  tons  of  Deep  Water  Golden  Gate 
Cargo  wiU  be  credited  as  a  unit  to 
San  Francisco  Bay  and  give  addi- 
tional official  recognition  that  San 
Francisco  is  second  American  port 
in  both  tonnage  and  value  of  foreign 
and  domestic  commerce. 

There  are  two  outstanding  fea- 
tures of  the  San  Francisco  trade, 
Grady  points  out,  which  make  it  very 
desirable  from  a  trader's  point  of 
view.    In  the  first  place,  the  trade  is 


balanced,  and,  in  the  second,  it  is 
diversified.  San  Francisco  imports 
and  exports  are  approximately  equal. 
This  balanced  trade  gives  a  two-way 
cargo  and  is  very  desirable  for  the 
shipping  interests. 

Seattle,  for  example,  imports  more 
than  twice  as  much  as  it  exports, 
while  Los  Angeles,  on  the  other 
hand,  exports  twice  its  imports,  and 
Portland  exports  six  times  its  im- 
ports. A  diversified  trade  is  also 
highly  desirable.  Just  as  the  one 
crop  farmer  suffers  severely  from  an 
off  season  or  a  market  slump,  so  a 
one  or  two  commodity  port  suffers 
keenly  from  cut  down  in  production 
or  demand  for  the  commodity  it 
handles.  The  largest  item  of  San 
Francisco's  foreign  trade  is  raw  silk, 
imports  of  which  amount  to  over 
15%  of  the  port  total.  The  remain- 
der of  the  business  is  very  diversified 
and  includes  literally  more  than  a 
thousand  kinds  of  goods  according 
to  the  government  reports  based  on 
customs  classifications.  There  are 
but  few  articles  listed  in  official  re- 
ports in  which  San  Francisco  does 
not  show  a  good  proportionate  trade. 
Seattle,  on  the  other  hand,  depends 
on  one  commodity  alone,  raw  silk, 
for  more  than  three-quarters  of  the 
imports;  while  Portland  does  more 
than  two-thirds  of  its  total  business 


in  wheat  and  lumber  exports  with 
apple  shipments  making  up  a  good 
part  of  all  other  business.  Ship- 
ments of  petroleum  from  Los  An- 
geles amount  to  80%  of  the  entii-e 
tonnage  of  that  port,  the  remainder 
being  chiefly  lumber  receipts.

Hayvaii's  Sugar  Q^op 

Expected  to  Equal 

That  of  igz^ 

Hawaii's  sugar  plantations  will 
produce  approximately  739,000  tons 
of  raw  sugar  during  the  192G  .season 
according  to  predictions  made  by  the 
nine  sugar  agencies  in  Honolulu.  All 
of  the  prcfUctions  are  classed  as 
"conservative." 

The  figures  closeh'  follow  the  esti- 
mate made  by  the  pineapple  canners 
a  few  we'eks  ago  in  which  it  was  an- 
nounced that  the  territory's  "second 
industry"  would  equal  the  1925 
crop.  The  pineapple  interests  an- 
nounced that  the  pack  would  have 
an  estimated  valuation  of  between 
834,000,000  and  835,000,000  involv- 
ing the  packing  of  nearly  9,000,000 
cases.  Thus,  sugar  and  pineapples  in 
Hawaii  produce  an  annual  crop 
valued  at  over  8100,000,000. 

Start  of  canning  the  year's  crop 
of  pineapple  causes  much  interest  in 
Honolulu,  and  when  the  plant  of  the- 
Hawaiian  Pineapple  Co.  recentlj' 
commenced  operations  at  full  blast, 
hundreds  of  spectators  were  on  hand 
to  witness  it.

play here,  expect  a  particularly  repre- 
sentative showing  in  all  the  eighty-

increasing  number  of  private  gar- 
dens present  their  best  flowers  each 
year  and  according  to  H.  T.  Hennig, 
secretary  of  the  organization,  the 
number  of  entries  already  in  shows 
a  larger  interest  than  ever  before. 


NORTHWESTERN  PACtFlf 


Restore  Queen's  Home 

.John  H.  Wilson,  mayor  of  Hono- 
lulu, will  direct  the  repairing  opera- 
tions on  the  old  Queen  Emma  Home, 
a  grass-thatched  remnant  of  regal 
days  in  Hawaii,  situated  up  the 
\uuanu  valley.  Six  hundred  bags  of 
pUi  grass  will  be  used  in  the  work. 


The  Queen  Emma  Home  is  75 
years  old,  being  completed  at  the 
time  of  King  Kamehameha  V.  It 
was  formerly  located  at  VVaikiki,  but 
was  moved  to  Nuuanu  at  the  request 
of  the  queen. 

Absent-Minded? 

"Where's  the  car,  dad?"  asked  the 
son  of  an  absent-minded  professor. 

"Why,  dear  me,"  he  said,  "I  really 
don't  know.  Did  I  take  it  out?" 

"You  certainly  did.  You  drove  it 
downtown." 

"That's  ven,'  remarkable,"  re- 
plied the  profes.sor.  "I  remember

around  to  thank  the  gentleman  who

where  he  had  gone." — The  Outlook.

Portland  Wins  Next 

Year's  Advertising 

Convention 

t  continued  from  page  22 ) 

Seattle,  Portland,  Tacoma,  Spokane, 
Walla  Walla,  Portland,  Fresno, 
Stockton,  Saeramento,  Los  Angeles, 
San  Diego  and  points  north,  south 
and  east,  to  say  nothing  of  the  bay 
cities.  There  was  the  convention 
organ,  the  Adlrociiy,  full  of  fun, 
which  refused  to  take  anything  or 
anybody  seriously.  But  to  a  non- 
member  the  interesting,  the  absorb- 
ing thing  about  the  convention  was 
its  jousting  for  the  truth  and  its  pro- 
nouncement for  better  citizenship. 
If  advertising  can  interest  the  public 
in  pink  pills  for  pale  people,  can  make 
the  population  east  of  the  Rockies 
hurt  for  a  home  in  California  and 
bring  business  and  industry  here,  it 
can  be  a  tremendous  influence  for 
good  citizenship.  And  if  the  twenty- 
third  annual  convention  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Advertising  Clubs  can  say 
next  November,  "A  lot  of  voters 
cast  their  ballots  in  this  election  be- 
cause our  delegates  aroused  a  public 
consciousness  to  the  duties  of  citi- 
zenship," then  the  gathering  in  this 
city  will  have  been  distinctly  worth 
while  to  more  than  the  advertising 
experts  who  attended. 

Next  year's  convention  will  be 
held  in  Portland,  the  city  of  Marshall 
N.  Dana,  associate  editor  of  the 
Oregon  Journal,  the  new  president  of 
the  association. 

The  San  Francisco  Advertising 
Club  played  the  host  to  the  various 
clubs  attending  the  convention — ' 
and  in  a  mamier  that,  as  the  thespi- 
ans  have  it,  "stopped  the  show." 


A  FEW  LAUGHS 

Minister:  "Can  you  tell  me  what 
a  gentleman  is,  little  boy?" 

Little  Boy:  "Yes  sir;  he's  a  grown- 
up boy  that  used  to  mind  his 
mother." — The  Outlook. 


An  unusually  ragged  tramp 
knocked  at  the  door  of  a  home  and 
asked  the  mistress  for  alms. 

"Aren't  you  ashamed?"  she  in- 
quired. "You  are  so  ragged  and  dirty 
that  I  am  ashamed  of  you  myself." 

"Yes,"  reflected  the  tramp,  "it  is 
a  reflection  on  the  generosity  of  the 
community." — The  Outlook. 

"Harold,  I  am  really  surprised  at 
you  putting  out  your  tongue  at 
people!" 

"Oh,  that  was  all  right,  mother; 
it  was  only  the  doctor  going  past." — 
The  Outlook. 


DrivurselS 

Mr.  Business  Man 

Cuy  Automobile  Miles  as  You  Need  Them. 
A  Hew  Way  to  Rent  a  Fine  Car. 

When  you  want  a  car  quickly  for  any  business 
or  social  use  come  to  one  of  our  convenient 
stations — rent  a  handsome  dark  blue  sedan, 
coupe  or  touring  car  and  Drivurself.  No  red 
tape.  Just  get  in  and  go — park  the  car  where 
and  as  long  as  you  wish — come  back  when 
you  please — then  pay  a  small  charge  for  the 
miles  you  drive. 

Drivurself  is  cheaper  than  owning  a  car  of  your  own. 
No  initial  investment  or  repair  bills.  No  gas  and  oil 
to  buy.  No  insurance  to  pay.  You  pay  a  flat  rate  per 
mile     We  stand  all  insurance  and  furnish  all  gas  and  oil. 

Scores  of  firms  are  using  Drivurself  in  routing  sales- 
men over  territory.  More  calls  and  more  sales  for  each 
day — expense  accounts  simplified  — hotel  bills  cut — 
often  eliminated — and  the  cost  per  call  dropped  50 
to  75  per  cent. 

Drive  one  of  these  cars  to  another  city.  Take  four 
guests  with  you  if  you  like.  Then  leave  the  car.  We 
will  return  it. 

Foi  sorial  duties — for  the  beaches — for  the  theatre,  Drivur- 
self is  invaluable 

More  than  800  of  these  identical  cars  are  in  daily  use  in 
Chicago  alone. 

Take  a  car  from  a  Yellow  Drivurself  Station  today  or 
night— for  business  or  for  pleasure. 

We  will  give  you  an  identification  card  good  at  any  of 
stations.

America's  Imports 

Show  Big  Gain; 

Exports  Drop 

M1:HK'AN  imports  in- 
creased 17  per  cent  and 
exports  declined  11.5  per 
cent  for  the  first  iiuarter 
of  1926  as  compareil  with 
as  shown  in  a  (|uarterly 
analysis  of  foreifjn  tiadc  contained  in 
a  Imlli'tin,  "Oin-  World  Trade,"  just 
issued  by  the  Foreign  Commerce 
Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  the  United  States.  The 
report  shows  that  imports  for  quarter 
totaled  $1,248,367,000,  an  increase 
of  $183,436,000,  while  exports 
amounted  to  $1,125,000,000,  a  de- 
cline of  $146,000,000. 

The  report  says  that  "the  sensa- 
tional advance  in  the  price  of  crude 
rubber,  rising  from  an  average  im- 
port price  of  33  cents  per  pound  a 
year  earlier  to  nearly  77  cents  per 
pound,  was  the  chief  factor  in  put- 
ting rubber  in  the  position  of  our 
leading  import.  The  total  value  of 
imported  crude  rubber  was  $201,- 
851,000,  three  times  its  value  a  year 
ago. 

"In  order  to  keep  pace  with  the 


increasing  output  of  automobile 
tires,"  the  report  says,  "the  quantity 
of  rubber  imported  for  this  period 
was  greater  by  59,932  pounds  in 
1926  than  in  the  same  period  of 
1925,  in  spite  of  the  enormous  rise  in 
the  price  per  pound — a  quantity 
gain  of  30  per  cent.  The  American 
rubber  industry  uses  more  than 
three-quarters  of  the  world's  pro- 
duction of  crude  rubber. 

With  regard  to  the  decline  in  ex- 
ports, the  report  points  out  that 
"restricted  luiropean  buying  was 
largely  responsible  for  this  decline. 
Exports  to  Europe  were  28  per  cent 
less  than  a  year  ago,  while  exports 
to  every  other  section  of  the  world 
increased  from  6.1  to  25.9  per  cent. 
Depression  in  Europe  reduced  her 
purchases  of  American  cotton  and 
foodstuffs,  and  our  smaller  grain 
crops  also  tended  to  limit  our  exports. 

Europe,  the  report  goes  on  to  say, 
bought  only  48  per  cent  of  our  ex- 
ports for  the  first  quarter  as  com- 
pared with  nearly  59  per  cent  a  year 
ago.  Exports  to  countries  in  North 
America  rose  from  20  per  cent  of  the 
quarterly  total  in  1925  to  24  per  cent 
in  1926.  Asia  bought  10  per  cent  of 
the  total  in  1925  as  compared  with 
12  per  cent  in  1926;  South  America 
from  7  per  cent  in  1925  to  10  per 
cent  in  1926.  Each  of  remaining 
grand  divisions  shows  gains.

The  brightest  spot  in  our  first 
quarter's  exports  was  the  15  per 
cent  increase  in  exports  of  finished 
manufactures,  particularly  automo- 
biles, machinery,  iron  and  steel  and 
gasoline. 

Export  groups  increa.sing  in  value 
were  machinerj'  and  vehicles,  in- 
edible vegetable  pioducts,  such  as 
tobacco  and  automobile  tires,  non- 
metallic  minerals,  particularly  re- 
fined petroleum,  wood  and  paper, 
chemicals,  and  the  miscellaneous. 
Declines  in  value  were  sustained  by 
textile,  foodstuffs,  metals,  and  in- 
edible animal  products,  such  as 
hides,  leather  and  furs. 

Six  of  our  ten  principal  exports — 
automobiles,  gasoline,  leaf  tobacco, 
agricultural  machinery,  kerosene, 
and  boards,  planks  and  scantlings — 
were  higher  in  both  value  and  volume 
than  a  year  ago;  but  the  remaining 
four — raw  cotton,  lard,  refined  cop- 
per and  lubricating  oil — sustained 
declines  that  more  than  offset  the 
gains. 


Advertising  a  City 
Through  Songs 

One  way  of  advertising  San  Fran- 
cisco is  to  sing  its  praises  all  over  the 
world. 

Villa  Mor^t,  Inc.,  Music  Pub- 
lishers, composed  of  local  men,  has 
its  headquarters  in  San  Francisco. 
Neil  Moret,  its  president,  is  one  of 
the  foremost  composers  in  America, 
having  written  "Hiawatha,"  "Silver 
Heels,"  "Poppies,"  "After  Vespers," 
"You  Tell  Me  Your  Dreams," 
"Mickey,"  "Moonlight  and  Roses." 
Ben  Black,  vice  president,  is  also  a 
leading  composer.  Paul  Ash  is  one  of 
the  best  known  directors  in  the 
world.  He  makes  records  for  Colum- 
bia. 

Alfred  Hertz,  head  of  the  Classical 
Department,  is  also  one  of  the 
world's  foremost  directors.  He  is 
director  of  the  San  Francisco  Sym- 
phony Orchestra. 

These  men,  realizing  that  San 
Francisco  is  one  of  the  greatest 
musical  centers  in  the  country,  chose 
it  as  headquarters  for  Villa  Mor^t, 
Inc.  They  have  established  branch 
offices  and  representatives  in  New 
York,  Chicago,  Cincinnati,  Detroit, 
Boston,  Minneapolis,  Kansas  City, 
Philadelphia,  St.  Louis,  Denver, 
Los  Angeles,  and  foreign  representa- 
tives in  Europe,  Australia  and 
Canada.  Their  reason  for  choosing 
San  Francisco  as  its  home  office  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  most  of  the  big 
hits  of  the  world  are  composed  in 
the  West.

San  Francisco  Bay 

Travel  Declared 

Safe  by  Expert 


\N  FRANCISCO  BAY 
traffic  is  safe  and  holds 
no  menace  to  commuter 
or  traveler,  according  to 
an  official  report  filed 
with  President  W.  A.  Sherman  of  the 
Board  of  State  Harbor  Commission- 
ers by  Captain  C.  W.  Saunders, 
chairman  of  the  fog  menace  com- 
mittee appointed  by  the  harbor 
chief  at  a  general  meeting  called  in 
the  Ferry  Building  on  February  26. 
The  high  lights  of  the  report  state : 
Records  for  the  period  between 
1910  and  192.5  reveal  that  approxi- 
mately 750,000,000  persons  were 
carried  across  the  bay  on  the  ferry 
steamers  and  of  these  only  two  lost 
their  lives  in  fog  crashes. 

Compared  with  railway,  automo- 
bile and  other  methods  of  transpor- 
tation, bay  travel  is  the  safest  in  the 
world  and  the  committee  is  of  the 
opinion  that  there  is  no  necessity  to 
establish  further  bay  traffic  control. 

Adequate  Fog  Signals 

Adequate  fog  signals  have  been 
maintained  for  years  by  the  Gov- 
ernment to  protect  navigation  in 
and  out  of  the  harbor  and  the 
Harbor  Board  has  in  addition  to 
former  existing  signals,  established 
additional  safeguards  to  protect 
lives  and  property,  the  committee 
report  stated. 

The  committee  also  stated  that  it 
believed  the  public  may  safely  feel 
that  the  very  efficient  supervision  of 
the  local  steamboat  inspection  serv- 
ice, and  the  resultant  care  exercised 
by  the  masters  of  ferry  boats  and 
other  vessels  in  this  district,,  have 
reduced  the  danger  of  any  catas- 
trophe occurring  on  San  Francisco 
Bay  due  to  fog  conditions. 

"The  matter  of  bay  traffic  control 
was  suggested  by  the  Alameda 
County  Commuters'  Club  following 
a  succession  of  fogs  last  winter," 
Sherman  said. 

"The  club  requested  that  I  call  all 
of  the  representative  men  who  have 
to  do  with  bay  traffic  together  for  a 
conference.  This  was  done  and  it  was 
the  sense  of  the  meeting  that  a 
special  committee  be  named  to  make 
a  thorough  survey. 

"The  committee  communicated 
with  scores  of  American  and  foreign 


port  officials  in  addition  to  govern- 
ments and  learned  that  beyond  the 
usual  official  rules  and  regulations, 
there  existed  no  regular  plan  for 
traffic  control. 

"It  is  gratifying  to  have  the  com- 
mittee officially  report  that  bay 
travel  is  safe  by  nearly  100  per  cent. 
This  should  banish  any  fear  that 
may  be  entertained  by  persons  pat- 
ronizing the  bay  ferries. 

"The  Harbor  Board  has  also  done 
what  it  could  to  safeguard  lives 
during  foggy  weather  by  installing 
lights,   gates  and  other  means  for 


warning  persons  driving  or  walking 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  waterfront. 

"As  a  result  of  the  committee  re- 
port, the  reputation  of  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay  as  a  place  of  safe  waters 
can  well  be  heralded  to  the  world, 
because  it  is  doubtful  if  as  enviable 
a  reputation  has  been  achieved  by 
any  other  transportation  system, 
proportionate  to  the  number  of 
persons  cared  for.  The  total  of  750,- 
000,000  passengers  carried  by  the 
bay  ferries  in  fifteen  years  is  equal 
to  seven  times  the  population  of  the 
United  States." 


XRACK  athletes  realize  the  necessity  of  "start  — 
stride  — finish"  — a H  three  —  in  order  to  win.  They 
strive  to  develop  perfection  in  each.  The  same  quali- 
ties are  necessary  to  good  gasoline.  "More  miles  to 
the  gallon"  can  result  only  from  a  combination  of 
these  three- in  balanced  f>roportion—[l]  satisfac- 
tory starting,  at  all  times,  [2}  full  stride  of  power,  [3] 
mileage — full  measure  of  each  without  impairment 
of  any.  Associated  Gasoline  has  the  winning  "form," 
due  to  its  distinctive  chain  or  series  of  boiling  points.

America  n  -Ha)vaiian 
Improves  Service 

On  Augu.^t  26  la.st  ypar  the  Amrri- 
caii-Ilawaiian  Steamship  Company 
inauguratctl  a  schedule  which  pro- 
vided for  a  sailing  every  five  days 
inustead  of  every  seven  days,  being 
an  increase  in  frequency  of  sailings 
equivalent  to  40  per  cent.  Effective 
during  August,  1926,  the  company 
lias  arranged  to  reduce  the  time  con- 
sumed in  a  round  voyage  from 
eighty-five  to  eighty-three  days,  also 
to  add  two  vessels  to  its  Pacific 
Coast-North  Atlantic  fleet,  thereby 
pro\'iding  an  increased  frequency  of 
60  per  cent  over  a  sailing  every  seven 
days,  and  an  increase  of  14  per  cent 
over  the  present  schedule  of  a  sailing 
every  five  days. 

This  atlditional  service  is  provided 
because  of  many  requests  from 
shippers  for  substantial  space  reser- 
vations during  the  normal  heavy 
movement  (July  to  January)  of 
sea.sonal  commodities,  and  will  con- 
tinue in  effect  for  such  time  as 
offerings  maj'  warrant. 

La.st  fall  it  was  necessary  for  the 
company  to  provide  five  extra  sail- 
ings to  accommodate  the  heavy 
offerings  of  general  cargo  from  this 
port.  The  new  schedule  provides 
additional  space  equivalent  to  the 
capacity  of  one  extra  sailing  per 
month. 


Local  Firm  to  Open 
Eastern  Stores 

The  further  expansion  eastward  of 
an  aggres.sive  Pacific  Coast  organi- 
zation was  announced  yesterday  b\- 
the  Moss  Glove  and  Hosiery  Stores. 
Inc.,  of  San  FrancLsco,  which  will 
open  three  stores  in  Clevelantl 
within  the  next  two  months.  This 
Vi(>eame  known  with  the  arrival  in 
San  Francisco  of  Artemus  Mesler, 
president,  from  an  extensive  busi- 
ness trip  through  Eastern  cities. 

The  Cleveland  store  will  l.)e 
located  on  one  of  the  most  important 
business  corners  of  the  city.  It  will 
be  opened  early  in  September,  and 
within  two  weeks  will  be  followed  by 
the  opening  of  two  other  stores  in 
West  Cleveland. 

A  few  weeks  ago  the  company 
opened  five  large  stores  in  Chicago, 
anil  Mesler  said  that  five  more  stores 
will  be  operating  in  the  Windy  City 
this  fall. 

While  in  the  East,  Mesler  said,  he 
set  in  motion  negotiations  for  stores 
in  Cincinnati,  Toledo,  Detroit  and 
St.   Louis.   A  location  has  alread3' 


been  selected  in  Pittsburgh,  the  an- 
nouncement of  which  will  probably 
be  made  within  the  next  two  or  three 
weeks. 

Wilham  Mesler,  vice  president, 
left  on  July  7  for  France  and  Ger- 
many to  inspect  the  company's  two 
factories. 


Financial  Counsel  in

John  C.  Feys  and  Associates,  Inc.,

announced  that  it  has  established 
quarters  in  the  Exchange  Block,  369

Overcharge  Claims 

Against  Lines 

F.  W.  Gomph,  agent  of  the  Pacific 
Freight  Tariff  Bureau,  has  issued  a 
circular  to  the  effect  that  from  and 
after  January  1,  1927,  the  rail  lines 
serving  California  will  not  consider 
overcharge  claims  on  intrastate 
traffic  unless  fUed  with  the  carrier 
within  three  years  from  the  date  of 
delivery  or  tender  of  dehvery  of  a 
shipment  and  not  after,  provided 
that  if  claim  for  the  overcharge  has 
been  presented  in  writing  to  the 
carrier  witliin  the  three-year  period 
of  limitation,  claimant  shall  have 
six  months  from  the  time  notice  in 
writing  is  given  by  the  carrier  to  the 
claimant  of  its  disallowance  of  the 
claim  or  any  part  or  parts  thereof 
specified  in  the  notice,  within  which

Why  the  United  States 
Is  Supreme 

THE  visiting  Crown  Pruice  of 
Sweden,  at  a  luncheon  given  in 
his  honor  in  New  York,  heard 
Julius  H.  Barnes,  former  president  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the 
United  States,  attribute  America's 
greatness  to  thi-ee  underlying  phil- 
osophies, all  distinctly  of  this  coun- 
try.  Summed  up  they  are: 

"A  social  philosophy  that  visits 
on  no  man  the  misfortune  of  birth 
or  position,  but  holds  open  the  door 
for  social  advance,  achievetl  by 
character,  abUity  and  effort.  Amer- 
ica, having  no  hereditary  stratifica- 
tion, was  forced  to  establish  its  own 
aristocracy,  based  on  character  and 
achievement,  and  it  is  a  great  stimu- 
lus for  individual  effort. 

"An  industrial  philosophy,  which 
places  a  high  value  upon  habits  of 
industry,  but  which  measures  the 
effectiveness  of  effort  by  its  accom- 
phshment.  This  means  that  in  the 
necessary  work  of  the  world,  Amer- 
ica beheves  in  replacing  mere  hmnan 
drudgery  by  the  control  of  Nature's 
forces  tiii'ough  the  device  of  inven- 
tive genius. 

"And  then  in  the  century  and  a 
half  of  national  e.xistence,  we  are 
working  out  a  poUtical  philosophy, 
somewhat  haltingly,  perhaps,  with 
errors  that  requii'e  steps  to  be  re- 
traced. This  political  philosophy  is 
that  government  e.xists  prmiarily  to 
preserve  fair  play  between  its  citi- 
zens and  that  every  individual  may 
achieve  his  place  by  character  and 
ability  and  government  will  hold 
him  secure  in  the  rewards  of  his  in- 
dividual effort."

r  is  but  a  few  years  since 
tho  interest  of  the  aver- 
age man  on  the  street  in 
the  tales  told  by  Kuro- 
pcaii  travelers  was  limit- 
id  lo  llir  iliiiifrs  that  appealed  to  the 
traveler  a.s  quaint  or  unusual.  To- 
day, however,  the  interest  of  the 
average  American  has  been  sharp- 
ened by  an  active  appreciation  of 
the  importance  of  Europe  to  Amer- 
ica from  the  standpoint  of  business 
and  the  returning  traveler  finds  him- 
self asked  more  questions  about 
economic  conilitions  and  the  luiro- 
pean  business  situation  than  on  such 
topics  as  the  native  costumes  and 
customs  of  the  peasant  classes. 

A  well-known  San  Francisco  busi-

from  a  three  months'  trip  in  lOng-

:  SLXTH  STREET 


SAN  FRANCISCO 


Ijoom  in  the  increasing  export  of 
American  cars  and  in  the  inspiration 
that  American  car  designers  are  re- 
ported !us  receiving  from  the  work  of 
European  automobile  builders. 

R.  F.  Thomp.son,  general  manager 
of  the  Howard  Automobile  Com- 
pany, is  back  as  his  desk  after  an 
interesting  and  informative  trip.  He 
has  many  things  to  say  regarding  his 
ob-servations  in  Europe  and  on  the 
European  situation  as  it  bears  on 
the  automobile  business. 

Mr.  Thompson  was  not  much  im- 
pressed by  the  European  type  of 
automobile  as  a  factor  in  the  Ameri- 
can car  market.  "They  build  .some 
very  fine  cars  abroad,"  .said  he,  "and 
I  am  all  admiration  for  the  quality 
of  engineering  and  the  workmanship 
that  goes  into  some  of  the  best  of 
these.  They  are  produced  at  pro- 
hibitive prices,  however,  and  the 
best  of  the  European  cars  can  never 
be  a  factoi  in  the  American  market. 
The  cheaper  cars  are  built  to  meet 
European  ideas  of  economy  and  for 
European  driving  conditions.  They 
are  of  low  horse-power,  frequently  a 
half  or  a  third  of  the  rated  horse- 
power of  the  Ford.  And  I  do  not 
think  that  they  will  measure  up  to 
the  standard  of  comfort  and  con- 
venience that  we  have  learned  to 
demand  from  American  cars. ' ' 

Mr.  Thompson  was  impressed  by 
the  apparent  prosperity  of  such 
countries  as  Belgium  and  Holland, 
but  the  general  .'strike  in  England 
during  his  visit  there  showed  that 
conditions  were  far  from  being  what 
they  were  before  the  war  in  that 
country.  France  left  the  impression 
of  being  full  of  life  and  go,  but  the 
condition  of  the  workers,  especially 
the  farm  workers,  and  the  falling 
franc  make  it  clear  that  even  the 
saving  and  industrious  French  have 
not  yet  solved  the  problems  left  by 
the  war. 

"One  of  the  things  that  struck  me 
mo.st  forcibl.v,"  said  Thompson, 
"was  the  fact  that  there  seemed  to 
be  no  young  men  on  the  farms.  I  saw 
women  and  children  working  the 
fields,  sometimes  actually  taking  the 
places  of  draft  animals.  When  I  asked 
the  explanation  I  was  told  that  they 
were  too  poor  to  afford  animals  and 
that  the  women  and  children  must 
do  the  work  because  the  young  men 
were  in  the  array.  It  seems  inevitable 
that  the  withdrawal  of  such  large 
numbers  of  men  for  army  service 
must  produce  most  serious  conse- 
quences. Not  only  is  their  productive 
labor  lost  but  they  become  an  ex- 
pense to  the  state,  adding  to  the  al- 
ready intolerable  burden  of  taxa- 
tion."

They  own  patents  for  a  "Vault 
Ventilator"  which  they  are  now 
manufacturing  here  in  San  Francisco 
and  which  can  be  installed  in  vaults 
already  built  as  well  as  in  new 
vaults.  It  was  designed  primarily  to 
afford  a  simple  means  of  exposing 
an  aperture  through  the  vault  wall 
of  sufficient  size  to  prevent  suffoca- 
tion in  case  of  accidental  or  enforced 
imprisonment  within  the  vault  of 
one  or  more  of  the  employees  of  the 
office.  The  ventilator  is  pronded 
with  an  electric  fan  mounted  in  a 
metal  funnel  fitting  exactly  the  in- 
side diameter  of  the  tube.  There  is  a 
clear  o]X"niiig  through  the  tube  of 
sufficient  size  to  permit  one  to  signal 
from  the  inside  of  the  vault  in  case 
of  eniergencv.

THE  HUMBOLDT  BANK 

ADDS  NEW  SERVICE 

FOR  PATRONS 

One  of  the  most  interesting  and 
up-to-date  services  to  bank  deposi- 
tors in  San  Francisco  is  announced 
by  the  Humboldt  Bank  in  the  instal- 
lation of  a  number  of  Bank  Posting 
Machines. 

The  last  word  in  banking  efficiency, 
these  machines,  now  in  operation  at 
all    of   the  savings  windows  of  the 


Bank,  perform  four  important  func- 
tions.  They  are: 

1.  Enter  the  amount  of  deposit  in 
passbook  in  clear,  legible  print- 
ed figures. 

2.  Compute  the  amount  of  balance 
and  print  it  in  passbook  at  one 
operation. 

3.  Print  bank's  record  of  deposit 
at  the  same  time  as  the  depos- 
itor's, so  that  records  always 
correspond. 


4.  Work  faster  than  the  mind  in 
addition  and  subtraction,  en- 
abling the  bank  to  serve  more 
quickly  than  ever  before. 

The  Bank  Posting  Machine  is 
operated  at  the  teller's  window 
where  deposits  are  made.  It  fur- 
nishes better  and  more  complete 
records,  both  for  the  bank  and  for 
depositors'  and  surrounds  accounts 
with  every  protection  against  error 
or  misunderstanding.

SUMMARY  0/ WORLD  MARKET  CONDITIONS 

'^ased  upon  Cables  and  Other 'Reports  received  in  the  Department  of  Qommerce 


CANADA 

Wholesale  and  retail  trade  conditions 
show  pradnal  improvement  in  Eastern 
Canada  and  are  generally  satisfactory  in 
the  Western  provinces.  Manufacturers  of 
agricultural  implements  and  automobiles 
rejiort  the  continuance  of  active  opera- 
tions. The  sale  of  rayon  uoods  and  broad- 
cloths has  increased  recently. 
GREAT  BRITAIN 

Till'  Hrilish  coal  sloppane  is  practically 
unch:uiKi'<l,  an<l  there  has  been  no  general 
return  to  work.  The  number  of  unem- 
ployed on  July  5,  exclusive  of  striking  coal 
niiiiers,  showing  a  slight  increase  over  the 
previous  week.  Foreign  trade  in  the 
Ignited  Kingdom  for  .Time  was  marked  by 
an  exi)ansion  of  imports  as  compared  with 
May  and  a  further  ilccline  in  e\|)ort  ship- 
ments. 

THE  NETHERLANDS 

A  better  tone  in  the  general  Dutch 
situation  is  noted,  due  to  the  improve- 
ment in  trade,  finance  and  agriculture. 
The  money  market  was  active  and  trans- 
actions on  the  stock  exchange  lively. 
I'lotaticui  of  foreign  and  domestic  loans 
was  extensive,  with  over-subscrii)tions 
common.

FRANCE 

Economic  and  commercial  interests  in 
France  are  marking  time  pending  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  ilclinite  policy  for  the 
c<)untr\'.  <  lovcrnrnciit  revenues  for  June 
totaled  J.  tlili.lMlil.llllo  francs,  showing  an 
increase  of  a|)pr<iximately  30  ()er  cent  as 
compared  with  .June,  192.5;  indirect  taxes 
as  usual  const  il  ute  I  he  bulk  of  the  receipts. 
Total  rc\'euues  for  the  six  months  period 
.Ianuar>'  to  .liine.  inclusive,  amounted  to 
IS.THI.Odd.dlHI  francs,  showing  approxi- 
mately the  same  percentage  of  increase 
over  192")  as  the  .June  figures.  French 
foreign  trade  in  June  had  an  import  bal- 
ance of  ,iO9.O0O.O(XI  francs,  after  a  tem- 
porary reversion  to  a  favorable  balance  of 
70.000.00n  francs  in  .May.  Total  imports 
during  the  (irat  si\  in.intli.s  of  the  year 
were  valued  at  29.  II  l.oiid.oiiofrancs,  while 
exports  totaled  2(j,o7.i.000,(l()0  francs.  The 
Bank  of  France  statement  for  July  15 
shows  an  increase  to  new  high  records  for 
advances  to  the  State  (3,S,000,000.000 
francs)  and  note  circidation  (54,918,000,- 
000). 

GERMANY 

A  slight  increase  in  the  cost  of  living 
index  during  the  first  half  of  July,  to- 
gether with  imrest  among  the  1.700,000 
unemployed,  has  caused  the  Government 
to  give  serious  consideration  to  the  im- 
emplo\TTient  problem.  Advances  to  the 
German  railway  and  postal  systems  and 
the  acceleration  of  work  on  a  number  of 
canals  are  contemplated  as  measures  to 
reduce  unemployment.  The  weakness  of 
the  French  franc  has  reacted  on  the  Ger- 
man stock  exchange,  causing  a  certain 
degree  of  weakness  owing  to  apprehension 
concerning  the  future  of  the  French 
market  for  German  goods  and  the  com- 
petition of  French  products  on  the  local 
market.   The   money   market-  continues 


Seaso 


easy.  The  withdrawal  .if  the  fnited  Steel 
Company  from  mai'hinery  prodution  has 
been  followed  by  the  formation  of  a  new 
machinery  tnist,  the  organization  of 
which  will  be  comiileted  in  the  near 
future. 

AUSTRIA 

The  downward  trend  of  unemployment 
has  greatly  slackeneil.  and  reductions  at 
the  present  time  are  due  oidy  to  the 
seasonal  demand  for  agricultural  laborers. 
Preliminary  accounts  of  the  Federal 
Government  for  .\pril  show  more  favor- 
able results  than  were  anticipated,  with 
an  actual  surplus  of  approxiimitelv  14,- 
000,000  shillings  as  compareil  with  an 
estimate  of  only  3,(H)(I.II(K)  shillings.  The 
movement  of  goods  f<ir  both  the  export 
and  the  domestic  market  has  improved, 
though  some  lines  are  carrying  more  than 
normal  stocks.  Recent  severe  rainfalls 
have  resulted  in  a  certain  amount  of  crop 
damage. 

ITALY 

The  continueil  weakness  of  the  lira  has 
stimulated  discussion  of  a  legal  stabiliza- 
tion of  exchange  rates,  and  general  opin- 
ion is  said  to  Ije  becoming  more  favorable 
to  this  method  of  checking  lira  Huctua- 
tions.  Further  increases  in  wholesale  price 
indexes  are  occurring  as  a  result  of  con- 
tinued exchange  depreciation.  Italian  im- 
ports during  Jime  amounted  to  2,756,000,- 
000  lire  and  exports  to  1.030,000,000  lire, 
with  an  approximately  e<iual  decline  in 
both  branches  of  the  trade  as  compared 
with  .Jime,  1925 

SWEDEN 

ncsN  is  influencing  Swedish 
cial  and  industrial  life  but  general 
conditions  imlicatc  an  up\\  :ird  s\\  ing.  The 
marked  increase  in  bank  loans  is  indica- 
tive of  greater  credit  demantls,  the  latter 
being  due  largely  to  increased  rerpiire- 
ments  for  financing  purchases  of  indus- 
trial raw  materials. 

JAPAN 

Rusiness  conditions  in  .lapan  are  gener- 
ally cjuiet  although  increased  activity  is 
reported  in  certain  lines.  The  electrical 
power  efiuipment  market  continues  to  be 
affected  by  the  over-expansion  which  has 
taken  place  during  the  past  two  years. 
The  steel  products  market  is  quiet.  Gen- 
eral industrial  and  engineering  ec|uipment 
is  in  fair  demand,  with  the  usual  keenly 
competitive  conditions  jirevailing.  .\n.\i- 
ety  in  regard  to  this  year's  rice  crop  has 
been  dispelled  by  plentiftd  rains  during 
the  past  few  weeks.  The  raw  silk  market 
is  active  with  prices  recovering  from  the 
slump  which  occurred  during  the  second 
week  of  July.  The  cotton  yarn  industry 
established  a  new  production  record  in 
June.  Mid-year  financial  settlements  were 
completed  satisfactorily.  The  money  mar- 
ket is  quiet. 

PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS 

Philippine  business  during  June  was 
seasonally  slow  but  somewhat  better  than 
in  June  last  year.  Heavy  rains  early  in  the 
month  impeded  transportation.  Most 
import  lines  weakened  slightly  and  con- 
tinued slack  the  early  part  of  July.  The 
textile  market  weakened  again  the  latter 
part  of  June.  In  the  export  markets,  copra 
trade,  though  sl(n\-,  was  good.  .\bn<'a  trade 
continue, 1  verv  dull  in  both  Tiiited  States 
and  I'nited  Kingdom  grades.  The  sugar 
market  was  quiet  until  the  last  week  and 
tobacco  trade  was  generally  dull. 


AUSTRALIA 

July  has  l>een  marked  in  the  larger 
centers  of  Australia  by  general  winter 
clearance  sales  and  considerable  retail 
activity  has  resulted.  Wholesale  business, 
however,  is  somewhat  inactive  as  the  new 
stock  buying  season  hiis  not  yet  com- 
menced. Ciovemment  finances  are  in  good 
position.  The  192.5-26  fiscal  year  ended 
with  a  surplus  of  receipts  over  expendi- 
tures. The  new  season's  outlook  for  wool 
is  said  to  be  good.  The  wheat  market  is 
more  firm. 

MEXICO 

There  is  a  general  dullness  in  trade  in 
Mexico  due  to  the  rainy  season.  .Automo- 
bile sales  are  declining  slightly.  The 
Treasury  Department  is  ex-pected  in 
Mexico  to  svisijend  the  decree  of  Jidy  10 
providing  penalties  for  failure  to  require 
pagares  or  notes  in  cases  of  installment 
sales.  

WEEKLY  BUSINESS  CONDITIONS 

The  dollar  volume  of  trade  continues  to 
show  gains  over  a  year  ago,  as  seen  from 
check  payments  covering  the  third  week 
of  July,  according  tf)  the  weekly  state- 
ment of  the  Department   of  Commerce. 

The   vol. f  new   buihling  contracts 

awarded  during  this  same  period  was 
larger  than  in  either  the  previous  week 
this  year  or  the  same  week  of  1925.  Whole- 
sale prices  averaged  lower  than  in  either 
the  previous  week  or  a  year  ago,  while 
interest  rates  on  time  money  continued 
to  average  higher. 

Loans  and  disco. uits  of  Federal  reserve 
member  banks  .le.  lined  from  the  previous 
week  but  were  still  well  ab.ive  a  year  ago. 
Prices  of  stocks  continueil  to  average 
higher,  both  as  compared  with  the  previ- 
ous week  and  the  corresponding  week  of 
last  year,  while  call-loan  rates,  although 
higher  than  a  year  ago.  were  lower  than 
in  the  previous  week.  The  Federal  reserve 
ratio  at  the  end  of  the  third  week  was 
higher  than  at  the  end  of  the  previous 
week  but  lower  than  a  year  ago.  Business 
failures,  although  larger  in  immber  than 
in  the  previous  week  of  this  >-ear,  were 
l.)wer  than  in  the  corresponding  week  of 
1925. 


REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

Loading  of  revmue  freight  for  the 
week  ended  on  July  10  totak-d  900,- 
977  cars,  according  to  reports  filed 
by  the  carriers  with  the  car  service 
division  of  the  American  Railway 
Association.  Due  to  the  observance 
of  Independence  Day,  this  was  a  de- 
crease of  171,647  cars  under  the  pre- 
ceding week. 

The  total  for  the  week  of  .hily  10 
was  also  a  decrease  of  8.5,916  cars 
under  the  corresponding  week  last 
year  and  a  decrease  of  9,006  cars 
under  the  corresponding  week  in 
1924.  In  making  comparisons,  how- 
ever, with  the  corresponding  weeks 
in  1924  and  192.5,  consideration  must 
be  given  to  the  fact  that  those  weeks 
did  not  contain  a  holiday  while  the 
week  of  July  10  this  year  did.

Number  4 


Should  the  Truck  Be  Regulated? 


IIOULD  motor  busses  and  trucks 
engaged  in  interstate  passenger  and 
freight  hauling  be  subject  to  the 
same  Federal  regulation  as  railroads 
similarly  engaged? 

This  is  the  subject  to  be  considered  at  a 
hearing  of  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis- 
sion in  the  assemblj'  room  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  beginning  Thursday,  August  12. 
Commissioner  Clyde  B.  Aitchison  and  Exami- 
ner Leo  Flynn  are  scheduled  to  conduct  the 
investigation,  which  is  expected  to  consume 
two,  and  possibly  three,  days. 

The  increasing  importance  of  the  motor 
truck  in  freight  transportation  during  recent 
years  has  been  recognized,  not  onlj^  by  the 
railroads  of  the  country,  but  by  manufacturers, 
jobbers,  and  by  the  automobile  industry  itself, 
and  it  is  to  determine  whether  or  not  the  time 
is  at  hand  to  advise  Federal  regulation,  that 
the  present  hearings  are  being  held. 

Although  the  local  hearings  will  be  attended 
with  much  interest  by  representatives  of  local 
organizations,  such  as  possiblj^  the  Canners' 
League,  the  Dried  Fruit  Association,  the  CaU- 
fornia  Farm  Biu'eau  Federation,  together  with 
manufacturers,  jobbers  and  shippers,  it  is 
pointed  out  that  business  in  California  is  less 
concerned  in  this  problem  than  in  the  East. 
There  are  only  two,  or  at  most  three,  motor 
truck  freight  services  in  California  extending 
bej'ond  the  state  limits.  One  is  between  San 
Diego  and  Arizona,  and  another  between 
Sacramento  and  Nevada.  These  are  exclusive 
of  a  passenger  bus  service  between  Texas  and 
Washington  and  passing  through  California. 

The  attitude  of  the  Commission  in  this  in- 
vestigation is  not  based  upon  a  predetermined 
policy  of  Federal  regulation,  but  rather  upon 
an  effort  to  determine  whether  the  time  is  at 


hand  to  recommend  such  a  course  to  Congress. 
Commenting  upon  the  recent  hearing  in 
Chicago,  a  newspaper  of  that  citj^  says  edito- 
rially: "In  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commis- 
sion's hearings  on  the  relation  between  high- . 
way  transportation  and  the  railroads,  and  in 
all  discussion  of  highway  transportation,  the 
paramount  consideration  should  be  public 
necessity  and  convenience.  .  .  . 

"Public  necessity  and  convenience  are  not 
served  by  the  giving  of  highway  transportation 
at  less  than  a  reasonable  cost,  even  though 
the  service  may  be  entirely  adequate  to  public 
needs.  The  American  railroads  are  an  invest- 
ment belonging  chiefly  to  millions.  As  between 
an  established  industry  and  one  in  a  formative 
stage,  the  former  is  entitled  to  the  presumption 
of  greater  necessity." 

William  P.  Helen,  Jr.,  in  the  La  Salle  Street 
Journal  of  Commerce,  says  that  in  short  haids 
raih'oads  cannot  compete  with  commercial 
trucks  on  even  terms,  with  respect  to  either 
rates,  convenience  or  speed  of  delivery. 

"That  is  why,"  he  says,  "some  of  the  leading 
railroad  executives  of  the  country  have  under- 
taken to  build  up  and  operate  their  own  motor 
fleets  as  part  of  their  service." 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  authoritj'  for  the  statement  that  fifty- 
one  railroads  in  the  United  States  are  today 
operating  motor  busses  and  trucks  in  connec- 
tion with  their  rail  service.  This  would  indicate 
that  the  motor  truck  is  fast  becoming  an  im- 
portant factor  in  the  nation's  business  of  com- 
mercial transportation,  and  if  not  subject  to 
regulating  legislation  is  at  least  deserving  of 
very  close  study  by  the  Federal  Commission. 

The  Cham.ber  will  be  represented  at  the 
hearings  by  Seth  Mann,  manager  of  the  Traffic 
Bureau.

factory  branch  here  the  first  of  this 
year  and  is  now  .serving  Central  and 
Nr)rthern  California,  Nevada,  and 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  through  the 
eompan.v'sSan  Francisco  warehou.se. 
This  new  factfiry  branch  carries  a 
complete  line  of  electric  refrigerators 
for  both  domestic  and  commercial 
use.  Methyl  chloride  is  used  as  the 
refrigeration  medium  and  an  electric 
motor  produces  the  circulation. 

GENERAL  APPLIANCE  COR- 
PORATION. 120  Eighth  Street,  is 
manufacturing  the  "Diamond 
Fla.sher  Button"  for  use  in  window 
display  lighting,  electrical  display 
signs,  and  all  other  forms  of  illumi- 
nated display.  The  Diamond  Flasher 
Button  is  a  small  disc  about  the  size 
of  a  quarter.  In  the  center  is  a 
thermostat  which  expands  with  the 
heat  of  electricity  (making  the  cir- 
cuit) and  then  contracts  as  it  cools 
(breaking  the  circuit).  This  making 
and  breaking  of  the  circuit  is  auto- 
matic and  regular  and  gives  con- 
tinuous flashing.  This  concern  in- 
tends, very  shortly,  to  start  the 
manufacture  of  the  "Gacor  Twinkle 
Set,"  a  Christmas  tree  string  with 
flashing  devices  incorporated  therein.

SAX  FRANCISCO  BUSl.NKSS,  AUGUST  4,  19>fi 


New  Yosemite  Valley  Highway  Opens 


Motorists  from  all  parts  of  Cali- 
fornia and  from  more  than  a  dozen 
different  states  gathered  in  Yosemite 
Valley  Saturday  night  where  one  of 
the  greatest  highway  celebrations 
California  has  known  since  the  first 
state  highway  bond  issue  was  voted 
sixteen  years  ago,  was  in  progress. 

Governor  Richardson,  state  high- 
way officials,  civic  leaders  and  repre- 
sentatives of  the  California  State 
Automobile  Association  and  the 
Automobile  Club  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia took  part  in  the  official  pro- 
gram which  began  Saturday  morn- 
ing with  the  opening  to  travel  of  the 
new  Yosemite  All-Year  Highway 
and  ended  Sunday  niglit  when  the 
seventy-fifth  anniversary  of  the  dis- 
covery of  the  Yosemite  Vallej^  was 
celebrated  by  a  great  pageant  in 
Royal  Arch  Meadows. 

The  spirit  of  the  jubilee  which 
pervaded  this  scenic  valley  was  in- 
spired by  more  enthusiasm  than 
usually  goes  with  the  comjjletion  of 
a  new  highway.  It  was  a  combina- 
tion of  many  circumstances  that 
made  tliis  celebration  one  that  will 
be  long  remembered. 

The  motorists,  of  course,  were 
jubilant  over  the  fact  that  their 
dream  of  an  all-year  highway  into 
Yosemite  ^'alley  is  at  last  a  reality. 
National  park  officials  were  jubilant 
because  the  recreational  possibilities 
of  this  national  playground  are  now- 
more  accessililc  to  the  people  of  the 
nation  than  ever  before. 

Califomians  in  general  are  jubi- 
lant because  the  sinmltaneous  open- 
ing of  the  new  highway  and  the 
celebration  of  the  seventy-fifth  an- 
niversary of  the  discovery  of  Yosem- 
ite N'alley  by  the  Mariposa  Battalion 
in  ISoI  have  resulted  in  broadcast- 
ing to  the  entire  nation  an  invitation 
to  come  to  California  to  play  or  stay 
where  Ufe  is  really  worth  the  living.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  AUGUST  11,  1926 


The  Growth  of  the  %ninsula 


,   ^     1'  )ULD   a   prophet   fore- 

EJ      cast  the  Bay  Region  that 
is  to  be,  he  would  un- 
,]      'loubtedly  picture  a  gi- 
gantic  horseshoe   one 
hundred    miles    from    end   to   end, 


curving  southward  along  the  East 
Bay  to  San  Jose  and  northward 
along  the  peninsula  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

He  would  visualize  an  unbroken 
chain  of  progressive  cities  and  com- 


munities adorned  with  beautiful 
residences  and  invigorated  by  thriv- 
ing industries:  a  closely  knitted 
unit  of  animated  and  business-like 
humanity  seriously  building  a  great 
industrial  area  while  conserving  the 
picturesque  natural  advantages  of 
the  Bay  Region  for  home  construc- 
tion. 

San  Francisco's  logical  growth  is 
down  the  peninsula.  Between  San 
Francisco  and  San  Jose  on  the 
southwesterly  shore  of  the  bay  is  a 
region  of  virtually  limitless  possi- 
bilities. Within  this  peninsula  dis- 
trict have  grown  up  in  the  last  few 
years  numerous  thriving  communi- 
ties. It  is  not  difficult  to  picture 
the  peninsula  transformed  into  a 
metropolis,  nor  is  it  difficult  to 
visualize  San  Francisco  as  an  inte- 
gral part  of  that  metropolis  rather 
than  as  a  city  on  the  tip  of  a  penin- 
sula. 

The  "Three  Cities"  are  rapidly 
growing  together,  creating  greater 
unity  in  matters  affecting  their 
common  interest.  The  huge  center 
of  population  they  are  destined  to 
form  will  unite  the  assets  of  each 
and  create  a  community  equipped 
with  all  the  resources  necessary  to  a 
rich  and  varied  life. 

With  San  Francisco  as  the  push- 
ing force,  due  to  its  geographical 
limitations,  new  and  important  in- 
dustries are  rapidly  discovering  the 
advantages  of  sites  along  the  penin- 
sula. 

The  first  great  step  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  peninsula  came  in  1907 
when  the  Bayshore  Cutoff  was  con- 
structed by  the  Southern  Pacific 
Company  at  a  cost  of    19,000,000,

r&uraC"  has  been  mailed  to  more 
than  one  hundred  and  eighty  key 
men  during  the  last  week.  At  the 
direction  of  Mr.  L.  M.  Voorsanger, 
chairman  of  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee, letters  reviewing  briefly  the 
major  acti\nties  of  the  Chamber  will 
be  mailed  regularly  each  month. 
The  first  communication,  under  date 
of  August  5,  follows: 

/.  San  Francisco's  Traffic  Problem: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  has  taken  a  definite  and 
active  lead  in  regard  to  this  major 
problem.  Through  the  initial  efforts 
of  the  Chamber,  Dr.  Miller  McClin- 
tock,  foremost  traffic  engineer  of  the 
United  States,  came  to  San  Fran- 
cisco to  preliminarily  investigate 
conditions.  Growing  out  of  that 
action,  a  Citizens  Committee  has 
been  formed,  headed  by  Mr.  Robert 

1.  Bentley,  which  committee  has 
employed  Dr.  McClintock  to  make 
the  necessary  survey. 

2.  Air  Port  for  San  Francisco: 

Due  to  the  efforts  of  the  Aerial 
Affairs  Committee  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce,  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  recently  appro- 
priated 8100,000.00  for  the"acquisi- 
tion  of  a  site  for  San  Francisco's  air 
port.  The  Aerial  Affairs  Committee 
has,  also,  recommended  to  the  Board 
of  Supervisors  a  suitable  location  for 
the  air  port.  With  the  establishment 
of  this  air  port  San  Francisco  will 
then  be  in  a  position  to  immediatelj' 
take  the  lead  on  the  Pacific  Coast  on 
matters  of  aviation. 


3.  New  Trade  Contacts  with  South 
America.  Central  America,  Japan: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  was  instrumental,  during 
the  la-st  session  of  Congress,  in  hav- 
ing the  Department  of  Commerce 
.\ppropriation  Bill  increa.sed  by 
S.'jO.OOO.OO,  which  money  will  be 
spent  in  employing  four  new  trade 
comrais,sioners  to  develop  business 
between  the  Pacific  Coast  and  the 
East  Coast  of  South  America,  Cen- 
tral America  and  Japan.  Three  of 
these  new  commissioners  are  now  in 
San  Francisco  acquainting  them- 
selves with  the  commercial  firms  in 
this  city  and  will  shortly  leave  for 
the  respective  countries  to  which 
they  are  accredited. 

4.  Hawaiian    and    New    Zealand 

Embargoes  Lifted: 

Through  the  efforts  of  the  Foreign 
and  Domestic  Trade  Department  of 
the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce the  embargoes  placed  against 
California  fruits  and  vegetables  by 
these  two  countiies  will  cease  to 
exist  on  September  18th  of  this  year. 
The  Hawaiian  embargo  on  ship- 
ments of  cloven-footed  animals  from 
California  has  already  been  removed. 

5.  Inter-City  Relations  Committee: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  has  decided  to  create  an 
Inter-City  Relations  Committee, 
designed  to  foster  harmonious  rela- 
tions between  San  Francisco  and  the 
cities  and  counties  of  Northern 
California.  This  committee,  w-hen 
formed,  will  deal  with  problems 
affecting  the  various  neighboring 
communities. 

6.  San  Francisco  Endorsement 

Council: 
The  San  Francisco  Endorsement 
Council  was  created  some  months 
ago  by  the  San  Francisco  Chamber 
of  Conunerce.  Since  its  inception  it 
has  been  estimated  the  Council  has 


saved  the  community  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  dollars  by  preventing 
drives  of  various  character  from 
being  launched  in  San  Francisco. 

7.  Registration  Bureau  Established: 
The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 

Commerce  has  been  exceedingly 
active  during  the  past  two  or  three 
months  in  doing  everj-thing  possible 
to  obtain  a  large  registration  for  the 
fall  elections.  A  Registration  Bureau 
has  been  maintained  at  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  for  aU  those  persons 
desiring  to  register  who  are  em- 
ployed in  the  financial  district. 

8.  Dinner  to  Major  General  Um- 

berto  Nobile: 
On  Thursday  evening.  July  1,  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce was  the  official  host  to  Major 
General  Umberto  Xobile,  navigator 
of  the  famous  Xorge. 

9.  Dinner    in    Honor    of    Crown 

Prince  and  Crown  Princess  of 

Sweden: 
On  Wednesday,  July  28,  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
was  the  official  host  at  a  dinner  given 
in  honor  of  Crown  Prince  Gustaf 
.\do!f  and  Crown  Princess  Louise  of 
Sweden.  This  dinner  was  fully  in 
keeping  with  the  rank  of  the  dis- 
tinguished \'isitors. 

10.  Conference  with  Assistant  Sec- 
retary of  War  McNider: 

A  group  of  San  Francisco  business 
men  interested  in  the  procurement 
of  suppUes  for  the  United  States 
Army  conferred  with  Colonel  Han- 
ford  McXider,  while  the  Assistant 
Secretary-  of  War  was  in  San  Fran- 
cisco.

HEN  the  weather  ele- 
ments have  been  observed 
for  a  suffieientlylongtime 
in  any  locahty  we  are  able 
to  make  a  useful  state- 
ment as  to  the  weather  which  may 
be  experienced  at  any  particular  time 
of  the  year  in  that  locality.  A  sum- 
mary of  these  observations  defines 
the  climate  of  a  given  place. 

Various  kinds  of  climates  are  char- 
acterized chiefly  with  regard  to 
moisture  and  temperature,  and  are 
defined  as  continental,  which  is  dry 
with  great  extremes  of  temperature ; 
insular  or  oceanic,  which  is  moist  and 
very  equable  in  temperature;  and 
tropical,  in  which  the  seasons  depend 
chiefly  upon  the  time  of  occurrence 
of  rainfall.  From  these  definitions  it 
wiU  be  noted  that  the  climate  of  San 
Francisco  conforms  to  no  one  of 
these  types,  but  is  a  composite  one, 
or  a  combination  of  insular  or 
oceanic  and  tropical.  We  have  many 
of  the  characteristics  of  the  insular 
or  oceanic  climate,  superimposed  on 
which  is  that  characteristic  of  tropi- 
cal climates — a  season  with  and  a 
season  without  rains. 


SBy  MAJOR  E.  H.  BOWIE 

Senior  Meteorologist,  United  States 

Weather  'bureau 

It  is  almost  universally  true  that 
in  the  temperate  zone  the  winds  are 
prevailing  from  the  west,  and  that 
places  located  on  the  east  shores  of 
oceans  and  large  lakes  have  much 
more  equable  climates  than  do 
places  located  on  the  west  shores  of 
similar  bodies  of  water.  The  control 
of  air  temperature  by  adjacent 
bodies  of  water  to  the  westward  is  a 
generally  recognized  factor  in  de- 
termining the  climate  of  a  given  lo- 
cality. The  effect  is  always  to  pro- 
duce warm  winters  and  relatively 
cool  summers.  This  is  so  for  the 
reason  that  the  bodies  of  water 
change  their  temperature  very  slowly 
and  relatively  slightly  in  comparison 
with  large  bodies  of  land,  and  this 
effect  is  communicated  to  the  air 
masses  over  and  to  the  eastward  of 
large  bodies  of  water.  Hence  it  is 
fortunate  if  a  city  in  the  temperate 
zone  is  so  situated  as  to  be  sur- 
rounded by  a  large  body  of  water  or 
to  have  a  large  body  of  water  to  the 


westward.  It  is  much  like  having  a 
continuously  operating  cooling  sys- 
tem in  the  months  that  would  other- 
wise be  warm  and  a  ready-made 
automatically  acting  heating  system 
in  operation  during  the  months  that 
would  otherwise  be  cold  with  great 
variations  in  temperature.  We  who 
live  on  the  Peninsula  or  somewhere 
else  in  the  Bay  Region  should  be 
grateful  for  the  influence  of  the 
waters  of  the  Pacific  Ocean  which 
keep  our  summers  and  winters  so 
genial  and  equable  that  one  lives  the 
year  in  and  out  without  a  vivid 
remembrance  of  having  passed 
through  the  four  seasons — winter, 
spring,  summer  and  autumn — for 
they  merge  one  into  the  other  by 
such  easy  stages  that  one  goes  and 
the  other  comes  with  nothing  in 
particular  to  mark  their  goings  and 
comings.  This  is  distinctly  different 
from  what  goes  on  in  the  interior, 
where  the  four  seasons  have  char- 
acteristics all  their  own,  some  of 
which  are  good  and  others  not  so 
good.  Strictly  speaking  San  Fran- 
cisco   has    but    two    seasons,    one

with  subsequent  betterments  and 
additions  bringing  the  total  to 
$13,000,000  at  the  present  time. 
This  project  involved  the  construc- 
tion of  five  tunnels  totaling  in 
length  9,938  feet  and  a  4,110-foot 
trestle  over  Islais  Creek  Basin.  The 
cutoff  eliminated  the  climb  over 
the  Valencia  Street  hill  and  gave  the 
railroad  an  almost  level  double 
track  exit  from  the  city. 

It  not  onlj'  brought  the  peninsula 
territory  ten  minutes  closer  to  the 
city  but  in  addition  permitted  the 
operation  of  a  larger  number  of 
trains,  and  the  beneficent  influence 
of  this  improved  operating  facility 
on  the  region  south  of  San  Francisco 


has  been  attested  by  the  remarkable 
development  since  that  time. 

To  San  Jose,  forty-seven  miles 
southwest  of  San  Francisco,  the  in- 
dustrial growth  of  the  peninsula 
follows  the  railroad  lines,  expanding 
east  and  west,  until  it  merges  with 
the  agricultural  development  of  the 
famous  Santa  Clara  Valley.  The 
vast  fruit  industry  of  California  had 
its  inception  in  Santa  Clara  County. 
This  development  was  begun  with 
the  planting  bj'  the  early  padres  of 
pears,  figs,  grapes  and  some  other 
fruits  for  the  use  of  the  Missions. 

There  are  today  in  Santa  Clara 
127,000  acres  of  prunes,  apricots, 
pears,  peaches,  plums,  cherries,  wal- 
nuts, grapes,  and  other  fruits  and 


nuts,  and  of  berries,  1500  acres. 
There  are  forty  canneries  and  almost 
as  many  packing  houses  employing 
at  the  peak  of  the  season  an  army 
of  approximately  20,000  men  and 
women  to  handle  the  fruit  that  is 
being  harvested  by  another  crew  of 
workers  in  the  orchards. 

San  Jose  is  the  metropolis  of  the 
fruitful  Santa  Clara  Valley.  It 
ranks  high  as  a  place  of  residence 
and  has  been  well  named  the  "Gar- 
den Citj-."  The  business  section  is 
attractive  and  there  are  noteworthy

vW  KRA.NCISCO  KI'SINESS.  AUGt'ST  11.  1926 


'Then  laugh,  lads;  and  quaff,  lads; 
'  Tirill  make  you  slout  and  ha-a-ale!" 

CHORUS  of  convivial 
chaps  m  a  low-ceiled  Sus- 
-■i'\  inn  howls  this  old 
1  iMintewithmagnificent 
InitisMmo  A  genial  host 
or  equally  genial  Hebe  refills  the 
tankards  and  they  turn  loose  the 
other  barrel: 

"Through  all-l-l-l  my  days  I'll  sing 
the  praise 
Of  Brow-w-v}-n  October  A-a-a-ale!" 

A  jolly  crowd  proclaiming  its 
praise  of  British  ale;  an  institution 
as  British  as  cold  toast,  a  joint  of 
mutton  or  a  Yorkshire  pudding.Tell 
one  of  them  that  it's  Brown  Cali- 
fornia Ale  that  they're  jolly  well 
shouting  about  and  he'll  give  you  a 
cold  look,  exclaim  "Silly  rot!"  and 
what  not  and  what  not.  But  is  it? 

Brewing,  in  England,  is  tradi- 
tionally a  fine  art,  and  brewers  have 
verj'  justly  been  rewarded  for  their 
efforts  toward  the  national  comfort 
with  titles  and  crests  and  similar 
chattel.  But  if  rightful  recognition 
of  this  boon  to  Britons  were  be- 
stowed where  it  belongs  every  barley 
and  hop  grower  in  California  would 
be  wearing  a  Croix  de  Beer  or  some 


iinilar  insignia.  For,  while  he  has 
not  exactly  put  the  bar  in  barley,  he 
has  laid  the  groundwork,  as  it  were, 
and  started  the  thing  off  right. 
Fifty  per  cent  of  the  barley  grown 
in  California  is  sent  to  England, 
through  San  Francisco,  and  the 
British  brewer  does  the  rest. 

A  great  deal  has  been  written 
about  all  the  Scotch  that  is  supposed 
to  be  sent  over  to  this  countn,'  evei-y 
year  from  the  tight  little  island,  but 
not  much  has  been  said  of  the  SIO,- 
000,000  and  more  of  potential  'arf- 
and-'arf  that  is  sent  over  seas  everj' 
year  from  California.  And  the  rum 
runner  doesn't  make  a  nickel  on  the 
transaction.  It  is  all  legitimate  busi- 
ness and  the  whole  ten  or  twelve 
million  dollars'  worth  of  pounds, 
shillings  and  pence  goes  into  the  jeans 
of  the  California  farmer  and  shipper. 
Besides  the  barley  we  send  over  a 
million  pounds  of  hops  a  year  to  go 
with  it.  California  grows  the  best 
malting  barley  in  the  world. 

There  are  a  billion  some  odd 
hundred  million  people  on  this  earth, 
and  there  are  just  about  that  many 
bushels  of  barley  grown  each  year. 
Don't  take  it  too  hard  if  you  miss 
out  on  a  part  of  your  bushel,  or  its 
liquid  equivalent,  because  a  lot  of  it 
is  fed  on  the  farm  to  horses,  hogs, 
cattle  and  sheep. 

Barley  ranks  close  to  corn  as  a 
first-rate  conditioning  food.  Russia 


normally  grows  about  a  fourth  of 
the  world's  barley  and  formerly  ex- 
ported a  large  quantity  to  Germany 
to  be  used  for  making — guess  what? 
Correct.  The  United  States  produces 
a  fifth  more  of  the  world's  barley, 
followed  by  India,  Canada,  Ger- 
many, Spain,  Japan  and  Czecho- 
slovakia and  many  other  countries. 

California  produces  a  fifth  or  a 
sixth  of  all  the  barley  grown  in  this 
country,  being  followed  by  North 
Dakota,  Kansas,  and  other  Middle 
Western  states.  Prohibition  has  not 
cut  down  the  production  of  barley 
in  the  United  States  but  it  has 
worked  some  shifts  in  the  economies 
of  the  industry.  Farmers  who  form- 
erl}'  grew  barley  for  brewing  as  a 
cash  crop  now  have  to  turn  it  into 
pork,  beef  or  mutton  before  they 
can  collect  on  it.  Not  so  in  California. 

The  brew  depends  on  the  barley, 
just  as  much  as  the  wine  on  the 
grape  or  the  aroma  on  the  burley. 
The  dry  summer  weather  in  Cali- 
fornia causes  the  barley  to  be  well 
ripened  before  it  is  cut.  This  is  a 
prime  requisite  for  malting  and  was 
the  chief  factor  in  producing  the 
famous  old  -  time  San  Francisco 
steam.  Export  trade  demands  a 
good  barley,  well  ripened,  low  in 
protein  content  and  with  only  a 
small  percentage  of  cracked  or 
broken  grains.  California  barley 
comes  up  to  these  standards.  More 
than  a  half  of  all  barley  produced  in 
California  is  shipped  out  of  the  stale 
and  upwards  of  80  per  cent  of  the 
shipments  are  foreign — the  great 
majority  to  the  United  Kingdom. 
In  other  words,  California  produces 
some  thirty  to  thirty-five  million 
bushels  of  barley  a  year,  or  about

without  rain  which  is  cool  and  brac- 
ing, anil  the  other  mild  with  its 
rains. 

There  are  tho.se  who  at  times  find 
fault  with  the  weather  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  that  is  logical,  I  assume, 
for  one  who  is  accustomed  to  the 
best  is  inchned  to  rail  against  that 
which  falls  a  little  short  of  the  best. 
No  climate  can  be  at  its  best  day  in 
and  day  out  year  after  year.  San 
Francisco  has  a  fine  climate,  a 
climate  to  which  many  would  come 
did  they  but  realize  how  fine  it  is 
during  the  twelve  months  of  every 
year. 

Comparisons  Unnecessary 

A  comparison  of  the  climatic 
record  of  this  city  with  other  cities 
could  easily  be  made,  for  the  record 
of  climatic  facts  for  San  Francisco 
covers  three-quarters  of  a  century, 
but  that  is  not  always  a  nice  thing 
to  do.  It  is  the  better  plan  to  set 
forth  the  facts  that  speak  for  them- 
selves and  to  invite  the  man  else- 
where to  make  the  comparison  be- 
tween that  which  has  been  recorded 
here  and  elsewhere. 

The  record  of  the  climate  of  San 
Francisco  is  authentic  as  far  back  as 
September  1,  1849.  This  record  re- 
veals an  annual  average  tempera- 
ture of  San  Francisco  of  56.1  de- 
grees, and  it  also  shows  that  the 
coolest  month  is  January,  which  has 
an    average    temperature    of    50.0 


degrees,  and  the  warmest  month 
September,  which  has  an  average 
temperature  of  61.2  degrees.  The 
coolest  month  averages  but  11.2 
degrees  below  the  warmest  month, 
which  is  a  remarkable  record  com- 
pared with  that  of  interior  and 
Eastern  cities.  The  average  of  the 
daily  highest  temperatures  for  the 
year  is  61.9  and  of  the  lowest  49.9 
degrees.  The  temperature  in  San 
Francisco  has  never  fallen  below  29 
degrees  nor  has  it  risen  beyond  101 
degrees.  The  record  shows  that  San 
Francisco  on  an  average  has  but  70 
days  with  measurable  amounts  of 
rainfall,  nearly  all  of  which  occur 
between  October  and  April.  The 
average  annual  rainfall  of  San 
Francisco  is  22.52  inches.  The  winds 
of  San  Francisco  are  prevailing  from 
the  west  and  blow  at  an  average 
speed  of  9.5  miles  an  hour.  Winds  of 
gale  force  are  infrequent. 

Study  the  Table 

In  the  table  accompanying  this 
article  are  summarized  the  meteoro- 
logical conditions  observed  at  San 
Francisco  during  the  year  1925.  It 
is  worth  your  careful  study.  The 
year  1925  was  in  nearly  all  respects 
an  average  year  climatically  speak- 
ing in  San  Francisco. 

In  conclusion:  The  climate  of  San 
Francisco  is  not  hot  enough  to 
induce  languor  nor  cold  enough  to 
produce  discomfort.  It  is  neither  hot 
nor  cold,  but  just  right. 


Advertising  Homes 

San  Francisco's  position  in  the 
world  of  finance  was  strikingly  ex- 
ploited late  last  month  in  The  Wall 
Street  Journal  through  the  instru- 
mentality of  Leib-Keyston  &  Com- 
pany, members  of  the  San  Francisco 
Stock  and  Bond  Exchange.  This 
brokerage  house  had  reproduced  as 
an  advertisement  over  its  signature 
its  semi-annual  tabulation  of  bank 
statistics  published  by  it  in  pam- 
phlet form  for  circulation  among 
bank  executives  and  investors. 

The  figures  represent  a  digest  of 
the  statements  based  on  the  calls  of 
the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  and 
the  State  Superintendent  of  Banks  as 
of  June  30,  1926,  and  a  comparison 
with  the  figures  as  of  December  30, 
1925. 

Deposits  for  the  eighteen  banks, 
the  tabulation  shows,  aggregated  in 
e.<cess  of  81,442,000,000  at  the  close 
of  the  last  fiscal  year.  Total  capital 
stock  paid  in  was  in  excess  of 
$75,000,000,  with  surplus,  undivided 
profits  and  special  reserves  account- 
ing for  another  .$65,000,000.  Besides 
the  customary  figures  of  the  state- 
ment of  condition,  the  tabulation 
presents  the  book  value  of  the  stock 
of  each  bank  and  its  dividend  rate. 

Since  the  advertisement  appeared 
the  local  house  has  received  many 
inquiries  from  bankers  in  various 
parts  of  the  country.

A/earby  beauty  i'pots  G/41ong  the  Peninsula

not  a  mission  town,  San  Jose  is  an 
historic  city.  It  was  founded  in 
1777,  the  first  pueblo  in  Alta  Cali- 
fornia. San  Jose  is  noted  as  an  edu- 
cational center  and  within  its  limits 
is  the  State  Teachers'  College, 

From  San  Jose  northeasterly  along 
the  tidewaters  of  San  Francisco  Bay 
are  thriving  cities  and  communities 
unrivaled  for  natural  advantages 
both  for  industrial  development  and 
home  enviromnent. 

Santa  Clara,  which  adjoins  San 
Jose  on  the  north,  is  another  impor- 
tant center  for  factories  and  fruit- 
packing.  Here  the  University  of 
Santa  Clara,  which  grew  up  around 
the  old  mission  founded  in  1777,  is 
located.  The  present  population  of 
Santa  Clara  is  over  6,000. 


Among  the  iiiip(jrtunt  industrial 
concerns  at  Santa  Clara  are:  Baker 
Evaporating  Company,  Black  Fruit 
Company,  Eberhard  Tanning  Com- 
pany, Homer  Knowles  Pottery  Com- 
pany, Merritt  Pipe  Company,  Jones 
Brother,  Pacific  Manufacturing  Co., 
Pratt  Low  Preserving  Company, 
Rosenberg  Brothers  &  Company, 
Pacific  Gas  and  Electric  Company, 
and  the  Santa  Clara  Walnut  Grow- 
ers Association,  a  new  industry  of 
this  present  year. 

The  diversity  of  industry  in  Santa 
Clara  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that 
the  above  list  includes :  Dehydrated 
fruit,  fresh  fruit,  leather  and  hides, 
dinnerware,  concrete  pipe,  vinegar, 
lumber,  canned  fruits  and  vegeta- 
ble, dried  fruits  and  nuts,  pipe  stor- 
ing and  packing. 


Southeast  of  Santa  Clara  and  San 
Jose  is  Los  Gatos,  on  the  main  hne 
to  Santa  Cruz,  primarily  a  residen- 
tial city  but  with  important  facili- 
ties for  fruit  shipping.  Los  Gatos 
nestles  on  the  side  of  the  foothills, 
its  altitude  varying  between  400 
and  2,000  feet  above  sea  level.  It  is 
near  the  western  boundary  of  Santa 
Clara  Valley  and  is  destined  to  be 
one  of  the  popular  home  cities  in 
California. 

A  few  miles  north  of  Santa  Clara 
is  Mountain  View,  which  is  rapidly 
developing  into  an  important  manu- 
facturing and  industrial  center.  The 
present  population  of  Mountain 
View  is  3,500,  a  25  per  cent  increase 
in  the  last  four  years.  Among  the

of  verj-  interesting  radio  talks  de- 
signed to  sell  San  Francisco  indus- 
trially to  the  people  of  the  city. 
These  talks  are  given  each  Friday 
evening  at  7 :20  over  KPO  by  Capen 
A.  Fleming,  manager  of  the  depart- 
ment. 

12.  Delegation  from  Bakersjidd 

Chamber  oj  Commerce  Enter- 
tained: 

A  delegation  con.sisting  of  some 
twenty  of  the  leading  business  men 
of  Bakersfield,  representing  the 
Bakersfield  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
were  luncheon  guests  of  the  directors 
of  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  on  Friday,  June  18,  1926. 
This  visit  from  Bakersfield  recalls 
the  trips  to  San  Francisco  made 
earlier  in  the  year  by  delegations 
from  the  Sacramento  and  Stockton 
Chambers  of  Commerce,  all  of  which 
were  designed  to  further  trade  rela- 
tions between  these  cities  of  North- 
ern California  and  San  Francisco. 

13.  Participation  in  International 
Lions  Convention: 

The  Hospitality  Bureau  of  the 
San   Francisco   Chamber   of   Com- 


merce, through  the  manager  of  that 
bureau,  had  complete  charge  of  the 
women's  auxiliarj'  program  during 
the  week  of  this  important  con- 
vention. 

14.  National  Editorial  Association: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  had  complete  charge  of 
the  entertainment  of  the  delegates 
to  the  National  Editorial  A.s.socia- 
tion  when  they  were  in  San  Fran- 
cisco on  July  14.  A  program  was 
arranged  on  that  day  which  resulted 
in  the  delegates  of  this  important 
association  gaining  a  splendid  im- 
pression from  %vhich  will  flow  wide- 
spread publicity  for  San  Francisco. 

15.  Assisted  in  the  Reception  and 
Entertainment  of  Other  Con- 
ventions: 

During  the  last  two  months,  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  through  its 
Hospitality  and  Publicity  depart- 
ments, participated  in  the  reception 
and  entertainment  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Advertising  Clubs  Association 
Convention,  the  New  York  Graphic 
Coast  to  Coast  Tour,  National  Con- 
vention of  the  Portuguese  Society  of 
Queen  Isabelle  held  in  San  Fran- 


cisco, and  the  Kappa  Alpha  Theta 
National  Convention. 

16.  Rate  Increase  Prevented: 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
was  instrumental  in  preventing  the 
5  per  cent  rate  increase  on  all  rates 
to  and  from  the  Pacific  Coa-st  applied 
for  by  rail  carriers.  A  representative 
of  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  presented  the  interests  of 
San  Francisco  at  the  hearings  in 
Chicago  l)efore  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commi.ssion,  which  denied  the 
appUcation  of  carriers  for  this  in- 
crease. 

17.  Invitation  to  5,000  Delegates  to 
the  American  Bankers  Asso-

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  now  engaged  in  mailing 
an  in\'itation  of  welcome  to  San 
Francisco  to  the  5,000  delegates  who 
will  attend  the  American  Bankers

in  the  last  four  years,  the  number 
now  being  around  10,000. 

Midway  between  San  Francisco 
and  San  .Io.se,  Redwood  City  is  the 
center  of  the  industrial  expansion 
along  the  peninsula.  Among  its 
important  industrial  concerns  are:

Redwood  City  is  the  seat  of  gov- 
ernment for  the  county  of  San  Ma- 
teo. Near  Redwood  City  the  lower 
end  of  the  bay  is  crossed  by  the 
Dumbarton  Bridge,  across  which 
runs  a  branch  of  Southern  Pacific 
Lines  carrying  freight  from  the  in- 
terior of  the  state  and  eastern  points 
direct  to  San  Francisco. 

San  Carlos,  just  north  of  Red- 
wood City,  has  a  fine  industrial 
growth,  its  industries  including  the 
San  Carlos  Feed  &  Fuel  Company, 
San  Carlos  Lumber  Company,  Cali- 
fornia Concrete  Products  Company, 
and  the  Wye  Oil  Company.  South- 
ern Pacific  Company  has  just  com- 
pleted a  mile  of  industrial  track  at 
San  Carlos.  At  Belmont,  adjacent 
to  San  Carlos  on  the  north,  San 
Francisco  Bay  Terminals  Companies 
have  purchased  in  excess  of  4,000 
acres  of  land  and  are  contemplating 
construction  to  be  known  as  Port 
San  Francisco.  Trackage  for  the 
terminal  has  been  applied  for. 

Seven  miles  north  of  Redwood 
City  is  San  Mateo,  which  city  and 
Burlingame,  two  miles  north,  and 
Hillsborough,  to  the  west,  form  the 
"Three  Cities,"  unrivaled  residen- 
tial communities  of  the  Pacific 
Slope.  Golf  clubs,  polo  clubs,  wom- 
en's clubs,  yacht  clubs,  and  beauti- 


ful bathing  beaches  are  in  the  con- 
fines of  the  Three  Cities. 

East  San  Mateo  offers  exceptional 
advantages  for  manufacturing  sites, 
being  ideally  situated  for  water  and 
rail  transportation.  Hillsborough, 
San  Mateo  and  Burlingame  are 
probably  the  fastest-growing  cities 
in  California.  Beautiful  homes  are 
being  constructed  at  an  amazing 
rate  and  the  number  of  building  per- 
mits issued  for  this  region  during  the 
past  few  years  has  been  at  the  top  of 
the  hst  in  California. 

Some  of  the  finest  highways  in 
the  United  States  are  in  San  Mateo 
County.  With  a  delightful  climate, 
where  flowers  and  fruit  abound, 
where  mountain  and  stream  hold  a 
lure  for  the  tourist  and  vacationist, 
the  region  around  San  Mateo  is 
truly  one  of  Nature's  wonder  gar- 
dens. 

The  present  population  of  Bur- 
lingame is  14,000,  an  increase  of 
6,500  in  the  last  four  years.  Recent 
new  industries  are  a  new  theater  at 
a  co.st  of  $450,000;  a  new  furnishing 
goods  store  at  a  cost  of  .1i;i00,000; 
the  Pacific  Telephone  and  Telegraph 
Company's  new  building  at  a  cost  of 
.$80,000;  and  a  new  hotel  at  a  cost 
of  $90,000.

last  four  years.    Among  the  indus-

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  AUGUST  11,  1926 


^an  c5Wateo,  the  City  of  Opportunity 


SAN  MATEO,  the  center  of  the 
San  Francisco  peninsula,  is 
making  great  strides  in  the 
matter  of  development.  The  physi- 
cal and  industrial  development  is  a 
thing  foremost  in  the  minds  of  not 
only  residents  of  the  Peninsula  but 
of  San  Francisco. 

Every  city  on  the  Peninsula  is 
thinking  in  large  terms  and  San 
Mateo  has  been  in  the  vanguard.  It 
is  vision,  not  population,  that  makes 
a  community.  We  have  that  vision 
and  it  is  gradually  being  realized. 
For  more  than  four  years  the  city  of 
San  Mateo  has  given  serious  con- 
sideration to  the  various  matters 
that  demand  community  action 
through  the  central  clearing  house — 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  From 
indifference,  lack  of  confidence  and 
a  general  misunderstanding  of  the 
potential  possibilities  and  oppor- 
tunities, came  a  definite  and  pro- 
nounced movement  to  make  San 
Mateo  grow  and  prosper. 

It  is  obvious  that  San  Francisco 
must  grow  down  the  Peninsula.  This

is  the  logical  direction  for  her  ex- 
pansion. San  Mateo  is  a  residential 
suburb  of  this  great  metropolitan 
city.  Here  85  per  cent  of  our  people 
are  commuters  to  San  Francisco,  for 
we  are  only  35  minutes  from  Market 
Street.  The  Southern  Pacific  main- 
tains 68  passenger  trains  daily  with 
the  lowest  commutation  rates  any- 
where in  America.  Besides  our  ex- 
cellent highways,  including  the  State 
Highway,  the  Bayshore  Boulevard 
(not  quite  completed)  and  the  Sky- 
line Boulevard,  the  Market  Street 
Railway  maintains  ten-minute  serv- 
ice and  the  Peninsula  Rapid  Transit 
Company  thirty-minute  service. 

The  business  section  of  San  Mateo 
has  an  atmosphere  of  success.  The 
development  here  shows  that  the 
sun  shines  brightly  for  the  San 
Francisco-San  Mateo  Peninsula. 
The  latest  progress  is  the  construc- 
tion of  a  new  eight-story  hotel.  This 
will  be  a  ,$350,000  structure,  the 
largest  single  building  improvement 
in  the  history  of  San  Mateo's  down- 
town district. 

Educational  Center 

An  ideal  educational  center  is  to 
be  found  here.  Not  only  have  we 
several  beautiful  grammar  schools, 
a  new  high  school  (now  being  con- 
structed), that  are  superior  schools 
in  the  United  States,  but  also  a  fine 
junior  college.  The  San  Mateo 
Junior  College  is  an  accredited  in- 
stitution, graduates  being  admitted 
without  examination  to  junior  classes 
of  the  universities  of  California  and 
Stanford. 

We  are  not  merely  developing 
along  one  trend,  however.  The  sum- 
mer symphony  "open  air"  concerts 
being  held  this  season  in  San  Mateo 
are  full  of  significance.  The  people 
on  the  Peninsula  are  emulating  the 
example  of  the  Hollywood  Bowl. 
With  a  very  equable  climate  with 
no  fog,  and  not  quite  so  warm  as  the 
South,  we  have  seen  no  reason  why 
San  Mateo  County  should  not  have 
concerts  as  attractive  as  any  in 
America.  The  venture  has  been  a 
decided  success  and  promises  a  great 
future.  The  spotlight  is  being  con- 
sistently turned  on  our  Peninsula 
cities. 

Here  healthy,  happy  children 
make  happy  homes  in  San  Francisco's 


sunshine  suburbs.  The  climate  invites 
outdoor  pleasure  and  we  have  it  all  to 
offer  in  this  beauty  spot.  Here  we  have 
real  play,  including  golf,  tennis,  swim- 
ming, polo,  horseback  riding,  and 
similar  sports  every  day  in  the  year. 
There  is  an  abundance  of  sunshine 
and  recreation. 

In  San  Mateo,  the  classic  section 
of  the  Peninsula,  you  are  invited  to 
secure  a  home  amid  culture,  beauty 
and  refinement.  Two  building  and 
loan  associations  will  assist  you  in 
securing  the  kind  of  home  you  so 
desire.  Life  down  here  is  just  a  little 
bit  more  than  a  little  bit  better!  It's 
worth  investigating  thoroughly  at 
once.

lustration.  A  few  visited  the  Eastern 
factories  or  attended  markets  east  of 
the  Mississippi.  There  were  prac- 
tically no  factories  producing  furni- 
ture in  the  West. 

This  week  the  present  furniture 
market  is  attracting  several  thou- 
sand buyers  from  a  dozen  or  more 
states  who  will  stock  their  .stores 
from  personally  inspected  goods 
represented  in  the  GOO  or  more 
factory  tlisplays.  Dealers  are  being 
brought  to  contact  with  each  other 
and  with  factory  representatives. 
There  is  an  increased  interest  in 
([uality  and  style;  a  greater  under- 
standing on  the  part  of  both  the 
producing  and  the  selling  ends  as  to 
the  mutual  problems  of  each  other. 

San  Francisco  has  grown  in 
prestige  until  today  it  ranks  with 
Chicago  and  New  York  in  the.se 
expositions.  New  factories  have  been 
attracted  here,  some  of  them 
branches  of  the  largest  and  best 
known  in  the  furniture  industry. 

This  is  the  story  behind  the  pres- 
ent gathering  here  of  furniture 
buyers  that  the  average  San  Fran- 
ciscan will  overlook,  but  it  is  a  story 
that  has  a  definite  relation  to  the 
increa.sed  commerce  and  growing 
population  of  San  Francisco. 

In  the  600  displays  are  represented 
a  factory  output  of  more  than  half  a 
billion  dollars  a  year,  according  to 
those  in  charge  of  the  market.  The 
present  market  is  outstripping  all 
others  from  the  standpoint  of  at- 
tendance as  well  as  from  that  of  the 
amount  of  business  transacted. 

With  it  all  is  an  increasing  friendly 
feeling  towards  San  Francisco. 

"These  buj'ers  like  to  come  to  San 
Francisco;  they  like  to  see  and  to 
buy  and  to  combine  business  with 
pleasure  because  San  Francisco  is  a 
hospitable  place  to  do  that  sort  of 
thing,"  according  to  one  veteran 
buyer  who  is  a  regular  attendant  at 
the  twice-a-year  markets. 

The  present  market  is  being 
marked  by  annual  noon-day  pro- 
grams and  the  sessions  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Retail  Furniture  Association, 
both  of  which  are  being  held  at  the 
Palace  Hotel. 

The  luncheon  programs  are  as 
follows:  Monday,  Dr.  Walter  J. 
Dexter,  president,  Whittier  College, 
"Relationship  Between  the  Better 
Home  and  Education";  Tuesday,

What  Becomes  of  California's  Barley 
and  Hops? 


[  continue.. 

1,100,000  acres,  and  about  twelve 
million  bushels  are  shipped  to 
foreign  ports,  of  which  about  eleven 
million  are  destined  for  British  con- 
sumption in  liquid  form.  This  barley 
has  an  average  value  of  approxi- 
mately a  dollar  a  bushel.  Virtually 
all  barley  shipped  from  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay  is  for  brewing  purposes, 
and  many  an  old  experienced  English 
malt  master  will  tell  you  that  it  is 
the  best  malting  barley  in  the  world. 

The  main  barley  regions  of  Cali- 
fornia are  adjacent  to  San  Francisco 
Bay  in  the  San  Joaquin  and  Sacra- 
mento valleys  with  a  lesser  center 
in  the  Salinas  Valley.  All  the  export- 
ing of  California  barley  with  the 
exception  of  a  very  small  fraction  of 
one  per  cent  is  from  San  Francisco 
Bay. 

Formerly  Port  Costa  was  the 
main  storage  and  loading  center, 
but  of  recent  years  the  tendency  has 
been  to  store  and  ship  from  Islais 
Creek.  It  is  a  great  advantage  in 
sampling,  trading  and  carrying  on 
business  to  have  the  barley  within  a 
few  minutes  of  the  Merchants  Ex- 


froni  paye  9  1 

change.  Announcement  was  made 
recently  of  new  and  enlarged  facili- 
ties for  barley  storing  and  handling 
at  the  Islais  Creek  terminal. 

Just  the  other  evening  several 
leading  grain  traders  were  at  Islais 
Creek  watching  a  ship  cast  off.  She 
had  just  finished  loading  barley  and 
hops  for  the  United  Kingdom.  One 
of  them  remarked  on  the  healthy 
growth  of  the  business,  the  steadi- 
ness of  the  British  demand  and  the 
good  fortune  of  the  California 
growers  in  having  a  profitable  export 
market  which  took  nearly  half  the 
crop  and  paid  from  ten  to  twelve 
million  dollars  a  year  for  barley  be- 
sides taking  about  a  million  pounds 
of  recompressed  hops. 

"Yes,"  remarked  another  of  the 
group,  "it  is  a  good  thing  we  have 
some  place  to  ship  them  to  because 
we  haven't  got  much  use  for  them 
here  now." 

After  that  no  one  spoke  for  several 
moments  and  the  ship  swung  into 
the  channel  and  down  the  bay  on  its 
way  out  of  the  Golden  Gate.

When  the  underpass  which  will 
take  the  east  side  highway  under  the 
tracks  of  the  Southern  Pacific  rail- 
road, a  few  hundred  yards  south  of 
the  South  San  Francisco  station  of 
the  railroad,  is  completed,  develop- 
ment in  South  San  Francisco  and  aU 
along  the  peninsula  will  be  notably 
stimulated. 


The  cost  of  this  great  undertaking 
has  been  apportioned  by  the  Cali- 
fornia Railroad  Commission  as  fol- 
lows: to  the  Southern  Pacific  Com- 
panj',  38  per  cent ;  to  the  South  San 
Francisco  Belt  Line  Railroad  432 
per  cent;  to  the  California  Highway 
Commission,  57J/2  per  cent. 

This  grade  separation,  the  con- 
tract for  which  has  been  awarded 
within  the  last  thirtj-  days,  is  by  far 
the  largest  yet  planned  for  the  state 
highway  system.  It  will  have  a 
clear  roadway  width  of  forty  feet 
and  at  one  side  a  separate  subway, 
ten  feet  above  the  grade  of  the  road, 
wOl  accommodate  an  eight-foot  side- 
walk. The  deck  of  this  great  subway 
will  proWde  space  for  sLvteen  lines  of 
railroad    Future  expansion  of  rail- 


road facilities  is  thus  provided  for. 

The  peninsula  from  San  Francisco 
to  as  far  south  as  San  Jose  is  a  good 
example  of  a  growth  induced  by 
steady  improvement  in  transporta- 
tion facilities.  The  record  of  South- 
ern Pacific  train  ser%'ice  reveals  that 
that  company  is  a  fundamental  fac- 
tor in  the  developments  of  the  penin- 
sula territorj'. 

Thirty-five  trains  daily  in  penin- 
sula service,  running  in,  and  35 
trains  running  out  of  San  Francisco, 
adequately  care  for  the  army  of 
commuters  who  ride  between  their 
homes  and  their  business.  Fast 
schedules  permit  a  45-minute  run  to 
Palo  Alto,  and  an  hour  to  an  hour 
and  ten  minutes  for  fast  trains  to 
San  Jose. 


SA.N  FRANflSCo  BISINESS,  AUGUST  11,  1926 


The  L/nderpass  at  .South  ^'an  Francisco 


CONSTRUCTION  of  the  Bay 
Shore  Highway,  a  great  com- 
mercial artery  that  will  ex- 
tend from  San  Francisco  to  San 
Jose,  will  be  further  advanced  by 
building  the  Underpass  at  South 
San  Francisco. 

Contracts  for  the  Underpass  have 
been  awarded  by  the  California 
Highway  Commission  to  Barrett  & 
Hilp,  of  San  Francisco,  and  prelimi- 
nary work  on  the  big  improvement 
already  is  under  way. 

The  new  highway  has  been  de- 
signed to  provide  better  transporta- 
tion facilities  to  and  from  the  great 
Peninsula  territory,  the  outlet  being 
through  the  industrial  section  of  San 
Francisco,  affording  an  easy  route 
for  use  by  commercial  trucks. 

Grading  work  has  been  done  be- 
tween   South    San    Francisco    and 


Broadway  at  Burlingame,  the  new 
grade  extending  across  tidelands 
just  south  of  South  San  Francisco. 

The  Underpass,  beneath  all  main- 
line tracks  of  the  Southern  Pacific, 
will  afford  a  straight-line  route  for 
the  movement  of  vehicles.  The 
structure  will  be  similar  to  the  sub- 
way at  the  San  Francisco  ferry 
building.  It  will  provide  a  roadway 
40  feet  wide,  sufficient  to  accommo- 
date exceptionally  heavy  traffic. 
The  length  of  the  Underpass  is  1,182 
feet. 

In  addition  to  the  40-foot  roadway 
there  will  be  a  walk  for  pedestrians, 
another  eight  feet  being  allowed  for 
this  feature.  Total  co.st  of  the 
Underpass  is  placed  at  S300,000  and 
it  is  estimated  by  contractors  that  it 
will  require  close  to  300  days  in 
which  to  complete  the  structure. 


Between  San  Francisco  and  South 
San  Francisco  the  present  road  will 
be  straightened,  eliminating  curves 
and  grades.  Buildings  will  be  re- 
moved and  the  road  widened,  afford- 
ing ample  room  for  the  approach  to 
the  Underpass  at  South  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

Continuing  across  the  tidelands 
between  South  City  and  Burlin- 
game, the  route  of  the  new  highway 
proceeds  down  the  Peninsula,  con- 
tacting Seventh  Street  in  SanMateo. 

Engineers  of  the  Highway  Com- 
mission point  out  that  the  Bay 
Shore  Highway  route  is  new  and 
that  it  does  not  hook  up  with  pre- 
viously constructed  roads  south  of 
South  San  Francisco.

for  Kroehler  Go. 

THK  Kroehler  Manufacturing 
Company,  largest  makers  of 
furniture  in  the  world,  will 
establish  a lialf-million-dollarfactorj' 
in  San  Francisco.  This  is  the  an- 
nouncement by  E.  R.  Roscntrater, 
vice  president  and  local  manager  of 
the  company,  through  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Connnerce,  which 
has  worked  tirelessly  for  several 
months  to  secure  this  large  industry 
for  San  Francisco.  The  property 
transaction,  which  was  handled 
through  the  firm  of  Harrigan  Wei- 
flenmuUer  Co.,  involves  an  ideal 
industrial  site  comprising  almost 
fcmr  acres  bordering  the  new  Bay 
Shore  Highway,  in  what  is  known 
as  the  Paul  .\venue  Tract,  between 
San  Bruno  and  Third  Street. 

The  Kroehler  Company  wiU  erect 
a  three-story-and-basement  struc- 
ture, for  which  ground  was  broken 
on  Monday,  August  2.  The  plant 
will  include  three  lumber  dry  kilns, 
power  house,  automobile  shed,  load- 
ing platform  and  minor  buildings. 
The  main  factorj'  building  will  pro-

space.  The  building  will  be  rein- 
forced concrete  and  will  represent 
the  last  word  in  factory  construc- 
tion. It  will  be  fully  equipped  with 
wood-working  machinery  of  the 
most  modern  type,  and  when  in  full 
force  will  employ  from  three  hun- 
dred to  four  hundred  men.  The  plant 
will  be  in  operation  December  1st  of 
this  year. 

The  decision  of  the  Kroehler 
Company  to  establish  its  factory  in 
San  Francisco  was  reached  after 
thorough  surveys  of  this  and  neigh- 
boring cities,  in  which  the  Chamber 
of  C^ommerce  and  the  Furniture 
Exchange  extended  every  possible 
cooperation.  This  assistance,  accord- 
ing to  Mr.  Rosentrater,  together 
with  the  outstanding  advantages  of 
the  site  chosen,  prompted  the  de- 
cision of  the  company. 

Two  years  ago  the  Kroehler  Com- 
pany, headquarters  of  which  are  in 
Chicago,  purchased  the  Continental 
Furniture  Manufacturing  Company 
of  San  Francisco  and  Los  Angeles, 
and  has  operated  at  the  present 
quarters,  1636  Bryant  Street,  em- 
ploying approximately  one  hundred 
and  fifty  workers.  Growth  of  the 
business  and  of  the  community  de- 
manded expansion,  as  the  local  plant 
will  serve  the  furniture  trade  from 
Bakersfield  north  through  Cali- 
fornia, Oregon  and  Washington. 

Other  factories  operated  by  the 
Kroehler  Company  are  in  Naper- 
ville,  111.,  Binghampton,  N.  Y., 
Kankakee,  111.,  Bradley,  111,,  Dallas, 
Texas,  Los  Angeles,  and  Stratford, 
Ontario. 

Ample  room  has  been  pro\dded  in 
the  local  plans  for  still  further  ex- 
pansion.

ber  of  Commerce  has  urged  the  early 
completion  of  this  road  as  a  vital 
necessity  to  the  entire  state.  It  has 
been  stressed  upon  officials  that  the 
Bay  Shore  Highway  is  designed  to 
take  a  portion  of  the  traffic  pressure 
off  the  main  Peninsula  highway, 
which  has  been  declared  to  be  the 
most  crowded  of  any  in  the  United 
States. 

The  highway,  when  completed  be- 
tween San  Francisco  and  San  Jose, 
will  shorten  the  distance  as  nego- 
tiated by  the  present  highway,  and 
will  make  marketing  in  San  Fran- 
cisco easier  and  likewise  make  dis- 
tribution to  Peninsula  cities  less 
difficult. 

Use  of  the  commercial  artery  by 
the  heavier  veliicles  wUl  greatly 
Ughten  the  traffic  pressure  on  the 
present  route,  which  traverses  the 
scenic  areas  of  the  Peninsula  resi- 
dential sections.

The  Radio  Exposition 


lOCAL  and  national  inter- 
est is  now  being  centered 
c  111  the  Pacific  Radio  Ex- 
position which  will  be 
held  at  the  Civic  Audi- 
torium, August  21  to  28,  inclusive. 
SanFrancisco  is  accorded  the  distinc- 
tion of  producing  the  first  radio  ex- 
position of  the  season  in  the  United 
States.  The  first  showing  of  1927  radio 
receivers  and  accessories  will  be  made 
at  this  exposition. 

From  a  mere  infant,  almost  a 
plaything,  radio  during  the  past 
five  years  has  grown  to  be  the  fifth 
largest  industry  of  this  country.  It 
has  taken  its  place  alongside  elec- 
trical devices  and  other  specialties  as 
a  major  line  of  production  and  dis- 
tribution. Each  year  has  witnessed 
a  big  and  sound  growth.

The  public  has  come  to  look  upon 
radio  receivers  as  a  necessity  com- 
parable with  the  telephone,  the 
piano  and  the  phonograph.  A  perusal 
of  the  daily  programs  broadcast 
from  the  various  stations  of  San 
Francisco  and  elsewhere  shows  the 
great  diversity  of  amusements  and 
pleasures  which  radio  today  fur- 
nishes the  public.  Included  are 
musical  progi-ams  from  jazz  to  sym- 
phony concerts  and  operas;  educa- 
tional talks;  weather,  stock  and 
market  reports;  helpful  hints  to  the 
housewife;  sports;  addresses  by  men 
of  prominence,  even  including  the 
President  of  the  United  States. 

As  time  has  progressed  the  radio 
industry  has  kept  pace,  making  im- 
provements particularly  in  tone 
quality  and  sound  reproduction  until 
today  one  can  sit  in  one's  home  and 
obtain  a  faithful  reproduction  of 
many  events  which  are  daily  trans- 
piring thi-oughout  the  city  and 
country. 

In  view  of  the  strategic  importance 
of  San  Francisco  as  the  logical  dis- 
tributing center  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
and  for  the  Orient,  both  manufac- 
turers and  distributors  are  taking  an 
unusual  interest  in  this  exposition. 
Here  will  be  found  a  most  compre- 
hensive display  of  the  latest  radio 
receivers,  parts  and  accessories  of 
national  and  local  manufacture.  It 
will  be  a  demonstration  of  the  rapid 
progress  of  the  industry.  The  expo- 
sition will  be  on  a  scale  that  will  give 
it  a  place  alongside  the  New  York 
and  Chicago  radio  expositions,  the 
outstanding  market  displays  of  the 
United  States.  Appro.ximately  500 
manufacturers  will  be  represented. 

New  loud  speakers  produced  to 
go  with  the  1927  radio  receivers  wiU 
be  shown  here  for  the  first  time.  The 
combination  of  new  receivers  and 
loud  speakers,  new  tubes,  A  and  B 
eliminators,  battery  chargers,  and 
other  important  accessories  to  give 
the  public  the  maximum  to  be  de- 
sired in  radio  reproduction,  will  be 
exhibited. 

Although  no  radical  changes  are 
to  be  expected  in  the  models  and 
accessories  to  be  shown,  there  wOl 
nevertheless  be  important  improve- 
ments and  refinements  to  mark  the 
progress  and  stability  of  the  indus- 
try. 

A  feature  of  the  show  will  be  the 
first  public  demonstration  on  the 
West  Coast  of  radio's  latest  marvel, 
the  transmission  of  photography.

and  next  month  for  the  fall  semester. 

A  new  classroom  building  is  to  be 
ready  for  occupancy  at  the  San 
Rafael  Militarj-  Academy.  This  is 
the  fifth  building  of  the  larger  school 
plan  completed  within  the  last  year. 

The  new  unit,  which  is  the  same 
Spanish  type  of  architecture  as  the 
other  buildings  on  the  campus,  will 
house  14  classrooms.  In  addition  to 
the  living  quarters  and  the  school 
rooms  the  institution  has  an  indoor 
g>'mnasium,  rifle  range  and  riding 
academy.  Horsemanship  is  a  fea- 
ture of  this  school.  Superintendent 
A.  L.  Stewart  and  his  staff  of  in-

tance of  outdoor  athletics,  under 
special  supervision,  in  the  life  of  the 
growing  boy. 

The  Palo  Alto  Militar>'  Academy, 
exclusively  for  junior  boys.  Miss 
Barker's  School  for  Girls,  at  Palo 
Alto,  and  the  College  of  Notre 
Dame,  at  Belmont,  are  among  the 
Peninsula  schools  that  are  expand- 
ing. Outdoor  life  on  the  Peninsula 
the  year  round  also  is  stressed  by 
its  educational  institutions. 

The  call  of  commerce,  making 
nece-ssary  thorough  training  for  mu- 
sicians in  motion  picture  theaters, 
has  caused  the  Arrillaga  Musical 
College,  in  San  Francisco,  to  install 
its  second  pipe  organ.  This  is  in  a 
special  studio  with  projection  equip- 
ment and  all  organ  acce.ssories,  en- 
abling the  students  to  become  fa- 
miliar with  phases  with  which  they 
will  come  in  contact  in  practical 
work. 

The  Nelson  School  of  Lettering, 
with  its  special  courses  in  commer- 
cial art  and  window  display,  has 
moved  into  larger  quarters  at  583 
Market  Street. 

The  steady  increase  in  the  manu- 
facture of  millinery  and  wearing 
apparel  of  all  types  in  San  Francisco 
and  elsewhere  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
has  brought  a  greater  demand  for 
designers. 

The  Fashion  Art  School,  located 
in  the  Scottish  Rite  Temple,  under 
the  direction  of  Miss  A.  A.  Galla- 
gher, has  five  special  courses  to 
meet  mercantile  requirements. 
These  include  costume  designing, 
pattern  drafting,  millinery  making 
and  designing,  fashion  illustration 
and  advertising  art. 

Among  the  schools  specializing  in 
commercial  coiu-ses,  the  Dorothy 
Durham  School,  during  the  year, 
has  moved  into  more  commodious 
classrooms  at  693  Sutter  Street. 

The  San   Francisco  Law  School 


has  a  much  larger  enrollment  for  the 
current  term  than  a  year  ago. 

Other  private  schools  contribut- 
ing to  the  development  of  the  com- 
raunit5'  are  the  ilunson  School  for

Announces  Arrival  of 

New  A  utomobiles 

THE  new  Buicks  for  1927  are 
now  on  display  in  the  show- 
room of  Howard  Automobile 
Company,  local  Buiek  distributor. 

There  are  sixteen  body  styles, 
mounted  on  chassis  lengths  of  114J^, 
120  and  128  inches.  The  hne  is  made 
up  of  four  sport  type  open  cars  and 
twelve  closed  cars. 

According  to  R.  F.  Thompson, 
general  manager  of  the  Howard 
Company,  the  Buick  engineering 
department  has  developed  a  chassis 
which  is  built  around  Buiek  features 
of  the  past,  but  with  additional  im- 
provements which  are  in  most  cases 
entirely  new  in  the  industry. 

"The  problem  of  period  vibration 
has  been  solved  in  the  new  Buick," 
Mr.  Thompson  said.  "This  is  ac- 
complished by  a  counter-balanced, 
four-bearing  crankshaft  in  combina- 
tion with  light,  cast  iron  pistons,  a 
heavy  flywheel  and  an  exclusive 
Buick  creation  called  the  torsion 
balancer. 

"Counter- weights  are  used  to  keep 
the  crankshaft  from  deflecting.  They 
also  balance  the  shaft  so  perfectly 
that  there  is  no  high  bearing  pres- 
sure or  whipping  out  of  line,  which 
are  the  main  causes  of  engine 
rumble,  noise  and  roughness. 

"Any  crankshaft,  no  matter  how 
scientifically  worked  out,  has  periods 
of  torsional  vibration.  The  torsion 
balancer  absorbs  the  tendency  of 
the  shaft  to  twist  under  the  power 
impulses,  and  deUvers  these  im- 
pulses back  to  the  shaft  after  the 
piston  forces  are  spent.  In  this  man- 
ner it  irons  out  vibration  periods  and 
gives  the  engine  a  smooth  flow  of 
power  throughout  the  speed  range. 
The  hght  pistons  and  heavy  flywheel 
help  obtain  this  result."

For  more  than  half  a  century  the  Humboldt 
Bank  has  gathered  experience  with  the  per' 
sonal  and  business  financial  problems  of  San 
Francisco  people.  Countless  numbers  have 
sought  the  counsel  of  officers  and  received  it. 

Out  of  this  experience  has  come  a  practical 
plan  for  accumulating,  by  easy  stages,  a  safely 
invested  source  of  permanent  income.  We 
call  it  our  Trust  Investment  Savings  Plan. 

Those  interested  in  creating  an  inde- 
pendent estate  will  profit  from  read-

Another  Innovation  in 
Hotel  Con^ruction 

AX  INNOVATION  in  hotel  con- 
/\  struction  in  the  West  is  to  be 
undertaken  at  the  new  Mark 
Hopkins  Hotel  in  San  Francisco  in 
the  finishing  of  the  interior  walls  of 
all  rooms  and  corridors  in  finest  of 
unbleached  musUn.  Fifty  thousand 
yards  of  this  canvasing  material, 
about  one-third  the  yearly  output  of 
the  large  mill  in  Massachusetts 
where  it  is  manufactured,  will  be 
used. 

Work  of  canvasing  the  walls  has 
already  started  and  will  continue  for 
four  months.  More  than  one  hun- 
dred men  will  eventually  be  engaged 
by  the  decorators,  D.  Zelinsky  & 
Sons,  to  finish  the  painting  and  deco- 
rating so  that  the  hostelry  will  be 
ready  for  a  gala  opening  night  on 
December  1  this  year. 

The  order  for  the  unbleached 
muslin  is  the  largest  ever  placed  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  and  the  Mark 
Hopkins  will  be  the  only  large  hotel 
in  the  West  with  rooms  and  corri- 
dors finished  in  this  manner. 

Cost  of  the  splendid  Mark  Hop- 
kins will  total  .54,200,000,  according 
to  George  D.  Smith  of  the  Canter- 
bury Hotel  of  San  Francisco,  owner 
of  the  Mark  Hopkins.  Situated  on 
the  crest  of  Nob  Hill  and  towering 
more  than  a  hundred  feet  above  the 
Fairmont  Hotel,  the  Mark  Hopkins 
commands  an  unexcelled  view  of  San 
Francisco  Bay,  the  Golden  Gate 
with  the  gray  hills  of  Marin  County 
in  the  background,  the  Pacific 
Ocean  and  the  hills  and  dales  of 
Northern  California. 

Brickwork  has  been  completed  on 
the  hotel  and  the  interior  finishing 
is  going  ahead  at  a  rapid  pace.  The 
opening  of  the  Mark  Hopkins  is 
scheduled  to  be  one  of  the  big  events 
of  San  Francisco's  social  season. 
There  will  be  a  pre\'iew  dinner  and 
opening  reception  for  members  of 
the  hotel  fraternity  at  which  hotel 
men  from  all  over  the  United  States 
are  expected  to  be  present.  A  special 
train  will  likely  bring  the  Easterners 
to  San  Francisco  for  the  event. 

The  following  night  there  will  be 
a  formal  dinner  which  will  be  strictly 
invitational. 

Beautiful  mural  decorations  for 
the  ballroom  are  now  being  painted 
by  Maynard  Dixon  and  Frank  Van 
Sloun,  two  of  California's  foremost 
artists.  The  paintings  will  depict  the 
history  of  California,  real  and  alle- 
gorical, down  to  the  days  of  the  early 
American  pioneers.  "The  Lure  of 
California  Gold"  will  be  the  theme 
running  through  the  entire  set  of 
murals.

National  Interest  in 

Pacific  Radio 

Exposition 


tinued  from  page  21  ] 


pictograph,  is  one  of  only  four  in 
service  in  the  world.  The  others  are 
in  Honolulu,  New  York  and  London. 

The  transmission  of  the  average 
photograph  requires  about  forty 
minutes  and  arrangements  are  being 
made  so  that  the  actual  reproduc- 
tion may  be  viewed  by  the  many 
thousands  of  visitors  to  the  exposi- 
tion. It  is  planned  to  send  photo- 
graphs daUy  from  Honolulu  and 
New  York. 

The  doors  of  the  exposition  will 
open  at  7  o'clock  the  evening  of 
Saturday,  August  21,  and  thereafter 
the  show  will  be  open  to  the  public 
daily  from  2  to  5:30  p.  m.,  and  7  to 
11  p.  m. 

It  is  planned  to  make  the  exposi- 
tion one  of  action  from  the  time  the 
doors  open  in  the  afternoon  until 
they  close  at  night.  This  will  be  ac- 
comphshed  through  an  array  of 
daily  special  events  and  through  the 
cooperation  of  the  various  exhibitors 
and  the  local  broadcast  stations. 
Visitors  to  the  exposition  will  be 
given  an  opportunity  of  meeting 
with  their  favorite  artists  of  the  air. 
Outstanding  radio  artists  will  appear 
in  person.  Announcements  of  special 
events  will  be  found  in  the  daily  pro- 
grams throughout  the  duration  of 
the  show  which  wUl  appear  in  the 
newspapers.  Keen  competition  has 
developed  among  the  various  broad- 
casters to  present  the  most  interest- 
ing programs. 

It  is  anticipated  that  many  thou- 
sand \'isitors  throughout  California 
and  the  Pacific  Coast  will  attend. 
The  annual  Pacific  Radio  Exposition 
is  not  merely  a  display  for  the  public 
but  assumes  the  proportions  of 
radio  market  week  for  buyers 
throughout  Northern  and  Central 
California  and  nearby  states. 

More  than  100,000  persons  at- 
tended the  last  two  radio  exposi- 
tions held  in  San  Francisco  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Pacific  Radio 
Trade  Association.  Records  show 
that  of  this  number  40  per  cent  were 
out-of-town  %-isitors. 

A  convention  of  radio  dealers  and 
distributors  will  be  held  in  connec- 
tion with  the  exposition.  More  than 
500  outside  dealers  have  already 
made  reservations  for  this  event.  In 
addition  leaders  of  the  industrj'  from 
distant  parts  will  be  in  attendance. 
Among  these  will  be  A.  T.  Haugh, 
president  of  the  Radio  Manufac- 
turers' Association  and  vice  presi- 


dent of  the  King  Quality  Products 
Company  of  Buffalo,  New  York.  A 
constructive  program  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  radio  will  mark  this 
initial  convention. 

The  exposition  committee  under 
whose  jurisdiction  this  show  has 
been  planned  includes:  Mark  E. 
Smith,  chairman;  W.  E.  Darden,  H. 
W.  Dickow,  Ernest  Ingold,  W.  H.

is  manager  of  this  year's  radio  expo- 
sition.

obtaining  a  certain  amount  of  business  from  new- 
comers if  "tipped  off"  at  the  proper  time.  This

veloping new  business  for  members  of  the  Chamber

new  commercial  and  industrial  enterprises  reported 
to  the  Industrial  Department  of  the  Chamber  of

BOBRICK'S 
GRAVITY  LIQUID  SOAP  SYSTEMS 

provide  sanitary  washroom  service.  This  method  of  dispensing 
liquid  soap  is  the  latest  and  most  improved.  It  is  especially 
adapted  for  use  in  lavatories  having  need  of  two  or  more  dis- 
pensers. 

The  system  consists  of  an  enameled  tank  or  reservoir  from 
which  the  soap  is  conveyed  through  pipes  to  dispensers  placed 
over  each  washstand.  The  reservoir  can  be  installed  in  some 
out-of-the-way  place.  The  pipes  leading  from  it  cany  the 
liquid  by  gravity  to  all  stations.  Any  number  of  dispensers, 
even  on  different  floors,  can  be  supphed  from  one  tank. 

These  Sop-0-zoN  Dispensing  Systems  are  neat,  simple  in 
construction,  and  as  "permanent  as  plumbing."  The  ser\'ice  is  individual  in  character,  satisfactory  to  the 
user  and  economical  for  the  purchaser. 

We  will  gladly  furnish  further  information  on  the  Sop-0-zoN  Gravity  Systems.    Convince  yourself 
by  trying  this  new  dispensing  equipment  in  your  washroom.

SAX  FRAXCISCU  liU.SlNESS,  AUGUST  11.  1926 


c^Market  IVeek^  an  ^8,000,000  Institution 


ARTERING  has  always 
been  a  deep-seated  human 
instinct.  As  civihzation 
advanced,  that  instinct 
Ijrought  its  own  customs ; 
it  built  up  an  ethical  code  and  finally 
found  its  outgrowth  in  a  market 
place.  That  became  the  very  center 
of  community  life. 

On  a  mammoth  scale  that  is  what 
Market  Week  means  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

Established  manj'  years  ago  by  a 
group  of  far-seeing  merchants  who 
bound  themselves  together  in  their 
common  interest  in  an  organization 
which  is  known  today  as  the  Manu- 
facturers and  Wholesalers  Associa- 
tion, Market  Week  was  built  in 
theory  upon  the  tradition  of  the 
market  place.  It  is  the  central  meet- 
ing place  of  a  vast  community  inter- 
laced by  the  facility  of  modern 
travel  and  communication  and  in- 
cluding the  vast  expanse  of  the 
Pacific  Slope  with  its  eleven  states 
and  Western  Canada. 

This  year  the  association  has  an- 
nounced that  Market  Week  will  be 
held  from  August  23  until  August 
28,  inclusively.  It  will  be  a  bigger 
and  a  better  event  than  has  ever 
been  held  in  the  city  before.  Secre- 
tary H.  J.  Lawrence  has  estimated 
that  not  less  than  10,000  merchants 
and  their  authorized  buyers  will 
make  the  mercantile  pilgrimage  and 
that  orders  estimated  at  88,000,000 
or  §9,000,000  will  be  placed,  within 
the  six  days  devoted  to  selling. 

Although  Gargantuan  in  its  plan, 
nevertheless  much  of  the  simpheitj- 
of  the  old  market  place  will  be  re- 
tained in  spirit.  There  will  be  the 
old,  tried  friends  of  San  Francisco's 
merchants  who  have  come  year  after 
year  and  who  will  return  again  to 
restock  the  empty  shelves  of  their 
estabUshments,  to  freshen  them- 
selves by  contact  with  their  feUow 
merchants,  gain  new  ideas  and  have 
a  pleasant  "dish  of  gossip."  They 
will  find  time  to  transact  the  busi- 
ness which  brings  them,  to  make  a 
survey  of  market  conditions  and 
gain  a  forecast  of  the  nexi:  season's

styles  which  will  stand  them  in  good 
stead  in  the  months  to  come,  but 
they  will  find  time  too  for  play. 

"Then  there  are  the  new  visitors 
who  are  attracted  every  year  by 
word  of  the  new  mercantile  center. 
They  will  come  to  see  and  inevitable* 
they  will  buy  and  come  again. 

That  is  the  true  value  of  Market 
Week  to  San  Francisco,  a  value  far 
beyond  that  contained  in  the  dollars 
and  cents  of  the  business  transacted 
within  its  six  days.  Those  who  come 
once,  come  again.They  are  attracted 
by  special  inducements  but  they  are 


convinced  by  the  actual  visual  proof

Territorial  Fair  Tour 

on  Big  Matson  Liner 

Starts  Sept.  15 

MUCH  interest  is  being  taken 
by  the  business  men  of  San 
Francisco  and  Oakland  in 
the  coming  Territorial  Fair  tour 
which  will  leave  San  Francisco 
September  15  aboard  the  Matson 
liner  Maui  under  the  auspices  of 
Crabtree's  Travel  Office. 

This  tour  is  for  the  purpose  of 
enabUng  business  men  of  the  Bay 
Region  to  meet  the  merchants  and 
wholesale  dealers  of  the  Hawaiian 
Islands  at  the  1926  Territorial  Fair, 
which  will  be  held  in  Honolulu 
September  25th  to  October  2nd  at 
the  Fair  Grounds  in  beautiful  Kapio- 
lani  Park  at  Waikiki. 

"The  forthcoming  tour  is  an  un- 
usual opportunity  to  meet  the  busi- 
ness men  of  Hawaii,  to  demonstrate 
San  Francisco  and  Oakland  mer- 
chandise at  the  fair  and  to  establish 
trade  connections  of  lasting  value," 
said  W.  H.  Sellander,  passenger 
traffic  manager  of  the  Matson  Line, 
this  week  just  before  his  departure 
for  Honolulu  to  arrange  details  of 
the  entertainment  program. 

"Many  products  are  being  shipped 
to  Hawaii  in  increasingly  large 
volume  from  other  ports  than  San 
Francisco  and  if  the  merchants  of 
this  region  will  go  to  Honolulu  and 
meet  the  merchants  of  Hawaii  they 
can  best  participate  in  this][trade  to 
the  islands  thi-ough  personal  contact 
made  at  the  fair.  Products  which 
should  be  sold  in  larger  volume  by 
San  Francisco  to  the  Hawaiian 
Islands    include    auto    accessories.

SAN  FRANCISCO 

PORTLAND  LOS  ANGELES  OAKLAND 


Francisco  in  their  minds  for  the 
future. 

Those  are  the  elements  of  Market 
Week.  This  year  the  eleventh  is  to 
be  celebrated. 

It  is  no  longer  a  mercantile  experi- 
ment. In  its  annual  repetitions  it  has 
established  San  Francisco  as  the 
logical  market  place  of  the  entire 
West,  one  affording  the  most  ex-ten- 
sive mercantile  pri\-i]eges  west  of 
the  Mississippi.  Merchants  have 
been  brought  to  realize  that  this 
way  lies  prosperity,  that  in  San 
Francisco's  wholesale  establishments 
they  will  find  the  solution  of  the  old 
bugljear  of  overstocking.  Such  is  no 
longer  necessarj';  it  is  too  easy  to 
reach  a  nearby  market  for  replenish- 
ments upon  wliich  rapid  delivery  is 
assured  b)'  close  geographical  prox- 
imity and  excellent  means  of  trans- 
portation. 

Market  Week  gives  the  keynote 
for  the  year's  shopping.  Advance 
styles  are  displayed  in  all  lines  and 
as  the  months  roll  along  merchants 
are  no  longer  dependent  upon  the 
sample  and  the  advance  advertising. 
They  will  have  been  to  see,  and  they 
will  know  for  themselves. 

That  is  the  serious,  business-man 
side  of  Market  Week.  There  will  be 
another  and  a  gaj'er  side  with 
tumultuous  play  hours  in  which 
visitors  and  hosts  will  join  alike. 

E.  J.  Fei.sel  as  chairman  of  the 
entertainment  committee  has  se- 
lected the  Palace  Hotel  as  the  scene 
of  the  dail)'  luncheons  to  be  held 
during  the  first  four  days  and  which 
are  planned  to  be  the  breathing  spot 
of  the  day  where  business  will  be 
forgotten  for  an  hour. 

On  Monday  night  the  Jinx  will  be 
held  at  the  Commercial  Club.  That 
will  be  the  big  stag  event  of  the  year 
and  a  hearty  welcome  is  planned 
for  every  man  among  the  visitors 
The  program  has  not  been  an- 
nounced but  enough  has  filtered 
from  the  secrecy  of  the  committee 
room  to  indicate  a  spectacular  and 
diverting  entertainment. 

Tuesday,  those  of  the  visitors 
who  so  desire  may  witness  the  early- 
morning  yacht  races  off  the  Marina 
which  are  to  be  a  part  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Championship  Yachting  Re- 
gatta and  will  give  the  spectators 
from  the  inland  cities  a  vision  of 
what  life  by  the  Golden  Gate  is. 
Luncheon  will  be  held  at  the  Palace. 

The  dinner  dance  to  be  held  in  the 
Fairmont  Hotel  on  Wednesday  night 
and  for  which  every  ballroom  in  the 
huge  hostelry  has  been  engaged  will 
be  the  grand  climax  of  the  week's 
entertainment  and  will  give  the  out- 
of-town  guests  a  true  glimpse  of  San 
Francisco's  lavish  hospitality.

200  Yachts  Here  for  Regatta 


lAX  FRAXCISCO,  recog- 

'OJ       nizecl    as    one    of    the 

world's  greatest  ports,  is 

\i^.J  being  advertised  this 
I  week  as  having  one  of 
hiiist  liodies  of  pleasure  waters 
to  be  found  anywhere. 

The  fourth  annual  Pacific  Coast 
Championship  Yachting  Regatta 
has  attracted  not  only  the  repre- 
sentatives of  all  the  yacht  clubs  of 
the  coast,  from  British  Columbia  to 
Mexico,  but  the  United  States  Fleet 
of  70  ships,  which  will  be  an  active 
participant  in  the  week-long  pro- 
gram of  water  sports. 

A  citizens'  committee,  headed  by 
many  of  the  leaders  of  the  local  yacht 
clubs,  has  been  organizing  a  hospi- 
tality program  commensurate  with 
the  importance  of  the  occasion. 
Market  Street  and  Van  Ness  Ave- 
nue are  to  be  decorated.  There  will 
be  fireworks  and  band  concerts  on 
the  Marina,  harking  back  to  the 
colorful  days  of  the  exposition  in 
1915.  The  Ferry  BuUding,  the  City 
Hall  and  the  entire  water  front  are  to 
be  put  in  gala  attire. 

It  is  to  be  a  big  week  in  which  San 
Francisco  will  not  boast  of  its  ton- 
nage, but  of  its  miles  and  miles  of 
inland  waterways  capable  of  staging 
any  kind  of  yachting  or  motor  boat 
events  any  time  of  the  year.  Admiral 
Robison  is  Ijringing  some  70  ships, 
thus  giving  the  stamp  of  endorse- 
ment by  the  Navy  to  one  of  Ameri- 
ca's premier  yachting  events  of  the 
year.  The  battleships  will  compete 
off  the  Marina  for  the  perpetual 
challenge  trophy  offered  by  the 
Olympic  Club.  There  will  be  many 
other  Xavy  events,  however,  with 
every  promise  of  the  fleet  joining 
hand  in  hand  with  San  Francisco  to 
exploit  the  attractiveness  of  water 
sports  in  a  way  that  this  city  has 
never  before  enjoyed. 

It  is  estimated  that  some  200 
yachts  and  motor  boats  from  all 
along  the  coast  will  participate  in 
the  racing  events  and  water  pageant. 

The  regatta  starts  Saturday  and 
continues  through  until  the  end  of 


ENDORSEMENT  COUNCIL 
REPORT 

The  San  Franci.spo  Kndorsement 
Ccuncil  has  agreed  up  )n  the  follow- 
ing general  principle: 

1.  "Existing  regular  civic  organi- 
zations deriving  their  support 
from  regular  memberships:  antl 
.solicit  ing  for  new  memberships 
shall  not  he  considered  for  en- 
dorsement by  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Endorsement  Coimcil.'" 

In  accordance  with  this  principle 
the  Council  ha.s  determined  that 
t  he  Convention  and  Tourist  League 
of  San  Francisco  is  an  existing  regu- 
lar civic  organization  and  that 
therefore  its  campaign  for  increas- 
ed tnemhershiiJs  to  be  held  in  this 
community  from  .\ugust  20th  to 
2.5th  is  not  subject  to  endorsement. 

1.  The  Council  desires  to  call  the 
attention  of  the  -Xssociate 
Members  to  the  undesirability 
of  any  solicitation  of  funds 
over  the  telephone  and  urges 
that  appeals  so  made  be  dis- 
regarded. 
The  following  action  was  taken 

bv  the  Coimcil,  at  ils  meptingon 

.\ugust  10th: 

1.  Street  Traffic  Survey.  En- 
dorsed. 

(.\  campaign  to  raise  -S2.5,000 
among  the  commercial  inter- 
ests directly  interested  in 
street  traffic,  for  a  survey  that 
will  lay  the  basis  for  a  sotmd 
program  of  handling  street 
traffic  conditions.) 

2.  Californians,  Inc.  Endorsed. 
'.\  campaign  for  $403,000  in 
San  Francisco,  to  continue  the 
community  advertising  pro- 
grain  carried  on  for  the  i)ast 
three  years. ) 


the  following  week.  The  big  cham- 
pionship event  will  take  place  Satur- 
day. On  the  following  day  there  is 
to  be  a  par.ade  of  yachts,  motor  boats 
and  other  craft  attracted  here  for  the 
regatta,  that  as  a  water  pageant  will 
surpass  anything  of  its  kind  ever 
witnessed,  it  is  said. 

The  various  yacht  clubs  in  and 
around  San  Francisco  will  be  hospi- 
tality centers  throughout  the  week. 


ItDahlia  Show 

By  Curtis  Relfekn 

\X  FRA.XCISCO  is  to 
hoste-ss  during  the 
"k  of  August  23d  to 
2St  h  to  thousands  of  out- 
-tciwn  visitors  attend- 
ing .M:irkct  Week  of  the  Dry  Goods 
Industry  and  also  the  Third  Radio 
Exposition.  It  is  a  fortunate  co- 
incidence that  the  Eleventh  Annual 
Show  of  the  Dahlia  Society  of  Cali- 
fornia will  be  held  Thursday,  Friday 
and  Saturday  of  the  same  week  at 
the  Palace  Hotel, 

San  Francisco  has  become  famous 
the  world  over  for  the  fine  quality  of 
its  dahlias  and  other  flowers  and  the 
visitors  will  have  an  opp<jrtunity  to 
see  for  themselves  that  our  reputa- 
tion has  been  well  earned. 

The  World's  Largest  Show 

(jur  Dahlia  Show  is  the  largest 
special-flower  show  in  the  world  and 
without  doubt  it  is  the  most  spectac- 
ular, for  the  local  exhibitors  have 
been  weaned  from  the  old-fashioned 
milk-bottle  display  habit  and  now 
.show  their  flowers  on  long  stems  in 
baskets  and  vases.  It  is  a  feast  for 
the  eyes. 

It  is  difficult  to  realize  that  the 
mammoth  flowers  originated  by  sev- 
eral of  our  local  hybridizers  all  trace 
their  ancestry  to  a  small  single  daisy 
type  of  flower  growing  in  the  moun- 
tain regions  of  Central  Mexico. 

The  advertising  value  to  a  city  in 
adopting  some  variety  of  flower  as 
its  City  Flower,  as  has  been  done  by 
Portland  with  the  rose,  Rochester 
with  the  gladiolus,  etc.,  has  been 
well  proved.  San  Franciscans  might 
look  upon  the  dahlia  as  their  city 
flower  for  it  grows  to  perfection  here, 
our  mild  summer  weather  approxi- 
mating the  cool  moist  climate  of  the 
mountain  plateau  region  south  of 
Mexico  City,  the  native  habitat  of 
the  dahlia.

NEW  INDUSTRIES 

UNITED  ,^T.ATi:.S  RADIATOR 
COMPANY,  640  Second  Street.  A 
few  months  ago,  the  United  States 
Radiator  Company  decided  upon 
San  Francisco  a.s  the  logical  distri- 
bution center  of  its  steam  and  hot 
water  radiators  and  boilers  for 
heating  plants  for  the  entire  Stat« 
of  California,  Utah  and  Arizona. 

This  large  factory  branch  is  now 
occupying  a  three-story  building  at 
640  Second  Street,  which  takes 
care  of  assembling  and  warehousing 
of  the  company's  products. 

San  Franci.sco  was  decided  upon 
after  a  careful  study  of  the  other 
distribution  centers,  as  being  the 
most  logical  center  to  serve  the  re- 
quired territory'. 

•  KERITE  INSULATED  WIRE 
&  CABLE  COMPANY,  418  Mat- 
son  Building,  have  recently  opened 
offices  in  San  Francisco  to  serve 
the  Pacific  Coast.  The  headquar- 
ters of  the  Kerite  Company  are  in 
New  Y'ork  City  with  plant  at  Sey- 
mour, Connecticut.  The  principal 
products  manufactured  which  will 
be  sold  from  the  San  Francisco 
office  are  insulated  wire  and  cable. 

EXPANSIONS 

CALIFORNIA  STEEL  PROD- 
UCTS COMPANY,  452  Bay  Street, 
have  changed  their  plans  and  have 
acquired  60,000  square  feet  of  land 
adjoining  their  present  property 
and  will  remain  in  San  Francisco. 
Several  weeks  ago  tliis  company 
bought  land  in  Oakland  for  the 
purpose  of  putting  up  a  new  plant 
owing  to  the  fact  that  room  for  ex- 
pansion was  unobtainable.  Later

just  completed  a  830,000  warehouse 
building  to  serve  as  storage  space

TERRITORIAL  FAIR  TO  BE 
GREATEST  EVER 

Preparations  for  the  coming 
Hawaiian  Fair — September  25  to 
October  2 — are  going  forward 
with  reassuring  speed,  and  from 
all  present  indications  this  sea- 
son will  be  the  biggest  and  best 
in  its  history. 

The  Fair  will  be  held  in  the 
beau  tifu!70-acrefiur  grounds  on 
Kapahulu  Road,  half  a  mile 
from  Kapiolani  Park,  the  polo 
grounds,  and  only  three  quar- 
ters of  a  mile  from  famous 
Waikiki  beach. 

The  people,  through  the  gov- 
ernment, own  and  operate  this 
fair,  hence  they  will  be  served 
with  the  best  in  everything. 
There  will  be  all  manner  of 
accommodations  including  an 
American  cafe,  Oriental  restau- 
rant, telephones,  radio  service, 
rest  rooms,  fire,  police  and 
hospital  protection,  bank,  nurs- 
ery, religious  and  club  rooms, 
etc. 

The  aim  of  the  Fair  commis- 
sion is  to  make  the  annual 
Hawaiian  fair  a  general  event  in 
the  hearts  and  lives  of  the 
people  as  well  as  a  golden  oppor- 
tunity for  merchants  and  busi- 
ness men  to  establish  and  main- 
tain closer  contact  with  their 
neighbors.

Taxicab  Color  Schemes  To  Be  Regulated 

THE  Police  Commission,  at  the 
suggestion  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  has  decreed  that 
independent  operators  of  taxicabs 
in  San  Francisco  may  no  longer  imi- 
tate the  colors,  uniforms  and  other 
distinguishing  marks  of  standard- 
ized services  representing  larger  in- 
vestments and  operating  in  strict 
accordance  with  city  ordinances. 

The  action  of  the  Commission  at 
its  meeting  on  Monday  night  of  this 
week  was  in  response  to  the  follow- 
ing letter  from  President  Clav  Miller: 

"On  frequent  occasions  the  San 
Francisco  Chamlier  of  Commerce 
has  given  attention  to  the  taxicab 
conditions  in  this  city.  Oiu'  under- 
standing is  that  all  matters  pertain- 
ing to  the  regulation  of  taxicabs  in 
San  Francisco  are  within  the  juris- 
diction of  the  Police  Commission. 

"Tliere  are  a  number  of  companies 
operating  taxicabs  in  San  Francisco 
in  strict  accordance  with  the  city 
ordinances  and  are  performing  a 
very  useful  service  in  the  commun- 
ity. Such  companies  have  a  large 
investment  and  from  our  investiga- 
tions are  endeavoring  to  develop  the 
taxicab  business  in  San  Francisco 
in  a  legitimate  and  proper  manner. 

"On  the  other  hand,  there  are  in- 
dividuals and  groups  operating  taxi- 
cabs  in  such  a  manner  as  brings  dis- 
credit to  San  Francisco  and  creates  a 
very  unfavorable  impression  upon 
visitors  and  others  who  use  them. 
This  confusion  and  discredit  is 
brought  abovit  by  the  imitation  of 
legitimate  operators  in  color  schemes, 
hat  bands  and  other  devices. 

"Our  opinion  is  that  the  color 
schemes  of  the  legitimate  companies 
which  have  been  adopted  and  are 
generally  known  to  represent  a 
proper  policy  of  such  companies 
should  not  be  illegitimately  imi- 
tated, and  inasmuch  as  the  color 
schemes  and  distinguishing  insignia 
are  within  the  control  of  the  Board 
of  PoUce  Commissioners  that  the 
Police  Commission  should  exert 
their  full  authority  not  only  for  the 
piotection  of  visitors  and  others  using 
taxicabs  but  for  the  protection  of 
those  organizations  which  have  made 
large  investments  and  are  properly 
operating  their  businesses. 


"At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce,  held  on  August 
19th,  a  resolution  was  adopted  re- 
ciuesting  the  Board  of  Police  Com- 
missioners and  all  others  in  authority 
to  compel  the  observance  of  the  city 
ordinances  regulating  the  operating 
of  taxicabs  to  the  end  that  the 
pubUc  of  San  Francisco  be  protected 
and  that  the  legitimate  companies 
operating  within  the  ordinances  of 
the  city  be  not  injured  by  mislead- 
ing use  of  color  schemes  and  insignia 
on  the  part  of  drivers  and  operators 
in  no  way  cormected  with  the  or- 
ganizations entitled  to  the  insignia 
and  color  adopted,  and.  .geoerally 
known.         ,  _ 

"In  accordance  with  ihi.s  resolu- 
tion, maj'  we  request  tliat  immediate 
and  "ftrfl-  attention  be  given  to  this 
matter  and  that  the  coloi  scheme  of 
all  cabs  and  the  insignia  of  drivers 
be  such  that  no  confusion  may  be 
possible."  -OOTXSK 


NEW  INDUSTRIES 

THE  AMERICAN  PAULIN 
SYSTEM,  INC. .Standard Oil  Build- 
ing, is  another  new  industry  secured 
for  San  Francisco.  This  concern 
makes  Altimeters,  which  measure 
changes  in  elevation  with,  greater 
speed  and  accuracy  than  any  other 
similar  instrument,  according  to  H. 
E.  Linden,  vice  president  and  general 
manager.  This  new  industry  will 
occupy  about  one-half  of  the  new, 
three-story  $60,000  building  being 
erected  on  the  northwest  corner  of 
First  and  Folsom  streets,  and  to  be 
completed  by  November  1.5,  where 
altimeters  will  be  manufactured,  and 
from  which  distribution  will  be  made 
to  the  Western  Hemisphere.  This 
company  has  secured  the  rights  for 
the  parent  company  in  Sweden  for 
this  territory.  George  H.  Eberhard 
is  president  of  the  American  Paulin 
System,  and  the  George  H.  Eber- 
hard Company,  manufacturers' 
agents  for  Ingersol  .watches.  Water- 
bury  clocks.  Gem  safety  razors,  etc., 
will  occupy  the  other  half  of  the 
building. 

GOLDEN  WEST  PRODUCTS 
COMPANY,  3220  Fillmore  Street, 
has  recently  opened  a  plant  to  can 
artichokes  in  olive  oil.  These  are  put 
up  in  4-,  8-  and  16-oz.  bottles  and  1- 
gailon  cans.  New  industries  of  this 
type  are  assisting  the  artichoke 
growers  by  taking  care  of  the  excess 
crop. 

ATLAS  SPECIALTY  COM- 
PANY', 14  Otis  Street,  occupying 
three  floors,  have  recently  opened  a 
factory  for  the  manufacture  and  dis- 
tribution of  their  new  "Superfine" 
table  covers  that  need  no  launder- 
jng.  The  material  out  of  which  this 
article  is  manufactured  is  a  DuPont 
product  which  is  embossed  and 
finished  in  this  factory.  It  has  the 
appearance  of  linen,  the  corners  of 
which   are   embossed   with    flower-

SUMMARY   of  WORLD  MARKET  CONDITIONS 

<^ased  upon  Cables  and  Other  "Reports  received  in  the  'Department  of  Commerce 


CANADA 

Wholesale  and  retail  trade  e.mditinns 
continue  sntisfaetnry.  and  colleelions  are 
fair.  Wholesale  prices  rose  very  sliEhtly 
during  Julv.  and  there  was  an  average 
advance  of  1  pi-r  cent  in  retail  prices  of 
fortv-six  food  products.  Prices  of  non- 
ferrous  metals  are  somewhat  higher.  The 
percentage  of  einployinenl  continues  high, 
especially  in  the  automotive  industry. 
Loadings'  of  revenue  freight  during  the 
week  ended  Julv  :il  exceeded  the  previous 
weeks  total  In-  in..ri-  than  2. UK)  cars. 

The  index  nuiiilier  of  the  twenty-five 
best  selling  industrial  and  pulilic  utilitv 
common  stocks  on  the  Montreal  and 
Toronto  exchanges  rose  5.S  pomis  to  a 
new  high  level  of  1S7.5  during  the  first 
week  of  August.  The  value  of  trade  with 
the  I'nited  States  during  June  exceeded 
SIOO.OOO.OOO,  with  imports  slightly  above 
J62.000,0(KI  anil  exports  somewhat  over 
$3S.aK).(KX).  The  import  figure  represents 
an  increase  of  nearlv  S3,00(),IKX)  over  im- 
ports from  the  Initcd  States  during  May. 
The  Dominion  C.ovemmcnt  estimate  of 
August  10  places  the  probable  yield  of 
wheal  at  31(1.000,000  bushels,  as  compared 
with  the  July  12  estimate  of  :{4S,62(i,000 
bushels. 

GREAT  BRITAIN 

Notwithstmiiling  endorsement  by  their 
executive  committee,  the  miners  have 
voted  against  acceptance  of  the  basis-of- 
gettlemcnt  proposals  of  the  Industrial 
Christian  I''ellowshii>s,  and,  hence,  an- 
other meeting  of  miners'  delegates  has 
been  called  t<i  determine  the  future  policy 
of  the  miners  in  the  controversy.  Only 
about  12,000  workers  are  on  duty  at  the 
coal  pits.  About  1,000.000  tons  of  coal 
were  inportcd  during  July,  as  compared 
with  600,034  tons  during  June,  and  3,01.S 
tons  during  May.  The  unemploj-ment 
figure  on  .\ugust  2.  exclusive  of  disagree- 
ing coal  miners,  stood  at  1,618.800  and 
represented  an  increase  of  13,300  from  the 
tinemployment  register  total  for  July  26. 

THE  NETHERLANDS 

Industry  and  trade  in  The  Netherlands 
during  June  showed  seasonal  dullness. 
The  important  commodity  markets  have 
been  awaiting  crop  results  in  the  various 
exporting  countries.  Retail  sales  have 
been  especially  affected.  The  major 
harvests  in  The  Netherlands  are  slightly 
above  the  average  for  the  last  ten  years. 
Great  activity  has  prevailed  in  the  port  of 
Rotterdam.  Due  to  insufficient  berthing 
space  many  vessels  have  been  obliged  to 
wait  outside  the  harbor.  Coal  traders 
report  the  signature  of  long-term  con- 
tracts with  new  clients,  especially  in  the 
Scandinavian  countries.  The  situation  of 
The  Netherlands'  bank  is  slightly 
stronger  with  little  demand  for  credit 
facilities.  Money  rates  are  easy  but 
closed  with  an  upward  tendency.  Whole- 
sale prices  are  low  but  the  foreign  trade 
tendency  continues  to  be  unfavorable. 
Conditions  in  the  cotton  textile  industry 
are  still  unsatisfactory,  while  the  leather 
industry  shows  improvement . 

BELGIUM 

The  forced  consolidation  as  of  4,000.- 
(XK),000  francs  in  Treasury  bills  and  1,- 
800,000,000  francs  in  five-year  bonds  has 
been  favorably  received.  "The  special  dis- 
pensation which  has  been  promised  to 
credit  institutions  has  instilled  confidence 


and  has  resulted  in  the  repatriati 
capital  and  a  coji.><equent  20  iier  cent  iin- 
proveincnt  in  the  exchange.  Important 
new  legislation  passed  includes  the  doub- 
ling of  the  hctel  tax  to  20  per  cent  for 
citizens  of  high-exchange  countries,  in- 
cluding the  I'nited  States,  Knglan.l  and 
Germany.  The  2  per  cent  tax  afTecting 
transportation  contracts,  gas  and  elec- 
tricitv  bills  and  rent  and  movable  prop- 
erty, which  was  voted  in  June  becaine 
effective  .-August  1.  The  Government  is 
considering  the  limitatitn  of  domestic 
sales  of  gasoline  and  the  reduction  of 
govcmmeiit  employees  to  the  pre-war 
number.  The  Government  through  the 
National  Bank  has  taken  advantage  of 
the  franc  appreciation  to  purchase  ex- 
change to  be  used  toward  covering  the 
$50,000,000  foreign  floating  debt. 

FRANCE 
Optimism  in  commercial  centers  is 
somewhat  shadowed  by  the  August  16 
increase  in  transportation  rates,  amount- 
ing to  30  per  cent  for  passengers,  2S  per 
cent  for  fast  freight  and  24  jx-r  cent  for 
slow  freight,  by  the  continuance  of  price 
increases,  and  by  the  effects  of  the  higher 
discount  rate.  I'rices  are  adjusting  them- 
selves more  rapidly  than  heretofore  to  the 
fall  of  the  franc. 

GERMANY 
There  was  a  continued  current  of  opti- 
mism throughout  Germany  during  the  past 
month  regarding  the  business  situation. 
Official  statements  of  the  Labor  Ministry 
show  that  unemployment  was  reduced  by 
89,000  during  July,  leaving  a  total  of  1.- 
645,000  persons  now  receiving  government 
assistance.  Some  improvement  was  noted 
in  certain  basic  industries  with  the  July 
production  of  pig  iron  exceeding  that  of 
June  by  7  per  cent.  There  has  also  been  a 
notable  increase  in  Russian  orders  under 
the  provisions  of  the  300.000.000  mark 
government  guarantee  credit.  Orders 
under  this  arrangement  now  total  40,(XX),- 
000  marks  and  are  divided  among  machine 
tools,  mining  machinery,  agricultural  ma- 
chinery, automobiles,  and  electrical 
goods. 

CZECHOSLOVAKIA 
A  preliminary  meeting  was  held  in 
\ienna  on  July  29  for  negotiations  be- 
tween Czechoslovakia  and  Ifungary  with 
a  view  to  concluding  a  commercial  treaty. 
Meanwhile  Czechoslovakia  has  extended 
until  August  31  the  period  of  minimum 
duties  on  Hungarian  grain  and  flour. 
Canada  has  requested  the  same  conces- 
sion but  no  action  has  yet  been  takeii. 
Czech  crop  harvesting  fias  begun  but  it  is 
indicated  locally  that  the  grain  will  be 
inferior  and  the  quantity  below  normal  as 
a  result  of  adverse  weather  conditions. 

ITALY 

The  scarcity  of  capital  for  financing 
the  industrial  needs  of  the  country  con- 
tinues to  be  a  principal  point  of  difficulty 
in  the  Italian  situation.  The  Milan  money 
market  has  been  especially  tight.  Recent 
reports  from  Genoa  indicate  a  slight  eas- 
ing up  in  financial  stringency  there  on 
account  of  a  lower  speculative  activity  on 
the  bourse.  Wholesale  prices  in  Italy  con- 
tinue to  rise  as  is  indicated  by  the  Nlilan 
index  for  July,  standing  at  676.73,  with 
vegetable  foodstuffs,  minerals  and  metals 
indices  the  highest  on  record. 


SPAIN 

Spanish  import  and  csii.iri  figures  for 
the  first  three  months  of  l!l2»i  show  an  in- 
crease of  apprcximaiely  S.i  OOO.OtXIp-sctag 
in  .Spain's  importation  over  the  c<  rre- 
sponding  period  of  1925.  and  an  increase  in 
exportation  cf  35,000.0(X)  pesetas.  During 
the  1926 period  Spanish  importation  had  a 
total  value  of  624,4"8,5li7  pesetas,  and 
exportation  of  473,481,358  pesetas-. 

FINLAND 

The  only  change  in  business  conditions 
in  Finland  towards  the  end  of  July  was  a 
slight  easing  in  the  money  market.  The 
crop  outlook  is  reported  in  Finland  to  be 
satisfactory  and  the  recent  recovery  in 
trade  is  expected  to  improve  the  situation 
within  the  next  few  months. 

LATVIA 
An  English  purchase  of  500.000  tons  of 
Polish  coal  for  immediate  use.  which  it  is 
impossible  to  handle  entirely  through 
Danzig  has  diverted  200.000  tons  to  the 
port  of  Riga.  A  noticeable  decline  in  pro- 
tested notes  occurred  during  July  result- 
ing principally  from  the  adoption  by  the 
credit  institutions  of  a  more  cautious 
policy  in  granting  new  credits. 

DENMARK 

Danish  crop  reports  are  optimistic  re- 
garding the  current  year's  harvest,  but 
agricultural  production  in  other  lines, 
especially  bacon  and  butter,  seems  to  be 
on  the  decline  and  exports  of  these  prod- 
ucts during  the  first  three  weeks  of  July 
were  considerably  less  than  during  the 
corresponding  period  in  June.  This  de- 
velopment though  largely  seasonal,  is 
more  pronounced  than  usual  due  to  a  great 
extent  to  the  prevalence  of  hoof-and- 
moutb  disease. 

POLAND 

The  improvement  in  the  Polish  finan- 
cial and  general  economic  conditions 
which  began  in  June  assumed  a  more 
definite  aspect  during  the  month  of  July. 
Stal  ilization  of  the  government  has  had  a 
rea.ssuring  effect  upon  the  business  ele- 
ments of  the  country.  The  foreign  trade 
balance  continues  favorable,  coal  exports 
having  reached  a  record  figure  largely  on 
account  of  the  British  ccal  strike. 

JAPAN 

Fears  in  regard  to  this  year's  rice  crop 
in  Japan  have  been  dispelled  bj'  favorable 
conditions  obtaining  during  the  past 
week.  In  consequence  prices  on  the  Tokyo 
rice  market  are  declining.  It  is  reported 
in  Japan  that  the  silk  conditioning  law, 
which  has  been  under  consideration  for 
the  past  vear.  is  likelv  to  take  effect  on 
January  l",  1927. 

CHINA 

Business  in  North  China  continues  to  be 
adversely  affected  by  undertainty  in 
regard  to  political  develop  "nts.  TThe 
fighting  in  the  neighborhoi  Peking 

continues    without    decisiv  alts.    In 

consequence  the  Peking-Si  on  Railway 
is  still  closed  to  all  traffic.  Despite  the  un- 
favorable conditions  some  business  is 
being  done  in  North  China  in  motcr  cars, 
electrical  equipment  and  railway  supplies. 

Declared  exports  from  Shanghai  to  the 
United  States  during  the  first  seven 
months  of  this  vear  totaled  $34,812,000 
compared  with  $32,382,000  for  the  same 
period  last  year.

Number  8 


Chamber  Endorses  Ic  Gas  Tax 


[IHE  proposed  one  cent 
gasoline  tax  increase 
measure  which  will  ap- 
pear on  the  November 
ballot  as  Proposition  No. 
4  has  been  unanimously  endorsed  by 
the  directors  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  This  meas- 
ure provides  for  a  one-cent  gasoline 
tax,  the  net  proceeds  of  which  are  to 
be  used  to  complete  the  California 
state  highway  system.  It  is  esti- 
mated that  this  will  raise,  through  a 
period  of  ten  years,  approximately 
ten  million  dollars  per  annum,  a 
sufficient  but  necessary  amount  of 
money  to  complete  California's  sys- 
tem of  state  roads  within  that  time. 
The  Chamber  directors  at  a 
previous  meeting  decided  to  oppose 
Proposition  No.  8  on  the  November 
ballot  which  provides  another 
method  of  raising  funds  for  highway 
construction.  Measure  No.  8  pro- 
vides for  an  amiual  appropriation  of 
five  million  dollars  from  the  State 
treasury  and  it  was  the  conclusion  of 
the  board  that  this  annual  appro- 
pi  iation,  with  no  particular  source 
of  revenue  to  support  it  but  coming 
out  of  the  State  treasury,  therefore 
out  of  the  general  funds,  could  not 
be  made  without  disturbing  our 
state  tax  system,  wliich  would  mean 
either  a  revision  of  the  King  Tax  up- 
ward or  a  levying  of  an  ad  valorem 
tax  on  the  state.  The  disapproved 
Proposition  No.  8  is  sectional  in 
character,  inequitable  in  the  mamier 
of  the  distribution  of  the  funds  and 
would  divert  money  into  the  south- 
ern part  of  the  state  which  right- 
fully belongs  to  the  section  north  of 
the  Tehachapi. 

The  position  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  that  the  highway  sy.s- 
tem  should  be  completed  at  the 
earliest  possible  time,  and  it  believes 
that  the  proposed  gasohne  tax  in- 
crease. Proposition  No.  4  which  was 
approved,  is  the  most  equitable 
method  of  doing  it. 

Following  is  the  resolution 
adopted  by  the  Chamber: 


SAFETY  WEEK 

THIS  is  Safety  Week  in 
San  Francisco.  Automo- 
biles and  street  cars  carry 
signs  emphasizing  the  impor- 
tance of  protecting  human  life. 
Stickers  on  windshields  urge 
drivers  to  be  careful.  Men  of 
national  prominence  are  here 
to  address  safety  councils: 
men  who  have  devoted  years 
to  the  study  of  accident  pre- 
vention. Among  them,  W.  H. 
Cameron  and  E.  G.  Sanford  of 
Chicago,  J.  B.  Gibson  of  New 
York  and  Judge  D.  J.  Parker 
of  Pittsburgh. 

"Safety  Week"  is  the  an- 
tithesis of  "Say  It  With 
Flowers  Week,"  and  while  the 
gentleman  who  initiated 
"Father's  Day"  contributed  a 
very  beautiful  and  sentimental 
note  to  the  symphony  of 
human  progress,  the  one  who 
contrives  to  keep  father  with 
us  a  little  while  longer  is  de- 
serving at  least  of  our  undi- 
vided attention. 

And  so  it  behooves  us  aU  to 
give  serious  thought  to  this 
Safety  Week,  to  walk  and  to 
drive  when  the  whistle  blows 
and  to  try  and  stretch  the  cam- 
paign out  over  three  hundred 
and  sixty-five  days  in  the  year. 


^^^^ereas  there  will  appear,  as 
Proposition  No.  4  on  the  ballot  at 
the  election  November  2,  1926,  an 
initiative  measure  concerning  a  pro- 
posed three-cent  gasoline  tax,  which 
is  an  increase  of  one  cant  over  the 
present  statutory  two-cent  gasoline 
tax.  and 

Whereas  the  net  proceeds  of  this 
additional  gasoline  tax  will  be 
credited  to  the  State  highway  con- 
struction fund  and  will  be  used  to 
complete  the  State  Highway  Sys- 
tem, and 


Whereas  it  is  estimated  thit  the 
increased  tax  provided  by  this 
measure  will  produce  through  a 
period  of  twelve  years  approxi- 
mately $10,000,000  per  year,  which 
though  sufficient  is  necessary  to 
complete  the  State  Highway  System 
in  that  period,  and 

Whereas,  the  State  Highway  Sys 
tem  should  be  completed  at  the 
earliest  practicable  time,  and  the 
method  of  raising  funds  therefor 
proposed  by  this  measure  appears  to 
be  f:iir  and  equitable,  putting  the 
burden  as  it  do.^s  on  the  motor 
vehicle  owners  who  derive  the  first 
and  mo.st  immediate  benefit  from 
highway  construction,  and  the 
amount  of  the  proposed  additional 
tax  seems  reasonable  and  necessary, 
and 

Whereas  this  method  of  raising 
funds  for  highway  construction  was 
heretofore  approved  by  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce, 

Now  Therefore  Be  It  Resolved 
that  the  San- Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  hereby  approves  said 
Proposition  No.  4  on  the  November 
ba  1  lot,  concerning  a  one-cent  gasol  ine 
tax  in  addition  to  the  present  two- 
cent  statutory  gasoline  tax,  and  that 
it  hereby  reiterates  its  former  ap- 
proval of  such  a  method  of  raising 
funds  for  highway  construction. 


Taxpayers'  Conference 

The  advisory  cominittee  of  the 
Western  States  Taxpayers'  Confer- 
ence will  hold  its  fourth  annual 
meeting  at  the  Biltmore  Hotel,  Los 
Angeles,  October  11  to  13  inclusive, 
according  to  announcement  just  re- 
ceived by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. Its  purpose  is  to  encourage 
co-operation  among  the  Western 
States  in  establishing  economy  in  the 
expenditure  of  public  money.  W.  H. 
Nanry,  director  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Bureau  of  Governmental  Re- 
search, is  a  member  of  the  advisory 
committee  of  the  Conference.

Customs  Regulations 

CHINA 

Stamp  Tax  Instituted  for  Oil  Monopoly  in  Canton. 
The  Canton  Government  has  abolished  the 
monopoly  on  petroleum  products  and  substituted  a 
tax  of  S2  Canton  currency  per  unit  of  10  gallons  on 
gasoline  and  kerosene.  In  accordance  with  the  regu- 
lations recently  promulgated  by  the  ministry  of 
finance  with  respect  to  the  application  of  the  tax, 
oil  companies  are  required  first  to  apply  for  licenses 
enabling  them  to  import  oil  and  to  engage  in  its 
distribution.  In  addition  the  regulations  provide 
that  the  local  government  shall  have  the  right  to 
confiscate  shipments  of  oil  upon  which  no  taxes 
have  been  paid  and  also  the  right  to  levy  fines  for 
.serious  violations  of  the  tax  regulations.

SUMMARY  0/ WORLD  MARKET  CONDITIONS 

^ased  upon  Qables  and  Other  Imports  received  in  the  Department  of  Qommerce 


The  dollar  volume  of  trade  during  the 
third  week  of  August,  as  seen  from  check 
payments,  continued  to  show  increases 
over  a  year  ago,  as  shown  by  carloading 
figures.  More  goods  moved  into  consump- 
lion  during  the  second  week  of  the  month 
than  in  either  the  previous  week  or  the 
same  week  of  last  year.  The  output  of 
Iiituminous  coal  in. the  second  week  also 
recorded  increases  over  the  previous  week 
and  the  same  week  of  1925,  while  lumber 
jiruduction  although  larger  than  in  the 
first  week  of  August,  was  smaller  than  a 
year  ago. 

CANADA 

Wheat  harvesting  has  begun  in  the 
l»rairie  provinces.  Agricultural  imple- 
ments, automobile,  and  textile  industries 
are  showing  greater  activity.  The  aggre- 
gate of  building  authorization  of  sixty- 
three  Canadian  cities  during  the  seven 
months  ended  Julv  31  approximated 
$97,500,000  as  compared  with  less  than 
^79,000,000  during  the  same  period  of 
1925.  Loadings  of  revenue  freight  from  the 
beginning  of  January  through  August  7 
totaled  l,7.S2,:i82  cars,  as  compared  with 
1,577,532  during  the  corresponding  period 
of  192G. 

GREAT  BRITAIN 

Unemployment  on  August  9,  exclusive 
of  coal  miners,  numbered  1,594,200,  as 
compared  with  1,618,800  persons  on 
August  2. 

The  knit  gc ids  manufacturers'  applica- 
tion for  .1  45  per  cent  tariff  on  the  importa- 
tion of  knit  goods  has  been  rejected  by 
the  Hoard  of  Trade  committee  that  heard 
the  appeal.  The  committee,  however,  has 
suggested  a  future  application  in  the  event 
that  the  proportion  of  imported  knit 
goods  increases  substantially,  and  if 
there  is  a  decrease  of  employment  within 
the  industrv. 

FRANCE 

French  (iovernment  revenues  in  July 
amounted  to  3,601.000,000  francs,  the 
highest  figure  since  January,  while  the 
total  revenues  for  the  first  seven  months 
of  the  present  year  were  19,707,000.000 
francs.  The  direct  taxyieldfor  July  shows 
a  large  increase  due  to  advance  payments 
of  1926  taxes. 

Tlie  foreign  trade  balance  for  the  first 
seven  months  of  1926  w'as  largely  un-;- 
favorable,  imports  being  vahied  at  34,- 
430.000.000  francs  and  exports  at  31,967,- 
000,000  francs.  Julv  trade  showed  a 
favun.lilr  Inhuir.-nf.'JS.OOO.OOO  francs  as

twciu  ii  i.n  :iim1  steel  producers  of  France, 
Germany.  Pelgium  and  Luxemburg  will 
probably  be  signed  September  15.  The 
statement  of  tiie  Bank  of  France  for  the 
week  ended  August  18  shows  advances  to 
the  state  amounting  to  36,950,000,000 
francs  ;ind  a  note  circulation  of  55,658,- 
OOO.OOO  francs.  These  figures  represent  a 
decline  from  previous  high  levels  which 
is  especially  marked  in  the  note  circula- 
tion. By  a  decree  of  August  14.  the  specific 
duties  on  imports,  with  a  few  exceptions, 
were  increased  by  30  per  cent. 

AUSTRIA 

TIic  inchistrial  trade  depression  in 
Au.stria  contined  during  August  with  little 
apparent  change.  However,  an  increase  in 
the  quantity  of  orders  in  the  textile,  iron 
and  steel,  and  electro-technical  industries 


is  considered  as  a  sign  of  coming  improve- 
ment. Favorable  weather  which  has  set 
in  following  the  heavy  rains  of  June  and 
Julv.  has  s(iinewh.-it  improved  the  crop 
prospects,  but  in  tlie  Danube  basin  both 
quality  and  quantity  are  below  last  year's 
standard. 

DENMARK 
Danish  imports  during  the  first  six 
months  of  this  year  totaled  S(ii',()(i(!,(ino 
crowns  and  exports  784,000, ikki  rn.wns, 
thus  leaving  an  import  excess  of  is.iiiiii.diiii 
crowns,  as  compared  witli  71,UU0,U00 
crowns  and  147,000,000  crowns  respective- 
ly for  the  corresponding  period  of  1925 
and  1924.  Increased  raw  material  con- 
sumption following  the  readjustment  in 
wage  levels  is  expected  to  result  in  a  con- 
tinuation for  several  months  of  the 
monthly  import  surplus. 

SWEDEN 

The  Swedish  economic  stiuation  did 
not  change  materially  during  the  past 
month,  basic  factors  continuing  to  indi- 
cate in  general  a  favorable  development. 
Largely  as  a  result  of  minimum  credit 
demands  for  industrial  expansion,  the 
money  market  eased  up  during  the  last 
few  weeks.  Deposits  in  commercial  banks 
have  been  decreasing  for  several  months 
but  this  has  now  been  checked  and  the 
upward  swing  has  apparently  started. 

ITALY 

The  projected  international  iron  and 
steel  agreement  between  French,  Belgian, 
LiLxemburg  and  German  producers  has 
occasioned  considerable  interest  in  Itahan 
industry'  which  claims  that  the  de- 
pendence of  the  Italian  iron  and  steel 
industry  on  these  foreign  sources  of  supply 
would  weaken  Italy's  competitive  posi- 
tion in  the  products  of  the  mechanical 
industries  if  foreign  control  were  to  be 
exercised  over  basic  materials.  It  is 
reported  that  the  regulations  regarding 
bread  making  will  become  effective 
September  1. 

JAPAN 

General  business  in  Japan  is  somewhat 
more  optimistic  owing  to  continued 
favorable  crop  conditions.  The  sheet  steel 
market  is  improved  and  rails,  black  and 
galvanized  plate,  pipe  and  tin  plate  are 
also  fairly  active.  Building  construction 
is  active  in  Tokyo  and  Osaka  but  the 
tariff  on  structural  steel  makes  American 
competition  diflficult.  Further  increases  in 
the  tariff  on  steel  products  are  under  con- 
sideration. 

The  continued  advance  in  Japanese 
exchange  is  adversely  affecting  Japan's 
export  business  particularly  in  raw  silk, 
cotton  yarns  and  textiles.  However,  buy- 
ing in  the  raw  silk  market  has  been 
stimulated  by  sacrifice  sales  by  filatures 
and  reelers  to  secure  funds  for  the  O'Bob 
festival  settlement  period.  July  silk 
exports  were  slightly  larger  than  June, 
but  far  below  the  same  month  of  1925. 

CfflNA 

The  general  tone  of  business  in  China  is 
quiet  owing  to  continued  uncertainty  re- 
garding military  and  political  develop- 
ments and  the  consequent  unwillingness 
of  merchants  to  place  orders  for  future 
delivery.  General  business  is  restricted  to 
immediate  demands. 

The  Shanghai  iron  and  steel  market  is 
somewhat  better  but  business  is  re- 
stricted by  unfavorable  exchange  and 
hand-to-mouth  buying  by  interior  dealers. 


PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS 

The  rainy  season  has  caused  Philippine 
business  to  be  somewhat  slower,  but 
slight  improvement  in  most  lines  was 
witnessed  the  early  part  of  August. 
Registrations  of  automobiles  in  July  were 
again  record-breaking  and  sales  of  small 
cars  and  light  trucks  continued  excellent. 
Tire  sales  to  small  con.sumers  have  been 
large.  Because  of  the  rainS,  the  textile 
market  has  been  less  active.  Import  busi- 
ness in  machinery,  hardware  and  shoe 
lines  is  good. 

HAWAII 

Well  distributed  general  rains  during 
July  and  August,  together  with  about  70 
per  cent  of  sunshine,  have  enabled 
Hawaiian  crops  to  catch  up  with  growth 
lost  during  the  preceding  droughty 
period.  At  the  end  of  July  sugar  was  about 
94  per  cent  harvested.  Latest  estimates 
placed  production  at  790,000  short  tons 
as  compared  with  776,072  short  tons  in 
1925.  Early  estimates  for  the  next  crop 
place  the  output  at  800,000  short  tons. 

Hawaii  is  experiencing  a  record  summer 
tourist  business. 

INDIA 

Indian  business  in  most  lines  is  season- 
ally dull,  the  normal  slackness  being 
accentuated  by  the  after  effects  of  inter- 
nal disturbance,  but  steady  recovery  is 
apparent.  Imports  are  being  well  main- 
tained and  the  industrial  situation  is 
showing  gradual  improvement.  Bazaar 
trades  are  seasonally  slow  but  there  are 
prospects  of  itiruascd  Imin  ing  activity  in 
September.  Most  impoifant  is  the  satis- 
factory progress  n|*  the  niniisoon  and  the 
good  condition  of  crops. 

AUSTRALIA 

Australian  business  conditions  during 
August  showed  little  change  from  the 
preceding  month.  Winter  clearance  sales 
continue  and  merchants  are  now  looking 
forward  to  spring  business.  Wheat  re- 
mains inactive,  awaiting  developments. 
The  wool  season  has  commenced  and 
receipts  at  Sydney  are  larger  than  for  the 
corresponding  period  of  last  year,  indi- 
cating an  early  season.  The  Federal  Par- 
liament has  adjourned  and  except  for  a 
brief  session  at  Melbourne  during  the 
early  part  of  1927,  all  future  sessions  will 
be  held  at  Canberra,  the  new  Federal 
capital. 

ARGENTINA 

Unfavoral:)le  conditions  in  Argentine 
trade  continue  with  no  cessation  of  the 
rainy  w'eather  and  its  resultant  adverse 
effect  on  grain  shipments.  The  market 
for  cattle  is  dull  bvit  that  for  hides  is 
active.  A  decrease  of  10  per  cent  in  the 
value  of  exports  from  Argentina  during 
the  first  six  months  of  this  year  as  com- 
pared with  the  same  period  in  1925  is 
reported. 

MEXICO 

There  has  been  no  improvement  in  the 
business  situati'm  in  Me\i«n  during  the 
past  week  and  nnsclilcd  cMnditions  pre- 
viously reporteil  still  jirevail,  although 
the  specific  effects  of  the  boycott  are  less 
noticeable  in  some  sections. 

COSTA  RICA 

Conditions  thruutthout  tlie  Port  Limon 
district  were  normal  during  the  first  half 
of  the  year.  Labor  was  well  employed  at 
stable  wages  and  dealers  were  not  over- 


SAN  FRANCISCO  lU'SINKSS.  SEPTEMBER 


stocked  Willi  h.kkIs.  Iinliiirls  ami  exTiorta 
were  satisfactory  in  viiliime.  The  import 
trade  was  somewhat  leas  than  for  the 
same  period  of  1925,  while  most  exports 
showed  a  slight  increase. 

PORTO  RICO 

Commercial  transactions  continue  liRht 
with  San  Juan  l)ank  dearinRs  slightly  less 
than  in  1025.  The  relniilding  of  she<ls. 
bams  and  small  houses  damaged  by  the 
storm,  csix-cially  in  the  tobacco  district, 
continnes  and  is  causing  a  movement  from 
seaports  of  const  niction  materials,  chiefly 
lumber  and  roofing.  Lumber  importers 
are  complaining  of  the  recent  increase  in 
freight  rates  from  gulf  ports.  Sugar  ship- 
ments from  .January  1  llir.iugh  August  16 
were  499,1)00  tons  ii-s  i^onipared  with  482,- 
000  tons  during  the  corresponding  period 
of  l»2.i.  Recent  climatic  conditions  are 
favoring  growing  crops. 

THE  BAHAMAS 

The  general  feeling  .if  depression  which 
was  prevalent  during  -May  has  gradually 
disappeared  and  the  business  community 
is  more  optimistic,  due  to  the  steady  in- 
crease in  the  tourist  trade  and  the  pros- 
perity of  the  reieutlv  established  building 
companies,  Alihough  the  supply  of  labor 
has  been  pli'T.iiful.  wages  of  both  skdled 
and  unskilled  workers  have  risen  con- 
siderably, with  a  favorable  reaction  on 
the  retail  trade.  Building  const  mction 
during  the  quarter  ended  .lune  30.  1926, 
progressed  rapidly  and  the  new  Fort 
Montagu  Hotel  has  practically  been 
completed.  ,  ,      ,

rilla  bark  and  pineapple.  There  was  sub- 
stantial increase  in  the  export  of  lumber 
from  Abaeo.  the  majority  of  which  wa.s 
shipped  to  Cuba. 

BRAZIL 

The  situation  generally  is  quiet  in 
Brazil.  Coffee  is  higher  and  shipments 
somewhat  heavier.  Santos  stocks  on 
August  13  were  jusi  over  1.100,000  bags. 
It  is  reported  in  Brazil  that  Sao  Paulo 
interior  planters  are  receiving  financial 
aid. 

CHILE 

The  wh.ilesalc'  an.l  r.'lail  trades  c.m-

There  is  maik.-.l  .o-tivity  in  the  stock 
market  and  the  sight  draft  exchange  rate 
on  the  dollar  has  risen  to  S.12  pesos  from 
8.26.  The  central  bank  discount  rate  has 
been  reduced  to  9  per  cent  from  an  earlier 
rate  of  10  per  cent  while  the  re-discount 
rate  is  being  maintained  at  S  per  cent. 

REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

Loading  of  reveiuie  freight  the 
week  ended  August  14  totaled 
1,109,557  cars,  according  to  the  car- 
service  division  of  the  American 
Railway  Association.  This  was  an 
increase  of  45,081  cars  above  the 
samg  week  last  year  and  an  increase 
of  156,149  cars  above  the  same  week 
in  1924.  It  was  the  twelfth  week  this 
year  that  loadings  have  exceeded 
the  million-car  mark.  The  total  for 
the  week  of  August  14  was  an  in- 
crease of  26,358  cars  above  the  pre- 
ceding week. 


New  Industries  and  Sxpansions 


A     WEEKLY      REVIEW 


NEW  INDUSTRIES 

GEO.  HOOKi:,  IXC,  753  Bryant 
Street,  is  opening  up  a  plant  to  can 
salad  fruits  and  salad  vegetables. 
Building  and  equipment  used  by 
this  new  industry  represents  an  in- 
vestment of  approximately  ?75,00O. 
Mr.  George  Hooke,  who  has  been  in 
the  canning  business  for  forty-five 
years  in  Santa  Clara  \'alley,  has 
moved  his  headquarters  to  San 
Franci-sco.  The  plant  runs  the  year 
around,  using  canned  fruits  and 
canned  vegettililes  prepared  for  this 
company.  The  plant  rea.ssemhles  the 
fruits  or  vegetables  for  salad  pur- 
poses. The  salad  vegetable  pack  is 
consumed  mo.stly  on  the  Pacific 
Coast,  but  the  salad  fruits  find  a  big 
market  all  over  this  country  and  in 
Europe. 

THE  CROWELL  PUBLISHING 
COMPANY,  485  California  Street, 
has  recently  opened  ti))  a  branch 
Advertising  Department.  The  execu-

IJHERE  are  forty-three 
million  peach  trees  in  the 
United  States  today. 
Nearly  seventeen  million 
of  these  are  in  California, 
and  nearly  fourteen  million  of  the 
California  peach  trees  grow  in  the 
great  valleys  of  the  Sacramento  and 
San  Joaquin  rivers. 

In  other  words,  those  valleys  pro- 
duce 82  per  cent  of  the  peaches 
grown  in  California  and  about  33 
per  cent  of  those  grown  in  all  the 
United  States.  The  average  produc- 
tiveness of  a  California  valley  peach 
tree  is  much  greater  than  the  pro- 
ductiveness of  the  average  American 
peach  tree.  Therefore  it  is  more  than 
likely  that  these  valleys  produce  at 
least  35  per  cent  of  all  the  peaches 
gi-own  in  the  republic.  They  do  pro- 
duce exactly  60  per  cent  of  all  the 
tree  fruits,  nuts  and  grapes  raised  in 
California. 

Wherever  on  earth  commerce  has 
pioneered  a  path  for  civilization,  in 
lands  even  recently  une.xplored,  in 
the  jungles,  in  the  deserts,  and  in  the 
mountains,  and  along  the  old  routes 
of  the  slave  traders,  mute  monu- 
ments to  the  glories  of  the  Delta  at 


the  confluence  of  these  valleys 
twinkle  in  the  moonlight  or  gleam  in 
the  glamour  of  the  noonday  sun. 

At  Sokoto  in  Nigeria,  the  palm-oil 
trader  or  the  British  administrator, 
when  his  luck  is  in,  has  canned 
asparagus  for  lunch  or  dinner.  On 
the  borders  of  the  Gobi  desert,  on 
the  fairy  house-boats  in  Kashmir, 
the  wanderers  and  the  pleasure- 
seekers  alike  carry  canned  asparagus 
in  their  commissariats.  Practically 
every  pound  of  such  asparagus  that 
helps  to  make  life  livable  beyond  the 
farther  seas  is  grown  in  the  San 
Joaquin  Delta. 

There  is  no  region  in  the  world 
whose  products  so  ubiquitously  per- 
meate civiUzation  as  do  those  of  the 
great  central  valleys  of  California. 
Nevertheless  there  are  a  great  many 
people  in  America  and  elsewhere 
who  have  very  little  idea  as  to  where 
and  what  these  valleys  are,  and  the 
part  they  play  in  the  economy  of  the 
Golden  State  and  the  commerce  of 
the  world  at  large. 

CaUfornia  is  still  essentially  an 
agricultural  state,  and  the  backbone 
of  its  agricultural  prosperity  is  the 
immense  vaUey  that  runs  through  its 


center  from  Shasta  County  on  the 
north  to  the  Sierra  Madres  in  Kern 
County  on  the  south. 

The  northern  part  of  this  valley 
is  the  valley  of  the  Sacramento 
River;  the  southern  part  is  the  valley 
of  the  San  Joaquin. 

These  rivers  have  their  confluence 
in  the  upper  reaches  of  the  San 
Francisco  Bay.  In  the  Delta,  or 
angle  enclosed  by  the  rivers  near 
their  mouth,  a  triangle  with  its  base 
on  the  line  drawn  from  Sacramento 
to  Stockton  and  its  apex  at  Suisun 
Bay,  is  some  of  the  richest  and  most 
productive  soil  on  earth. 

The  length  of  the  combined  val- 
leys is  about  350  miles  from  north  to 
south.  Its  width  varies  from  40  to  70 
miles.  It  comprises  an  area  of  about 
9,500,000  acres,  more  than  14,800 
square  miles,  of  which  only  about 
2,000,000  acres  are  as  yet  under 
cultivation.  The  whole  of  it  is 
destined  in  time  to  become  the 
greatest  garden  ever  conceived  by 
man. 

Numerous  towns  and  important 
cities  thrive  in  this  region  of  pro- 
ductiveness and  prosperity.  There

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  SEPTEMBER  S.  1926 


LOS  qANGELES 

<By  ARTHUR  S.  BENT 

President  of  the  Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Commerce 


jlHE  ending  of  the  first 
two-thirds  of  1926  finds 
Southern  California  in  a 
highly  prosperous  con- 
dition. While  there  are, 
of  course,  in  a  community  develop- 
ing as  young  industrially  as  Southern 
California  certain  lines  of  business  in 
which  adjustment  is  taking  place,  it 
can  safely  be  said  that  on  the  whole 
a  continuation  of  the  rapid  progress 
of  the  past  few  years  is  evident. 

Gauging  the  situation  by  the 
usual  business  indices  it  may  be 
noted  that  in  the  first  seven  months 
of  1926  the  bank  clearings  of  Los 
Angeles  amounted  to  more  than 
$5,431,049,956,  or  a  gain  of  more 
than  15  per  cent  over  the  same 
period  of  1925,  which  up  to  this 
time  had  been  a  record  year.  It  is 
interesting  that  the  value  of  the 
commerce  at  Los  Angeles  Harbor 
during  the  first  half  of  1926,  total- 
ing $417,900,000,  showed  a  sub- 
stantially equal  gain  over  1925,  the 
percentage  of  increase  being  13.6 
per  cent.  Tonnage  handled  during 
the  same  period  increased  8J2  per 
cent  to  a  total  of  10,797,942. 

In  building  construction,  a  rapid 
pace  has  been  maintained,  although 
not  quite  equaling  the  figures  for 
1925.  The  total  for  the  first  six 
months  in  Los  Angeles  was  $77,- 
288,000,  which  is  sufficient  to  main- 
tain Los  Angeles  in  fifth  place 
amongst  the  cities  of  the  nation. 
During  the  month  of  July,  building 
in  Los  Angeles  alone  amounted  to 
45  per  cent  of  the  entire  building  in 
the  State  of  California  and  approxi- 
mately 30  per  cent  of  the  building 
on  the  Pacific  Coast,  being  four 
times  that  of  any  other  city  on  the 
Pacific  Coast. 

In  the  oil  fields,  conditions  have 
been  steady  with  an  output  for  the 
first  seven  months  of  1926  approxi- 
mately the  same  as  that  during  1925, 
the  average  yield  of  all  oil  wells  in 
the  state  being  about  610,000 
barrels  per  day.  A  considerably 
higher  production  of  gasohne  has 
been  possible  through  the  develop- 
ment of  the  cracking  process  and 
more  oil  is  being  refined  than  ever 
before.  A  relatively  small  amount  of 
crude  oil  is  being  shipped,  with 
larger  amounts  of  refined  products. 

One  of  the  outstanding  develop- 
ments in  manufacturing  lines  in 
Southern  California  during  the  past 
year    has    been    the    extension    of 


markets  for  manufactured  goods 
into  a  radius  of  territory  never 
before  reached.  Many  manufac- 
turers are  regularly  shipping  to 
Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  Nevada 
and  also  Idaho,  Utah,  Washington 
and  Oregon.  Especially  significant 
during  the  past  year  has  been  the 
increase  of  business  in  the  Arizona 
market  which  appears  to  be  looking 
to  Los  Angeles  as  a  source  of  supply 
to  a  degree  never  before  reached. 

This  extension  of  market  has 
given  the  greatest  stability  to  manu- 
facturing conditions  than  has  ever 
been  attained  in  the  past  and 
promises  to  be  the  characteristic  of 
the  sales  conditions  for  some  time  to 
come. 

Illustrating  this  tendency  in  more 


detail,  were  the  results  of  the 
Industrial  and  Trade  Exposition 
conducted  by  the  Los  Angeles 
Chamber  of  Commerce  from  August 
16th  to  22nd.  At  this  time,  a  total 
of  6,000  buyers  from  all  over  the 
West  visited  the  Los  Angeles  market 
for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  their 
requirements.  One  Los  Angeles  man- 
ufacturer reports  fifty-two  new  ac- 
counts opened  in  Oregon  and  Wash- 
ington. Another  one  reported 
twenty-seven  in  Arizona  and  New 
Mexico  alone,  while  a  manufacturer 
of  rubber  tires  in  Los  Angeles  is  now 
shipping  regularly  two  carloads  a 
month  to  the  New  York  market. 

The  volume  of  commercial  trans- 
actions as  both  wholesale  and  retail, 
has  made  new  records  during  1926, 
particularly  large  gains  being  regis- 
tered by  the  larger  individual  units 


such  as  department  stores.  The 
cumulative  index  of  retail  trade 
maintained  by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce shows  approximately  8  per 
cent  larger  volume  than  during  the 
same  period  of  1925. 

All  agencies  indicate  a  great  deal 
of  interest  in  the  East  in  California 
and  forecast  a  very  large  attendance 
of  tourists  and  visitors  during  the 
coming  winter.  Southern  Califor- 
nia's suiiimer  vacation  visitors, 
especially  those  arriving  bj'  automo- 
bile, have  been  more  numerous  than 
ever  before  and  as  a  result,  hotels 
and  resorts  have  been  well  satisfied. 

A  general  summary  would  indi- 
cate a  favorable  business  picture  and 
an  indication  of  the  continuation  of 
sound  progress  for  Southern  Cali- 
fornia in  the  balance  of  the  year  and 
for  1927.

■WHITK-SPOT'onthe 
financial  map  of  A'a- 
tion's  Business  for  an 
almost  unbroken  period 
of  three  years,  San 
Diego's  population  today  is  nearly 
double  that  of  1920,  the  city  holds 
sixth  place  among  Pacific  Coast 
cities  in  volume  of  building  permits, 
its  ratio  of  loans  to  discounts  is  67 
per  cent  and  has  since  1919  been 
constantly  below  70  per  cent,  repre- 
senting money  as  easy  and  business 
very  good. 

Almost  any  city  of  San  Diego's 
size— today  140,000— that  is  install- 
ing electric  meters  at  the  rate  of  500 
a  month,  whose  buUding  permits 
pro\-ide  homes  for  more  than  300 
new  families  every  month,  and 
whose  skyhne  is  changing  daily 
under  the  pressure  of  big  business — 
almost  any  city,  I  say,  that  enjoys 
these  conditions  would  be  shouting 
"boom,  boom"  and  would  be  swamp- 
ing the  countrj'side  with  facts  and 
figures  about  its  amazing  growth. 

Not  so  San  Diego.  The  citizens 
have  steadfastly  refused  to  tolerate 
any  sporadic  growth.  They  have 
continued  to  talk  climate,  recrea-

in  the  county  that  produced  88,000,- 
000  worth  of  the  yellow  metal  in  the 
'80's  and  early  '90's  are  being  re- 
opened with  gratifying  results.  The

coming  to  supply  a  bigger  share  of 


the  non-metallics  for  California

agricultural  development  of  San

tributing more  and  more  to  the 
prosperity  and  industrj'  of  the  city. 

The  old  bugaboo  of  not  enough 
water  has  passed.  Today  there  is 
water  enough  in  San  Diego  reser- 
voirs to  supply  the  city  for  four 
years  without  a  drop  of  rain,  and  the 
city  is  going  ahead  with  a  develop- 
ment program  to  pro\ade  water  for  a 
half  million  people  in  1945.  The  city 
confidently  expects  to  have  250,000 
people  by  1930  and  is  making  plans 
for  that  time. 

The  last  call  of  the  banks  showed 
a  substantial  transfer  of  money  from 
savings  to  commercial  accounts, 
whDetotal  assets  increased -85,000, 000 
over  the  previous  quarter.  This  in- 
dicates that  money  is  being  put  to 
work  in  building,  which  will  run  at 
least  820,000,000  for  1926;  in  in- 
dustrj-, which  has  an  annual  output 
of  .835,000,000,  and  in  real  estate, 
which  is  active  but  not  speculative. 

Realty  values  are  stiU  below  the 
corresponding  values  in  other  cities 
of  San  Diego's  size,  although  the 
assessed  valuation  has  increased 
from  888,067,609  in  1920  to  8131,- 
666,494  in  1925.  The  city  recently 
annexed  considerable  territon,^  to 
prevent  improper  subdi\'idLng  and 
poor  improvements  in  the  outhdng

RES  AGING  an  era  of 
Iirosperity  in  the  Stock- 
t  on  section  is  the  expan- 
sion taking  place  in  all 
lines  of  trade,  industry 
■I'ce. 

Stockton  and  Central  California 
stepped  into  a  year  of  general  busi- 
ness increases.  With  a  tremendous 
building  program  continuing  un- 
abated in  this  inland  port  and  in 
thesurrounding  agricultural  sections, 
new  development  projects  under  way 
bringing  industrial  growth  and  in- 
creasing commerce,  a  great  flow  of 
new  wealth  is  in  evidence  for  invests 
ment. 

Large  industries  have  been  en- 
gaged in  record  production  schedules 
and  night  shifts  have  been  operated 
to  speed  up  production  to  satisfy  in- 
creased demands  for  manufactured 
products. 

Pay-roU  increases  have  been  ex- 
ceedingly gratifying.  The  adding  of 
new  industries  and  the  expansion  of 
the  marketing  field  have  been  re- 
sponsible for  adding  1,290  industrial 
employees  in  the  Port  of  Stockton, 
which  will  result  in  an  increase  in  the 
city's  industrial  pay  rolls  for  the 
year  of  approximately  §1,938,000. 
The  building  program  in  the  citj- 
of  Stockton  and  throughout  the  San 
Joaquin  'S'alley  continues.  It  is 
gratifying  to  note  the  utter  lack  of 
any  building  boom.  Building  con- 
struction is  only  keeping  pace  with 
the  great  business  expansion  being 
experienced.  With  new  development 
projects  under  way,  added  industrial 
production,  heavy  employment  gains 
with  consequent  increase  in  popula- 
tion; with  the  inauguration  of  large 
projects  attracting  outside  capital  to 
seek  investment,  there  has  been  need 
for  a  heavy  buikhng  program. 
Needed  development  now  pro- 
grammed for  a  period  of  years,  and

desirable  investment  fields  just  open- 
ing up,  guarantee  rapid  and  con- 
tinuous growth. 

The  normal  business  and  popula- 
tion gains  which  follow  in  the  wake 
of  a  heavy  development  program 
conclusively  determine  continued 
activity  in  the  building  field  to  keep 
abreast  of  growing  needs. 

Back  of  the  industrial  prosperity 
and  business  expansion  of  the  Stock- 
ton section  is  the  stabilizing  in- 
fluence of  diversified  agricultural 
production  of  San  Joaquin  County 
and  the  San  Joaquin  VaUej'.  In  1925 
the  soils  of  San  Joaquin  County 
yielded  a  new  wealth  in  crops  which 
returned  to  the  growers  of  the 
county  $50,000,000.  Whde  the  har- 
vest is  far  from  complete  at  this 


writing,  there  is  every  mdication 
that  this  record  yield  will  be  exceed- 
ed by  approximately  $2,000,000  this 
year. 

The  Port  of  Stockton  is  a  concen- 
trating point  and  a  natural  market^ 
ing  center  for  a  great  agricultural 
area.  Through  the  marketing  chan- 
nels of  this  city  clears  the  vast  flood 
of  fruit,  grain,  vegetables,  live  stock, 
minerals  and  manufactured  output 
of  interior  California. 

And  within  a  few  months  a  devel- 
opment project  will  be  under  way 
which  will  ex-tend  the  deep  water  of 
San  Francisco  Bay  into  the  heart  of 
California's  great  productive  valley. 

The  San  Joaquin  River  will  be 
deepened  to  26  feet  to  permit  of 
ocean-going  vessels  docking  at  the 
wharves  of  Port  Stockton;  95%  of 
the  vessels  passing  through  the 
Golden  Gate  may  come  up  the  deep- 
water  channel  to  the  inland  port  of 
Stockton  with  their  cargoes  of  raw 
materials  and  the  merchandise  of 
commerce  needed  in  the  valley.  Go- 
ing forth  to  the  markets  of  the  world 
will  be  returned  cargoes  of  agricultu- 
ral products  and  manufactured  out- 
put. A  recent  freight  survey  shows 
that  513,000  tons  of  freight  will  be 
immechately  avaUaljle  for  movement 
through  the  Port  of  Stockton  an- 
nually. The  port  will  serve  the 
entire  Great  Valley  of  California, 
which  comprises  an  area  of  30,000 
square  miles  and  a  contiguous  trade 
area  of  100,000  square  miles. 

The  early  completion  of  the  Stock- 
ton channel  will  provide  an  impetus 
to  great  development  in  the  Stock- 
ton section  and  in  the  interior  of  the 
state  generally.  New  investment 
possibilities  will  be  created,  new 
markets  developed,  and  a  stimulus 
will  be  applied  to  colonization  of 
valley  lands  and  to  the  location  of 
numerous  industries.

How  ^ower  Transformed  a  desert 


HKN  California  was 
young  in  the  artifices  of 
civilization,  Spanish  pa- 
dres were  forced  to  aban- 
don an  effort  to  estabUsh 
a  mission  in  the  San  Joaquin  Valley 
because  of  the  desert  character  of  the 
territory  and  its  apparently  impene- 
trable isolation. 

Settlers  looking  for  homesites 
came  to  California  with  prospectors 
lured  by  the  discovery  of  gold.  The 
groups  of  these  settlers  who  wan- 
dered to  the  San  Joaquin  Valley 
stayed  under  the  shadows  of  the 
Sierras  to  Ijuild  their  homes,  hugging 
the  l)anks  of  the  rivers  for  protection 
against  thedosolatc  desert.  Gradual!}' 
reaching  out  from  their  river  banks 
for  more  of  the  fertile  valley  land, 
the  settlers  penetrated  parts  of  the 
waste  with  irrigation  ditches.  A 
rich  agricultural  area  was  developed. 
But  always  on  the  outskirts  was  the 
desert,  for  gravity  ditches  were  ade- 
quate to  water  only  a  small  portion 
of  the  parched  acres. 

Not  until  A.  G.  Wishon,  pioneer  in 
hydro-electric  development,  proved 
the  practicability  of  his  vision  of 
land  made  verdant  by  water  from 
electrically  driven  pumps,  did  the 
final  subjugation  of  the  inhospitable 
stretches  of  arid  waste  seem  a  possi- 
bility. 


A.  G.  WISHON 


Arriving  in  California  in  August, 
1889,  with  a  dream  of  power  devel- 
opment and  a  need  for  a  job,  A.  G. 
Wishon  went  into  the  insurance  busi- 
ness. Between  times  he  surveyed  the 
country,  maile  practical  plans  for 
the  realization  of  his  power  dream, 
and  endeavored  to  sell  his  idea  to 


capital.  Ten  years  had  pa.ssed  before 
he  procured  sufficient  capital  and 
tiuilt  his  power  house.  In  June, 
1S99.  a  small  plant  was  finished  on 
the  Kaweah  River  in  Tulare  County, 
and  turned  over  to  the  Mt.  ^^'hitney 
Power  Company. 

Then  came  the  problem  of  selling 
the  power  to  the  people.  In  the 
Lindsay  district  about  25  shallow 
wells  were  being  operated  by  steam 
and  gas  engines.  The  gas  engines 
also  were  crude.  A.  G.  Wishon  be- 
lieved that  water  pumped  by  elec- 
tricity would  some  day  make  valu- 
able the  valley's  desert  lands.  But 
growers  were  dubious  about  electri- 
cally operated  pumps.  They  never 
had  seen  any. 

.Staking  everything  on  his  belief, 
Mr.  Wishon  went  to  San  Francisco, 
borrowed  .?25,000,  more  money  than 
it  was  possible  to  obtain  in  the  val- 
ley, and  invested  it  in  motors  and 
transformers.  These  he  offered  to  the 
growers  with  no  down  payment,  six 
per  cent  interest,  and  the  principal 
payable  one-fifth  annually.  Twenty- 
five  motors,  all  he  had,  were  sold  in 
two  daj's.  Lines  were  put  up  in 
a  hurry.  People  came  in  wagons, 
buggies,  afoot,  and  horseback,  from 
all  the  country  round  to  see  the  first 
plant    put    in    operation    with    its

Outlook  for  business  .Stirs  Optimism 


By  C.  L.  SNYDER 
President,  San  Jose  Chamber  of  Commerce 


LIMPSING  the  future, 
one  can  not  but  sense  a 
feeling  that  it  holds  a 
continuance  of  present 
satisfactory  conditions. 
While  Ijuilding  activities,  volume  of 
trade,  crop  prices  and  production  do 
not  parallel  the  same  storj',  there  is 
no  denjTng  the  fact  that  general 
health}'  conditions  do  e.xist. 

Building  activities  are  on  a  greater 
scale  than  ever  before.  We  are  no 
longer  in  the  small-city  class  but 
have  grown  to  a  real  metropolitan 
area,  and  our  people  have  at  last 
realized  that  San  Jose  is  a  real  city, 
and  we  must  therefore  think  and  act 
in  like  terms. 

We  possess  all  the  major  require- 
ments for  a  successful  growing  com- 
munity: land,  situation,  power, 
labor  and  clirnatic  conditions. 


Prosperity  depends  a  great  deal  on 
one's  mental  outlook.  Ha\-ing  faith 
in  the  future  leads  one  to  buying, 
which  in  turn  forces  production, 
resulting  in  employment  and  the 
distribution  of  wages.  When  men 
earn  money,  more  is  put  in  circula- 
tion, and  the  more  they  earn  the 
larger  the  circulation.  This  condition 
we  have  had  for  several  years  and 
there  is  nothing  upon  the  horizon  to 
indicate  that  there  wUl  be  any 
change  during  the  remainder  of  the 
year. 

The  fruit  situation,  which  is  the 
cardinal  industry  of  the  valley,  is  on 
a  sound  basis. 

There  can  be  no  debate  as  to  the 
results,  the  outlook  for  business  is 
most  encouraging;  and  unless  some 
unforeseen  force  appears  it  should 
continue.

Greater  ^an  Francisco,  the  Million-Dollar  y^rea 


[IAN  FRANCISCO'vS  Bay 
area  produces  one -half 
of  the  manufactured  out- 
put of  the  State  of  Cali- 
fornia. The  value  of  this 
puts  Greater  San  Francisco  in  the 
billionaire  class.  It  amounted  to 
$1,379,000,000  last  year. 

The  area  so  often  spoken  of  as  the 
San  Francisco  Bay  area  is  composed 
of  the  five  Bay  counties  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, San  Mateo,  Alameda,  Marin 
and  Contra  Costa,  having  a  total  of 
2,464  square  miles.  To  some  this 
number  of  square  miles  may  seem 
very  large,  but  it  will  be  found  to  be 
strictly  conservative  when  it  is  com- 
pared with  the  Los  Angeles  metro- 
politan area  of  4,115  square  miles. 

San  Francisco  proper  covers  only 
42  square  miles,  but  its  industrial 
production  for  1925  amounted  to 
$529,000,000  or  one-fifth  of  the  total 
production  of  the  state.  Comparing 
San  Francisco  proper  with  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  area,  we  find  that  this 
city,  occupying  1.7%  of  the  area, 
produces  38%  of  the  area's  industrial 
output.  Or  looking  at  it  another 
way,  we  find  that  the  city  of  San 
Francisco  produced  last  year  within 
$60,000,000  of  the  total  production 
of  the  State  of  Oregon. 

300  NEW  INDUSTRIES 

An  indication  of  the  fact  that  no 
other  spot  on  the  Pacific  Coast  is 
growing  in  a  more  healthy  manner  is 
presented  by  the  location  in  the  Bay 
area  last  year  of  well  over  300  new 
industries,  which  number  bids  fair  to 
be  exceeded  during  1926. 

Scores  of  very  large  expansions 
have  taken  place  this  last  year 
among  the  industries  alreadj'  located 
in  San  Francisco  and  the  Bay  area  in 
general.  In  some  cases  completely 
new  plants  have  been  built,  while  in 
others  large  additions  to  existing 
plants  have  been  made.  A  few  of  the 
most  important  expansions  have 
been  made  by  the  following  indus- 
tries : 

Eastman  Kodak  Company, 

American  Radiator  Comp.any, 

Hermann  Safe  Co., 

Sunset  Press, 

Montgomery  Ward  &  Co., 

Simmons  Company, 

Kingan&  Co., 

Gr.^ad  Rapids  Furniture  Co.,

Clorox  Chemical  Corporation, 
Schlage  Lock  Company, 
California  Poultry  Company-, 
Pacific  Electric  Mfg.  Co., 
California  Meat  Co., 
Philadelphia  Storage  Battery 

Co., 
TraungLabel&LithograprCo., 

and  there  have  been  a  great  many 

others. 

MARVELOUS  GROWTH 

In  connection  with  the  growth  of 
industry  which  has  Ijeen  so  marked 
in  and  around  San  Francisco,  it  is 
interesting  to  note  that  San  Fran- 
cisco has  been  growing  by  leaps  and 
bounds  in  all  the  fundamental 
factors.  For  instance,  in  the  twenty 
years  since  the  San  Francisco  fire, 
the  city's  bank  clearings  have  in- 
creased 374%,  putting  San  Fran- 
cisco in  fifth  place  among  all  the 
cities  of  the  nation,  her  clearings 
now  amounting  to  nearly  $10,000,- 
000,000  annually.  The  value  of  man- 
ufactured products  has  increased 
287%;  the  value  of  foreign  com- 
merce 298%;  savings  bank  deposits 
318%;  postal  receipts  441%;  and 
so  on. 

Incidentally,  when  speaking  of 
bank  clearings  and  savings  which 
show  San  Francisco  to  be  the  un- 
questioned financial  center  of  the 
West,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that 
this  city  is  the  home  of  one  of  the 
three  United  States  mints  and  also 
of  the  Twelfth  Federal  Reserve 
Bank. 

Among  the  reasons  apparent  for 
San  Francisco's  phenomenal  indus- 
trial growth  stand  out  prominently 
her  unexcelled  distribution  facilities. 
In  the  first  place,  San  Francisco  is 
squarely  in  the  population  center  of 
the  Pacific  Slope,  which  is  comprised 
of  the  1 1  Western  states.  Then  it  is 
the  terminus  for  the  seven  rail  Unes 
serving  this  section,  besides  being 
the  port  of  call  for  practically  every 
boat  afloat  on  the  Pacific,  and  the 
home  port  for  some  of  the  largest 
steamship  fines. 

CENTRAL  POSITION 

This  central  position  holds  a  great 
advantage,  since  from  San  Francisco 
67%  greater  population  can  be 
reached  at  less  transportation  cost 
than  from  the  cities  of  the  North- 
west, while  84%  greater  number  can 
be  reached  from  here  more  cheaply 
than  from  the  southern  portion  of 
California.     Then   within   the   Bay 


area  itself  68%  greater  number  of 
people  can  be  reached  within  the 
switching  limits  of  San  Francisco 
than  within  the  switching  limits  of 
any  other  Bay  point.  But  the  dis- 
tribution system  of  the  Bay  is  a  unit 
both  in  time  of  delivery  and  its 
charges.  All  outgoing  freight  is 
handled  through  certain  consolida- 
tion points  at  which  freight  from 
both  sides  of  the  Bay  is  assembled  in 
the  same  train,  the  shipments  pro- 
ceeding to  their  destination  together. 

Our  distribution  facilities,  how- 
ever, cannot  be  evaluated  without 
taking  into  account  the  great  Port  of 
San  Francisco,  since  both  the  value 
and  the  tonnage  of  receipts  and  ship- 
ments of  the  port  for  1925  exceeded 
the  figures  of  the  three  other  Pacific 
Coast  ports  combined. 

Here  are  the  figures  that  bear  out 
this  statement : 

Tons  Value 

San  Francisco .  38.S95.634     $4,316,202,029 


Los.Vngeles.  .  .22,444,000        $741,911,000 

Seattle 7.848.000  772,832,000 

Portland 4,199,000  400,000,000 


Total.  .  .34,491.000     $1,914,743,000 

From  the  manufacturers'  stand- 
point the  Port  of  San  Francisco  is 
the  natural  gateway  to  900,000,000 
people,  a  market  which  has  as  yet 
been  hardly  touched  by  California 
manufactured  output. 

DISTRIBUTION  FACILITIES 

Besides  the  excellent  distribution 
facilities,  another  reason  why  the 
five  counties  around  San  Francisco 
Bay  have  experienced  such  phenom- 
enal growth,  a  growth  which  has  at- 
tracted the  attention  of  the  entire 
country,  is  the  invigorating  working 
climate  prevailing  in  this  section. 
The  average  summer  temperature  in 
San  Francisco  is  59.5°;  the  average 
winter  temperature  is  52.4°.  The 
ocean  breezes  continually  sweep 
across  the  city  and  on  to  the  hot  val- 
leys in  the  interior  of  the  state,  and 
as  they  go,  they  produce  a  continual 
freshness  in  the  air  that  makes 
fatigue  due  to  sultry  heat  unknown. 
At  the  same  time,  frozen  pipes  in  the 
winter  are  unheard  of,  not  to  speak 
of  the  many  other  annoyances  ex- 
perienced in  the  factories  of  the  East 
due  to  the  severe  climate,  all  of 
which  are  absent  in  San  Francisco. 

San  Francisco  is  known  widely  as 
a  city  of  diversified  industry.  Often- 
times in  the  East  a  town  or  city  is 
dominated  completely  by  one,  two

^Sacramento  ^aces  TS[e.w  Prosperity 


[THE  Sacramento  Valley 
on  the  whole  has  had  an 
excellent  year  during 
1926.  Conditions  for  ag- 
riculture have  been  good 
and  have  resulted  in  excellent  crops. 
The  Sacramento  region  is  dis- 
tinctive because  of  the  diversifica- 
tion of  its  agricultural  production. 
This  valley,  unlike  other  regions  in 
California,  docs  not  sp<M'i:ilizc  in  any 
single  type  of  .'igriculfural  pnxluct, 
but  includes  within  the  general  area 
almost  every  tyi>e  of  agricultural 
product  grown  in  any  part  of  the 
state.  As  a  result  the  Sacramento 
region,  irrespective  of  the  market 
prices  for  any  particular  product, has 
alwaj's  maintained  an  excellent  rec- 
ord for  sul>8tantial  and  steady  de- 
velopment. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  Sacra- 
mento region  produces  almost  40  per 
cent  of  the  total  value  of  agricultural 
products  of  the  State  of  California, 
and  the  total  value  of  crop  produc- 
tion in  this  region  in  1926  will  be 
close  to  $150,000,000. 

Prices  for  agricultural  products 
for  this  year  in  this  section  of  the 
state  have  been  fair.  Peach  growers, 
with  a  contract  price  of  S40  per 
ton.  will  have  a  splendid  year.  The 
mountain  pear  sections  are  securing 
good  returns  on  an  excellent  crop,

greatly  increased  car  movement  for 
fresh  fruits  during  the  present  year 
and  the  railroads  have  Ijcen  ta.\ed  to 
their  capacity. 

All  of  these  conditions  are  natural- 
ly reflected  in  the  steady  growth  and 
development  of  the  city  of  Sacra- 
mento. No  city  in  the  state  has  a 
more  substantial  basis  for  sound 
prosperity  than  this  Capital  City  of 
California,  and  this  community  is 
maintaining  its  position  as  the  larg- 
est and  most  important  inland  city 
in  California. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  call  atten- 
tion to  some  of  the  outstanding  facts 
relative  to  development  in  Sacra- 
mento. The  following  comparative 
statistics  indicate  the  rapidity  with 
which  the  citj'  has  been  increasing  in 
size  and  wealth :

Sacramento  and  the  Sacramento 
region,  in  spite  of  the  remarkable 
growth  in  the  past  six  j'cars,  are  now 
entering  a  new  era  of  agricultural, 
commercial  and  industrial  develop- 
ment. With  over  50  per  cent  of  the 
water  resources  of  the  state  and 
millions  of  acres  of  fertile  soil,  the 
Sacramento  region  has  the  two  in- 
dispensable factors  for  agricultural 
development  and  in  addition  has  the 
great  ach'antages  of  almost  unlimit- 
ed deposits  of  industrial  minerals,  of 
timber  supplies  and  all  the  other  raw 
materials  which  make  for  industrial 
development. 

The  city  of  Sacramento  has  ex- 
pended $58,000,000  during  the  past 
six  years  in  municipal  improve- 
ments, and  the  county  government 
has  maintained  a  remarkable  record 
of  highway  and  bridge  construction, 
opening  up  new  area  and  making  it 
possil)le  to  develop  more  rapidly  the 
agricultural  possibilities  surrounding  , 
this  commimity. 

Sacramento  is  now  the  most  im- 
portant fruit  and  vegetable  canning 
center  on  the  Coast  and  its  new  de- 
velopments will  be  along  industrial 
and  commercial  Unes  in  order  to 
effectively  meet  the  requirements 
and  needs  of  the  great  agricultural 
empire  which  adjoins  this  city. 

The  city  of  Sacramento  and  the 
Sacramento  region  will  maintain  a 
sane,  substantial  and  steady  growth 
and  development  during  the  years  to 
come  and  all  conditions  point  to  a 
period  of  sound  prosperity.

yi 


n 


HE  following  comprise  a 
few  interesting  items  of 
activity  on  the  part  of 
t  he  San  Francisco  Cham- 
lier  of  Commerce  during 
the  last  thirty  days: 

1.  Important  Industry  Located: 
The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 

Commerce  was  largely  instrumental 
in  securing  for  San  Francisco  the  new 
half-million-dollar  furniture  plant  of 
the  Krocliler  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany. Construction  has  already  been 
started. 

2.  Interstate  Control  of  Motor 
Busses : 

The  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
participated  in  the  hearing  of  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
on  this  subject.  The  meetings  were 
held  at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

3.  Regulation  of  Taxicab  Color 

Schemes : 
The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  actively  participating 
in  a  plan  to  prevent  independent 
taxicab  operators  from  imitating 
the  colors  and  uniforms  of  standard 
taxicab  services.  This  practice  has, 
in  the  past,  been  misleading  and  con- 
fusing to  visitors. 

4.  Distinguished  Visitors  Enter- 
tained: 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
were  hosts  to  Governor  Farrington 
of  Hawaii  and  Dr.  J.  jMorton  Howell, 
United  States  Minister  to  Egj-pt,  on 
August  5th. 

5.  Gas  Tax  Measure  Favored : 
The  proposed  one  cent  gas  tax  in- 
crease measure  which  will  appear  on 
the  November  ballot  as  Proposition 
No.  4  was  unanimously  endorsed  by 
the  Directors  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  at  their  meet- 
ing on  August  26th.  This  is  a  very 
important  measure  not  only  for  San 
Francisco  but  for  all  California. 

6.  Retail  Merchants  Association 

Co-operates : 

The  Retail  Merchants  Association, 
affiliated  with  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  co-operated 
effectively  in  the  preparation  for 
Market  Week,  Furniture  Week  and 
for  [the  retail  fall  openings.  The 
association  has  also  been  helpful  in 
adjusting  cases  of  illegal  taxatioxi 
imposed  on  retail  deliveries  in  the 
Bay  area.  The  Association  has  under 
way  a  plan  for  another  retail  insti- 
tute during  October.

lative session.  This  effective  bureau 
is  maintained  for  the  business  com- 
munity of  San  Francisco. 

9.  Fleet  Made  Welcome: 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  participated  in  the  enter-

ated in  the  southern  part  of  the 
state.  The  Federal  Plan  will  be

November  election  and  is  of  great 
importance  to  the  entire  state. 

11.  State  Highway  Initiative 
Measure  No.  8  Opposed:

Commerce  has  placed  itself  on  record 
as  opposing  the  state  highway 
measure  known  as  Initiative  Meas- 
ure No.  8,  which  is  designed  to  di- 
vide the  income  from  gasoline  tax- 
ation so  that  it  would  be  unfavor- 
able to  San  Franci-sco  and  its 
neighboring  communities  and  would 
appropriate  S.5,000,000  aimually  for 
twelve  years  without  any  definite 
means  for  raising  the  money. 

12.  Maintenance  of  Exhibit  at  State

those  measures  appearing  on  the

c5^emorializing  California  Pioneers 

'ByE.A.  PARSONS,  'Director  ^Promotion  and  ^Publicity,  S'ioneer  Memorial  'Bridge  Commission 


"I  hear  the  tread  of  Pioneers, 
Of  Xations  yet  to  be. 
The  long,  low  wash  of  wares  where 
soon 
Shall  roll  a  human  sea." 

IJHUS  the  poetic  seer,  the 
Ijusiness  prophet,  with 
inward  eye  beheld  the 
(•ominR  age.  But  had  he 
vi.suahze(i  the  hardships, 
the  tragedies,  the  tricks  of  cireum- 
stanoes,  the  travail  accompanying 
the  birth  of  this  new  Nation  in  the 


rush" — all  pioneering,  even  from  the 
Spanish  don  and  padre  to  the 
American  Empire  Builders,  and  the 
present  generation,  still  pioneering, 
trail  blazing  for  "nations  yet  to  be." 

"Shall  old  acquaintance  be  for- 
got?" 

The  citizens  of  Sacramento  and 
neighViorhood  communities  have 
undertaken  to  provide  a  suit- 
able memorial  in  honor  of  "those 
hardy  pioneers  whose  works  pre- 
ceded ours  and  made  it  possible  to 


Pacific  West;  had  hi-  lorc.5nii  tLc 
mad  rush,  the  heartless  usurpation, 
the  belated  recognition  to  which 
those  pioneers  were  to  be  subjected; 
dirge  instead  of  paean  would  have 
been  the  burden  of  his  song. 

The  "human  sea"  surged  across 
plain  and  mountain,  the  prairie 
schooner,  the  covered  and  uncovered 
wagon,  "rolled"  in  ceaseless  proces- 
sion, onward,  ever  on  toward  the 
golden  sunset.  No  poet  vision  in- 
spired those  pioneers.  The  lure  and 
lust  for  gold,  alone  urged  them  on 
and  on  even  as  the  Argonaiit  sailed 
the  Seven  Seas,  braved  the  tempest, 
to  enter  the  Golden  Gate. 

But  the  mysterj-  of  movement 
finally  evolved  a  new  ci\Tlization. 
Hardships  and  privations  were  soon 
forgotten,  merged  into  successful 
accomplishment,  and  as  generations 
succeeded,  progress  prevailed,  wealth 
accumulated.  Wave  after  wave  of 
varj'ing  character  followed  the  "gold 


c\ohr  a  new  civilization  in  the 
Pacific  West." 

The  movement  has  assumed  prac- 
tical form  in  the  proposed  Pioneer 
Memorial  Bridge. 

Permit  to  construct  the  bridge  has 
been  granted  by  the  U.  S.  War  De- 
partment, it  being  specified  as  100 


feet  alx)ve  levee,  five  per  cent  grade, 
single  span  600  feet,  clearing  river 
traffic,  the  long  approaches  sur- 
mounting railroad  grade  crossings, 
with  fifty-foot  roadway  and  ten- 
foot  walkways. 

The  memorial  feature  is  proposed 
as  a  means  of  embellishment  through 
great  arches  at  the  bridge  heads, 
with  surmounting  friezes  symbolical 
of  primitive  overland  and  ocean 
transportation  methods.  These 
should  include  the  Chppcr  Ship,  the 
Covered  Wagon.  Concord  Coach, 
Pony  Express,  Sailor,  Soldier,  Scout, 
the  Indi.in,  the  Spanish  Padre  and 
Don.  the  American  Pioneer  in  his 
various  occupations — trapper, 
trader,  merchant,  miner — a  history 
of  California  in  stone. 

The  pylons  or  marking  points  on 
the  approaches  of  the  bridge  should 
l>e  utilized  as  bases  of  memorial 
talilets  in  bronze,  including  bas- 
relief  sculpture  of  Sutter,  Marshall, 
Huntington,  Crocker,  Hopkins, 
.Stanford  and  other  outstanding  in- 
dividuals; and  the  four  large  inte- 
riors at  the  base  of  the  arches  could 
lie  dedicated  as  museums  of  pioneer 
times,  dating  back  to  the  beginning 
of  history  in  California. 

As  thus  outlined,  a  truly  magnifi- 
fcnt  and  altogether  appropriate 
iiipmorial  is  in  mind,  our  plans  being 
to  combine  the  utilitarian  and  artis- 
tic in  a  broad,  constant,  beautified 
highway  bridge,  without  lift  or  draw. 
the  features  of  embellishment  being 
limited  only  by  the  extent  of  our 
Memorial  Fund. 

Among  the  members  of  the 
Bridge  Association  and  their  friends 
are  Native  Sons  and  Daughters,  the 
Society  of  California  Pioneers,  the 
American  Legion,  Veterans  of  For- 
eign Wars,  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic,  all  service  clubs  and 
ci\-ic  bodies — unanimous   co-opera-

The  health  of  Our  Central  Galleys 


are  stretches  where  an  autoniol)ilist 
may  travel  from  dawn  to  dark,  with 
verdant  orchards,  vineyards,  alfalfa 
or  grain  fields  as  far  as  eye  can  reach 
on  ever}'  side  of  him.  Even  in  the 
cities  through  which  he  passes  there 
are  customarily  shade  trees  in 
avenues  reminding  him  of  the 
orchards  and  gardens  behind  and 
before  him. 

In  many  such  places,  in  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley,  scant  pasturage  for

vailed less  than  fortj'  years  ago. 

The  railway  opened  this  country, 
and  the  railroad  makers  put  towns 
on  the  map.  In  some  cases  towns 
that  are  now  cities  had  no  existenee 
save  as  marks  upon  the  maps  drawn 
by  these  railroad  makers. 

But  irrigation  ditches  were  dug 
and  the  (Icsert  blossomed.  There- 
after in  the  nineties,  the  hj'dro- 
electric  power  pioneers  came  into 
the  valley  and  taught  the  farmer 
how  to  pump  water  into  his  fields  by 
means  of  that  power. 

The  abundance  of  this  same  power 
suggested  and  facilitated  the  de- 
velopment of  electric  railroads. 
These  pushed  out  their  lines  as  the 
steam  railroad  had  done,  and  estab- 
lished new  towns,  new  settlements. 

Later  on,  the  automobile  and  the 
motor  truck  came  on  the  scene  and 
prompted  the  construction  of  new 
roads  over  which  the  produce  of  the 
valley  farms,  vineyards  and  orchards 
could  quickly  and  economical!}'  be 
brought  to  railhead  or  waterside. 

Thus,  within  the  last  twenty 
years,  with  the  farther  development 
of  transportation  systems  and  hydro- 
electric power,  the  great  valleys 
were  launched  upon  an  era  of  profit- 
able development  and  social  prog- 
ress such  as  nowhere  else  aforetime 
has  this  world  ever  seen. 

In  no  other  country,  in  no  other 
region  on  earth,  is  there  any  equal 
area  of  land  so  rich  in  its  productive- 
ness, with  a  cUmate  so  benign,  and 
an  environment  so  attractive,  where 
the  amenities  of  farm  work  and 
general  existence  are  so  enhanced  as 
they  are  by  the  ubiquitous  abun- 
dance of  cheap  and  matcliless  light, 
power,  and  transportation  that  pre- 
vails in  the  great  central  valleys  of 
California. 

The  large  and  the  small  farmer 
each  alike  profits  by  this  amazing 
system.  The  dams  that  are  built  to 
hoard  the  water  of  the  Sierras  for 
his  irrigation  ditches  also  supply  the 
power  that  pumps  that  water  into 
bis  irrigation  ditches  or  into  his 
domestic    supply    tanks    for    him, 


lights  his  house  and  barn,  drives  the 
machinery  with  which  every  valley 
farm  is  now  equipped,  and  reduces 
in  countless  other  ways  the  drudgery 
of  agriculture  in  other  less  favored 
places. 

On  either  side  of  this  valley,  but 
chiefly  in  the  foothills  of  the  Sierras 
on  its  eastern  borders,  are  some  of 
the  most  enchanting  beauty  spots  in 
the  world.  There  are  forests  of 
matchless  trees,  wonder  parks  like 
the  Yosemite,  Mariposa  Grove, 
Sequoia  and  Grant  parks.  There  are 
streams  and  lakes  of  incomparable 
beauty,  and  vast  areiLs  of  forest 
primeval  in  which  the  hunters  of  the 
world  find  a  paradise. 

There  are  places  in  the  valleys 
where,  in  winter  time,  one  may 
gather  roses  and  oranges  after  break- 
f:ist,  and  drive  out  and  play  a  game 
of  snowball  before  noon.  There  is 
through  it  all  an  atmosphere  of 
prosperity,  comfort  and  highly  de- 
veloped social  civilization  such  as  is 
practically  unknown  and  impo.ssible 
in  the  otlier  agricultural  regions  of 
the  world. 

In  a  country  town  of  the  valleys, 
on  the  occasion  of  some  holiday  or 
marketing  day,  one  may  see  parked 
more  automobiles  than  could  be 
counted  in  a  European  city  of 
twenty  times  its  population  in  the 
course  of  a  month. 

It  is,  so  far  as  it  is  developed,  a 
rich,  fat  country,  populated  by 
healthy  and  happy  people,  whose 
children  are  probably  the  finest  and 
handsomest  children  ever  bred  in 
any  clime  or  at  any  period,  and 
whose  palatial  schools,  that  are 
dotted  through  every  cultivated 
section  of  the  valley,  stand  out  as 
landmarks  along  the  highways  to 
amaze  and  delight  the  observers 
from  every  other  land. 

These  and  the  high  towers  of  the

electric  power  lines  that  net  the 
skies  are — the  verdant  vineyards, 
fields  and  orchards  aside — the  dis- 
tinguishing marks  of  the  great 
valleys. 

There  are  also,  of  course,  the 
homes  and  the  farms  and  the  towns 
and  cities  with  their  asphalt  or  con- 
crete roads  and  streets,  their  shade 
trees,  their  banks,  theaters,  packing 
plants,  factories,  and  all  the  rest  of 
it.  But  the  things  that  necessarily 
most  impress  the  visitor  from  else- 
where are  the  power  lines  and  the 
schoolhouses  and  the  automobiles — 
the  facilities  for  power  distribution, 
education  and  transport  that  are  the 
foundations  of  the  material  pros- 
perity and  social  development  of  the 
valleys. 

In  this  article  it  is  proposed  only 
to  give  a  resume  and  outhne  of  the 
products  and  development  of  the 
valleys  themselves,  and  not  to  at- 
tempt any  comment  upon  or  de- 
scription of  the  industries  or  other 
resources  of  the  greater  cities  and 
the  towns  that  flourish  within  these 
valleys.  It  should  be  pointed  out, 
however,  that  as  a  result  of  the  en- 
vironing agricultural  development. 


many  entirely  new  towns  have 
sprung  into  existence  during  the 
past  thirty  years  while  several  of  the 
older  towns  and  cities  have  ex- 
panded with  unprecedented  vigor. 

Sacramento,  which  had  a  popula- 
tion of  about  22,000  in  1885,  has 
now  a  population  of  92,000:  Stock- 
ton has  expanded  from  1.5,000  to 
51,000  during  the  same  period; 
Chico  from  3,500  to  10,000;  Modesto 
from  1,700  to  11,500;  Bakersfield 
from  800  to  27,500;  Fresno  from 
1,000  to  70,000,  and  so  on. 

Stockton,  as  the  home  of  the 
caterpillar  tractor,  has  become  one 
of  the  great  aids  to  agriculture  and 
general  development  throughout  the 
world.  Bakersfield,  as  the  metropohs 
of  the  oil  fields  of  Kern  County, 
figures  largely  in  the  productive 
economics  of  California,  and  is  also 
of  influence  in  world-commerce  as 
being  the  focal  center  of  cotton  pro- 
duction at  the  southern  end  of  the 
San  Joaquin  ^^alIey. 

Sacramento,  as  the  capital  of  the 
state,  and  the  startLag  place  of  the 
miners  for  the  Diggings  in  1849,  was 
always  a  city  of  importance.  But  it 
has  been  as  one  of  the  great  markets 


and  distributing  centers  of  the  pro- 
duce of  the  valleys,  and  especially 
that  of  the  Delta,  that  its  recent 
great  development  has  been 
achieved. 

Such  varieties  of  soil  and  climate 
are  found  along  the  length  of  the 
valley  that  its  products  vary  con- 
siderably. In  Tehama  County  at 
the  extreme  north,  conditions  are 
materially  different  from  those  in 
Kern  County  at  the  extreme  south 
or  from  those  that  obtain  in  the 
Delta  region,  about  midways.  Te- 
hama County  is  a  good  general 
farming  region,  and  aU  deciduous 
fruits  and  vines  grow  there;  but  its 
principal  products  are  grain,  hay, 
alfalfa,  sheep,  hogs  and  cattle. 
About  fifty  thousand  head  of  cattle, 
beef  and  dairy,  six  thousand  horses 
and  mules,  and  eleven  thousand 
swine  are  raised  there.  A  quarter  of 
a  million  sheep  find  pasture  in  the 
foothills  adjoining  the  valley  in  that 
county. 

In  the  upper  half  of  the  Sacra- 
mento Valley,  the  eastern  side  is  the 
better  fruit  country.  The  western 
side  of  the  river  is  better  adapted  to

of  Arkansas  and  Texas,  respectively 
the  next  two  largest  producers.  All 
this  valuable  crop  is  raised  in  the 
Sacramento  Valley,  Butte,  Glenn, 
Colusa  and  Yolo  counties  being  the 
chief  producers.  The  California  rice 
crop  in  1925  was  valued  at  more 
than  S8,000,000.  This  year  it  is 
about  twice  as  large,  and  its  value 
should  be  about  S16,300,000. 

There  are  43,000  acres  of  potatoes 
growing  in  California  this  year,  and 
this  area  is  expected  to  produce 
nearly  6,000,000  bushels  of  potatoes. 


grain.  Thus  Colusa  and  Glenn 
counties  are  great  grain  regions,  and 
formerly  produced  the  greatest 
wheat  crops  in  the  state.  Thirty 
years  ago  one  ranch  alone,  that  of 
Dr.  Hugh  Glenn,  after  whom  Glenn 
County  is  named,  raised  fifty  thou- 
sand acres  of  wheat  on  his  property 
along  the  Sacramento  River.  The 
fields  stretched  for  nearly  seventeen 
miles  along  the  river  bank  and 
carried  150  miles  of  fencing.  In  those 
days  the  annual  exports  of  Califor- 
nia wheat  usually  exceeded  700,000 
tons,  and  sometimes  approached 
1,000,000  tons.  This  year  the  total 
harvest  will  be  about  350,000  tons, 
from  653.000  acres.  Of  this  crop, 
about  230,000  tons,  or  about  66  per 
cent,  will  be  from  the  central  valleys. 

But  the  barley  crop,  which  is 
estimated  at  more  than  770,000  tons 
— more  than  double  the  wheat  crop 
— will  nearly  all  be  harvested  from 
the  valleys  of  the  Sacramento  and 
the  San  Joaquin. 

The  California  wheat  crop  in  1925 
was  valued  at  nearly  .517.000,000; 
the  barley  crop  at  nearly  .§24,200,- 
000.  This  year  the  wheat  crop  is 
slightly  larger  than  in  1925  and  the 
barley  crop  slightly  smaller.  At 
recently  current  (August  20)  market 
rates — (SlAo  a  bushel  for  wheat  and 
SI. 20  for  barley)  the  California 
wheat  crop  this  vear  should  be  worth 
about  .517,400.000  and  the  barlev 
crop  about  §38.600,000. 

More  than  a  million  acres  of 
barley  are  now  harvested  in  CaU- 
fornia,  chiefly  from  Colusa,  Glenn, 
San  Joaquin,  Solano,  Tehama,  Sut- 
ter, Yolo  and  Stanislaus  counties. 

As  a  result  of  the  stupendous  and 
cheap  production  of  barley  within 


the  stale.  California  has  developed 
into  what  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
greatest  hog-raising  regions  in  the 
republic.  When  the  great  Eastern 
packing  companies  first  established 
their  Pacific  Coast  plants  in  Cah- 
fornia  about  thirty  years  ago,  they 
were  faced  with  the  condition  that 
California  hogs  were  too  "soft"  for 
curing  purposes. 

In  recent  years,  however,  the 
process  of  hardening  California  hogs 
on  barley  has  been  economically 
developed.  The  result  is  that  Cah- 
fornia  hogs  can  be  cured  and 
pickled  to  greater  advantage  than 
most  of  the  corn-fed  hogs  of  the 
Middle  Western  states,  and  an 
enormous  hog  industrj'  has  been 
developed.  There  are  now  about 
470,000  swine,  valued  at  about 
82.000.000,  in  California.  About 
220,000  of  the.se,  valued  at  about 
.5900,000,  are  in  the  Sacramento  and 
San  Joaquin  valleys. 

The  California  rice  crop  this  vear 
is  estimated  8,370,000  bushels  ra'ised 
on  150,000  acres.  Ne.xt  to  Louisi- 
ana's crop,  this  is  the  largest  in  the 
United  States,  and  exceeds  the  crops 


About  60  per  cent  of  all  these  are 
from  the  Delta  region,  and  another 
10  per  cent  at  least  from  other  sec- 
tions of  the  great  valley.  Last  year 
the  potato  crop  of  this  state  was 
6,500,000  bushels,  and  was  valued 
at  more  than  S13.000.000. 

Beans  are  one  of  the  important 
crops  of  Cahfomia.  In  1924  the  bean 
crop  was  valued  at  more  than  S18,- 
000,000,  but  prices  have  fallen  con- 
siderably since  then.  But  this  year, 
next  to  Michigan,  which  is  expected 
to  produce  about  6,134,000  bushels 
from  614,000  acres,  California  leads 
the  United  States  with  an  esti- 
mated crop  of  4,941,000  bushels 
from  305,000  acres.  About  one-third 
of  this  acreage  is  in  the  San  Joaquin 
Valley.  California,  it  will  be  seen, 
produces  sixteen  bushels  of  beans  to 
the  acre;  Michigan,  ten. 

Tomatoes  are  not  as  important  a 
crop  as  beans;  nevertheless  they  are 
very  important.  Last  year  California 
had  about  41,000  acres  in  tomatoes. 
These  yielded  a  crop  estimated  at 
the  value  of  about  57,700,000,  about 
54,900,000  worth  of  canning  toma-

toes,  and  about  82,800.000  for  table 
use.  About  92  per  cent  of  these  were 
raised  in  the  Sacramento  and  San 
Joaquin  valleys.  This  year  the 
average  is  about  42,000  acres,  nearly 
all  in  the  same  valleys,  and  the  out- 
put will  probably  be  better  than  in 
1925. 

Half  the  sweet  potato  crop  of  the 
state,  this  year  estimated  at  about 
1,360,000  bushels,  is  raised  in  the 
central  valleys.  Last  j'ear  the  crop  of 
1,100,000  bushels  was  valued  at 
nearly  81,900,000. 

The  valleys  also  produce  about  70 
per  cent  of  the  onions  raised  in  the 
state.  This  amounted  in  1925  to 
2,180,000  bushels,  valued  at  §2,670,- 
000  from  7,200  acres.  In  the  Delta 
region  alone  this  year  there  are  5,500 
acres  of  late  onions;  besides  thus 
there  were  about  1,000  acres  in  Kern 
County. 

Cotton  is  a  comparatively  new 
crop,  and  promises  to  be  a  very  im- 
portant crop,  in  California.  Of  the 
172,000  acres  of  cotton,  producing 
122,328  bales,  or  58,500,000  pounds 
of  fiber,  raised  in  California  in  1925, 
96,600  acres  in  the  San  Joaquin  and 
3,500  acres  in  the  Sacramento  val- 
ley, produced  80,352  bales,  or 
38,460,000  pounds.  This  year  140,- 
000  acres  are  cultivated  to  cotton  in 
these  valleys. 

It  is,  however,  in  the  fruit  and 
grape  crops  of  the  state,  and  of 
America,  that  the  valleys  of  the  San 
Joaquin  and  Sacramento  rivers 
most  hea\Tly  predominate,  and  this 
aside  from  their  importance  as  the 
locaUties  whence  the  more  populous 
centers  of  the  East  receive  important 
fuppUes  of  such  early  season  vege- 
tables as  asparagus,  spinach,  cauli- 
flower, new  potatoes,  lettuce,  canta^ 
loupes  and  so  forth. 

Cantaloupes,  though  domestically 
considered  as  a  fruit,  are  agricul- 
turaUj'  classified  as  vegetables.  CaU- 
fomia  produced  more  than  89,800,- 
000  worth  of  cantaloupes  in  1925. 
The  earlier  and  greater  crop  of  these 
was  produced  in  the  Imperial  Valley, 
but  the  later  output  of  the  San 
Joaquin  'S'allev  was  valued  at  nearly 
81,200,000.  The  lettuce  crop  of  the 
Imperial  ^'allev  was  worth  the  enor- 
mous sum  of '  88,700,000  in  1925. 
The  lettuce  from  the  Central  valleys 
was  only  worth  ^,000,000;  but  the 
amount  produced  was  twice  as  large. 
The  added  value  of  the  Imperial 
Valley  product  was  because  it  ai>- 
peared  on  the  market  earlier.  The 
Imperial  ^'alley  hes  below  the  sea 
level,  and  has  a  climate  warmer  than 
the  central  valle3's.   To  those  ac-

customed  to  normal  climatic  and 
certain  other  conditions  of  environ- 
ment, however,  the  amenities  of 
agricultural  life  are  more  attractive 
in  the  latter  region. 

As  for  fruits — grapes,  peaches, 
apricots,  apples,  plums,  and  so  forth, 
as  well  as  almonds  and  walnuts — the 
central  valleys  produce  approxi- 
mately 81  per  cent  of  the  grapes  and 
40  per  cent  of  all  the  other  fruits  har- 
vested in  the  state. 

Japan  makes  a  festival  of  its 
cherry-blossom  season  during  the 
spring  of  each  year.  The  Santa 
Clara  Valley  can  eclipse  that  with 
its  plum  blossoms.  But  there  is 
nothing  to  eclipse  a  drive  through 
the  big  central  valleys  when  the 
peach  blossoms  are  abloom,  to 
see  the  endless  dazzle  of  more 
than  120,000  acres  of  peach  trees 
decked  in  their  pale  pink  flowers.  In 
the  valley,  all  through,  there  are 
nearly  130,000  acres  of  peach  or- 
chards. The  total  peach  crop  for  the 
state  last  year  was  390,000  tons, 
valued  at  $14,430,000.  More  than 
§11,500,000  of  this  crop  was  raised 
in  the  central  valleys,  the  bulk  of  it 
in  the  region  extending  from  Sutter 
County  in  the  lower  Sacramento 
Valley  to  Tulare  in  the  San  Joaquin. 

As  well  as  these,  there  are  thou- 
sands and  tens  of  thousands  of 
acres  in  pears,  apricots,  plums, 
prunes,  apples  and  cherries. 

In  the  San  Joaquin  also  are  the 
great  fig  orchards  of  the  state.  These 
cover  more  than  40.000  acres  in 
Merced,  Fresno,  and  Tulare  counties 
alone.  This  comparatively  new  but 
import-ant  and  gromng  industry  has 
its  hub  in  this  section  of  the  San 
Joaquin,  where  90  per  cent  of  the 
bearing  fig  trees  in  the  state  were 
harvested  in  1925,  and  produced 
9,500  tons  of  fruit  valued  at  more 
than  .11,000,000. 

There  were  then  35,000  acres  of 
bearing  fig  trees  and  24,500  acres  of 
non-bearing  fig  trees  in  the  state. 
Thirty-two  thousand  of  the  bearing 
and  21,000  acres  of  the  non-bearing 
trees  were  in  the  San  Joaquin  Val- 
ley, and  the  fig  acreage  there  is  being 
expanded  more  rapidly  than  any 
where  else  in  the  countrj-. 

Citrus  fruit  culture  in  California 
is  customarily  associated  with  the 
southern  country  below  the  Teha- 
chapi  Pass,  and  it  is  not  generalh' 
known  that  oranges  and  lemons,  and 
even  grapefruit,  are  commercially 
cultivated  north  of  the  Sierra  Madre 
Range.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  one 
quarter  of  the  bearing  acreage  of 
oranges  in  the  state  hes  in  the  San 
Joaquin  and  Sacramento  valleys, 
two-thirds  of  this  being  in  Tulare 
County  where  more  than  36,000 
acres  of  oranges  were  harvested  last 


year.  This  county,  next  to  Imperial 
and  San  Bernardino,  respectively, 
ranks  third  among  the  orange  pro- 
ducing counties  of  the  state,  and  has 
more  than  double  the  acreage  of 
Riverside  Count}'  (17,000  acres) 
that  ranks  fourth.  Fresno  also  has 
nearly  4,500  acres  of  oranges;  while 


Tulare,  with  nearly  1,200  acres  of 
grapefruit,  ranks  second  after  San 
Bernardino  (2.200  acres)  and  has  21 
per  cent  of  all  the  grapefruit  acreage 
(5,700  acres)  in  the  state. 

There  is  also  in  the  Sacramento 
Valley,  chiefly  in  Butte,  Glenn  and

as  the  Northern  Citrus  Belt,  where 
oranges  of  exceptional  quality  are 
raised  and  come  into  bearing  earlier 
than  the  southern  oranges.  This  area 
grows  about  4,200  acres  of  oranges 
as  well  as  about  1,000  acres  of 
lemons  and  grapefruit. 

In  the  same  region  of  the  Sacra-

however,  has  the  largest  orchards. 
These  extend  over  6,400  acres.  The 
total  olive  acreage  in  the  state  is 
32,000  acres,  of  which  about  27,000 
acres  are  in  bearing.  Of  this  total,  72 
per  cent,  or  22,500  acres  are  in  the 
central  valleys.  18,800  acres  were 
in  bearing  last  year,  3,700  acres  non- 
bearing.  The  California  crop  of 
14,000  tons  was  valued  at  S840,000. 
This  year  the  crop  will  not  be  so 
large. 

The  greatest  cantaloupe  produc- 
ing area.s  of  California  are  the  Im- 
perial \'alley,  which  sends  out  the 
early  crop,  and  then  the  San  Joaquin 
^'alley.  The  Imperial  Valley  raised 
35,300  acres  of  cantaloupes  this  year 
as  compared  with  27,600  acres  in 
1925.  The  San  Joaquin  has  about 
8,000  acres,  5,600  in  the  Turlock 
district  near  the  borders  of  Stanis- 
laus and  Merced  counties,  1,800 
acres  in  Kern  and  Tulare  counties, 
the  rest  scattered.  Turlock,  now  a 
prosperous  and  lovelv  city  of  about 
5,000  inhabitants,  did  not  have  150 
people  residing  within  a  ten-mile 
radius  of  its  depot  twenty  years  ago. 

North  of  Turlock  is  Modesto,  the 
capital  of  Stanislaus  County,  but 
now  celebrated  as  the  hub  and 
center  of  the  California  dairying 
industry.  Twenty  years  ago  all  this 
district  was  a  wheat  field  of  more 
than  80,000  acres,  with  the  produc- 
tion poor.  Thereafter  the  LaGrange 
and  Don  Pedro  irrigation  and  power 
dams  were  built,  and  the  semi-arid 
wheat  fields  were  turned  into  one  of 
the  most  verdant  spots  in  the  world. 
Vineyards,  peach  orchards,  and 
alfalfa  started  this  verdure.  There- 
after industry  expanded.  Poultry 
and  dairying  were  developed,  as  well 
as  orchards  of  every  description. 

The  alfalfa  crops  were  so  stupen- 
dous that  the  county  was  exporting 
it  in  large  quantities.  Within  the 
last  few  years,  however,  the  dairy 
industry  has  so  developed  that 
Modesto  now  has  to  import  alfalfa 
from  other  districts.  And  Modesto 
packs  and  exports  more  butter, 
cheese,  canned  milk  and  other  dairy 
products  than  any  other  city  in  the 
state. 

This  year  Stanislaus  County  has 
about  39,000  milking  cows  and  9,000 
heifers.  Merced,  the  adjacent  county, 
has  about  37,000  milk  cows  and 
7,000  heifers.  Tulare,  Fresno,  San 
Joaquin  and  Kings  are  also  great 
dairying  counties,  and  the  deep  but 
vivid  green  expanses  of  alfalfa  stand 
out  conspicuously  among  the  equally 
verdant  but  quite  differently  hued 
green  swaths  of  orchards  and  vine- 
yards all  along  the  valley.

What  the  Chamber  Does  in  Washington 


%  C.  B. 

Washington  ''Representative  San 

flHE  Washington  Bureau 
of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce 
had  a  busy  winter  and 
summer,  with  its  activi- 
ties ranging  from  investigations  into 
Bridge-the-Bay  plans,  proposed  har- 
bor improvements,  presenting  the 
great  need  for  new  pubhc  buildings, 
taking  up  business  problems  of  San 
Francisco  commercial  interests,  to 
straightening  out  legal  tangles  in- 
volving unfortunate  inmiigrants. 

Because  of  its  financial  and  com- 
mercial supremacy — a  fact  generally 
recognized  in  Washington  —  San 
Francisco  probably  has  more  inter- 
ests at  stake  in  the  National  Capital 
than  has  any  other  city  west  of  the 
Mississippi.  Scarcely  a  day  passes 
but  that  one  or  more  new  problems 
arise  needing  investigations.  Some 
require  but  a  few  minutes,  others 
may  occupy  days,  but  all  need  to  be 
gone  into  thoroughly. 

The  Washington  Bureau  is  main- 
tained primarily  for  information 
purposes.  It  keeps  the  Chamber  ad- 
vised of  developments  in  legislation, 
of  departmental  ruhngs  affecting 
San  Francisco  interests,  and  also 
keeps  officials  of  the  Government  in- 
formed of  conditions  in  San  Fran- 
cisco so  that  their  decisions  may  be 
made  with  full  information  at  hand. 
The  Bureau  co-operates  with  the 
two  Senators  and  the  members  of 
Congress  from  California,  aiding 
them  wherever  possible  and  working 
through  them  to  accomplish  the  re- 
sults it  obtains. 

San  Francisco  Harbor  Improve- 
ments 
Because  Nature  was  bountiful  in 
the  beginning,  the  Government  has 
spent  less  money  on  San  Francisco 
Harbor  than  on  any  other  of  the 
great  harbors.  A  little  dredging 
around  the  piers,  a  pinnacle  or  two 
blasted  away  and  some  dredging  on 
the  Oakland  side  constitute  about 
the  only  improvements  made  in  San 
Francisco  Harbor.  The  Government 
is  now  engaged  in  dredging  a  channel 
outside  of  the  harbor  over  the  bar 
which  will  provide  a  depth  of  forty 
feet  at  low  water.  Within  the  last 
few  weeks  Army  engineers  have 
ordered  a  survey  of  the  cost  of  pro- 
viding a  channel  forty  feet  deep  from 
the  Golden  Gate  down  as  far  as  Mis- 
sion Rock  in  the  vicinity  of  China 
Basin.  For  most  of  the  way  the 
channel  will  be  much  deeper  than

forty  feet  and  is  today,  but  when  the 
project  is  completed  all  pinnacles 
and  shoals  will  have  lieen  ehminated 
to  the  forty-foot  depth,  thus  giving 
San  Francisco  as  deep  a  harbor  as 
New  York.  Further  Congressional 
action  will  not  be  necessary  in  the 
future  on  this  project  except  to  make 
the  necessary  appropriations. 

San  Francisco  Bay  Bridges 

The  Washington  Bureau  has  fol- 
lowed closely  and  has  kept  the  offi- 
cers and  directors  of  the  Chamber 
informed  of  every  development  in 
the  various  plans  for  bridging  San 
Francisco  Bay.  It  has  attended  con- 
ferences between  sponsors  of  the 
projects  and  Army  and  Navy  officials. 

Islais  Cree\  Project 

Co-operation  was  extended  to 
Supervisor  Welch  and  the  California 
delegation  during  the  consideration 
of  this  project  by  the  Board  of  Elngi- 
neers  for  Rivere  and  Harbore  and  by 
the  House  Rivers  and  Harbors  Com- 
mittee. The  negotiations  were  car- 
ried out  successfully,  the  Govern- 


ment agreeing  to  pay  a  larger  share 
of  the  cost  than  had  originally  been 
planned,  with  the  result  that  San 
Francisco  will  have  room  for  new 
piers  and  docks,  much  needed  in  the 
expansion  of  its  shipping.

we  find  they  have  260,000  milking 
cows  and  70,000  heifers;  that  is  to 
say  43  per  cent  of  the  cows  and  48 
per  cent  of  the  heifers,  or  44  per  cent 
of  all  the  milking  cattle  in  the  state.

Almost  similar  condition,?  apply 
in  the  beef  cattle  industry.  Exclusive 
of  heifers,  there  are  about  1,090,000 
beef  cattle;  cows,  bulls,  steers  and 
calves,  in  California.  About  425,000 
of  these,  or  40  per  cent,  are  in  the 
central  valleys.  About  260,000  of 
these  latter  are  in  the  San  Joaquin. 
Kern  County  alone  has  more  than 
80,000. 

More  than  123,000  of  the  302,000 
horses  in  the  state  (total  value 
823,000,000)  and  more  than  2,000,- 
000  of  the  3,000,000  sheep  in  the 
state  (valued  at  $32,000,000)  are  in 
the  seventeen  counties  comprised  in 
the  two  valleys;  85,000  of  the  horses 
are  in  the  San  Joaquin  and  1,200,000 
of  the  sheep  are  in  the  Sacramento 
Valley  counties. 

It  is,  however,  as  the  vineyard  of 
America  that  the  San  Joaquin  stands 
supreme.  In  Fresno  County  alone, 
there  are  182,000  acres  of  raisin 
grapes,  and  50,000  acres  of  wine  and 
table  grapes.  More  than  360  square 
miles  of  vineyards,  or  nearly  four 
times  the  acreage  of  all  the  prunes  in 
the  whole  Santa  Clara  Valley. 

In  the  other  seven  counties  of  the 
San  Joaquin,  there  are  another 
270,000  acres  of  vineyards,  86,000 
acres  of  which  are  in  Tulare  County. 
The  whole  valley  contains  more  than 
half  a  million  acres  of  vines,  or 
nearly  800  square  miles  of  vineyards. 
If  we  add  to  this  area  the  41,000 
acres  of  vines  in  the  Sacramento 
Valley,  we  get  an  area  of  850  square 
miles  of  vineyards  in  the  central 
valleys.  This  is  80  per  cent  of  the 
total" acreage  of  vines  in  the  State  of 
California. 

Last  year,  CaUfornia  produced 
180,000  tons  of  dried  raisins  valued 
at  S14,400,000;  more  than  700,000 
tons  of  table  grapes  valued  at  more 
than  817,220,000;  and  395,000  tons 
of  wine  grapes  valued  at  more  than 
822,900,000.  The  total  crop  was 
valued  at  more  than  840,100,000,  of 
which  more  than  $32,000,000  was 
from  the  central  valleys.  This  year 
the  crop  promises  to  be  slightly 
larger  than  in  1925. 

It  would  be  impossible  adequately 
to  describe  in  the  course  of  one 
magazine  article  even  a  tithe  of  the 
other  various  enterprise  that  con- 
tribute to  the  prosperity  and  prog- 
ress of  this  unique  region.  But,  from 
the  facts  and  figures  above  set  forth, 
some  concept  may  be  gleaned  as  to 
the  magnitude  of  opportunity  these 
great  valleys  afford,  the  great  part 
they  now  play,  and  the  greater 
destinies  they  are  ordained  to  fulfill 
in  the  development  of  California.

AN  FRANCISCO  is  the

Pacific  metropolis  of  the 
richest  nation  the  world 
has  ever  known;  it  is  already  the 
second  port  of  the  Western  Hemi- 
sphere in  tonnage  and  value  of  its 
commerce.  There  are  more  millions 
of  people,  more  miles  of  shore  line, 
more  bilUons  of  potential  commerce 
of  which  San  Francisco  is  the  un- 
disputed capital  than  can  be  claimed 
by  any  other  port. 

A  Greater  San  Francisco  will  be 
the  greatest  seaport  and  industrial 
center  the  world  has  ever  known  be- 
cause of  its  central  position  in  rela-

tial commerce  yet  undreamed  of.

as  it  is  now  plaimed,  is  an  evolution 
from  a  first  effort  to  find  a  satis- 
factory industrial-plant  location  on 
San  Francisco  Bay,  to  a  realization 
of  the  dire  need  for  a  modern  indus- 
trial center  having  deep-water  faciU- 
ties,  and  finally  to  the  conception  of 
Port  San  Francisco  as  it  is  now 
planned  and  which  engineers  and 
architects  believe  a  most  compre- 
hensive, scientifically  planned  and 
truly  modern  industrial  port  and 
city  development. 

The  influence  of  this  project  on 
the  industrial  and  commercial  future 
of  the  whole  San  Francisco  Bay  dis- 
trict and  the  general  prosperity 
which  necessarily  accompanies  a 
highly  organized  industrial  and  com- 
mercial activity,  is  little  reahzed. 

A  brief  explanation  of  the  out- 
standing features  of  Port  San  Fran- 
cisco may  serve  to  introduce  the 
project  to  business  men,industriaUsts 
and  executives. 

This  project  is  located  about 
twenty  rniles  southerly  from  Market 
Street  on  the  west  shore  of  San 
Francisco  Bay  and  on  the  deep-water 
channel  of  the  bay.  It  includes 
about  4,500  acres  of  land,  with  two 
and  a  half  miles  frontage  on  San 
Francisco  Bay  and  ex-tending  to  the 
main  line  of  the  Southern  Pacific 
Railroad,  and  with  a  hberal  frontage 
on  the  county  road  and  the  present 
state  highway.  The  route  of  the 
Bay  Shore  Boulevard  will  pass 
through  the  property  for  a  distance 
of  twelve  thousand  feet. 

The  dredging  contract  already  let 
provides  for  the  handling  of  appro.xi- 
mately  twenty  million  cubic  yards  of 
material,  which  will  create  fifty 
thousand  lineal  feet  of  wharfage  on 
thirty  feet  of  water.  This  develop- 
ment will  make  available  almost  one 
thousand  acres  of  industrial  prop- 


erty, filled  to  a  proper  engineering 
grade,  no  part  of  which  will  be  more 
than  twelve  hundred  feet  from  deep 
water.  This  industrial  acreage  will 
be  served  by  industrial  high- 
ways and  belt-line  railroad  and  will 
have  every  provision  for  adequate 
freight,  express  and  transportation 
service  ancl  public  utility  service. 

The  city  of  Port  San  Francisco 
will  be  built  on  several  hundred 
acres  of  land  lying  between  the 
boulevards.  The  plan  design  for  the 
whole  project  is  being  made  by 
Harland  Bartholemew,  a  nationally 
famous  city  planning  engineer,  and 
every  provision  by  the  most  compe- 
tent experts  and  engineers  will  be 
made  to  the  end  that  the  city  and 
port  development  shall  be  a  model 
in  size,  design,  equipment  and 
efficiency. 

A  remarkable  combination  of  nat- 
ural and  climatic  conditions  repre- 
sented by  location,  physical  features, 
the  great  acreage  owned,  the  perma- 
nent deep-water  channels  and  the 
outstanding  position  of  San  Fran- 
cisco as  an  inclustrial  and  commercial 
port  serves  to  make  this  project  in- 
comparable in  point  of  desirability,

YOUR  FUTURE  NEEDS  PROTECTION 

If  there  is  even  a  possibility  that  the  normal  increase  of  your 
business  will  make  additional  space  requisite  for  manufac- 
turing purposes,  if  obsolete  buildings  make  a  move  desirable, 
or  if  you  plan  to  build  when  your  present  lease  expires, 
QET  THE  PROPERTY  "tiOW 

Conveniently  located  and  readily  accessible  manufacturing 
sites,  particularly  spur  track  properties,  are  not  only  increas- 
ing rapidly  in  value  but  are  also  becoming  more  and  more 
difficult  to  obtain.  Zoning  restrictions  intensify  this  situation. 
Industrial  property  within  the  City  limits  of  San  Francisco 
cannot  possibly  decrease  in  value.  On  the  contrary,  the 
surprisingly  small  number  of  available  sites  of  appreciable 
size,  especially  sites  on  firm  foundation  and  with  spur  track 
facilities,  makes  an  investment  in  this  class  of  property 
remarkably  safe  and  highly  desirable  for  the  manufacturer.

Redwood  City  Harbor 

A  survey  of  Redwood  City  Harbor 
improvements  was  ordered  and  is 
about  completed  following  negotia- 
tions carried  on  by  the  Congressional 
delegation  with  which  this  bureau 
co-operated.  This  bureau  had  sev- 
eral conferences  with  the  Board  of 
Engineers  for  Rivers  and  Harljors  in 
behalf  of  the  Redwood  City  project. 

Commercial  Survey 

After  months  of  negotiation  con- 
ducted by  officers  of  the  Chamber 
and  the  Washington  Bureau,  the 
Department  of  Commerce  agreed  to 
prepare  a  commercial  survey  of 
southwestern  United  States,  which 
will  be  centered  in  San  Francisco. 
The  southeastern  survey,  which  was 
centered  at  Atlanta,  Georgia,  has 
just  been  finished  and  has  proved  to 
be  of  great  benefit  to  manufacturers 
and  jobbers  in  that  field.  More  than 
a  year  will  be  required  in  the  south- 
west survey  and  when  finished  it  is 
hoped  that  the  San  Francisco  field  of 
commercial  influence  can  be  con- 
siderably e.vtended. 

Trade  Commissioners  in  Latin 
America  and  the  Orient 

The  Washington  representatives 
of  the  Los  Angeles,  Portland,  Seattle 
and  San  Francisco  Chambers  of 
Commerce,  together  with  the  Con- 
gressional delegations  from  the  Coast 
states,  combined  their  efforts  to  ob- 
tain an  increase  in  the  appropriations 
for  the  Department  of  Commerce  so 
that  additional  trade  commissioners 
could  be  estabhshed  in  Latin  Amer- 
ica and  the  Orient.  The  effort  was 
successful,  with  the  result  that  five 
and  possibly  si.x  new  American  com- 
missioners will  be  established  in 
these  two  fields,  all  of  whom  will  de- 
vote themselves  to  the  development 
and  sale  of  Pacific  Coast  manufac- 
tured products.  A  lumber  commis- 
sioner has  been  established  in  Tokio, 
the  other  new  officials  being  sent  to 
Central  and  South  America.  Pacific 
Coast  exporters  have  high  hopes 
that  these  new  governmental  sales- 
men will  be  of  gi-eat  aid  to  them  in 
developing  theii-  foreign  trade. 

Kahului  Harbor  Project 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  co-operated  with  the 
Honolulu  Chamber  in  the  successful 
negotiations  ending  in  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  Board  of  Engineers 
for  Rivers  and  Harbors  for  the  fur- 
ther improvement  of  Kahului  Har- 
bor on  the  island  of  Maui.  The  Ka- 
hului project  is  included  in  the 
rivers  and  harbors  bill,  which  has 
been  passed  by  the  House  and  which 


is  expected  to  pass  in  the  Senate 
early  in  the  December  session  of 
Congress.  The  project  includes  the 
ex-tension  of  the  breakwaters  and 
dredging  inside  the  harbor  so  that 
the  largest  boats  in  the  Pacific  may 
go  safely  to  this  harbor  to  pick  up 
cargoes  of  sugar  and  pineapple. 

Congressional  Reapportionment  Bill 

The  fullest  co-operation  was  ex- 
tended the  delegation  in  all  of  the 
negotiations  and  conferences  dm-ing 
the  last  session  of  Congi-ess  on  the 
Barbour  reapportionment  bill.  This 
bill  would  have  increased  the  Cali- 
fornia representation  in  the  House 
of  Representatives  by  three  mem- 
bers. It  was  defeated  in  committee 
through  the  influence  of  those  states 
which  would  either  lose  representa- 
tion or  which  would  gain  none.  How- 
ever, in  the  closing  days  of  the  ses- 
sion an  agreement  was  made  with 
RepubHcan  leaders  by  which  the 
Barbour  bill  will  be  passed  during 
the  forthconung  short  session  but 
amended  so  as  to  make  the  reappor- 
tionment not  effective  until  after  the 
census  of  1930.  The  Cahfoniians 
will  continue  their  fight  for  the  bill 
without  the  amendment  so  that  re- 


apportionment may  become  effective 
immediately. 

Canadian  Meat  on  Army  Trans- 
ports 

San  Francisco  meat  packers  have 
been  deprived  of  the  sale  of  between 
fifty  and  seventy -five  thousand 
pounds  of  meat  a  month  to  the 
United  States  Army  transports  sail- 
ing out  of  San  Francisco,  because 
they  were  underbid  by  Canachan  ex- 
porters who  were  permitted  to  bring 
in  their  product  under  bond  and 
land  it  on  the  transports  free  of  duty. 
The  difference  in  the  bids  between 
American  and  Canadian  packers 
often  was  as  small  as  twenty-five 
cents  a  hundred  pounds.  The  CaU- 
fornia  Cattlemen's  Association  took 
the  matter  up  with  the  Chamber, 
alleging  that  they  were  up  against

San  Francisco  packers  an  opportun- 
ity to  compete  for  Army  transport 
business. 

Use  of  Crissey  Field  by  Private 
Mail  Planes 
War  Department  orders  barring 
the  use  of  Crissey  Field  by  the  planes 
of  the  Pacific  air  transport,  the  coast- 
wise air  mail  contractor,  were  chang- 
ed to  permit  the  planes  to  use  this 
field  temporarily  until  San  Fran- 
cisco's own  airport  is  available. 
Negotiations  with  the  Secietary  of 
War  were  carried  on  by  the  Post- 
ma.ster  General  and  a  representative 
of  the  Chamber. 

Federal  Building 

Several  conferences  were  held  by 
the  Bureau  with  representatives  of 
the  Treasury  and  Post  Office  De- 
partment on  the  subject  of  the  new 
federal  building  for  San  Francisco. 
TIk'  great  need  of  a  new  pul^lic 
liiiilding  was  recognized  by  these 
officials  with  the  result  that  one  of 
the  earliest  structures  to  be  erected 
will  be  built  at  San  Francisco. 

Community  Property 

During  the  long-{lrawn-out  com- 
munity property  battle  the  Bureau 
maintained  close  contact  with  public 
officials  in  Washington,  keeping  the 
Chamber  advised  of  all  new  develop- 
ments. Conferences  were  held  with 
the  Attorney  General  and  his  depu- 
ties and  with  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  and  his  assistants. 

McFadden  Banking  Bill 

A  numlier  of  California  Ijanks  ap- 
pealed to  the  Washington  Bureau 
for  telegraphic  information  on  the 
progress  made  by  the  McFadden 
banking  bill  and  seeking  information 
as  to  the  probable  outcome.  Im- 
mediate attention  was  given  to  all 
these  reciuests. 

Radio  Communication 

Frequent  conferences  were  held 
with  Navy  officials  and  members  of 
the  House  and  Senate  during  the  last 
Congress  on  the  subject  of  an  amend- 
ment to  the  pending  radio  bill  which 
would  permit  the  use  of  Navy  radio 
facilities  wherever  private  facilities 
were  not  available.  The  amendment, 
which  was  proposed  by  San  Fran- 
cisco interests,  was  accepted  by  Sen- 
ator Dill  and  probably  will  be  in- 
corporated in  the  radio  bill  when  it  is 
passed  in  the  forthcoming  session  of 
Congress.

AMERICAN  GAS  MACHINE 
COMPANY,  with  factory  at  Albert 
Lee,  Minnesota,  which  is  the  largest 
manufacturer  of  underpressure  gas 
appUances  in  the  world,  according  to 
Mr.  R.  J.  Ackerman,  Pacific  Coast 
sales  manager,  has  opened  Pacific 
Coast  sales  office  in  the  Chronicle 
Building,  with  a  force  of  12  salesmen 
covering  the  Western  states  of  Wash- 
ington, Oregon,  Idaho,  Nevada, 
California,  Ai'izona,  Utah  and  New 
Mexico.  This  company  manufac- 
tures what  is  known  as  the"American 
Camp  Cook  Stove"  and  also  minia- 
ture gasoline  gas  plants  for  lanterns, 
heaters, lamps  andindustrial  heaters. 
HOUBIGANT,  INC.,  manufac- 
turers and  importers  of  perfumes, 
cosmetics  and  toilet  articles,  with 
American  headquarters  in  New 
York,  have  recently  opened  branch 
sales  offices  at  350  Mission  Street, 
where  stock  will  be  carried  for  dis- 
triliution  to  Washington,  Oregon, 
California,  Montana,  Nevada,  Utah, 
Arizona  and  New  Mexico.  San 
Francisco  was  chosen  as  Western 
headquarters  because  of  its  logical 
location  and  excellent  distribution 
facilities. 

EXPANSIONS 

CALIFORNIA  PETROLEUM 
COMPANY,  311  Cahfornia  Street, 
have  recently  built  a  one-story  steel 
warehouse  at  corner  of  Granada  and 
Georgia  streets  to  take  care  of  their 
growing  business.  This  warehouse  is 
being  used  for  the  storage  of  their 
petroleum  oil  products.  The  esti- 
mated cost  of  this  building  with  im- 
provements is  .$100,000. 

CRYSTAL  LAUNDRY,  1700 
Folsom  Street,  has  recently  com- 
menced building  an  addition  to  its 
place  of  business  for  the  purpose  of 
facilitating  bundle  distribution.  This 
expansion  will  increase  its  faciUties 
10%:  estimated  cost,  S3,500. 

CALIFORNIA  CASING  COM- 
PANY, 855  Mission  Street,  one  of 
the  largest  importing  and  distribut- 
ing concerns  of  butchers'  supplies, 
sausage  casings,  etc.,  on  the  Coast, 
accorcling  to  Mr.  B.  Neustater, 
president  and  general  manager,  is 
now  building  a  one-story-and-base- 
ment  office  and  re-selecting  plant, 
covering  about  12,000  square  feet,  at 
1180  Folsom  Street,  which  it  is  ex- 
pected will  be  ready  for  occupancy 
about  October  1st.   This  new  plant 


will  increase  the  company's  facili- 
ties considerably. 

A.  M.  CASTLE  &  CO.,  20th  and 
Indiana  streets,  are  now  occupying 
their  new  one-story  steel  warehouse 
and  plant,  representing  an  invest- 
ment of  about  $50,000.  This  new 
plant  greatly  increases  the  facilities 
for  handling,  warehousing  and  dis- 
tributing steel  which  is  handled  by 
this  company.  This  concern  was 
formerly  located  at  1045  17th  Street. 
Increased  business,  due  to  business 
activities  in  the  San  Francisco  trade 
territory,  made  this  expansion  im- 
perative. 

ASSOCIATED  FLOWER  AND 


SUPPLY  CO.,  172  Fifth  Street, 
have  leased  and  are  now  occupying 
a  new  three-story  concrete  and  glass 
building,  which  will  increase  their 
facilities  about  400%.  This  com- 
pany has  been  in  existence  for  about 
three  years,  formerly  occupying  a 
one-story  building  at  the  above  ad- 
dress. The  third  floor  is  being  util- 
ized as  a  factoiy  for  the  manufacture 
of  various  articles  entering  into  the 
flower  business  such  as  baskets  and 
novelties.  The  second  floor  has  been 
set  aside  for  storage  and  cUsplay  of 
floral  supplies,  ribbon  baskets  and 
novelties,  while  the  cut  flower  de-

Foreign  Trade  Zone  Bill 

San  Francisco  commercial  circles 
are  interested  in  the  foreign  trade 
zone  bill  introduced  by  Senator 
Jones  of  Washington.  This  bill 
would  permit  the  establishment  of 
zones  at  certain  ports  where  dutiable 
goods  could  be  temporarily  stored, 
repacked  and  reshipped  without  the 
payment  of  duty.  This  Bureau 
made  an  investigation  of  the  bill's 
status  and  possibilities  on  a  number 
of  occa.sions,  reporting  the  .situation 
to  the  Chamlier.  Offers  of  co-opera- 
tion have  been  e.xtendcd  to  Senator 
.Jones. 

San  Francisco  Fire  Claims 

The  Shortridge-Kahn  bill  for  the 
nlief  of  the  San  Francisco  fire 
claimants  who  were  not  paid  in  full 
after  the  fire  of  1906  was  given  con- 
sideral)le  attention  by  the  Bureau, 
which  co-operated  with  the  authors 
of  the  bill  and  with  Representative 
Lea,  member  of  the  House  commit- 
tee having  the  bill  under  consider- 
tion. 
Base  for  Lighter-lhan-Air  Ships 

The  Bureau  was  advised  early 
last  winter  of  Xa\-j-  plans  for  the 
establishment  of  one  or  two  bases  on 
the  west  coast  for  lighter-than-air 
ships.  A  San  Francisco  site  was  be- 
ing considered  together  with  other 
Pacific  Coast  sites.  Full  information 
was  sent  to  the  Chamber  for  its 
consideration  and  for  further  nego- 
tiations with  the  Xa\7  Department.

Ecuadorian  Consular  Fees 

The  Ecuadorian  Ciovernment  as- 
sessed what  amounted  to  an  export 
tax  by  increasing  its  consular  fees, 
which  worked  to  the  disadvantage 
of  California  importers.  The  matter

Tobacco  Culture  in  California 

A  thorough  investigation  and  re-

culture  in  California  was  made  by 
the  Bureau.  This  information,  ob-

For  more  than  a  year  the  Chamber 
has  been  negotiating  with  the  Coast 
Guard  for  additional  cutters  on  the

ping. The  Bureau  co-operated  with 
the  California  delegation  and  Coast 
Guard  oflScials  in  the  enactment  of 
the  bill  authorizing  the  construction 
of  ten  new  cutters.  Three  of  these

wheels  turning  from  an  invisiljle 
force.  Looking  back,  Mr.  Wishon 
has  said,  "It  was  the  proudest  mo- 
ment of  my  life  when  I  closed  the 
switch  that  started  that  motor." 

Thus  was  installed  for  the  first 
time  electrical  power  cnaliling  the 
San  .Ioa<iuin  Valley  to  draw  on  its 
subterranean  water  supply  to  sup- 
plement limited  supplies  of  gravity 
water  antl  uiu'ertain  rainfall.

Electric  Company,  which  afterward 
became  the  San  Joaquin  Light  and 
Power  Corporation,  of  which  Mr. 
Wishon  is  now  president,  was  full  of

even  more  scarce.   The  people  were 
skeptical. 

Through  it  all  Mr.  Wishon  be- 
lieved that  the  great  gift  from 
electric  power  to  the  valley  was 
water  for  irrigation.  He  extended 
lines  to  valley  towns  and  when 
finances  permitted  built  the  expen- 
sive rural  lines.  Within  two  years 
after  his  company  had  gone  into 
Kern  County  it  was  serving  power 
to  300  pumping  plants.  Here,  Uttle 
gravity  water  was  available.  It  was 
with  the  water  pumped  from  these 
electric  pumping  plants  that  Kern 
County  began  its  rise  to  agricultural 
prosperity. 

Selling  pumping  motors  to  scat- 
tered farmers  in  tliose  daj's  entailed 
unceasing  work.  Each  man  first  had 
to  see  a  motor  at  work.  When  a 
power  hne  was  to  be  built  into  a  new 
district,  the  farmers  had  to  be  driven 
behind  horses  over  the  miles  of  sandy 
roads  to  a  district  already  using 
power,  to  be  shown  that  the  story 
was  not  a  fairy  tale. 

Throughout  the  populated  area 
pumps  were  installed  to  supplement 
gravity  water  and  to  assure  irriga- 
tion when  needed.  But  still  the 
desert  skirted  the  garden  lands.  The 
stunted  grass,  the  baked  brown  soil 
created  such  a  prejudice  against  the 
West  Side  land  that  generally  it  was 
held  to  be  worthless.  But  a  miracle 
of  irrigation  was  unfolded. 

Water  was  found  hundreds  of  feet 
below  the  surface  when  oil  pro- 
motors  sank  their  wells.  Power  lines 
were  extended  over  the  desert 
stretches.  Powerful  motors  brought 
the  water  to  the  surface.  The  once 
useless  land,  irrigated,  is  yielding 
bumper  crops.  Each  year  thousands 
of  the  desert  acres  are  reclaimed  to 
add  their  produce  to  the  state's 
market  basket. 

Today,  130,000  electric  horse- 
power on  the  San  Joaquin  system  is 
working  to  pump  water  for  approxi- 
mately 750,000  acres.  The  twenty- 
seven  years  which  have  passed  since 
those  first  twenty-five  pumping 
plants  were  installed  have  witnessed 
a  transformation  from  desert  to 
garden  of  California's  greatest  ex- 
panse of  potential  agi-icultural  lands. 
The  carpet  of  green  is  still  unfokUng, 
hicUng  the  desert's  sand.  The  youth- 
ful vision  of  a  far-sighted  man  and 
that  man's  unceasing  effort  to  see  it 
reaUzed  has  brought  life  from  barren 
acres — a  miracle  of  water,  of  elec- 
tricity, of  a  man's  life  work. 


SAN  FRAiN'CISCO  BUSINESS,  SEPTEMBEK  S.  1026

or  three  factories,  all  making  the 
same  article,  such  as  paper,  or  shoes, 
or  textiles.  This  condition  means 
that  the  entire  town  reflects  the  ups 
and  downs  of  the  dominating  indus- 
try. But  in  San  Francisco  no  one 
industry  dominates  the  situation, 
although  in  several  lines  San  Fran- 
cisco is  the  recognized  center  for  the 
Pacific  Slope.  An  even  prosperity 
prevails  in  San  Francisco  at  all 
times,  because  at  no  one  time  is  a 
slump  felt  in  all  industries,  the  city 
never  experiencing  a  general  de- 
pression. 

Some  of  the  lines  of  industry  of 
which  San  Francisco  is  the  undis- 
puted center  for  the  Pacific  Coast 
are: 

The  Furniture  industry;  San 
Francisco  having,  in  addition  to  her 
69  furniture  factories,  the  largest 
and  finest  Furniture  Exchange  west 
of  Chicago. 

The  Apparel  Manufacturing 
Center;  with  a  new  eleven-story 
Apparel  Center  Building  just  being 
erected  to  provide  a  market  center 
for  this  growing  industry. 

The  Coffee  industry,  with  twenty 
coffee  roasteries  in  San  Francisco. 
San  Francisco  has  become  so  well 
recognized  nationally  as  the  Western 
coffee  center  that  the  United  States 
Government   has  recently   ordered 


that  all  bids  for  coffee  ordered  by  the 
Navy  shall  be  opened  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

The  Bag  industry;  San  Francisco 
having  four  out  of  the  seven  bag 
factories  on  the  Coast. 

The  Sugar  industry;  the  only 
sugar  refineries  on  the  Coast  being 
here,  one  of  which  is  the  largest  in 
the  world. 

The  Steel  industry;  with  largest 
miUs  on  the  Coast. 

This  list  could  be  extended  indefi- 
nitely, taking  up  line  after  line  in 
which  San  Francisco  is  the  manu- 
facturing center,  an  enumeration 
which  would  lead  us  all  the  way  from 
chocolate  and  salt  to  tennis  rackets 
and  savings  banks. 

From  another  angle  let  us  consider 
just  two  industry  groups  in  order  to 
obtain  some  idea  of  the  diversity  of 
San  Francisco's  pay  roll.  For  in- 
stance, the  food  industries  number 
418,  with  7,295  employees,  receiving 
89,500,000  in  wages,  turning  out  a 
product  valued  at  $108,687,000, 
while  the  metal  industries  number 
562,  employ  7,017  people,  to  whom 
a  wage  is  paid  of  $10,555,000,  and  a 
product  is  turned  out  to  the  value  of 
$47,000,000. 

Greater  San  Francisco  has  a  popu- 
lation of  1,250,000,  a  pay  roll  of 
$200,000,000,  and  produces  an  in- 
dustrial output  valued  at  81,379,- 


000,000.  Oakland,  Berkeley,  Ala- 
meda, Richmond  and  all  the  other 
cities  and  towns  of  the  Bay  area  are 
growing  at  a  wonderful  rate  as  well 
as  San  Francisco.  Oakland,  occupy- 
ing 49.3  square  miles,  is  the  second 
largest  industrial  unit  in  the  area  and 
produced  industrial  output  last  year 
to  the  value  of  $141,000,000. 

There  is  abundant  room  for  new 
industry  on  the  San  Francisco  Penin- 
sula and  all  around  the  Bay.  Certain 
new  lines  of  production  are  needed, 
such  as  silk,  textiles  and  glass  manu- 
facture. A  great  future  lies  before 
pioneers  in  these  new  and  virgin 
fields  especially,  and  taking  the  Bay 
area  in  general,  the  future  growth 
and  development  defy  estimate  ow- 
ing to  the  fact  that  San  Francisco  is 
the  natural  and  inevitable  gateway 
to  the  vast  market  in  the  awakening 
Orient. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  prepares  high-class  engi- 
neering reports  for  industries  look- 
ing to  the  West  for  a  location.  This 
Chamber  was  the  original  organiza- 
tion to  prepare  these  special  studies 
for  industrial  executives  and  they 
have  proved  very  helpful,  although 
prepared  entirely  without  cost  to  the 
industry  requesting  the  service.

— on  the  side  lines  often  see  things  the  players 
do  not  notice.  It  may  be  bad  form  to  offer  sug- 
gestions unasked  and  yet  the  breach  is  usually 
pardoned  if  the  suggestion  is  really  worth  while. 


Looking  over  the  field  we  see  many  people  using  cloth  towels  who 
would  be  more  contented  and  better  off  if  they  used  paper  towels  in 
their  washrooms.  If  such  people  accept  our  suggestion  to  try  PUBLIC 
SERVICE  Paper  Towels  they  will  thank  us  for  the  suggestion. 
We  advocate  PUBLIC  SERVICE  Towels  because  a  careful  investi- 
gation proved  to  us  that  they  measure  up  in  every  particular.  They 
do  their  work  well,  economically,  and  are  dispensed  without  waste. 


At  your  request  we  will  be  glad 
to  have  a  representative  call  and 
explain  fiillyall  details  regarding 
the  installation  of  PUBLIC 
SERVICE  Towels.

low  cost  of  property  and  an  inevit- 
ably tremendous  development. 

Recognized  leaders  in  engineering 
and  in  contracting  and  development 
work  are  unanimous  in  their  opinion 
of  the  unique  position  of  Port  San 
Francisco  and  believe  the  project 
has  a  future  of  unparalleled  activity 
and  growth. 

Never  before  in  history  has  it  been 
possible  for  a  corporation  or  a  mu- 
nicipality to  say  to  engineers:  "Here 
is  a  vast  acreage  of  land  in  one 
ownership,  free  from  political  con- 
trol, municipal  boundaries,  every 
ownership  established,  rights  or  ease- 
ments; incomparably  situated  in 
respect  to  climate,  location  and  liv- 
ing conditions,  with  adequate  trans- 
portation and  boulevard  facilities; 
a  modern  port  development  and 
a  modern  industrial  city  without 
restriction."

tion  and  influence  is  assured  through 
supervisors  of  Yolo  and  Sacramento 
counties,  the  city  of  Sacramento 
and  State  Highway  Commi.'sion — 
the  only  condition  imposed  being 
that  the  Pioneer  Memorial  Bridge 
Commission  shall  provide  the  funds 
for  memorial  embellishment,  -152.50,- 
000  at  least.  No  "drive"  or  ag- 
gressive campaign,  passing  the  hat

ated by  the  commission.  A  dignified 
appeal  in  a  spirit  of  reverence  and  in 
sacred  memory  of  those  gone  before. 
Sacramento  is  abundantly  able 
and  wilUng  to  build  its  own  utility

talking  about  her  husband's 
recent  illness. 

"Bill  was  home  for  a  whole

hot  water  hose  and  hose  couplings, 
are  making  an  extension  of  their 
present  plant  at  Pittsburg,  Cali-

inforced concrete  factory,  containing 
33,000  square  feet,  for  the  exclusive 
manufacture  of  belting  and  fire  hose. 
This  expansion  will  double  their

growers  of  tomatoes,  alfalfa,  garbanzos  (chick-peas>. 
cotton,  etc.,  the  attention  of  ,\iuerican  exporters  of 
these  seeds  should  be  drawn  to  the  order  of  the 
Mexican  Government  requiring  their  fumigation  :tt 
the  port  of  entr>-  into  Mexico. 


Tniteid  States,  but  require  tnat  the  process  be 
carried  out  at  the  port  of  entr>'  under  the  super- 
\ision  of  a  Mexican  official  veterioar>-  attached  to 
the  customs.  Where  the  exporter  does  not  have  an 
agent  at  the  port  of  entr>-  the  seed  is  turned  over  to 
a  local  Mexican  customs  broker  for  the  necesear>' 
fumigation.  It  is  reported  that  parcel-poet  ship- 
ments of  seeds  are  being  turned  over  to  customs 
brokers  for  this  purpose. 

The  process  of  fumigation  occupies  between  24 
and  48  hours  and  the  cost  is  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$1  for  each  20  pounds  of  seed.  This  figure  is  for  small 
and  medium  shipments,  as  the  expense  would 
probably  be  reduced  for  large  shipraent,s 


SAN  FRAXCISCO  BUSINESS.  SEPTEMBER  15,  1926 


SUMMARY  0/ WORLD  MARKET  CONDITIONS 

^ased  upon  Qables  and  Other  "Imports  received  in  the  "Department  of  Commerce 


CANADA 

Because  of  recent  heavy  rains  in  the 
Prairie  Provinces  a  delay  of  a  few  days 
in  threshing  operations  over  a  large 
portion  of  that  area  is  expected.  General 
trade  conditions  are  reported  as  rather 
unsatisfactory  in  Nova  Scotia.  Business  is 
improving  in  Quebec  Province  while  the 
usual  seasonal  slump  is  being  experienced 
in  Ontario.  Trade  is  fairly  active  in  the 
Prairie  Provinces  and  in  British  Colum- 
bia. 

GREAT  BRITAIN 

August  with  splendid  holiday  weather 
prevailing  was  unusually  quiet.  Frequent 
conferences  were  held  during  the  month  in 
an  effort  to  end  the  coal  dispute,  but  there 
are  no  evidences  of  any  headway  having 
been  made.  The  permissive  eight^hour- 
day  law  has  not  resulted  in  any  large-scale 
return  of  the  miners  to  the  pits.  Only 
about  59.000  coal  miners  are  working. 
Coal  is  being  imported  at  the  rate  of 
about  1.000.000  tons  a  week. 

Gradual,  though  slight  improvement  in 
the  employment  situation  is  apparent. 

FRANCE 

The  general  situation  remains  out-- 
wardly  favorable.  The  Government  is 
working  on  administrative  economies, 
which,  however,  may  be  offset  by  the 
salary  demands  of  public  employees.  It 
has  been  unofficially  reported  that  there 
is  enough  foreign  exchange  accumulated 
to  meet  remaining  obligations  this  year. 

GERMANY 
The  fall  fair  in  Leipzig  has  been  dis- 
appointing. It  is  reported  that  there  were 
8,500  exhibitors  and  approximately  50,000 
\isitors.  Sales  were  chiefly  confined  to 
German  retailers  replenishing  stocks  and 
placing  Christmas  orders.  Textiles  are 
depressed,  with  the  exception  of  novelty 
goods.  Most  of  the  exhibitors  at  the  fair 
are  readily  exi-ending  credits  to  buyers 
with  a  minimum  of  60  to  90  days  with 
special  inducements  offered  for  earlier 
payments.  It  is  noteworthy  that  to  a 
large  extent  foreign  buyers  are  absent. 

AUSTRIA 

With  the  adoption  of  the  long-delayed 
Hungarian-Austrian  commercial  treaty, 
tariff  reductions  on  both  sides  will  apply 
to  American  goods  under  most-favored- 
nation  treaties.  Vienna  announces  that 
negotiations  are  under  way  between  two 
Viennese  bank  concerns  and  a  New  York 
financial  group  for  the  construction  of  a 
large  hydroelectric  power  station  on  the 
Danube  at  Komeuburg,  just  above  Vienna. 
Electrification  on  the  Austrian  railways 
is  proceeding  rapidly  and  it  is  expected 
that  the  stretch  to  the  Swiss  frontier  will 
be  completed  by  1927. 
ITALY 

As  a  direct  result  of  the  governmental 
restrictions  on  various  forms  of  financial 
and  economic  activity,  the  Italian  lira 
showed^a  .sharp  advance  during  the  past 
month.  The  reaction  was  not  so  notice- 
able in  the  case  of  government  bonds, 
which  showed  only  a  fractional  increase 
over  previous  quotations.  The  unfavor- 
able balance  of  international  payments, 
however,  continues  to  affect  the  lira's 
progress.  The  stock  exchange  is  quiet 
after  midsummer  recess.  The  cotton 
industry  is  tied  up  on  account  of  the  prices 
paid  for  raw  materials,  which  were  con- 
siderably   above    the    present    market 


quotations.  Money  stringency  is  expected 
to  increase  in  Genoa  during  the  next  two 
or  three  months  on  account  of  the  require- 
ments of  the  cotton  industry. 

NORWAY 

A  strong  attempt  is  now  being  made  to 
effect  a  settlement  of  the  labor  dispute 
in  the  paper  industry,  one  of  Norway's 
most  important  export  branches,  and  it  is 
quite  generally  expected  that  the  efforts 
will  result  in  a  mutually  satisfactory  wage 
agreement.  Press  reports  state  that  the 
conflict  in  the  electrochemical  industrj' 
has  been  settled  through  the  acceptance 
by  both  sides  of  the  proposal  advanced 
by  the  government  arbitrator.  The  labor 
situation  remains  quite  threatening  in 
several  minor  industries,  however.  Busi- 
ness in  general  continues  dull  and  in- 
active, but  prices  have  been  very  stable 
during  the  last  two  months,  largely  as  a 
result  of  the  firmness  of  the  crown. 

SWEDEN 

Sweden  is  steadily  but  slowly  progress- 
ing economically.  Activity  in  trade  and 
manufacture  has  increased  during  the  last 
few  months,  which  is  shown  in  the  greater 
volume  of  goods  carried  by  the  state  rail- 
ways, larger  imports  of  coal  and  raw 
materials  for  industry,  increased  ex-ports, 
and  the  upward  trend  in  the  total  value 
of  discounted  commercial  bills.  Building 
activity  has  declined,  however,  and  the 
iron  industry  is  still  in  a  very  unfavorable 
position. 

DENMARK 

The  decline  in  the  cost  of  living  index, 
which  amounted  to  only  about  5  per  cent, 
instead  of  the  ex-pected  8  or  9  per  cent  re- 
duction for  the  period,  will  nevertheless 
benefit  Danish  fiscal  affairs  through  a 
reduction  of  public  expenditures,  and 
industry  and  business  generally  through 
reduced  labor  costs.  It  is  quite  likely  that 
buying  and  commercial  activity  in  gen- 
eral will  remain  low  during  the  fall  and 
early  winter.  The  possibilities  for  a  ma- 
terial reduction  in  the  tax  burden  are  very 
small.  Unemployment  remains  high.  The 
money  market  continues  tight ,  even 
though  the  Bank  of  Issue  has  tempered 
its  credit  restriction  policy,  and  foreign 
capital  is  slowly  begiiming  to  filter  into 
Denmark. 

MEXICO 

Conditions  in  general  remained  un- 
changed during  the  past  week,  although 
improvements  were  noted  in  sales  of 
paper,  drugs,  trucks  and  tires.  It  was  re- 
ported that  further  damage  was  sus- 
tained by  the  crops  in  the  Laguna  district 
and  the  Lerma  Santiago  Valley.  The 
silver  discount  compared  with  gold 
fluctuated  around  o  per  cent. 

PORTO  RICO 

The  business  situation  in  Porto  Rico 
continues  quiet,  but  slightly  above  the 
1925  level.  Bank  clearings  for  San  Juan 
during  August  were  about  $17,200,000,  an 
approximate  increase  of  §200,000  over 
those  for  August,  1925.  Collections  are 
fairly  prompt  and  were  slightly  greater 
in  volume  than  during  the  preceding 
week,  but  hanks  are  tightening  somewhat 
on  loans.  Importers  are  now  placing 
orders  to  supply  the  winter  retail  trade. 
Sugar  shipments  January  1  to  August  30, 
1926,  were  512,000  tons  compared  with 
563,000  tons  for  the  same  period  of  1925. 


The  past  week  has  been  favorable  to 
agriculture,  for  while  the  rainfall  was  but 
one-third  of  normal  the  fields  retained 
adequate  moisture  from  previous  rains. 

BRAZIL 

Retirements  of  paper  currency  by  the 
Bank  of  Brazil  during  the  month  of 
August  amounted  to  11,333,000  milreis, 
as  compared  with  11,333,000  milreis  in 
July  and  13.500,000  milreis  in  June.  Dur- 
ing the  week  ended  September  4  exchange 
continued  firm  and  coffee  prices  were 
steady.  The  Coffee  Institute  has  an- 
nounced its  intention  of  constructing  four 
or  five  additional  warehouses  for  the 
storage  of  coffee.  Present  stocks  of  coffee 
at  Santos  total  approximately  1,000,000 
bags,  as  compared  with  the  then  con- 
sidered low  figure  of  1,048,000  bags  on 
August  21.  Exports  from  the  present 
coffee  crop  are  approximately  320,000 
bags  under  last  year. 

ARGENTINA 

Favorable  weather  conditions  in  Ar- 
gentina during  the  week  ended  September 
4  have  produced  a  more  optimistic  out- 
look for  agriculture.  Railway  freight  rates 
to  the  seaboard  on  shipments  of  corn  and 
oats  have  been  reduced  as  an  aid  in  the 
movement  of  large  export  surpluses  of 
these  crops.  There  has  been  a  large  in- 
crease in  wheat  and  linseed  shipments. 
The  cattle  market  is  quiet  but  prices  are 
good  and  the  hide  market  is  active. 

Commercial  failures  during  August,  al- 
though including  one  failure  of  consider- 
able importance,  show  an  encouraging 
decline;  the  total  was  slightlv  under  that 
for  July. 

PERU 

Peruvian  trade  was  characterized  by 
inactivity  during  the  week  ended  Sep- 
tember 4.  A  slight  decline  in  exchange  to 
$3,865  to  the  Peruvian  pound  took  place 
at  the  close  of  the  period;  the  rate  quoted 
at  the  close  of  the  previous  week  was 
$3.88.  Imports  in  June  amounted  to 
£pl, 413,075,  of  which  the  United  States' 
share  was  valued  at  £p810,27I,  Great 
Britain's  at  £pl74,677,  and  Germanv'g 
at£pll4,471. 

PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS 

The  Philipi)iMt'  copra  market  continues 
steady  with  sliglitly  hiti:ht'r  prices,  mainly 
due  to  the  advance  in  London  oil  prices. 
Resecado  (dried  copra)  is  now  quoted  at 
13  to  13.50  pesos  per  picul  of  139  pounds. 
(\  peso  equals  $0.50).  All  mills  are  operat- 
ing and  production  continues  high. 

Prices  in  high  grades  of  hemp,  both 
United  States  and  United  Kingdom,  have 
advanced  slightly  as  a  result  of  firm- 
ness in  foreign  consuming  markets,  but 
the  price  of  medium  grades  remains  un- 
changed. Grade  F  is  now  38  pesos  per 
picul;  I,  35;  Jus,  28;  JUK,  22;  LUS,  17.25; 
and  LUX,  16.25.  Trading  is  fair,  but  pro- 
duction is  still  slightly  under  normal. 

Cigar  exports  in  August  amounted  to 
only  13,500,000  cigars,  as  compared  with 
18,000,000  in  the  same  month  of  last  year, 
the  decline  being  due  to  the  strike  in  cigar 
factories. 

AUSTRALIA 

The  Australian  w-ool  season  opened  at 
Sydney  during  the  week  of  Sejjtember  2, 
with  a  large  attendance.  Auction  prices 
are  said  to  have  been  about  5  per  cent 
higher    than   for    the   June    series.    The

Sara  Frasicisco's 
Siaraslhame  Saibiiirbs 

SAX  MATEO  anti  Burlingame 
liave  very  aptly  been  called 
"San  Francisco's  Sunshine 
Suburbs."  Here,  sheltered  to  a  great 
extent  from  the  fog  and  wind  of  the 
Pacific  by  a  barrier  of  hills,  are 
clustered  the  homes  and  estates  of 
many  San  Francisco  business  men 
who  prefer  the  out-of-door  atlvan- 
tages  for  their  families  and  them- 
selves and  who  go  to  the  city  to  their 
business,  either  by  train,  electric 
cars,  motor  busses  or  their  own  auto- 
mobiles. 

During  the  past  two  yeai-s  there 
has  been  a  steadily  increasing  build- 
ing program  in  these  two  communi- 
ties, nearlj-  one  thousand  building 
permits  having  been  is.sued.  Re- 
quests for  water  connections  have 
been  registered  at  the  rate  of  more 
than  one  a  day  for  this  period. 

These  communities  provide  ex- 
cellent educational  facilities,  which 
is  one  of  the  biggest  factors  in  the 
growth  of  any  city.  There  are  eight 
grade  schools  and  two  high  schools 
in  the  two  cities.  Another  high 
school  is  being  built  to  take  the 
place  of  one  of  the  older  schools 
which  is  being  converted  into  a 
junior  college. 

Both  cities  have  unusually  thriv- 
ing business  sections  for  suburban 
towns:  a  fact  that  has  frequently 
been  remarked  by  visitors,  who  ex- 
pect to  find  communities  of  homes 
without  much  business  activity  be- 
cause of  the  close  proximity  to  San 
Francisco.  Excellent  amusement 
places,  good  lodges  and  churches 
and  several  verj'  active  communit}' 
social  organizations  bring  the  com- 
munity life  considerably  above  the 
average, 

San  Mateo  and  Burlingame  have, 
undeniably,  much  to  offer  that  most 
suburban  communities  (whether 
East  or  West)  do  not  have.  The 
family  that  has  not  investigated  the 
advantages  of  these  communities 
still  has  something  in  store. 

WORLD  MARKET  SUMMARY 

[  continued  from  page  3  ) 

demand  for  the  finer  grades  of  wool  was 
especially  keen.  Greasy  merino  averaged 
around  253-4  pence  per  pound. 

Customs  revenue  for  July  and  .\ugust 
reached  a  total  of  £7,200,(X)O,  or  about 
£200,000  above  the  estimates  of  the 
Commonwealth  Statistician. 

INDIA 

Monsoon  rains  are  general  throughout 
India  at  present  and  a  good  agricultural 
year  seems  assured.  In  Burma  some 
damage  has  occurred  to  the  rice  crop 
from  floods,  but  no  report  has  been  re- 
ceived of  floods  in  other  regions  of  India, 

Bazaar  trade  continues  seasonally  slow, 
but  a  steady  improvement  is  apparent.

San  Francisco's  Need  of  an  Airport 


aport  is  properly  and 
fully  equipped  to  com- 
]i('te  in  the  fields  of  coin- 
iiicrce  unless  it  has  an 
iiirport  for  the  planes  of 
commorL'ial  aviation. 

This  was  the  statement  made  last 
Friday  by  Edward  P.  Warner, 
Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Navy  in 
charge  of  naval  aeronautics,  at  an 
informal  luncheon  extended  to  him 
by  officials  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce at  the  Commercial  Club. 

Six  members  of  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  were  present  to  listen  to 
Secretary  Warner  urge  that  San 
Francisco  obtain  an  adequate  air 
port  at  the  earliest  possible  moment 
in  order  to  promote  the  advance- 
ment of  commercial  aviation  upon 
the  Pacific  Coast. 

The  Navy  is  greatly  interested  in 
connnercial  aviation  and  is  willing 
to  cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  in 
aiding  San  Francisco  or  any  other 
city  in  threshing  out  the  problems 
that  may  be  faced  in  plans  to  pur- 
chase an  airport,  Secretary  Warner 
declared.  He  said : 

"The  need  of  an  airport  by  a  sea- 
coast  town  cannot  be  exaggerated. 
No  city  is  equipped  to  compete  for 
world  commerce  without  an  airport. 

"In  selecting  a  port  the  needs  of 
the  future  and  not  the  present 
should  be  considered. 

"Many  cities  have  made  the  mis- 
take of  selecting  a  small  site  aiid 
then  have  been  compelled  to  pur- 
chase additional  land  at  great  ex- 
pense and  trouble. 

"As  to  the  size  of  an  airport  I 
should  say  the  larger  the  better.  I 
would  recommend  anywhere  from 
400  to  1000  acres. 

"If  possible  the  airport  should  be 
situated  near  water  in  order  that  it 
may  serve  as  a  terminal  for  lioth 
land  planes  and  sea  planes. 

"A  centralized  terminal  for  all 
types  of  planes  is  the  best.  A  large 
area  of  land  for  land  planes  adjacent 
to  an  open  space  of  water  of  suffi- 
cient area  for  the  landing  of  sea 
planes  is  ideal. 

"The  part  that  is  being  played  by- 
hydroplanes     in     commercial     and 


naval  aviation  will  increase  in  future 
rather  than  decrease,  although  it  is  a 
popular  delusion  that  the  sea  plane 
is  a  relic  of  the  past. 

"The  sea  plane  has  many  advan- 
tages over  the  land  plane,  especially 
in  seaports. 

"It  can  land  on  water,  close  to  the 
center  of  population,  while  it  is  often 
neces.sary  for  land  planes  to  land  on 
a  field  many  miles  away. 

"A  particular  example  of  this  is 
shown  in  conditions  in  New  York 
City.  There  hydroplanes  drop  right 
into  the  East  River,  close  to  the 
center  of  town,  while  land  planes  are 
forced  to  land  many  miles  away." 

Secretary  Warner  praised  the  late 
Captain  John  Rodgers,  commander 
of  the  Hawaiian  flight. 

The  snper'.'i.sorg  v.'hc  atterded  the 
luncheon  were  Gallagher,  Kent, 
Marks,  Roncovieri,  Shannon  and 
McSheehey. 

Among  others  who  attended  were 
Rear  Admiral  C.  J.  Peeples,  repre- 
senting the  Navy,  and  Major  H.  B. 
Clagett,  officer  in  charge  of  aviation, 
Ninth  Corps  Ai'ca.

WOODEN  BOX  NOVELTY 
COMPANY,  2014  Bryant  Street, 
has  recently  been  organized  to 
manufacture  wooden  novelty  boxes 
made  of  California  redwood  and 
Tennessee  cedar;  products  being 
candy  l)Oxes,  dried  fruit  and  glace 
fruit  boxes,  radio  boxes,  suitcase 
and  bag  frames,  and  redwood  burl 
novelties.  This  concern,  occupying 
15,000  square  feet  of  floor  space, 
serves  the  dried  fruit  and  glace  fruit 
packers,  candy  stores  and  manu- 
facturers of  suitcases  and  leather 
goods,  distributing  widely  over  the 
Pacific  Coast,  and  is  now  endeavor- 
ing to  open  up  a  market  for  its 
product  in  the  East. 

[  continued  on  page  4] 


MORI']  than  one  hundred  key 
men  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce membership  organi- 
zation listened  to  Irvin  H  Rice, 
chairman  of  the  Activities  Commit- 
tee of  the  Chamber,  outline  the 
duties  and  responsibilities  of  citizen- 
ship at  a  luncheon  in  the  Commer- 
cial Club  last  week. 

Rice,  who  for  years  was  president 
of  the  Merchants  and  Manufac- 
turers Association  in  Los  Angeles, 
was  described  by  Frederick  J. 
Koster  as  one  of  the  outstanding 
figuies  in  California's  legion  of 
public  workers. 

Urging  the  necessity  of  all  busi- 
ness men  to  get  behind  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  and  to  take  an  active 
part  in  its  program  of  development, 
Rice  said:  "We're  not  working  for 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce;  we're 
networking  for  individuals  or  groups, 
but  rather  fur  San  FnuK'isco  and  for 
ourselves.  In  cxiict  proportion  to  the 
effort  we  expend  toward  the  welfare 
and  development  of  our  community 
will  we  reahze  its  advantages.  What 
we  put  in  with  one  hand  we  take 
out  with  the  other — with  interest. 
The  efficiency  of  our  Chamber  of 
Commerce  is  commensurate  with 
the  amount  of  work  we  contribute 
to  its  accomplishments,  and  if  San 
Francisco  is  lacking  in  one  thing — if 
it  has  failed  to  make  the  most  of  its 
opportunities  it  is  because  too  much 
energy  has  been  expended  and  not 
enough  work  done.  We've  got  to 
work  harder — and  all  together.'^ 


REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

"A  new  high  record  for  all  time  in 
the  numljcr  of  cars  loaded  with 
revenue  freight  was  established  for 
the  week  of  September  4,"  says  the 
car  service  division  of  the  American 
Railway  Association.  "The  total  for 
the  week  was  1,151,346  cars,  the 
greatest  number  for  one  week  ever 
recorded. 

"The  total  for  the  week  of  Sep- 
tember 4  exceeded  by  15,113  cars 
the  previous  high  record  established 
the  preceding  week,  when  1,136,233 
cars  were  loaded."

now  tniilc  jiiiirniil  now  being  pul>- 
lishcd  niontlily  for  retail  bakers,  at 
Xi4  Pacific  Building.  This  journal 
has  already  worked  up  a  circulation 
over  the  Pacific  Coast  of  850  sub- 
scribers. The  publishers  are  advo- 
cating the  holding  of  the  State 
Retail  Bakers'  Convention  in  San 
Francisco  next  year,  since  this  con- 
vention has  not  been  held  here  for 
ten  years.  In  the  course  of  a  few 
years,  it  is  hoped  that  the  National 
Bakers  Convention,  which  has  never 
been  held  west  of  Chicago,  will  be 
held  in  San  Francisco;  and  "Pro- 
gi-essive  leaker"  intends  to  do  every- 
thing in  its  power  to  secure  these 
conventions  for  San  Francisco.

Arizona  Celebrates  New^^Main  Line" 

ITHERN  PACIFIC'S 
rw  $15,000,000  main 
lie  through  Arizona  will 
r  I'omplctril  liy  Octo- 
I  r  1.5,  in  advance  of  the 
schedule  set  by  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission  and  with  time  to 
spare.  This  aimounceraent  is  made 
by  Geo.  W.  Boschke,  chief  engineer 
for  the  railroad,  who  states  that 
work  is  being  energetically  pushed 
everywhere  along  the  new  line. 

The  railroad  is  now  completing  in 
Arizona  construction  of  164  miles  of 
main  line,  which,  with  rehabilitation 
of  63  miles  of  old  line,  will  give  thi> 
company  a  second  main  line  routi' 
through  Arizona  by  way  of  Phoenix 
and  the  Salt  River  Valley.  This,  with 
the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern  proper- 
ties which  were  acquired  November 
1,  1924,  will  give  Southern  Pacific  a 
second  track  or  line  from  El  Pasn 
Texas,  to  Yuma,  Arizona,  except 
between  Picacho  and  Tucson,  a  di.^- 
tance  of  40  miles,  and  from  Dome  to 
Ivalon,  a  distance  of  15.85  mUes. 

The  new  construction  consists  of 
50.0  miles  from  Picacho,  40  miles 
west  of  Tucson  on  Southern  Pacific's 
present  main  line,  to  Chandler;  96.8 
miles  of  Une  from  Hassayampa  to 
Wellton;  and  18.0  miles  of  Hne  from 
WeUton  to  Dome,  on  the  present 
main  line  of  Southern  Pacific,  21 
miles  east  of  Yuma.  New  construc- 
tion also  includes  branch  line  of  6.0 
miles  from  Gila  River,  on  the  new 
line  from  Picacho  to  Chandler,  to  a 
point  near  Florence.  The  maximum 
grade  of  the  new  lines  is  .5  per  cent 
except  for  five  miles  west  of  Big 
Horn  pass,  which  is  1  per  cent.  There 
are  no  tunnels. 

Connection  of  rails  laid  from 
WeUton  east  and  from  Hassayampa 
west  was  made  June  5,  thus  bringing 
about  the  actual  physical  rail  con- 
nection from  Picacho  through  Phoe- 
nix to  Wellton. 

The  old  lines  reconstructed  and 
brought  up  to  main  line  standard  as 
part  of  the  new  route  include  lines 
formerly  operated  by  the  Arizona 
Eastern  as  follows:  7.1  miles  from 
Pozo  to  Chandler  Junction;  56.0 
miles  of  main  track  and  7.37  miles 


second  track  between  Tempe  and 
Phoenix. 

No  tunnel  work  was  necessaiy  in 
the  Ai-izona  construction  program 
but  a  number  of  bridges  had  to  be 
constructed.  Principal  ones  are 
across  the  Gila  River  at  Cholla 
mountain,  consisting  of  nine  150- 
foot  spans  and  short  trestle  ap- 
proaches, and  across  Hassayampa 
River,  consisting  of  eleven  80-foot 
spans,  and  the  second  crossing  of  the 
GUa  River  at  Antelope  Butte  near 
Wellton,  consisting  of  twelve  150- 
foot  spans.  All  of  the  main  bridges 
are  now  completed. 

Of  the  line,  88  per  cent  is  straight 
track  and  12  per  cent  curved  track; 
the  longest  straight  section  is  40 
miles  in  length,  and  the  maximum 
curve  three  degrees.  Except  for  five 
miles  in  the  Gila  Bend  Mountains, 
where  is  was  necessary  to  use  one 
per  cent  grade,  the  maximum  grade 
is  .5  of  1  per  cent. 

Throughout  the  entire  distance 
from  Picacho  to  Dome  the  track  is 
laid  with  creosoted  ties,  90-pound 


rails,  and  fully  ballasted  in  accord- 
ance with  the  Southern  Pacific's 
first  class  main  line  construction 
standards. 

A  festival  program  celebrating 
completion  of  tlie  new  construction 
will  be  held  at  Phoenix,  October  15, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Phoenix 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  Placing  of 
Phoenix  and  the  Salt  River  Valley 
on  a  main  line  railroad  is  regarded 
by  the  people  of  that  territory  as  an 
important  step  in  the  progress  of 
Arizona  and  the  Southwest. 

Large  areas  of  virgin  land  suitable 
for  cultivation  will  be  opened  to 
settlement  by  the  new  line,  especially 
in  the  region  west  of  the  Hassa- 
yampa River.  Availability  of  trans- 
portation is  also  expected  to  bring 
into  active  production  a  number  of 
mines,  operation  of  which  will  be 
made  profitable  by  rail  ser^dce. 

Passenger  travel  over  the  new 
hne,  it  is  thought,  will  do  still  more 
to  dispel  the  "arid  Arizona"  con- 
ception of  the  state  held  by  many 
travelers.

Convention  League  Is 

Out  for  Increased 

Membership 

Br.'^IXESS  men  throughout  San 
Francisco  are  responding  en- 
thusiastically to  the  opportun- 
ity friven  them  to  back  the  efforts  of 
the  Convention  and  Tourist  League 
in  its  I'.xpansion  Campaign  for  a 
larger  meml)ership. 

The  Convention  and  Tourist 
League,  during  the  last  ten  daj's, 
through  a  strong  team  organization 
liuilt  among  the  business  and  pro- 
fessional men  of  the  city,  has  sought 
S7.5,(KH)  to  continue  its  work  of 
l)ringing  convenfif>ns  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. It  is  endeavoring  to  raise  this 
money  through  3.00()  new  menihers 
for  the  League  at  §25  each. 

"Other  cities  have  large  appro- 
priations for  the  purpose  of  inducing 
conventions  to  lioki  their  se.«sions 
within  their  borilei-s,  and  San  Fran- 
cisco must  meet  this  competition," 
Colonel  Charles  A.  Simmons,  third 
vice-president  and  manager  of  the 
League,  declared.  "San  Francisco 
last  year  entertained  164  conven- 
tions, and  the  delegates  and  visitore 
who  came  with  them  left  more  than 
817,000,000  in  local  trade  channels. 
Do  comenlions  Tpaii? 

"San  Francisco's  reputation  as  a 
convention  city  is  going  to  be  upheld. 
I  am  positive  that  even-  organiza- 
tion, every  civic  unit  and  every 
citizen  in  San  Francisco  appreciates 
the  work  the  Convention  and 
Tourist  League  has  done  during  the 
past  sixteen  years,  and  will  give 
the  utmost  support  and  co-opera- 
tion. 

"Our  city  has  a  splendid  reputa- 
tion for  receiving  convention  visitors 
graceful!}'  and  considerately,  and 
we  are  going  to  uphold  that  tradi- 
tion. San  Francisco,  with  the  help  of 
its  progressive  citizens,  will  become 
the  convention  city  of  the  West.  San 
Francisco  must  entertain  conven- 
tions, not  only  a  few  months  of  the 
year,  but  througliout  the  year. 

"Conventions  mean  progress,  new 
wealth  and  new  population.  Everj^ 
city  in  the  I'nited  States  wants  these 
important  factors.  They  are  spend- 
ing thousands  of  dollars  annually  for 
them, 

"The  Convention  and  Tourist 
League  has  justified  its  financial 
worth  to  the  business  interests  of 
San  Francisco.  It  has  been  an  im- 
portant factor  toward  the  bmlding 
of  the  community.  The  League  has 
helped    to    create    that    good    will 


which  has  gone  far  in  advertising 
San  Francisco.  Everj'  convention 
delegate  and  visitor  who  has  left  our 
city  has  become  an  advertiser.  These 
visitors  have  carried  the  storj'  of 
San  Francisco's  hospitality  and 
ptjssibilities  to  the  four  corners  of 
the  globe. 

"Greater  co-ordination  is  neces- 
sary in  all  affairs  which  have  to  do 
with  the  progress  of  San  P>anci.sco. 
The  ( 'onvention  and  Tourist  League 
ha.s  tlone  a  great  work  in  tlie  past — 
on  very  little  monev.  With  the 
§7.5,000  derived  from  "the  .3,000  new 
memberships,  the  League  will  con- 
tinue with  its  fijiie  work  on  a  bigger, 
firmer  and  healthier  scale." 

Colonels  in  diarge  of  the  twelve 
districts  into  which  San  Francisco 
has  bt>en  di\ided  for  the  Expansion 
Campaign  are:  Charles  W.  Haas,  A. 
Gordon  Xicolson,  Joseph  \.  Garin, 
.Joseph  Civelli,  M.  McCants,  Irwin 
II.  Rice,  George  W.  Caswell,  Bvron 
G.  Mobbs,  H.  Hauser,  O.  "\"an 
Ever>',  R.  Lyle  Holder  and  H.  H. 
Scales. 

Refund  of  Switching 
Charges  Ordered 

Coast  Hock  and  tiravel  Compan}-, 
having  filed  a  complaint  with  the 
California  Railroad  Commi.s.sion 
against  Southern  Pacific  Company 
and  the  Atchison,  Topeka  &  Santa 
Fe  Railway  Company  alleging  that 
charges  assessed  on  carloads  of 
crushetl  rock,  sand  and  gravel  mov- 
ing from  Eliot  (near  Livermore)  on 
the  Southern  Pacific  Hne  to  track 
29,  Pier  50,  on  the  Atchison, 
Topeka  &  Santa  Fe  Railway  in 
the  Chma  Basin  Di.strict  in  San 
Francisco,  were  excessive,  when  in- 
cluding two  switching  charges, 
amounting  to  §6.20  per  car,  the 
Railroad  Commission  has  ordered 
defendants  to  refrain  from  collect- 
ing such  switching  charges  in  the 
futuie  and  to  refund  as  reparation 
the  amount  of  §6.20  per  car  on  all 
shipments  involved.

MEXICO 

Steps  Toward  Required  Use  of  Metric  Systen 
r       ■-._  gjj^  Goods. 


In  view  of  conflicting  reports  received  by  Ameri- 
can exporting  houses  from  their  Mexican  con- 
nections in  Me.xico  as  to  the  requirements  of  that 
country  for  the  use  of  metric  units  in  shipments  to 
Mexico.  Acting  Commercial  Attache  George 
Wythe  has  been  asked  to  investigate  the  situation 
thorotighjy.  His  findings  indicate  that  while  the 
Me.xican  Government  is  eager  to  extend  the  use  of 
the  metric  system  in  all  lines,  it  is  not  the  intention 
to  work  any  unnecessary  hardship  upon  the  trade, 
and  no  new  regulations  have  been  issued  which 
might  seriously  inconvenience  the  American  ex- 

The  strict  requirement  for  the  use  of  the  metric 
system  applies  only  to  the  sale  of  merchandise  in 


The  Mexican  Government  is  not  now  le^-ying 
fines  on  merchants  who  sell  goods  in  packages  which 
contain  labels  with  markings  in  other  systems  than 


this  requirement  by  packing  in  units  of  tens  < 
cases  containing  even  metric  units,  such  as  liters  or 
kilos.  For  some  time  to  come,  it  will  probably  be 
sufficient  that  labels  be  pasted  on  the  packages 
giving  the  measurement  of  weight  in  metric  units.

Washington  Agrees  to 

Increase  Appraiser's 

Store  Staff 

ACCORDING  to  telegraphic 
j\  advice  received  from  the 
-^  Chamber  of  Commerce  repre- 
sentative in  Washington,  the  Treas- 
ury Department  has  agreed  to  in- 
crease the  staff  at  the  San  Francisco 
Appraiser's  Store  in  order  to  relieve 
the  congestion  now  existing,  which 
is  due  to  the  increased  business  of 
the  port. 

Provision  has  been  made  for  the 
immediate  appointment  of  addi- 
tional employees  as  follows:  two 
examiner  clerks,  one  lulling  machine 
operator,  and  two  openers  and 
packers.  Further  additions  to  the 
staff  will  be  contingent  upon  an 
investigation  to  be  made  at  once  by 
a  special  agent  from  Washington  in 
co-operation  with  the  local  ap- 
praiser. 

News  of  these  appointments  will 
be  welcomed  by  local  importers, 
entry  of  whose  goods  has  been 
delayed  owing  to  the  congestion 
caused  l)oth  l)y  an  insufficient  staff 
and  lack  of  proper  space.  The  con- 
ditions prevailing  in  the  Appraiser's 
Store  are  not  temporary,  but  are 
permanent  conditions  resulting  from 
the  trementious  increase  in  the  vol- 
ume of  business  in  the  last  eight 
years.  During  the  first  eight  months 
of  this  year,  60,112  appraiser  pack- 
ages and  24,226  invoices  were  re- 
ceived, which  is  almost  double  the 
amount  received  during  the  same 
period  in  1918.  Indications  are  that

MEXICO  MAIL 

The  Foreign  Trade  Department 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  has 
received  telegraphic  advice  from 
Mexico  City  that  mail  from  Sinaloa, 
on  the  west  coast  of  Mexico,  will  be 
dispatched  \'ia  steamer  between 
Yavaros  and  Guaymas.  This  order 
was  issued  by  the  Mexican  Govern- 
ment in  response  to  a  telegraphic 
protest  made  by  the  local  Chamber 
through  the  American  Commercial 
Attache  at  Mexico  City,  that  no 
mail  had  been  received  from  points 
on  the  west  coast  of  Mexico  for  more 
than  ten  days  because  of  interrupted 
railway  service  consequent  upon  the 
Yaqui  uprising.  The  areas  affected 
by  Yaqui  uprising  were  compara- 
tively small.

Our  Business  with  Klamath  Falls 


IJHE  new  Natron  Cut-off 
between  Klamath  Falls 
and  Portland,  Oregon, 
recently  completed  by 
the  Southern  Pacific 
Company,  is  now  in  operation.  With 
the  inauguration  of  this  service 
Klamath  Falls,  a  thriving  progres- 
sive community,  acquired  the  bene- 
fits of  improved  transportation  fa- 
cilities to  wliich  it  was  j  ustly  entitled 
and  toward  which  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  gave  its 
earnest  support  and  co-operation. 

The  Natron  Cut-off  materially 
reduces  the  distance  between  Ivlam- 
ath  Falls  and  Portland,  and  propor- 
tionally reduces  the  freight  costs  be- 
tween the  two  cities,  and  the  advan- 
tage in  freight  differentials  which  for 
years  has  favored  San  Francisco 
shippers,  now  rests  with  new  neigh- 
bors in  the  North. 

Klamath  Falls  merchants,  with 
few  exceptions,  are  favorable  to  San 
Francisco,  and  because  of  long  years 
of  friendly  and  satisfactory  business 
relations,  have  come  to  look  upon 
this  city  as  their  logical  source  of 
supply.  This  feeling  of  neighborli- 
ness  is  reflected  in  recent  strong 
editorials  by  Mr.  E.  J.  Murray, 
publisher  of  the  Evening  Herald  of 
ivlamath  Falls.  Mr.  Miu-ray  is  a 
staunch  friend  of  San  Francisco  and 
is  keenly  interested  in  our  develop- 
ment of  still  closer  relationship  with 
his  people.  To  this  end  he  urges  that 
San  Francisco  shippers  meet  the 
freight  equalization  with  Portland 
and  use  every  influence  to  speed  up 
their  consignments. 


REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

The  greatest  number  of  cars  in  the 
history  of  the  railroads  was  loaded 
with  revenue  freight  the  week  ended 
September  18,  the  car  service  divi- 
sion of  the  American  Railway  Asso- 
ciation announced  September  29.     • 

The  total  for  the  week  was  1,187,- 
011  cars,  the  largest  number  loaded

Success  iUds 

for  the  man  who  travels  for  business-^ 

Note  them  carefully.  Whether  your  itinerary  be  long 
or  short,  traveling  by  train  will  help  you.    See  tihy. 


1  Speed.  The  train 
takes  you  safely  at  a 
speed  that  is  unlaw- 
ful for  other  types 
ot  transportation. 
Minimum  time  en- 
route;  more  time 
w  ith  the  customer. 

2  Punctuality.  Southern  Pacific  trains 
maintain  a  high  record  for  being  on  tiine. 
You  can  make  appointments  with  as- 
surance. 

3  Economy.  Check  your  expense  for  a  train 
trip  against  any  other  kind  of  transpor- 
tation. You'll  find  that  travel  by  train 
saves  money.  As  you  cut  your  expenses 
you  are  automatically  worth  more  money. 

4  Concentration.  On  the  train  you  are  free. 
No  distractions.  No  nervous  tension.  See 
what  quiet  adds  to  your  resources. 

5  Save  Business  Hours.  Overnight  Pull- 
man ser\ice  is  available  to  you.  A  night's 
restful  sleep,  with  arrival  on  the  job  in 
time  to  start  the  day.

6  Time  to  Plan.  Think 
out  your  campaign, 
prepare  your  sales 
story  (IS  you  ride. 
Thus  be  ready  for 
any  question  by  be- 
ing prepared  in  ad- 
vance. 

7  Write  Your  Report.  While  the  details 
are  still  fresh,  write  it  up  for  the  house. 
You'll  include  them  all,  then.  And  have 
them  for  reference  at  your  next  call.  Also, 
your  evenings  need  not  be  devoted  to 
this  job. 

S  Comfort.  Comfortable  accommodations. 
Long,  easy-riding  coaches  ar.d  Pullmans; 
smooth,  rock-ballasted  road-beds;  good 
meals  at  moderate  prices  in  dining  or 
lunch  cars.  These  are  plus-benefits  in 
travel  by  train. 

9  Fresh  Energy.  Relaxation — because  you 
have  no  travel  responsibility  from  t!~.e 
the  moment  you  board  the  train.  No 
traffic  worries.  Ever>'  ounce  of  your  en- 
ergy saved  for  your  job.  And  your  biggest 
asset  is  your  physical  well-being.

Street  Traffic  a  business  Problem 


By  MILLER  McCLINTOCK 

Director  oj  the  Albert  Russet  Ershne  Bureau  for  Street  Trafic  Research,  Harvard  University, 
for  the  San  Francisco  Street  Trafjic  Survey 


nd  Consulting  Engineer 


TREET  traffic  has  be- 
come one  of  the  most 
impiirtant  1  msiness  prob- 
lems (if  the  present  day. 
The  problem  is  of  recent 
origin.  Ten  years  ago  httle  thought 
was  given  to  the  use  of  the  streets. 
Space  in  general  far  exceeded  the  de- 
mand placed  upon  it.  Rapid  growth 
and  concentration  of  business  activ- 
ity, and  the  phenomenal  increase  in 
the  number  of  motor  vehicles,  have 
caused  street  congestion  in  San 
Francisco  as  in  all  of  the  other  great 
cities  of  the  country. 

Congestion  may  be  defined  as  a 
condition  where  the  streets  are  un- 
able to  carry  traffic  efficiently. 
Wherever  congestion  becomes  ap- 
parent it  has  an  immediate  effect 
upon  business  activity.  Streets  are 
very  intimately  connected  with  the 
commercial  structure  of  a  city.  In 
fact,  it  is  not  too  much  to  say  that 
business  is  based  upon  the  street 
system.  Without  traffic  no  business 
could  operate.  Every  establishment 
must  depend  upon  the  arteries  of 
travel  for  the  collection  and  distribu- 
tion of  the  materials  with  which  it 
works,  and  for  the  carriage  of  per- 
sons who  are  connected  as  laliorers 
or  patrons  with  its  operation.  This 
dependence  is  made  clear  if  one  will 
imagine  what  would  happen  in  a  city 
should  all  of  the  streets  become  im- 
passable. The  normal  activity  of  the 
community  would  cease  inmiediately 
and  business  would  be  impossible. 
It  is  equally  true  that  any  condition 
which  tends  to  render  the  use  of  the 
streets  difficult  tends  also  to  render 
business  difficult.  Those  business 
establishments  which  depend  upon 
street  traffic  for  the  cartage  of  ma- 
terials are  affected  by  the  increased 
costs  of  such  services.  This  is  a 
factor  which  is  of  major  importance 
in  a  city  such  as  San  Francisco  which 
must  depend  to  a  considerable  extent 
upon  its  ability  to  handle  materials 
of  commerce  speedily  and  economi- 
cally. 

Retail  business  establishments, 
however,  are  affected  most  directly 
by  street  congestion.  The  most  im- 
portant element  in  the  value  of  a 
retail  store  is  what  may  be  called 
accessibility,  that  is,  the  ability  of 
the  public  to  come  to  the  store 
readily.  If  the  concern  is  so  located 
that  great  numbers  of  people  can 


come  readily  to  make  purchases,  the 
opportunities  for  expansion  are  al- 
most unlimited.  If,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  establishment  is  so  located 
that  the  public  can  come  only  with 
difficulty,  growth  must  be  limited. 

Isolated  by  Traffic 

The  growth  in  congestion  is  tending 
to  lessen  the  accessibility  of  estab- 
lished business  concerns.  In  all  of 
the  larger  cities  this  condition  is 
making  itself  felt  in  a  movement 
which  is  known  as  decentralization, 
that  is,  the  tendency  toward  the 
growth  of  many  scattered  secondary 
business  districts.  Normally  carried 
on,  decentralization  may  not  be  un- 
desirable, but  abnormally  fostered  it 
can  have  no  other  than  unfortunate 
results.  Healthy  business  depends 
in  the  long  run  upon  established 
property  values,  and  these  cannot 
exist  where  there  is  a  constant  shift- 
ing of  the  business  center.  Los  An- 
geles is  an  example  of  a  city  that  has 
suffered  from  shifting  values.  For- 
tunately the  street  system  in  San 
Francisco  has  made  it  possible  for 
the  city  to  maintain  a  fair  degree  of 
accessibility  for  its  central  business 
district.  Growing  congestion  is  mak- 
ing itself  felt,  however,  and  the  city 
will  be  fortunate  if  by  an  early  start 
it  can  forestall  the  difficultie.'  that 
other  cities  are  facing. 

This  close  relation  between  the 
streets  and  business  has  caused  a 
new  attitude  on  the  part  of  com- 
mercial interests  in  the  larger  cities 
of  the  country.  Manufacturers  are 
coming  to  realize  that  it  is  just  as 
important  that  the  streets  .should  be 
open  for  free  use  as  it  is  that  their 
factories  should  operate  effectively. 
Merchandisers  have  concluded  that 
not  only  must  they  make  their  es- 
tablishments attractive  but  that 
they  must  also  insure  the  public  that 
their  stores  can  be  reached  conven- 
iently and  safely. 

The  recognition  of  street  traffic  as 
a  business  problem  is  well  illustrated 
in  San  Francisco  in  the  organization 
of  the  Street  Traffic  Survey  Com- 
mittee, composed  of  the  most  prom- 
inent business  men  in  the  city,  under 
the  chairmanship  of  R.  I.  Bentley, 
president  of  the  California  Packing 
Corporation.  Its  establishment  was 
the  result  of  the  request  of  public 
officials  that  street  traffic  be  treated 


seriously  as  a  real  and  basic  business 
problem. 

The  effectiveness  of  the  committee 
is  due  to  a  number  of  conditions.  In 
the  first  place  its  members  are  those 
who  are  most  directly  affected  by 
unfavorable  traffic  conditions.  Con- 
gestion and  alUed  street  problems 
are  not  matters  of  theory  to  the 
members  of  this  committee  but  very 
immediate  and  pressing  business 
problems.  Their  interest  is  witnessed 
by  the  fact  that  they  have  not  called 
upon  the  pubhc  treasury  to  finance 
their  work,  but  have  gone  into  their 
own  pockets  for  the  necessary  funds. 
In  the  second  place  the  methods  by 
which  they  are  approaching  the 
traffic  problem  are  distinctly  busi- 
nesslike. 

Heretofore  the  street  traffic  situ- 
ation has  been  approached  piece- 
meal, a  one-way  street  here,  a  boule- 
vard regulation  there,  a  prohibited 
left  turn  at  one  place  and  a  prohibit- 
ed parking  regulation  at  some  other 
place.  Each  of  these  regulations 
may  have  been  justified,  but  at  Ijest 
they  have  been  rarely  correlated  or 
passed  with  a  full  knowledge  and 
view  of  the  entire  system  of  control. 

The  Traffic  Survey  Committee 
has  started  out  with  a  basic  business 
principle:  get  the  facts  and  then  go 
ahead.  In  final  analysis  the  satis- 
factory control  of  traffic  is  an  engi- 
neering problem,  and  requires  the 
same  knowledge  and  technique  that 
is  demanded  for  a  water  system,  a 
sewage  system,  or  a  good  bridge. 
The  first  step  in  the  survey,  there- 
fore, is  a  collection  of  facts  so  that  it 
will  be  possible  to  proceed  intelli- 
gently to  the  design  of  a  system  of 
control.  Such  a  survey  reveals  many 
interesting  and  novel  conditions, 
which  even  the  most  accurate  ama- 
teur observers  have  failed  to  recog- 
nize. In  Los  Angeles,  for  example,  it 
was  discovered  that  a  regulation 
which  was  generally  considered  to 
be  satisfactory  was  costing  the 
motorists  thousands  of  dollars  a  day, 
and  was  decreasing  rather  than  in- 
creasing safety.  In  Chicago  it  was 
found  that  the  assumption  upon 
which  all  of  the  parking  rules  were 
based  was  entirely  erroneous,  and 
that  comprehensive  changes  would 
be  necessary  to  gain  economical 
street  use.    The  placing  of  traffic

The  Reapportionment  Fallot  c^^easures 


T  THE  coming  Novem- 
ber election  two  impor- 
tant  measures  will 
appear  on  the  ballot 
affecting  legislative  re- 
apportionment. The  issues  which 
center  around  these  two  measures 
concern  the  welfare  of  the  whole 
state.  These  are  two  very  Important 
measures;  they  affect  the  very  char- 
acter of  our  .state  government. 

One  of  these  mca.sures  (Number 
20  on  the  ballot)  proposes  to  throw 
the  control  of  both  houses  of  our 
.state  legislature  into  the  hanils  of 
Alameda,  San  Francisco  and  Los 
Angeles  counties,  which  constitute 
the  two  metropolitan  centers  of  the 
state.  It  will  result  in  the  practical 
disfranchisement  of  the  whole  state 
lying  outsitle  of  the  two  metropoli- 
tan centers  at  Los  Angeles  and 
aroimd  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco. 
It  proposes  to  accomplish  in  Cali- 
fornia what  the  law  resolutely  for- 
bids in  New  York  and  Illinois. 
Neither  the  city  of  New  York  nor 
the  city  of  Chicago  is  permitted  to 
dominate  its  respective  .state  leg- 
islature. In  both  those  states  the 
injustice  and  the  iniquity  of  metro- 
pohtan  control  of  the  state  legisla- 
ture is  too  fully  appreciated  to  be 
tolerated.  This  measure  (Number 
20  on  the  ballot)  is  therefore  very 
much  against  the  best  interests  of 
the  state  and  is  out  of  line  with  the 
best  practice  in  other  states  and 
ought  to  be  defeated. 

The  other  of  these  ballot  measures 
(Number  28  on  the  ballot)  proposes 
to  affect  the  control  of  both  houses 
of  the  state  legislature  in  such  a  way 
that  the  control  of  the  lower  house, 
the  Assembly,  will  fall  to  the  metro- 
poUtan  centers  of  the  state,  while 
the  control  of  the  upper  house,  the 
Senate,  will  go  to  the  part  of  the 
state  lying  outside  these  metropoli- 
tan centers.  Lender  this  measure. 
Number  28,  legislative  representa- 


%  COL.  ALLEN  G.  WRIGHT

Qommrrce 

tion  in  the  Assembly  will  be  based 
on  population,  and  in  the  Senate  on 
territorj'.  This  divided  scheme  of 
representation,  partly  based  on  pop- 
ulation antl  partly  based  on  terri- 
torj', designed,  as  it  is,  to  prevent 
the  control  of  both  houses  by  the 
industrial  as  opposed  to  the  rural 
sections  of  the  state,  is  the  scheme 
of  legislative  representation  sub- 
stantially as  provided  for  in  twenty- 
nine  other  states  of  the  Union,  in- 
cluding, among  others.  New  York, 
Penn.sylvania,  Massachusetts,  Iowa 
and  Ohio. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce  ever  since  192L  after  a 
careful  study  and  a  thorough  exami- 
nation, hits  been  committed  to  the 
policy  that  the  Constitution  of  the 
state  ought  to  be  so  ameniled  as  to 
prevent  the  control  of  both  houses  of 
the  state  legislature  by  the  metro- 
politan centers.  Proposition  28  on 
the  ballot  offers  such  a  constitutional 
amendment.  On  the  other  hand. 
Proposition  No.  20  on  the  ballot 
perpetuates  a  scheme  of  legislative 
representation  that  will  in  substance 
disfranchise  all  of  the  state  lying 
outside  of  the  two  metropolitan 
centers.  The  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  is,  accordingly, 
recommending  that  on  Proposition 
20  the  vote  be  ''No"  and  that  on 
Proposition  28  the  vote  be  "Yes." 

When  the  Constitution  of  Cali- 
fornia was  adopted  in  1879,  fortj'- 
seven  years  ago,  representation  in 
both  houses,  on  the  basis  of  popula- 
tion, did  not  have  the  practical  effect 
of  disfranchising  any  large  section  of 
the  state,  and  there  was  no  immedi- 
ate danger  of  the  domination  of  the 
halls  of  legislation  by  the  industrial 
sections  of  the  state.  ^Vith  the 
growth  of  the  state,  with  the  rapid 


increase  of  metropolitan  populations, 
an  increase  the  more  than  probable 
continuance  of  which  must  be  recog- 
nized, the  situation  in  1926  is  wholly 
different  from  that  of  1879,  and  calls 
for  a  different  adjustment.  In  1883 
when  the  first  apportionment  of  the 
legislature  was  made  under  the  Con- 
stitution, the  three  counties  of  Ala- 
meda, San  Francisco  and  Los  An- 
geles were  alloted  1.5  .senators  and  29 
assemblymen  out  of  a  Senate  of  40 
and  an  Assembly  of  80  members.  In 
1912,  following  the  Fedi'ral  census  of 
1910,  these  three  counties  were  al- 
lowed 19  .senators  and  .36  a.ssembly- 
men.  At  that  time  a  persistent  fight 
was  matle  to  allot  them  20  senators 
and  40  assembljTnen,  half  of  each 
house.  It  has  been  estimated  that  60 
or  70  per  cent  of  the  population  of 
the  state  will  now  be  found  in  these 
two  metropolitan  centers,  which 
make  up  about  three  per  cent  only 
of  the  territorj'  of  the  state,  and 
another  estimate  is  that  the  popula- 
tion of  these  metropolitan  centers 
exceeds  one-half  the  population  of 
the  state  by  200,000.  In  any  event 
as  conditions  now  exist,  if  not  on  the 
ba-sis  of  the  1920  Federal  census,  cer- 
tainly on  the  basis  of  the  fast  ap)- 
proaching  1930  Federal  census,  leg- 
islative reapportionment  in  both 
houses  on  the  basis  of  population 
alone,  such  as  is  proposed  by  Propo- 
sition 20,  would  throw  the  control  of 
both  houses  to  the  metropolitan 
centers  of  the  state,  and  three  per 
cent  of  the  territorj'  would  control 
both  houses  of  the  legislature  and  the 
other  ninety-seven  per  cent  would 
have  onlv  minoritj'  representation,  a 
practical  disfranchisement. 

The  Constitution  of  1879  provided 
that  the  legislature  should  reappor- 
tion legislative  representation  in  As- 
semtslj'  and  Senate  everj'  ten  j'ears 
immediatelj'  following  each  Federal 
census,   commencing  with   that   of

UN  FRAXCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  1926 


Chamber  of  Commerce  Ballot  i?ecommendations 


OLLOWING  are  the  recom- 
mendations and  analyses  of 
the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  on  the 
thirty-nine  ballot  proposi- 
tions to  be  voted  upon  at 
the  general  election  in  No- 
vember. The  recommendations  are  made 
08  the  result  of  a  thorough  consideration 
of  the  merits  of  the  various  propositions 
by  the  Legislative  Committee: 

STATE  BALLOT  PROPOSITIONS: 

No.  1.  Veterans  Welfare  Bond  Act  of  1925 
In  1022.  bonds  in  the  sum  of  ten  mil- 
lion dollars  were  authorized  to  create  a 
fund  to  provide  farms  and  home  sites  for 
veterans,  in  accordance  with  the  pro- 
visions of  the  Act  of  1921.  The  proceeds 
of  that  Act  were  used  to  purchase  lands 
for  re-sale  to  veterans  on  lonp:-time  pay- 
ments. No  veteran  was  entitled  to 
property  in  excess  of  the  values  named 
in  the  statute.  The  money  received  by 
way  of  interest  and  by  way  of  purchase 
price  from  the  veterans  is  used  to  meet 
the  cost  of  operating  the  Bureau  having 
this  land  settlement  scheme  in  charge 
and  to  meet  the  interest  charges  and 
provide  for  the  redemption  of  the  bonds. 
All  of  this  money  has  been  used  for  the 
purposes  authorized  and  many  applica- 
tions for  farms  and  home  sites  remain 
unprovided  for. 

The  measure  on  the  ballot  wouUl  au- 
thorize another  bond  issue  of  twenty 
million  dollars,  the  proceeds  of  which 
will  be  used  for  the  same  purposes  as 
those  authorized  by  the  Act  of  1921. 
Land  purchased  by  the  state  with  the 
proceeds  of  these  funds  is,  of  course,  not 
subject  to  taxation  because  the  title 
thereto  is  held  by  the  state,  but  in  spite 
of  this  fact  we  favor  the  proposed  bond 
issue.  Where  other  states  are  paying 
bonu.ses  to  veterans,  California  is  sell- 
ing them  farms  or  home  sites  on  easy 
terms. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.   2.    Taxing    Highway    Transportation 
Companies. 

This  proposition  is  an  amendment  to 
the  Constitution  under  authority  of 
which  the  companies  owning  or  operat- 
ing as  common  carriers  upon  the  public 
highways  between  fixed  termini  or  over 
regular  routes,  jitney  busses,  stages  or 
motor  vehicles,  when  transporting  per- 
sons would  pay  a  tax  of  4}^%  of  their 
gross  receipts  and  when  operating  trucks 
for  transportation  of  freight  would  pay 
5%  of  their  gross  receipts.  This  tax 
would  be  in  lieu  of  all  other  taxes  and 
licenses  and  would  have  the  effect  of 
taxing  such  common  carriers  in  a  similar 
way  to  that  in  which  steam  railroads 
and  electric  railroads  are  now  taxed  for 
state  purposes.  Half  of  these  taxes  go 
to  the  state  and  half  to  the  counties  and 
shall  be  used  exclusively  for  maintain- 
ing and  repairing  the  pubhc  highways. 

We  had  no  data  upon  which  to  con- 
clude whether  the  percentages  fixed  in 
the  proposed  amendment  were  proper 
or  not.  In  1923.  however,  the  legisla- 
ture, by  legislative  act,  attempted  to 
tax  these  companies  at  the  rate  of  4% 
of  their  gross  receipts.  This  act  was 
later  held  unconstitutional  and  in  1924, 
on  the  initiative  of  the  companies  con- 


CAN  YOU  USE 
A 

VOTING 
MACHINE? 

Through  the  co-operation  of 
Registrar  ZemansJiy  a  machine 
has  been  placed  on  the  Marine 
floor  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce and  will  be  demonstrated 
daily  until  election. 

All  members  and  others  are 
urged  to  avail  themselies  of  (his 
opportunity  in  order  that  errors 
in  toting  may  be  atoided. 


cemed,  a  measure  similar  to  that  ap- 
pearing on  the  present  ballot  was  pro- 
posed under  which  the  companies  would 
be  taxed  at  the  rate  of  4%.  That  meas- 
ure failed  to  carry.  The  present  per- 
centages have  been  raised  to  ^}i%  in 
the  case  of  passenger  service  and  5%  m 
the  case  of  freight  service.  As  the  legis- 
lature by  a  two-thirds  vote  couldincrease 
these  rates  if  they  were  not  found  suffi- 
cient, and  as  the  ratesproposed  are  those 
determined  by  the  legislature  itself,  the 
amendment  on  the  ballot,  appearing  as  a 
legislative  amendment  and  not  as  an 
initiative  amendment,  we  approve  the 
measure. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


This  is  a  referendum  on  an  Act  amend- 
ing Section  12  and  adding  Section  21^2 
to  the  General  Dairy  Law  of  California. 
The  purpose  of  the  Act  is  to  further 
regidate  the  manufacture  and  sale  of 
oleomargarine  and  to  prohibit  the  use 
of  dairy  terms  and  symbols  in  connec- 
tion therewith. 

No  Recommendation. 


No.  4.     Gasoline  Tax. 

This  measure  raises  the  present  gaso- 
line tax  from  two  cents  to  three  cents 
per  gallon.  The  proposed  increase  will 
be  used  exclusively  for  new  construction 
of  state  highways.  The  proceeds  of  the 
present  gasoline  tax  are  devoted  to  the 
cost  of  repairs  and  maintenance.  There 
will  be  raised  by  this  measure  during 
the  next  12  years  for  new  construction 
about  SlO.OOO.OOn  each  year,  which  will 
enable  the  early  completion  of  the  state 
system  of  highways.  It  is  to  the  inter- 
est of  the  state  that  the  highway  sys- 
tem be  completed  at  the  earliest 
practicable  date.  This  method  of  pro- 
viding funds  therefor  by  taxing  those 
who    use    the    highwavs    is    fair    and 

able. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 


No.  5.     Salaries  of  State  Officers. 

This  amendment  proWdes  for  the  fol- 
lowing salary  increases:  Lieutenant 
(lovemor  from  one  thousand  to  four 
thousand  dollars  per  annum;  Secretary 
of  State  from  five  thousand  to  seven 
thousand  dollars  per  annum;  Controller 
fjom  five  thousand  to  seven  thousand 
dollars  per  annum;  Treasurer  from  five 
to  seven  thousand  dollars  per  annum; 
Svirveyor  General  from  five  thousand  to 
.-even  thousand  dollars  per  annum;  At- 
torney General  from  six  thousand  to 
eight  thousand  dollars  per  annum;  Su- 
perintendent of  Public  Construction 
from  five  thousand  to  eight  thousand 
dollars  per  annum. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 


No.  6.     Racing. 

Thi.-^  measure  creates  a  board  to  regu- 
late and  license  horse  racing.  It  will 
permit  pari-mutuel  betting  within  race 
track  enclosure.  It  limits  the  racing 
period  at  each  track  to  two  meetings  in 
one  calendar  year  of  not  more  than 
twenty-five  days'  duration  with  inter- 
vals of  not  less  than  ninety  days  be- 
tween such  meets.  Racing  will  not  be 
permitted  except  on  tracks  constructed 
with  the  board's  approval.  All  the  old 
evils  of  book-making  are  eliminated  by 
this  measure.  A  measure  like  this  has 
been  in  successful  operation  in  other 
states. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 

No.  7.  Taxation  of  Short  Line  Steam 
Railroads. 
This  applies  to  short  line  steam  rail- 
roads independently  operated  not  e.x- 
ceeding  250  miles  in  length,  and  pro- 
vides that  they  shall  be  taxed  at  5}4% 
instead  of  7%  of  gross  earnings.  The 
534%  rate  is  that  now  paid  by  electric 
routes.  The  7%  rate  is  that  now  paid 
by  all  steam  railroads  including  not 
only  the  large  transcontinental  lines 
but  the  short  line  railroads.  About  38 
lines  would  be  affected,  ten  of  which  are 
imder  ten  miles  in  length,  half  of  which 
are  under  twenty  miles  long,  the  aver- 
age length  of  which  is  about  thirty-four 
miles  and  the  longest  of  which  is  156 
miles.  The  7%  rate  on  these  routes  be- 
ing imposed  on  gross  earnings  is  out  of 
proportion  to  their  ability  to  pay.  It 
can  only  be  redressed  by  a  constitu- 
tional amendment. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  8.     State  Highways. 

This  measure  would  appropriate  $5,- 
000,000  per  year  for  12  years  from  the 
general  funds  of  the  state  for  highway 
construction.  It  would  mean  an  increase 
in  state  taxes  that  must  be  met  by  rais- 
ing the  tax  rates  on  corporations  or 
levying  an  ad  valorem  tax  on  all  prop- 
erty throughout  the  state.  It  is  sec- 
tional in  character  as  it  would  allocate 
the  larger  sums  to  one  favored  section 
of  the  state  at  the  ex^pense  of  develop- 
ment in  the  interest  of  the  whole  state. 
Recommendation;    Vote  NO. 


No.  9.     Repeal  of  Wright  Act. 

This  is  a  measure  to  repeal  the  pres- 
est  State  Prohibition  Law.  If  it  carries 
there  will  be  no  state  prohibition  law  in

state  machinery  for  enforcing  the  Fed- 
eral Prohibition  Law,  which  is  what,  in 
effect,  the  Wright  Act  now  purports  to 
provide  for. 

No  Recommendation. 

No.  10.  Bonds  for  State  Building  and 
University  Buildings. 
Tlii.s  nica.sure  authorizes  the  issuance 
of  $.S,.")lM),(K)0  of  state  hondf.  the  pro- 
ceeds of  which  will  l)c  allocated  as  fol-

state  buildings  at  Sacramento,  $1,250,- 
000;  for  state  buildings  at  Los  Angeles, 
?l,2.'i0.000. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 

No.  11.    Exempting    Secondary    Schools 

from  Taxation. 

By  this  measure,  proiJerty  used  for 

scliool  pur|)0ses  by  private  secondary 

schools  woidd  be  exempt  from  taxation. 

If    carried,    proiicrty    of    considerable 

amount  in  value  woidd  be  withdrawn 

from  the  taxable  property  of  the  state. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 

No.  12.  Tax  Exemption  for  Veterans  and 
Others. 
Under  the  present  provisions  of  the 
Constitution,  veterans  of  the  army  or 
navy  who  had  war  service  and  were 
honorablv  dis(^harged  and  their  widows 
are  entitled  to  claim  as  exempt  from 
taxation  one  thousand  dollars  worth  of 
property  provided  they  have  not  more 
than  five  thousand  dollars  worth  of 
property  altogether.  This  amendment 
would  extend  this  provision  to  soldiers 
or  sailors  discharged  from  the  army  and 
navy  for  disability  incurred  in  line  of 
duty  during  times  of  peace  and  to  the 
widows  of  such  discharged  soldiers  and 
sailors.  There  is  not  the  same  justifi- 
cation for  granting  tax  exemption  to 
peace-time  discharged  soldiers  and 
sailors  as  exists  with  reference  to  war- 
time discharged  soldiers  and  sailors. 
Recommendation:     Vote  NO. 


useful  purpose  but  on  the  contrary  de- 
lays corporate  action,  adds  to  the  ex- 
pense of  such  proceedings  as  are  referred 
to  and  gives  no  added  protection  to  the 
interest  of  the  stockholders  concerned. 
Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 

No.  16.     School  Districts. 

Thisamendnii'lil  wiiulrl  aiilli<irize  the 
legi.slature  to  classify  school  ilistricts. 
high  school  flistricts,  ami  junior  ciillege 
districts  and  legislate  for  Iheni  by  gen- 
eral laws  applicable  to  such  classifica- 
tions. .\t  present  the  legislature  cannot 
classifv  such  districts  and  must  attempt 
the  almost  impossible  feat  of  providing 
by  general  law  for  districts  of  varying 
size  and  varying  needs. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 

No.  16.    Salaries  of  Judges. 

One-half  of  t  he  salary  of  each  8U|)erior 
court  judge  is  now  paid  by  the  state  and 
the  other  half  thereof  is  now  paid  by  the 
county  for  which  he  is  elected.  The 
salary  of  the  justices  of  the  supreme 
court  are  now  fixed  in  the  Constitution 
at  eight  thousand  dollars  a  year  and  of 
the  justices  of  the  several  district 
courts  of  appeal  at  seven  thousand  dol- 
lars a  year.  This  amendment  wouUl 
permit  the  legislature  to  fix  the  salaries 
of  justices  of  the  supreme  court  and 
justices  of  the  .several  district  courts  of 
appeal  and  would  fix  the  amount  to  be 
paid  by  the  state  for  the  salaries  of 
superior  court  judges  at  three  thousand 
dollars  per  annum,  leaving  to  the 
(^unties  the  burden  of  any  |M)rtion  of 
tlie  salary  in  exce.ss  of  three  thousand 
dollars  a  year. 
The  salaries  of  allthestatejudgesought 
to  be  increased.  Ideally  thestate  should 
pay  at  least  one-half  of  the  salaries  of 
the  superior  court  judges.  The  amend- 
ment fails  to  preserve  this  principle. 
Balancing  all  considerations,  however, 
the  amendment  is  approved. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  13.     Suffrage. 

The  present  provisions  of  the  law  per- 
mit voters  who  are  absent  on  election 
day,  under  certain  circumstances,  to 
cast  their  vote  by  mail.  This  measure 
would  extend  this  privilege  to  those 
electors  absent  by  reason  of  being  en- 
gaged in  the  civil  or  congressional 
service  of  the  United  States  or  of  the 
state,  and  to  those  who  because  of  in- 
jury or  disability  are  absent  from  their 
precincts  or  are  unable  to  go  to  the 
polling  places.  The  details  of  these 
general  principles  will  be  provided  for 
by  legislative  action. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  14.     Corporations. 

At  present  corporations  cannot  in- 
crease their  stock  or  bonded  indebted- 
ness without  the  consent  of  those  hold- 
ing at  least  two-thirds  of  the  amount  in 
value  of  the  stock,  given  at  a  special 
meeting  called  for  that  purpose  after 
sixty  days'  public  notice.  The  amend- 
ment would  do  away  with  the  necessity 
of  the  sixty  days'  public  notice,  which 
is  a  provision  in  the  law  that  serves  no 


No.  17.    Requiring  Bible  in  Schools. 

This  measure,  if  adopted,  would  re- 
quire the  purchase  with  i>ublic  school 
ftmds  and  the  use  of  the  Holy  Bible  in 
the  public  schools  of  this  state  and 
would  require  that  a  copy  of  the  Bible 
be  placed  in  every  public  school  library 
and  in  every  public  school  classroom 
and  that  it  be  studied  in  such  schools  or 
read  by  any  teacher  without  comment 
as  part  of  the  daily  school  exercises,  but 
that  no  pupil  should  be  required  to  read 
the  Bible  or  hear  it  read  contrary  to  the 
wishes  of  his  parents  or  guardian. 

A  familiarity  with  the  Bible  on  the 
part  of  children  of  school  age  is  very 
desirable,  but  the  separation  of  church 
and  state  is  so  firmly  fixed  as  an  essen- 
tial feature  of  the  genius  of  American 
institutions  that  a  compulsory  use  of 
the  Bible  in  public  schools,  even  sur- 
rounded by  the  restrictions  suggested 
in  this  amendment,  is  subject  to  criti- 
cism on  the  grounds  of  broad  public 
policy. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


izes  an  issuance  of  state  Ironds  of  five 
hundred  million  dollars.  Such  a  bonded 
<lel)t  in  itself  would  Ije  a  staggering  load 
for  the  state  to  carry  and  for  the  t.ax- 
payers  to  meet.  The  proceeds  of  such 
tionds  wrjuld  purchase  proi)erty  for  the 
state  which  would  at  once  liecome  tax 
exempt  as  state  property  thus  throwing 
still  greater  burdens  on  the  taxpayers. 
This  measure  is  like  the  Water  and 
Power  .Vets  which  have  been  submitted 
to  the  people  of  thestate  at  the  last  two 
preceding  general  elections  and  over- 
whelmingly disapproved  by  them.  Four 
years  ago  it  was  defeated  by  a  majority 
of  nearly  .354.000  and  two  years  ago  by 
a  majority  of  over  131.000. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 

No.  19.    Pensioning  Judges. 

This  measure  provides  that  judges  of 
the  supreme  court,  district  courts  of  aiv 
pea\.  and  suiwrior  court  judges,  sixty 
years  of  age.  who  have  had  a  service  as 
such  judges  aggregating  twenty-four 
years,  may  retire  and  shall  receive  for 
life  a  monthly  salary  equaling  half  of 
that  last  received.  No  such  judge  re- 
tiring and  practicing  law  shall  be  en- 
titled to  a  pension. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 

No.  20.  Reapportionment  Commission. 
This  amendment  provides  for  a  re- 
apportionment commission  to  reappor- 
tion the  legislative  representation  in  the 
Senate  and  Assembly  on  the  basis  of  the 
population  as  disclosed  by  the  1920 
census,  and  in  the  event  of  any  future 
failure  of  the  legislature  to  make  legis- 
lative reapportionment  in  both  houses 
on  the  basis  of  population,  at  the  first 
session  following  the  Federal  census  this 
reapportionment  commission  may  then 
make  such  reapportionment. 

This  measure  will  throw  the  control 
of  both  houses  of  the  legislature  into  the 
hand?  of  the  metropolitan  centers  of  the 
state  and  practically  disfranchise  the 
balance  of  the  state.  New  York  City  is 
not  permitted  to  dominate  the  legisla- 
ture of  New  York  state  nor  is  Chicago 
permitted  to  dominate  the  legislature 
of  Illinois.  The  legislature  of  California 
should  not  fall  under  the  control  of  the 
two  metropolitan  centers  of  California. 
Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


No.  18.    Water  and  Power. 

This  amendment  creates  a  board  to 
embark  the  state  in  the  business  of 
developing  and  distributing  water  and 
electric  energy  and  to  that  end  author- 


No.  21.  Political  Subdivisions  Incurring 
Indebtedness. 
This  measure  provides  that  whenever 
two  or  more  propositions  for  incurring 
any  indebtedness  or  liability  are  sub- 
mitted at  the  same  election  to  the  elec- 
tors of  any  county,  city,  town,  township 
or  school  "district",  the  votes  cast  for  and 
against  each  proposition  shall  be  coimt- 
ed  separately  and  when  two-thirds  of 
the  qualified  electors  voting  on  any  one 
of  such  propositions  vote  in  favor  there- 
of such  proposition  shall  be  deemed 
adopted.  At  the  present  time,  if  two  or 
more  propositions  were  submitted  none 
carries  unless  it  receive  the  assent  of 
two-thirds  of  the  voters  voting  at  the 
election.  This  amendment  is  designed 
to  make  the  approval  of  bond  proposi- 
tions easier  than  at  present.  Instead  of 
releasing  the  restrictions  upon  the  vot- 
ing of  bonds  it  is  believed  that  any 
change  should  be  in  the  direction  of  in- 
creasing them. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO.

Chamber  of  Commerce  5allot  i?ecommendations 


[  continued  from  page  8 1 

No.  22.  Exempting  Forest  Trees  from 
Taxation. 
This  measure  would  exempt  from 
taxation  immature  forest  trees  planted 
on  land  not  previously  hearing  mer- 
chantable timber,  or  planted  or  of  nat- 
ural growth  upon  lands  from  which  70% 
of  the  original  growth  timber  over  16 
inches  in  diameter  has  been  removed. 
It  provides  that  the  maturity  of  forest 
trees  or  timber  shall  be  determmed  by 
a  board  comprising  the  assessor  of  the 
county  where  the  forests  are  located 
and  representatives  from  the  State 
Boards  of  Forestry  and  Equalization, 
after  fortv  years  from  the  plantmg  or 
removal  of  the  original  timber.  I  his 
measure  is  designed  to  encourage  re- 
forestation and  the  development  of 
timber  resources  that  do  not  now  exist. 
From  the  advices  given  us,  the  forty- 
year  period  provided  for  by  the  propo- 
sition, under  all  circumstances,  seems 
to  be  a  proper  one.  In  effect  by  this 
amendment  the  state  is  foregoing  tax- 
ation during  immaturity  of  timlxT  that 
would  otherwise  not  exist. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  23.    Election  at  Primary. 

Provides  that  candidates  for  judicial, 
school,  countv,  township  or  other  non- 
partisan offices  receiving  a  niajority 
vote  at  a  primary  election  shall  be 
elected  thereto  without  the  necessity 
of  running  a  second  time  at  the  general 
election  following. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  24.  Irrigation  Districts  and  Transfer 
of  Funds. 
This  proposition  has  two  purposes  in 
view.  One  is  to  authorize  irrigation 
districts,  for  purpose  of  acquiring  water 
and  water  rights  and  other  necessary 
property  rights,  to  acquire  and  hold  the 
stock  of  corporations,  domestic  or  for- 
eign, owning  such  property  rights. 
There  is  no  criticism  of  this  purpose  in 
the  amendment.  If  such  a  change  in 
the  law,  however,  is  necessary  it  can 
doubtless  await  a  delay  of  two  years 
without  serious  inconveniences. 

The  second  purpose  of  the  amendment 
is  open  to  serious  objection.  The  second 
feature  of  the  amendment  is  very  much 
like  an  amendment  that  was  submitted 
in  1924  permitting  the  transfer  of  public 
funds  to  meet  payments  from  other 
funds.  Two  years  ago  the  Chamber  was 
of  record  in  opposition  to  the  amend- 
ment submitted  at  that  time,  upon  the 
ground  that  these  transfers  were  not 
protected  by  proper  or  sufficient  safe- 
guards. The  same  objection  applies  to 
the  proposed  amendment.  Under  the 
proposed  amendment  the  treasurer  of 
any  city,  county  or  city  and  county  may 
transfer  funds  in  his  custody  to  any 
political  subdivision  if  approved  by  a 
resolution  adopted  by  the  governmg 
body  of  the  city,  county  or  city  and 
county.  In  other  words,  the  county 
treasurer  of  Alameda  County  could 
transfer  the  funds  of  a  reclamation  dis- 
trict to  the  county  of  Alameda  to  pro- 
vide funds  for  meeting  the  obligations 
for  the  maintenance  purposes  of  that 
county  if  such  a  transfer  were  approved 
by  the  board  of  supervisors  of  Alameda 
County.  Such  a  transfer  of  funds  should 


only  be  authorized  if  it  were  approved 
by  the  trustees  of  the  reclamation  dis- 
trict. In  other  words,  the  defect  in  this 
proposition  is  that  the  governing  body 
of  the  borrowing  political  subdivision 
determines  upon  the  propriety  of  the 
loan  rather  than  the  governing  body  of 
the  loaning  political  subdivision. 

The  proposition  is  further  objection- 
able in  that  it  not  only  permits  the 
treasurer  to  transfer  moneys  from  one 
fund  to  another  for  the  purposes  of 
meeting  the  maintenance  purposes  of  a 
countv,  for  example,  but  obliges  him  to 
do  so!  and  where  the  funds  are  trans- 
ferred from  one  fund  to  another  fund  of 
the  same  political  subdivision  no  reso- 
lution of  the  board  of  supervisors  is  re- 
quired and  no  provision  is  made  that 
the  monev  so  tran.sferred  shall  be  repaid 
by  any  definite  date,  nor  is  there  any 
limit  "placed  upon  the  amount  of  the 
moneys  which  may  be  so  transferred, 
nor  is  it  provided  that  no  such  transfer 
shall  be  made  unless  taxes  accruing  arc 
sufficient  to  refund  to  the  lending  fund 
from  the  borrowing  fund  the  amount  so 
loaned.  . 

This  proposition  is  doubtless  aimed 
at  a  purpose  which  would  be  justifiable 
if  surrounded  by  proper  safeguards,  but 
in  its  present  form  it  would  not  only 
permit  but  would  require  transfers  of 
funds  where  the  repayment  of  the  loan 
would  not  necessarily  l>e  assured. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


No.  25.     Taxation  and  Local  Assessment 
Exemption. 

This  measure  provides  that  all  prop- 
erty used  or  held  exclusively  for  the 
burial  or  other  deposit  of  the  human 
dead  or  for  the  care,  maintenance  or 
upkeep  of  such  property  or  such  dead, 
except  as  used  or  held  for  profit,  shall 
be  free  from  taxation  and  local  assess- 
ment. 

As  far  back  as  1S59  and  as  late  as  1911 
the  legislature  has  attempted  to  exempt 
property  of  this  character  from  tax- 
ation. "But  the  legislature  can  only 
exempt  such  property  from  taxation  as 
the  constitution  authorizes.  Hence  the 
necessity  of  such  an  amendment  as  the 
above  which  was  suggested  to  the  legis- 
lature by  the  county  assessors. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 


No.  27.    Judicial  Council. 

This  amendment  creates  a  judicial 
council  of  certain  judges,  under  the 
presidency  of  the  chief  justice  or  acting 
chief  justice,  and  empowers  that  council 
to  survey  the  conduct  of  business  in  the 
several  courts  with  a  \'iew  to  simplify- 
ing or  improving  the  administration  of 
justice.  The  council  may  suggest  to  the 
courts  what  seems  to  be  in  the  interests 
of  uniformity  and  the  e.'cpedition  of 
business.  It  may  make  recommenda- 
tions to  the  legislature.  It  may  adopt 
or  amend  rules  of  practice  or  procedure 
for  all  the  courts  not  inconsistent  with 
laws  which  are  now  or  may  hereafter  be 
in  force.  If  this  amendment  is  adopted 
and  the  purpose  of  it  is  observed,  it  will 
result  in  withdrawing  from  the  legisla- 
ture the  practice  of  providing  rules  of 
procedure  for  the  courts  and  will  leave 
it  for  the  courts,  through  the  judicial 
council,  to  adopt  its  own  rules  of  prac- 
tice. The  power  of  framing  rules  of 
practice  should  reside  with  the  courts, 
who  are  more  familiar  with  the  practi- 
cal workings  of  the  rules  than  any  legis- 
lature can  be.  This  proposed  step  is  in 
line  with  what  is  now  being  done  in  the 
Federal  courts. 

Recommendation:     Vote  YES. 


No.  26.  Giving  Appellate  Courts  Trial 
Court  Powers. 
This  measure  would  authorize  an  .np- 
pellate  court,  in  cases  where  a  jury  trial 
is  not  a  matter  of  right  or  is  waived,  to 
ascertain  the  facts  on  appeal  from  the 
evidence  produced  at  the  trial  court  or 
from  additional  evidence  in  the  appel- 
late court,  and  to  make  findings  of  fact 
contrary  to  or  additional  to  those  made 
by  the  trial  court  and  thereupon  to  enter 
such  decision  on  appeal  as  may  seem 
proper.  The  purpose  of  this  amendment 
is  to  do  away  with  the  necessity  of  send- 
ing the  case  back  to  the  trial  court  for  a 
new  trial  with  all  the  additional  ex- 
pense and  delay  involved  therein  when 
the  correct  decision  is  obvious  to  the 
appellate  court.  This  amendment  will 
enable  the  appellate  court  to  determine 
on  appeal  the  litigation  finally  in  such 
cases. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  28.  Legislative  Reapportionment. 
This  mea.'iurp  provides  for  the  appor- 
tionment of  legislative  representation 
on  the  basis  of  population  in  the  assem- 
bly and  on  a  territorial  basis  in  the 
Senate  so  that  in  the  Senate  no  county 
shall  have  more  than  one  sen.ator  and 
the  smaller  contiguous  coimties  shall 
be  grouped  in  groups  of  two  or  three  and 
represented  by  a  single  senator.  The 
present  size  of  the  Assembly,  eighty, 
and  the  present  size  of  the  Senate,  forty, 
will  not  be  increased  by  this  amend- 
ment. This  amendment  will  prevent 
the  control  of  both  houses  of  the  legis- 
lature falling  under  the  domination  of 
the  metropolitan  centers  of  the  state, 
and,  on  the  contrary,  will  produce  a 
balance  of  power  in  the  legislature  be- 
tween the  metropolitan  and  the  rural 
sections  of  the  state — a  balance  of 
power  that  is  believed  will  make  for 
fewer  and  better  laws  and  will  create  a 
more  wholesome  situation  for  the  legis- 
lative activities  of  the  state. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  CHARTER 
AMENDMENTS: 
No.  29.    Water  Bonds. 

Under  the  present  provisions  of  the 
charter  there  is  a  15%  limit  on  the 
bonded  debt  of  San  Francisco,  with 
certain  minor  exceptions  which  require 
no  comment  in  this  connection.  The 
charter  amendment  proposes  to  exempt 
all  bonds  for  the  acquisition  of  our 
water  supply  heretofore  or  hereafter 
voted  from  any  debt  limit  and  proposes 
to  make  the  debt  limit  for  the  remain- 
ing bonded  indebtedness  not  exceed 
12%,  with  the  same  minor  exceptions 
as  are  now  permitted  under  the  present 
15%  limit. 

The  practical  effect  of  this  charter 
amendment  will  be  to  materially  in- 
crease the  bonded  indebtedness  capac- 
ity of  San  Francisco.    Under  the_New

SAX  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  192B 


Laying  the  9^ss  building's  Cornerstone 


HE  cornerstone  of  the 
thirty-story  Russ  Build- 
ing will  be  laid  on  Mon- 
day, November  1,  at 
'-'  -  --^-^  I  noon — just  one  year  be- 
fnir  111.'  il.iy  when  this  greatest  office 
building  on  the  Pacific  Coast  will  be 
completed  and  ready  for  occupancy. 

Mayor  James  Rolph,  Jr.,  Presi- 
dent Clay  Miller  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  Presi- 
dent S.  Waldo  Coleman  of  the  Russ 
Building  Company,  will  be  the  three 
speakers  at  the  cornerstone  laying 
ceremony. 

When  Adolphus  Gustave  Russ,  in 
1847,  bought  the  future  site  of  the 
Russ  Building  for  $12.50  he  had 
more  courage  than  the  other  San 
Franciscans  who  attended  the  mu- 
nicipal auction  that  day,  because  his 
bid  of  $12.50  for  nearly  three  50 
varas  was  the  highest  of  all  ventured. 
Undoubtedly  there  were  many  pres- 
ent that  day  who  thought  Mr.  Russ 
had  made  a  bad  buy.  As  we  all  know 
now,  his  confidence  in  the  future  of 
San  Francisco  was  correct.  A  square 
foot  of  that  land  is  worth  today 
nearly  four  times  as  much  as  he  paid 
for  the  whole  parcel. 

When  the  "Russ  House"  was 
erected  in  1862,  its  builders  had 
more  confidence  in  the  future  of  the 
city  than  other  San  Franciscans  of 
that  day — because,  for  many  years, 
the  Russ  House  was  the  finest  hotel 
in  the  city. 

In  every  stage 'of  San  Francisco's 
progress  the  leaders  of  that  progress 
had  to  have  more  confidence  than 
their  neighbors  in  the  future  of  the 
city. 

And  recently,  when  it  was  an- 
nounced that  two  national  bond 
houses  had  underwritten  the  pro- 
posal to  build  the  largest  office 
building  on  the  Pacific  Coast  on 
Montgomery  Street — a  building  that 
should  be  50  per  cent  greater  in  size 
than  the  Telephone  Building  and 
have  refinements  in  equipment  and 
service  beyond  any  office  building  in 
existence — there  were  many  who 
felt  and  expressed  uncertainty  as  to 
whether  this  new  proposal  of  public 
ownership  for  a  great  office  building 
could  ever  be  carried  out.  And,  even 
admitting  that  the  building  might 
be  built,  there  were  many  who 
doubted  whether  its  eight  acres  of 
office  floor  space  could  be  rented. 

That  was  less  than  a  year  ago,  and 
now  that  confidence  in  San  Fran- 
cisco expressed  by  E.  H.  Rollins  & 
Sons  and  Blyth,  Witter  &  Co.  has 
been  justified,  for  the  major  portion 


of  the  certificates  representing  pre- 
ferred ami  common  stock  have  been 
sold  and,  one  year  before  the  com- 
pletion of  the  building,  a  consider- 
able proportion  of  the  office  space 
has  already  been  rented. 

As  the  steel  frame  of  this  great 
structure  rises,  its  massive  propor- 
tions are  better  appreciated.  The 
main  portion  of  the  building,  occu- 
pying a  full  block  frontage,  will  rise 
to  or  above  the  height  of  the  sur- 


rounding buildings,  from  which 
point  the  tower  portion — itself  as 
large  as  many  of  the  largest  build- 
ings on  Montgomery  Street — wiU 
rise  to  a  height  of  over  400  feet  from 
the  sidewalk. 

More  than  10,000  tons  of  struc- 
tural and  reinforcing  steel  are  being 
used.  There  will  be  28  miles  of 
electric  conduits  and  75  miles  of 
electric   wire.   The  lighting  of  the

Chamber  of  Commerce  5allot  i?ecommendations 


[  oontlDued  from  p««e  10 ) 
York  State  Law  bonds  of  municipalities 
are  not  authorized  investments  for  sav- 
ings banks,  trust  companieSj  insurance 
companies  and  such  institutions  except 
in  those  cases  where  the  bonded  debt  of 
the  municipality,  exclusive  of  water 
bonds,  does  not  exceed  7%.  The  pro- 
poeed  amendment  would  authorize 
bonded  indebtedness  exclusive  of  water 
bonds  to  the  amount  of  12%.  It  is 
therefore, from  the  viewpoint  of  market 
ability  of  the  bonds,  undesirable.  It  is 
alsoundesirablefrom  the  point  of  viewof 
the  actual  amount  of  bonded  indebted- 
ness which  will  be  authorized.  If  the 
water  bonds  are  to  be  excluded  from  a 
debt  limit  the  other  bonds  authorized 
should  not  exceed  7%.  There  is  an  un- 
healthy fiscal  condition  existing  when 
they  do.  In  \-iew  of  the  annual  retire- 
ment of  outstanding  bonds  and  in  view 
of  the  larger  assessment  roll  which  .San 
Francisco  will  have  as  the  outgrowth  of 
the  reappraisal  of  real  property  now 
under  way,  there  is  no  necessity  of 
raising  the  15%  present  limit  in  order 
to  provide  the  necessary  bonds  for  the 
completion  of  the  Hetch  Hetchy  water 
supply  system. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


No.  30.    Air  Port. 

This  measure  will  authorize  San 
Francisco  to  purchase  land  as  a  site  for 
a  municipal  air  port  outside  the  city 
limits.  There  is  some  question  of  the 
right  of  the  city  to  purchase  a  site  for 
such  purposes  outside  of  the  city  limits 
under  the  present  charter  provi.sions. 
The  amendment  is  necessary  to  confer 
that  right  in  clear  terms.  If  a  municipal 
air  port  is  to  be  acquired  the  city  must 
go  outside  of  the  city  limits  to  acquire 
it.  There  is  no  practical  available  site 
within  the  city  limits. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  31.  Semi-Monthly  Payment  of  Sala- 
ries. 
This  amendment  will  authorize  semi- 
monthly pajTnent  of  salaries  to  city  em- 
ployees, thus  bringing  the  city  in  line 
with  the  state  law  which  requires  semi- 
monthly pajTnent  of  salaries  of  em- 
ployees in  ci^nl  life. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  32.  Salaries  of  Mayor  and  Super- 
visors. 
This  measure  provides  for  the  follow- 
ing salary  increases:  Mayor  from  six 
thousand  to  twelve  thousand  a  year; 
super^asors,  each,  from  two  thousand 
four  hundred  dollars  to  four  thousand 
dollars  a  year.  Two  years  ago  the 
Chamber  approved  increasing  the  may- 
or's salary  from  sL\  thousand  to  twelve 
thousand  dollars.  The  present  salary  is 
out  of  proportion  to  the  responsibility 
and  dignity  of  the  mayor's  office.  The 
demands  upon  the  time  of  a  conscien- 
tious supe^^•isor  have  been  so  increased 
in  recent  years  that  the  proposed  in- 
crease in  salary  of  the  supervisors  can 
be  justified. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


Palace  of  Fine  Arts  now  stands  and  in 
return  will  authorize  the  city  to  grant 
to  the  United  States  Government  per- 
mission to  construct,  miiintain  and 
operate  a  spur  track  on  certain  named 
streets  to  connect  with  the  .\rmy  Sup- 
ply Depot  at  Fort  Mason,  now  Ijeing 
used  by  the  I'nitedStates  Government. 
Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  34.  Retirement  Allowances  to  Cer- 
tain Teachers. 
Two  years  ago  the  teachers  of  San 
Francisco  were  brought  under  the  bene- 
fit of  a  retirement  system  provided  for 
present  city  emplovees  by  a  charter 
amendment  adopted  in  1921.  Teachers 
who  retired  prior  to  the  1924  change  in 
the  charter  are  not  entitled  to  the  pen- 
sion applicable  to  teachers  retiring 
since  the  1924  change.  The  proposed 
amendment  would  extend  the  benefits 
of  this  pension  system  to  teachers  who 
had  retired  since  1913  and  prior  to  1924. 
The  amendment  affects  a  compara- 
tively small  group  of  teachers  who  are 
today  in  receipt  of  utterly  inadequate 
pensions. 

Recommendation:    Vote  YES. 


No.  36.    School  Department. 

This  measure  was  submitted  by  the 
super^Tsora  but  was  not  sponsored  by 
the  board  of  education.  It  covers  two 
subject  matters.  The  first  change  re- 
quires the  establishment  of  an  eligible 
list  of  teachers  as  a  result  of  examina- 
tions determined  and  controlled  by  the 
board  of  education.  All  teachers  ap- 
pointed either  to  regular  positions  or  to 
substitute  positions  shall  be  appointed 
from  such  an  eligible  list  in  the  order  of 
their  standing  thereon,  thus  eliminating 
any  freedom  of  choice  on  the  part  of  the 
board  of  education. 

The  second  change  proposed  by  this 
amen^lment  relates  to  the  levying  of 
taxes  for  the  school  department.  It  re- 
quires the  board  of  supervisors  at  the 
time  of  levying  other  taxes  to  levy  and 
cause  to  be  collected  for  the  common 
school  fund  a  separate  and  distinct  tax 
for  the  support  of  each  of  the  following: 

1.  Public  kindergarten  schools; 

2.  Public  day  and  evening  elemen- 
tary schools; 

3.  Public  day  and  evening  high 
schools,  technical  schools  and 
other  secondary  schools; 

4.  Such  other  schools  or  policies  as 
may  be  authorized  by  the  laws  of 
the  State  of  California; 

provided  that  the  rate  of  either  sepa- 
rate tax  for  the  support  of  such  schools 
and  purposes  shall  not  exceed  in  any 
instance  the  maximum  rate  fixed  by  the 
state  law.  The  amendment  is  open  to 
criticism  in  that  it  takes  from  the 
board  of  education  all  freedom  in  the 
choice  and  selection  of  teachers  and  in 
that  on  both  subject  matters  the 
amendment  makes  charter  provisions 
for  subjects  not  authorized  by  the  state 
constitution. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


charter.  It  proposes,  also,  to  blanket 
in  as  civil  service  employees  all  of  the 
present  employees  of  the  playground 
commission  who  have  served  for  a 
period  of  one  year  prior  to  the  approval 
of  the  amendment. 

The  amendment  has  been  carelessly 
drawn  and  is  so  worded  as  to  work  a 
repeal  of  the  present  charter  provi- 
sions makiag  certain  employees  of  the 
board  of  education  appointable  only 
from  ciWI  service  eligible  lists.  Serious 

Questions  arise  whether  playground 
irectors  ought  to  be  made  permanent 
civil  service  employees  of  the  play- 
ground commission  as  proposed  by  the 
amendment. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


No.  37.  Appointment  and  Removal  from 
Office. 
Under  the  present  charter  the  mayor 
is  authorized  to  appoint  certain  officers 
whom  he  may  remove  at  any  time  for 
cause.  This  provision  of  the  charter 
was  the  very  keystone  of  the  arrh  of  the 
whole  charter  scheme,  designed  as  it 
was  to  increase  the  authority  and  cor- 
respondingly increase  and  center  the 
responsibility  of  the  mayor  as  chief 
executive  and  administrative  officer  of 
the  city.  The  amendment  proposes  that 
the  appointments  of  all  boards  or  com- 
missions by  the  mayor  shall  be  ratified 
and  approved  by  the  board  of  supervis- 
ors. The  responsibility  for  all  such  ap- 
pointments now  rests  with  the  mayor. 
The  amendment  would  divide  this  re- 
sponsibility between  the  mayor  and  the 
majority  of  the  board  of  supenisors. 
The  amendment  also  proWdes  that  all 
such  appointees  may  be  removed  by  the 
mayor  only  subject  to  the  approval  of 
the  board  of  supervisors.  Thiswillhave 
the  efTect  of  di\nding  responsibility  for 
efficient  and  satisfactory  administra- 
tion of  any  department,  w  hich  now  rests 
entirely  on  the  mayor,  between  the 
mayor  and  a  majgrity  of  the  board  of 
supervisors. 

The  amendment  also  provides  that  if 
six  members  of  the  board  shall  file  with 
the  mayor  charges  in  writing  of  mal- 
feasance or  non-feasance  of  office 
against  any  member  of  such  board  or 
commission,  the  supeirisors  shall  there- 
upon hear  and  determine  such  charges, 
and  if  such  charges  are  sustained  by  a 
vote  of  two-thirds  of  the  members  of 
the  board  of  superrisors  the  person  so 
charged  shall  be  removed  from  office. 
This  amendment  with  all  these  en- 
croachments on  the  present  authority 
of  the  mayor  will  have  the  practical 
eflect  of  making  the  board  of  supervis- 
ors the  executive  as  well  as  the  legisla- 
tive body  in  the  city.  It  has  all  the 
political  disadvantages  of  divided  re- 
sponsibility and  is  an  attack  upon  the 
fundamental  purpose  of  the  present 
charter  which  sought  to  divorce,  as  a 
matter  of  sound  public  policy,  adminis- 
trative and  executive  functions  from 
the  board  of  supervisors  and  to  limit 
that  body  to  the  consideration  of  mat- 
ters of  legislative  and  fiscal  policy. 
Recommendation:    Vote  NO.

What  Irrigation  Has  T)one  for  the  IVest 


[IHAT  part  of  the  United 
States  west  of  the  101st 
meridian,  extending 
from  South  Dakota  to 
the  Rio  Grande,  has,  in 
the  main,  less  than  twenty  inches  of 
annual  rainfall. 

In  this  region,  with  a  normal  pre- 
cipitation ranging  from  less  than 
three  inches  m  the  Imperial  Valley 
to  about  twenty  inches  in  Western 
Nebraska  and  parts  of  the  plateau 
region,  we  have  the  greatest  arid  and 
semi-arid  areas  of  the  United  States. 

Without  irrigation,  much  of  West- 
em  America  was  and  would  be  today 
uninhabitable. 

When  the  Spanish  explorers  first 
entered  the  territory  now  forming 
the  states  of  New  Me,\ico  and  Ari- 
zona, they  found  the  remains  of  pre- 
historic aqueducts,  and  some  na- 
tives crudely  watering  their  crops. 

The  beginning  of  extensive  irriga- 
tion undertakings  in  the  United 
States  by  Americans  dates  back  to 
1847,  when  Brigham  Young  settled 
the  Mormons  in  the  Salt  Lake  Val- 
ley. 

The  Mormon  settlement  in  Utah 
and  the  discovery  of  gold  in  CaU- 
fornia  occurred  about  the  same 
time,  and  both  the  Mormon  farmers 
and  the  California  miners  were  com- 
pelled to  irrigate  to  live. 

From  these  small  beginnings,  irri- 
gation had  gradually  spread,  until 
in  1870,  when  the  first  considerable 
community  depending  on  irrigated 
agriculture  settled  at  Greeley,  Colo- 
rado, under  the  patronage  of  Horace 
Greeley. 

The  first  great  activity  in  irriga- 
tion construction  in  this  country 
occurred  in  the  late  eighties  and 
early  nineties,  when  many  large 
private  enterprises  were  undertaken 
by  those  who  ejfpected  to  make  large 
profits  in  land  increased  in  value  by 
irrigation. 

Few  of  these  private  undertakings 
were  profitable,  to  the  promoters, 
although  they  added  materially  to 
the  irrigated  area  of  the  West. 

This  development  was  followed 
by  a  long  period  during  which  irriga- 
tion securities  were  not  in  fashion  in 
the  East  and  httle  new  construction 
took  place. 

In  1902,  through  the  initiative  of 
Theodore  Roosevelt,  Congress  passed 
the  U.  S.  R.  S.  Law,  which  provided 
that  the  Federal  Government  would 
construct  great  irrigation  works 
throughout  the  arid  states,  from  the 
proceeds  of  the  sale  and  rentals  of 
western  public  lands. 


%  J.  R.  MASON 

Member  of  S.  F.  Chamber  of  Commerce 

This  latter  medium  has  been  em- 
ployed now  for  over  23  years,  during 
which  period  about  25  major  enter- 
prises have  been  developed  with  an 
aggregate  area  now  under  irrigation 
through  the  functioning  of  the  U.  S. 
R.  S.  Law  of  about  1,700,000  acres 
with  works  constructed,  capable  of 
irrigating  about  3,000,000  acres. 

In  the  initial  poriod  of  U.  S.  R.  S. 
operations,  the  Government  under- 
took to  deal  directly  with  individual 
farmers  in  collections,  water  rentals, 
distribution,  etc. 

This  proved  onerous  and  for  the 
past  number  of  years,  the  reclama- 
tion policy  has  been  to  encourage 
the  organization  of  irrigation  dis- 
tricts in  the  various  sections  of  each 
reclamation  unit,  and  instead  of 
undertaking  to  deal  directly  with 
individual  farmers,  to  deal  rather 
with  a  pubhc  corporate  body,  giving 
over  the  management  of  local  affairs 
such  as  tax  collections,  water  rentals, 
water  distribution,  local  operation 
and  maintenance,  to  the  irrigation 
district  and  giving  Federal  attention 
only  to  the  major  factors  of  each 
enterprise  such  as  large  storage 
dams,  trunk  line  canals,  hydro- 
electric works  and  main  structures. 

This  practice  is  rapidly  being 
adopted  in  each  of  the  major  enter- 
prises with  attendant  harmony,  in- 
creased efficiency,  and  satisfaction 
among  settlers. 

Probably  any  new  work  by  the 
United  States  Reclamation  Service 
will  be  started  only  conditioned  upon 
first  the  organization  of  an  irrigation 
chstrict  in  each  principal  local  unit, 
to  act  as  the  agency  for  applying  the 
major  assistance  which  rightly  be- 
longs to  the  Government,  and  which 
requires  a  capital  investment  in 
excess  of  what  most  local  communi- 
ties could  finance.  Oftentimes  a 
single  large  dam  impounds  sufficient 
water  to  irrigate  an  area  of  land 
extending  along  a  river  valley  for 
fifty  or  one  hundred  mQes. 

This  is  constructive  work  of  the 
highest  order  entirely  within  the 
duty  and  power  of  the  Government 
and  wiU  carry  into  effect  a  policy 
which  has  already  earned  the  hearty 
approval  of  all  constructively  think- 
ing Americans,  and  resulted  in 
changing  great  western  desert  areas, 
formerly  without  value,  unproduc- 
tive, unsettled  and  untaxed,  into 
gardens   where   happy,    wholesome 


homes  are  established  out  under  the 
blue  of  our  western  skies. 

The  first  enumeration  of  irrigated 
lands  in  the  United  States  was  made 
by  the  United  States  Census  in  1890; 
3,631,381  acres  of  land  were  shown 
to  be  under  irrigation  in  1889.  The 
census  of  1900  showed  7,527,690 
acres  under  irrigation  in  1899,  an 
increase  of  over  100  per  cent  ia  ten 
years. 

By  1909,  the  area  under  irrigation 
had  increased  to  13,738,485  acres, 
or  about  82  per  cent  in  the  ten-year 
period,  and  at  the  present  time,  the 
irrigated  area  in  the  United  States  is 
estimated  at  about  21,000,000  acres 
— which  is  at  the  rate  of  about  262,- 
500  acres  per  year  for  the  80-year 
period  from  1847  to  the  present  date. 

This  total  amount  of  21,000,000 
acres  now  under  irrigation  in  the 
United  States  is  only  about  one-half 
of  the  area  under  irrigation  in  Brit- 
ish India  which  has  been  financed 
mainly  by  the  British  Government 
and  provinces. 

Summarizing  irrigation  in  the 
United  States,  therefore,  we  have: 

About  $850,000,000  invested  in 
all  irrigation  works  in  the  United 
States. 

An  annual  production  of  over  one 
billion  dollars  from  the  irrigated 
farms  which,  without  irrigation 
would  yield  but  a  fraction  of  this, 
and  in  many  instances  be  absolutely 
uninhabitable. 

This  brief  survey  of  irrigation 
development  in  the  United  States  to 
date  will  give  a  background  and  per- 
spective, when  considering  "Irriga- 
tion Credit  and  its  Importance  to 
Western  Development." 

In  a  state  where  even  a  lawn  can- 
not be  kept  alive  throughout  one- 
half  of  the  year,  without  irrigation, 
the  question  of  "water"  is  surely 
paramount. 

No  business  interest  or  group  of 
individuals  can  long  reside  in  Cali- 
fornia without  appreciating  two 
facts,  viz.:  First,  that  without  irri- 
gation, no  wide  crop  diversification 
can  be  enjoyed  and  little,  other  than 
limited  grain  crops  raised  and, 
second,  that  the  governing  factor  in 
the  permanent  growth  and  future 
development  of  this  and  aU  other 
western  states  is — permanent  con- 
trol of  the  West's  greatest  natural 
resources,  viz.,  "water,"  by  the 
public  for  the  use  and  best  good  of 
the  greatest  number,  rather  than 
exploitation  by  the  few  to  the  per-

manpnt  prejudice  and  loss  of  the 
public. 

Let  us  briefly  consider  a  few 
specific  instances  of  how  "water"  or 
the  lack  of  it  has  affected  the  historj' 
of  other  arid  regions  of  the  earth. 

It  is  of  interest  here  to  note,  that 
a  very  large  part  of  the  earth's  sur- 
face is  in  the  arid  and  semi-arid 
region  with  an  annual  rainfall  of  less 
than  twenty  inches,  and  that  the 
practice  of  irrigation  is  as  old  as  the 
history  of  the  human  race. 

The  first  recorded  historj'  of 
national  life  is  of  those  peoples  who 
resided  in  Mesopotamia — "the  land 
between  the  rivers,"  lying  in  a  fertile 
plain  anil  foothill  between  the 
Tigris  and  Kuphrates  rivers. 

Forty  million  people  resided  there 
in  the  days  when  those  vast  areas 
were  irrigated  and  when  enormous 
crops  of  wheat,  vetches,  peas,  apples, 
dates,  oranges  and  grapes  were  a 
source  of  living  to  the  farmers  and 
of  life  and  trade  to  the  cities,  and 
when  the  well-irrigated  plains  were 
dotted  by  farm  homes  and  great 
cities. 

Herds  of  camel,  oxen,  sheep  and 
goats  fed  in  the  green  pastures  and 
were  an  important  factor  in  domestic 
and  foreign  commerce. 

How  about  the  securities  that 
might  have  been  issued  by  the  great 
cities  of  the  Assyrian  Empire,  such 
as  Ninevah,  Assur,  Ivhorsted,  Adia- 
bene,-  or  Imgue  Bal? 

What  about  the  bonds  issued  by 
the  Bal)vlonian  cities  of  Opis,  Sep- 
para,  Kish,  Babylon,  Larsa  and 
Logash,  for  pubUc  improvements, 
such  as  palaces,  public  baths,  foun- 
tains,aqueducts,bridgesand  temples? 

AVTiat  made  that  vast  Mesopota- 
mian  Plain,  with  its  tens  of  milhons 
of  urban  and  rural  peoples,  the 
greatest  center  of  commerce,  art, 
grandeur,  influence  and  wealth  of  all 
ancient  nations? 

Irrigation  made  life  in  that  region 
abundant,  and  its  destruction  im- 
mediately rendered  it  uninhabitable. 

A  few  wars  and  conquests  by 
Mongols  and  others  unfit  to  main- 
tain the  source  of  life  there,  rang 
down  the  curtain  on  that  ci\nhza- 
tion,  those  millions  of  farmers  and 
those  scores  of  great  cities  with  everj' 
business  interest  therein. 

It  was  not  a  question  of  how  well 
the  cities  could  continue  to  grow  and 
prosper  without  the  support  of  a 
"back  countrj',"  but  it  was  a  matter 
of  utter  destruction  and  silence  as 


soon  as  the  silver  cord  of  life — the 
irrigation  canal — was  broken. 

Would  not  this  same  result  apply 
to  our  populated  and  highly  organ- 
ized region  today,  situated  in  an 
arid  and  semi-arid  region,  should 
something  shut  off  the  water  from 
the  fields? 

The  earliest  extensive  irrigation 
in  the  United  States  was  in  the  Salt 
Lake  Valley.  How  long  would  Salt 
Lake,  Provo  and  Logan,  be  beauti- 
ful cities  and  be  able  to  borrow 
money  at  414  per  cent  on  their 
bonds,  if  something  happened  to  the 
irrigation  canals  leading  from  the 
Jordan  and  Bear  rivers? 

Bond  dealers  from  New  York, 
Chicago,  St.  IvOuis,  Denver,  Port- 
land and  San  Francisco  have  Ijeen 
competitors  for  these  i.ssues  at  high 
prices.  School  District  bonds  in  no 
way  rank  ahead  of  Irrigation  Dis- 
trict bonds. 

Standing  at  Exchequer  Dam  of 
the  Merced  Irrigation  District  and 
watching  the  start  of  those  great 
canals,  good-sized  rivers  themselves, 
out  over  the  semi-arid  plains  for 
manj'  miles,  one  cannot  but  ask 
himself — "^^■hat  is  the  most  im- 
portant factor  in  the  life  of  the 
thousands  who  live  in  beautiful 
rural  and  urban  homes  out  along 
these  great  canals  and  their  tribu- 
taries?" 

Which  bonds  should  an  investor 
rather  own,  of  all  those  issued  by 
those  prosperous  communities  which 
did  not  exist  and  were  hardly 
dreamed  of,  oijy  a  few  years  ago? 

Which  of  these  bonds  have  the 
best  security — City,  County,  School 
District,  Highway  District  or  Irri- 
gation District? 

Answering  this  question  we  may 
ask  ourselves  "L'pon  the  proper 
functioning  and  management  of 
what  political  subdivision  do  all 
others  within  a  reclaimed  or  desert 
area  depend?" 

If  school  districts,  highway  dis- 
tricts, city  or  county  administra- 
tions, should  break  down,  or  their 
credit  be  so  impaired  as  to  make 
further  borrowing  of  money  or  im- 
provement impossible,  some  incon- 
veniences and  disappointments 
would  ensue,  but  life  and  h^^ng 
could  j'et  be  maintained  within  this 
area. 

Should  the  irrigation  reservoirs 
and  canals  dry  up,  or  the  source  of 
credit  for  their  maintenance  and 
perpetuity  be  impaired,  the  plains 
and  desert  would  creep  back  stealth- 
ily and   quickly  and  silence  reign 


again  supreme  over  those  areas 
where  are  the  voices  of  happy  chil- 
dren in  nice  homes;  contented  and 
well-to-do  farmers,  merchants  and 
bankers;  great  railways,  and  public 
utilities,  sugar  factories,  packing 
houses,  flour  mills,  paved  highways, 
great  school  buildings  and  churches, 
so  long  as  the  silver  cord  is  function- 
ing, which  carries  life,  happiness  and 
prosperity  to  the  irrigated  farms. 

The  Imperial  Valley  was  an  al- 
most impassable  desert  less  than 
thirty  years  ago.  Today,  S100,000,- 
000  of  individual  and  corporate 
property  is  there,  with  65,000 
people;  an  annual  crop  production  of 
35,000  carloads,  valued  at  S60,000,- 
000;  beautiful  cities,  schools,  public 
libraries,  courthouse,  paved  high- 
ways, citrus  orchards,  alfalfa  farms 
and  all  those  urban  and  rural  signs 
which  spell  stability  and  prosperity. 

I  recently  visited  the  Imperial 
Irrigation  District's  "intake"  at 
Andrade  on  the  Colorado  River,  and 
as  I  saw  that  vast  river  turned  out 
of  its  course,  starting  on  its  way  to 
irrigate  200,000  acres  of  alluvial  soil 
in  Mexico,  and  450,000  acres  in  the 
United  States,  and  remembered  the 
importance  of  that  canal  to  that 
great  fertile,  alluvial  plain,  the  urban 
and  rural  homes  of  human  beings 
wholly  dependent  upon  its  proper 
functioning  for  life,  I  again  reahzed 
that  in  arid  regions,  which  cover 
most  of  California  and  the  West, 
"irrigation  systems"  and  "irrigation 
district  bonds"  definitely  come  first  in 
importance,  as  school,  bonds,  city 
bonds,  corporate  bonds  and  all  other 
values  within  such  an  area,  are  pred- 
icated upon  an  adequate  water  sup- 
ply and  its  proper  distribution. 

How  then  can  all  values  be 
assured  and  maintained  within  irri- 
gated areasor  communities  supported 
bj'  irrigated  agriculture? 

Only  by  maintaining  and  strength- 
ening the  credit  position  of  irriga- 
tion district  securities,  and  an  in- 
telligent and  constructive  interest 
therein.  By  recognizing  as  a  menace, 
all  those  agencies  which  would  limit 
the  public  use  of  the  lifeblood  of 
western  advancement  and  enter- 
prise. 

B}-  assisting  in  word  and  deed, 
those  agencies  which  are  endeavor- 
ing to  conser\'e  for  public  use, 
western  waters,  to  the  end  that 
domestic,  agricultural  and  industrial 
users  may  all,  in  due  order,  benefit 
from  the  use  of  this,  our  greatest 
natural  resource  of  the  West,  each

^an  Francisco,  the  Chocolate  Center 


URING 


the    past 
occasion 


few 
has 


months 

arisen  very  frequently  to 
state  that  San  Francisco 
the  western  center  of 
T  the  other  hne  of  manu- 
factvire.  It  lias  also  frequently  been 
the  case  that  San  Francisco  has  been 
seen  to  have  the  largest  plant  in  the 
West  in  operation  to  make  a  particu- 
lar hne  of  output.  For  instance,  the 
largest  plant  in  the  West  is  located 
here  for  the  manufacture  of  cotton 
and  jute  bags,  another  for  the  manu- 
facture of  hemp  rope,  others  ttirning 
out  wire  rope,  coin  savings  banks, 
tennis  rackets,  envelopes,  coffee, 
paper  boxes  and  cartons,  glass 
bottles  and  containers,  etc.  In  all 
these  hnes  and  in  many  others,  yet 
to  be  told,  San  Francisco  proper 
leads  in  western  manufacture.  Rest 
assured  that  these  statements  of  San 
Francisco's  industrial  leadership  are 
made  only  when  and  because  the 
facts  warrant  them. 

And  so  it  is  that  again  such  facts 
can  be  stated,  for  San  Francisco, 
with  her  four  chocolate  plants,  is 
outstandingly  the  chocolate  manu- 
facturing center  of  the  West,  and 
one  of  these  plants  is  the  largest 
plant  manufacturing  chocolate  west 
of  the  Atlantic  Seaboard.  Chocolate  is 
just  one  more  of  the  many  industries 
which  make  San  Francisco  the  pre- 
mier industrial  center  of  the  Pacific. 
Chocolate  manufacture  presents 
another  clear  picture,  similar  to  that 
of  coffee,  sugar,  etc.,  of  the  manner 
in  which  industry,  the  basic  eco- 
nomic function,  activates  agricul- 
ture, trade  and  finance.  Because  the 
industry  is  located  here,  the  cocoa 
bean  shipments  and  the  finished 
chocolate  product  increase  the  busi- 
ness of  the  port,  which  is  trade.  This 
industry  increases  the  city's  bank 
deposits  by  both  the  deposits  of  the 
chocolate  corporations  and  of  the 
employees  of  the  chocolate  industry, 
which  helps  to  make  San  Francisco 
the  financial  center  of  the  West, 
while  the  acti\'ity  of  this  industry  in 
general  over  the  country,  placing, 
as  it  does,  its  orders  for  the  cocoa 
bean,  make  it  possible  for  cocoa 
beans  to  be  grown,  and  wages  to  be 
paid  on  the  plantations  in  the  West 
Indies,  the  West  Coast  of  Africa, 
Central  and  South  America,  Cejdon, 
etc.,  and  this  is  an  example  of  indus- 
try stimulating  agriculture.  It  is  be- 
cause industry  is  thus  so  basic  and 
so  necessary  for  community  growth, 
that  we  are  aU  vitally  interested  in 
seeing  it  fostered.

cisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 

When  the  cocoa  bean  is  growing 
on  the  tree,  it  develops  in  a  large 
pulpy,  pecan-shaped  pod  about  a 
foot  in  length.  The  beans  themselves 
are  not  much  larger  than  shelled 
almonds,  and  as  they  grow  they  are 
nestled  closely  in  the  pulp  of  the 
whitish  pod.  When  ripe  the  natives 
pick  the  fruit,  and,  separating  the 
seeds  or  beans  from  the  pulp  of  the 
pod,  spread  them  out  to  dry  in  the 
sun  for  three  or  four  days.  It  is  the 
dried  beans  that  are  shipped  to  the 
San  Francisco  plants  to  be  made  into 
edible  chocolate. 

Like  the  coffee  bean,  the  choco- 
late bean  requires  roasting  to  bring 
out  its  quahties.  About  eight  hun- 
dred pounds  of  raw  beans  are  re- 
quirecl  to  fiU  properly  one  of  the  big 
revolving  roasters  where  they  re- 
main tmmbling  about  for  an  hour 
and  a  half.  The  roasted  beans  are 
then  fed  through  sets  of  rollers 
which  have  sufficient  clearance  not 
to  mash  them,  but  only  to  loosen  the 
thin  shell  and  crack  the  fruit,  the 
shell  then  being  blown  off  in  the 
form  of  chaff,  lea^^ng  the  fatty  por- 
tion free  for  the  next  step— that  of 
grinding.  The  grinder,  or  miU,  is  the 
type  of  "upper  and  nether  millstone" 
similar  to  that  used  in  the  old  time 
flour  mUl.  The  upper  circular  granite 
stone  revolves  on  the  lower,  crush- 
ing the  beans,  which  contain  50  per 
cent  butter  fat,  into  a  hquid  brown 
paste.  Each  miU  has  three  sets  of 
mill  stones,  so  that  when  the  crushed 
product  runs  from  the  first  set,  it  is 
conveyed  to  the  second  through  a 
hole  in  the  center  of  the  upper  stone 
of  the  second.  Here  more  grinding 
takes  place,  after  which  the  choco- 
late flows  to  the  third  set  where  the 
final  smoothness  is  acquired. 

Up  to  this  point,  there  is  nothing 
put  with  the  chocolate.  The  heat 
produced  by  steam  inside  the 
grinders,  and  the  friction,  bring  it 
into  the  same  melted  consistency 
that  a  cake  of  chocolate  has  when 
melted  in  cooking. 

If  bitter  or  unsweetened  chocolate 
is  to  be  made,  it  is  ready  for  the 
molds  as  soon  as  it  flows  from  the 
last  of  the  three  grinders,  nothing 
being  added,  or  taken  away. 

If  ground  chocolate  is  to  be  made, 
the  liquid  is  poured  into  circular 
cloth  filters,  and  placed  in  a  press 
which  develops  a  pressure  of  6,000 


pounds  to  the  square  inch,  thus 
squeezing  out  the  butter  fat,  leaving 
round  flat  cakes  about  three  inches 
thick  and  about  eighteen  inches  in 
chameter.  These  cakes,  together  with 
powdered  sugar,  are  put  into  a  large 
tub-hke  mixer  in  which  run  four 
hea\'y  granite  rollers,  this  time  like 
the  casters  on  a  piece  of  furniture 
instead  of  two  granite  discs  revolv- 
ing face  to  face,  for  the  chocolate  has 
already  been  ground.  However,  the 
cakes  from  which  the  butter  fat  has 
been  squeezed,  have  to  be  crumbled 
again  into  powdered  form  and  mixed 
with  sugar  by  these  rollers  ruiming 
around  in  a  circular  path  on  the 
bottom  of  the  mixer.  During  the 
process,  a  certain  small  amount  of 
liquid,  or  melted  chocolate — just  as 
it  came  from  the  first  process,  or  the 
mill,  is  added.  This  assists  in  mixing 
the  sugar  with  the  cake  which  comes 
from  the  press,  and  completes  the 
process  for  ground  chocolate. 

If  commercial  cocoa  is  to  be  made, 
the  cake  of  pure  cocoa,  as  it  comes 
from  the  press,  is  simply  crumbled 
and  freed  of  all  lumps  by  the  weight 
of  the  granite  rollers,  nothing  being 
added. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  the  product 
is  to  be  sweet  chocolate,  sugar  is 
mixed  with  the  melted  chocolate  as 
it  comes  from  the  first  operation, 
and  to  this  mixture,  a  considerable 
amount  of  the  butter  fat,  squeezed 
out  to  make  the  cakes  with  which  to 
prepare  ground  chocolate,  is  added 
to  give  proper  consistency  after 
introducing  the  sugar. 

And  lastly,  if  the  product  is  to  be 
milk  chocolate,  such  as  is  used  so 
much  by  confectioners,  sugar,  and  a 
small  portion  of  cocoa  butter-fat,  are 
added  to  the  liquid  cocoa,  and  to 
this  mixture  is  added  great  pans  of 
milk  sohds,  obtained  by  drawing  off 
all  the  water  content  from  the  milk 
while  it  is  being  heated  and  stirred 
in  a  vacuum  tank.  This  milk  choco- 
late mixture  of  sugar,  some  butter 
fat,  mUk  solids  and  chocolate  is 
smoothed  and  beaten  for  twenty- 
four  hom's  before  it  is  ready  to  mold. 

The  sweet,  bitter,  and  milk  choco- 
late, being  sold  in  cakes,  are  pre- 
pared in  molds.  These  molds,  with 
their  warm  soft  contents,  are  sent  on 
a  slow  conveyor  through  a  refrigera- 
tion passage,  and  emerge  at  the 
opposite  end  of  the  conveyor  as 
solid  hard  cakes,  ready  to  be  wrap- 
ped and  packed. 

The  ground  chocolate  is  put  up  in 
cans,  and,   of  course,  does  not  need

UBLIC  judgment  in  the 
appraisal  and  equaliza- 
tion of  land  values — 
"Public judgment!"  The 
phrase  was  first  used  in 
this  connection  ina  newspaper  article 
in  San  Mateo  in  1923,  during  the 
time  I  was  conducting  a  revaluation 
of  the  real  property  there. 

It  struck  me  as  a  particularly 
happy  as  well  as  an  accurately  de- 
scriptive term.  It  expresses  the  very 
heart  and  core  of  the  idea  which 
forms  the  pivot  of  the  method  I 
have  employed  to  bring  real  prop- 
erty values  to  the  level  of  a  reason- 
able, 100  per  cent  valuation.  It  is  a 
simpler,  more  forceful  expression  of 
what  we  mean  when  we  say  "con- 
sensus oT  opinion."  And  it  is  this 
"public  judgment"  or  "consensus  of 
opinion"  which,  in  the  final  analysis, 
provides  the  only  true  ba.«is  of 
values,  whether  the  thing  appraised 
is  a  parcel  of  real  estate  or  a  string  of 
glass  beads. 

The  aborigines  who  traded  Man- 
hattan for  an  array  of  glittering 
baubles  struck  a  good  bargain  ac- 
cording to  their  standards,  which 
rated  the  beails,  to  them  a  rarity  and 
a  treasure,  far  above  something  else 
which  existed  in  limitless  abundance, 
to  the  horizon  and  beyond.  And  no 
doubt  the  beads  contributed  more 
to  their  happiness  than  had  owner- 
ship of  that  particular  area  of  land. 

Public  judgment  is  probably  more 
accurate  as  a  guide  to  realty  values 
than  in  the  case  of  any  other  market- 
able thing.  The  various  factors  of 
human  life  bear  directly  upon  realty 
values.  Land  is  valuable  in  accord- 
ance with  its  possibilities  for  human 
use. 

The  policy  of  obtaining  from  the 
property  owners  themselves,  in  free 
discussions  at  open,  public  meetings, 
their  judgment  concerning  the  rela- 
tive, fair  values  to  be  placed  upon  it 
for  equalizing  assessed  values  is  the 
backbone  of  the  modem  analytic 
method  of  realty  valuation.  This  is 
the  method  that  is  now  being  em- 
ployed to  bring  about  an  equaliza- 
tion of  the  San  Francisco  tax  assess- 
ment roll  and  is  the  method  that  has 
been  apphed  with  unqualified  suc- 
cess in  scores  of  American  cities  and 
towns. 

"Value  is  the  measure  of  the  de- 
sire of  man,"  wrote  W.  A.  Somers, 
who  evolved  and  used  this  method  in 
the  city  of  Cleveland  in  1910.  "It  is 
usually  expressed  in  terms  of  price," 
he    continued,    "which    is    but    an

attempt  to  compare  desire  with  that 
which  we  use  as  money. 

"In  other  words,  value  must  come 
from  comparison,  and  any  such  com- 
parison must  be  a  mental  operation 
on  the  part  of  an  individual  or  many 
individuals.  If  such  a  comparison  is 
made  by  a  large  number  of  people, 
resulting  in  a  common  e.xpression  in 
terms  of  price,  the  value  is  usually 
said  to  be  fixed,  for  the  time  being 
at  least,  at  that  price. 

"This  form  of  comparison,  with 
its  attendant  result,  is  what  is 
usually  denominated  'market  value.' 
Market  value  is  the  comparison 
that  all  of  the  people  at  interest  have 
been  able  to  make  l>etween  their 
desires  and  the  thing  desired."  With 
a  uniform  procedure  established  for 
obtaining  the  public  judgment  of 
the  property  owners,  and  a  standard 
unit  of  value  from  which  to  make 
the  neces.sary  mathematical  compu- 
tations a  reasonably  correct  ap- 
praisal of  all  land  values  in  any  city 
can  be  assured. 

The  problem  of  equalizing  assessed 
values  can  be  solved.  It  has  been 
solved  in  more  than  ninety  cities, 
towns  and  counties  throughout  the 
United  Statt-s.  The  solution  has  \w^n 
acceptable  to  the  taxpayers  and  to 
the  pubhc  ofiicials  who  had  the 
courage  to  inaugurate  the  needed 
changes  in  the  system. 

For  the  fault  in  tax  assessing, 
wherever  old  methods  prevail,  lies 
in  the  system,  rarely  in  the  man  or 
men  upon  whom  devolves  the  duty 
of  making  up  the  obnoxious  tax  roll. 
Whenever  officials  have  courageously 
undertaken  the  major  operation  of  a 
wholesale  revaluation  of  real  estate 
and  improvements  the  symptoms 
have  disappeared,  the  patient  has 
recovered,  and  there  has  been  an 
increase  in  revenue  from  taxation, 
even  with  reduced  tax  rates. 

Appraisal  of  real  estate  at  reason- 
able full  values  strikes  at  the  center 
of  the  tax  assessment  equalization 
problem.  With  values  established 
upon  a  true,  relative,  and  provable 
basis,  any  assessment  levied  against 
the  property  throughout  the  taxing 
jurisdiction  will  be  fair  to  all  con- 
cerned. This  is  true  whether  the 
assessment  is  at  full  value  or  at  some 


uniform  percentage  less  than  the 
appraisetl  full  values. 

Cleveland  pioneered  the  way 
with  such  a  wholesale  inventory.  It 
was  largely  through  the  efforts  of  its 
fighting  mayor,  Tom  John.son,  that 
the  city  achieved  this  distinction. 
Frederic  C.  Howe,  writer  and  pub- 
licist, who  was  on  the  board  elected 
in  1910  to  bring  about  the  equaliza- 
tion of  assessments  in  Cleveland, 
said  in  a  pubhc  address  at  Philadel- 
phia some  time  after  the  work  was 
completed : 

"There  came  to  Cleveland,  as  a  re- 
sult of  the  participation  of  the  people 
in  the  establishment  of  the  funda- 
mental street  values,  a  psychological 
sense  of  ease,  of  satisfaction,  of 
square  deahng  toward  their  fellows, 
a  spirit  of  civic  satisfaction  growing 
out  of  the  fact  that  their  money  was 
being  taken  from  them  by  a  square- 
deal  policy  such  as  they  had  never 
known  before." 

Ordinarily  land  values  are  ex- 
pressed in  terms  of  a  front  foot  at  so 
many  dollars.  This  means  little  or 
nothing  because  lots  are  not  of  uni- 
form depth  and  shape. 

Therefore,  a  standard  unit  foot 
has  been  adopted  for  measuring  land 
values.  This  is  one  foot  frontage,  one 
hundred  feet  deep,  located  in  the 
middle  of  the  block,  where  its  only 
values  is  due  to  the  single  street 
accessibility — the  opportunity  of 
reaching  the  life  and  trade  of  the 
communitj'  at  that  point  of  contact. 
Convenient  tables  of  percentage 
values  make  the  computation  of 
other  depths,  greater  or  less  than 
the  100  feet,  simple  and  logical. 

With  this  standard  of  quantity 
adopted,  the  expression  of  opinion 
as  to  land  values  is  facilitated,  for 
comparison  is  made  possible.  It  then 
becomes  a  matter  of  analyzing  the 
factors  that  enter  into  the  creation 
of  land  values. 

These  factors  are  easy  to  segregate 
and  their  importance  is  easily 
weighed.  The  traffic — presence  of 
people  on  foot — passing  a  given  lo- 
cation has  a  definite  effect  on  the 
land  value  at  that  point.  Likewise, 
the  transportation  facUities,  physical 
characteristics  of  the  land,  the  op- 
portunity of  doing  business  or  the 
desirabUity  of  living  in  this  or  that 
location,  all  have  their  influence  on 
values. 

Every  citizen  consciously  or  un- 
consciously makes  this  appraisal 
every  day  as  he  goes  about  his  usual 
affairs. 


8AN  FRANCLSCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  1920 


HE  success  of  many  of 
our  outstanding  business 
leaders  has  been  largely 
due  to  the  force  of  prog- 
ijress  which  has  surround- 
W'e  are  living  in  a  terrific 
constructive  age,  constantly  in  an 
atmosphere  charged  with  a  tense 
nervous  energy  which  has  a  power  of 
driving  men  to  accomplish  greater 
things,  to  compete  in  the  great  game 
of  business,  which,  in  the  last  analy- 
sis, means  achievement.  This  great 
dynamic  force  has  brought  an  un- 
precedented era  of  industry,  which, 
in  turn,  has  virtually  forced  into 
existence  new  cities  and  larger  com- 
munities and  hap  placed  upon  the 
people  the  responsibility  of  co- 
operative protection  both  as  to  life 
and  property. 

We  have  come  to  take  the  me- 
chanical departments  of  government 
as  a  matter  of  course  and  now  look 
upon  protection  from  fire,  rol3bei\\- 
and  similar  contmgencies  as  a  right 
which  is  a  part  of  our  everyday  life. 
We  know  we  have  a  fire  department 
and  take  it  for  granted  that  it  is 
efficient  and  competent.  However, 
the  fire  department  of  today  is  one 
of  the  best  investments  a  community 
can  make,  for  through  its  efficiency 


come  real   returns   in  the  form  of 
dollars  and  cents. 

For  instance,  in  one  medium-sized 
California  city,  where  the  fire  de- 
partment was  reorganized  after  its 


faults  had  been  revealed;  after  the

HERE  is  the  latest  extension  of  the  Glens  Falls  famous  "Moral  Hazard"  chart.  It  tells  the 
same  old  shameful  story.  Through  it,  with  terrible  clearness,  appear  the  sinister  features  of 
"Arson."  With  unfailing  persistence  these  charted  lines  of  Business  Failures  and  Insurance  Loss 
Ratio  continued  in  1925,  as  they  have  since  1910,  to  pile  up  evidence  of  the  part  that  incendiarism 
plays  in  the  annual  tragedy  of  American  Fire  Losses. 


"Incendiarism  40%" 


When  Glens  Falls  issued  its  chart  a  year  ago.  an  esti- 
mate was  made  that  incendiarism  is  responsible  for 
40  per  cent  of  the  annual  destruction  of  lives  and  prop- 
erty in  this  country  by  fire.  This  estimate  precipi- 
tated wide  discussion  and  controversy.  We  received 
hundreds  of  letters  ffom  insurance  company  execu* 
lives,  state  fire  marshals,  insurance  commissioners, 
agents  and  other  authorities.     These  only  served  to 


strengthen  our  conviction  that  the  estimate  of  40  per 
cent  is  close  to  the  mark.  Among  the  many  letters  re- 
ceived was  one  from  a  leading  insurance  executive 
who  wrote: 

"Fire  insurance  must  either  continue  a  beneficent  influence 
in  the  tocial  fabric,  or  it  must  degenerate  into  a  malign 
influence,  as  it  can  readily  become  by  lending  itself  either 
deliberately  or  carelessly  to  the  aiding  and  encouragement 
of  the  vicious  clement  that  preys  upon  society  as  a  whole." 


What  Are  We  Going  To  Do  About  It? 


For  years  Glens  Falls  has  been  striving  through  litera- 
ture, fire  prevention  contests,  moving  picture  films  and 
in  other  ways,  to  impress  upon  insurers  and  insureds 
alike  the  need  for  suppressing  this  evil.  In  these 
efforts  it  has  had  splendid  co-operation  from  its  agents. 
But  it  realizes  that  the  fight  on  incendiarism  must 


every  interest  involved.  The  time  for  united  action 
has  come.  Something  must  be  done.  Glens  Falls  is 
still  seeking  a  way  and  it  welcomes  suggestions. 
Furthermore,  it  promises  full  co-operation  in  any 
plan  that  will  aid  ia  crushing  this  menace  which 
continuously  threatens  American  Insurance  and  the 


have  behind  it  the  full  and  earnest  co-operation  of  American  Public.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  1926 


[  continupd  from  page  17] 

the  selection  of  a  proper  chief  has 
resulted  in  actual  cash  savings  to  the 
citizens,  in  the  form  of  fire  insurance 
premiums  alone,  of  more  than  S400,- 
000  a  year.  An  investigation  in  this 
nearby  community  has  shown  where 
merchants  and  other  property  own- 
ers are  saving  more  than  their  city 
and  county  taxes  in  their  reduced 
insurance  rates  alone!  Not  to  men- 
tion the  increased  efficiency  which 
has  resulted  in  a  tremendous  reduc- 
tion in  credit  losses  and  in  the  loss  of 
life  from  fires. 

In  another  large  city  the  saving  as 
the  result  of  similar  recognition  of 
the  fire  department  has  exceeded 
SI, 000,000  a  year,  and  the  work  has 
only  started. 

One  of  the  most  pathetic  state- 
ments I  ever  heard  a  successful  busi- 
ness man  say  of  his  fire  department's 
chief  was,  "Well,  he  is  only  a  fire- 
man." Only  a  fireman — liut  what 
would  we  do  without  him? 

The  fireman  of  the  present  day  is 
better  educated,  better  informed 
than  many  who  make  many  times 
his  income  in  some  of  the  engineer- 
ing professions.  The  fireman  of  to- 
day has  an  inherent  loyalty  to  his 
community  which  should  hold  for 
him  the  permanent  respect  and 
loyalty  of  his  fellow  citizens.  He  is 
fighting  the  war  that  never  ends — 
fire.  And  Fire  has  no  international 
rules  of  war  to  follow.  Gases,  and 
every  other  element  and  material 
barred  by  all  self-respecting  nations 
in  war,  are  faced  by  the  fireman  in 
the  regular  course  of  his  duty. 

It  was  nearly  150  years  ago  in  this 
country  that  property  owTiers  in  the 
colonies  got  together  and  formed 
local  fire  companies.  Fire  brigades, 
clubs  and  associations  they  were 
called.  They  were  social  as  well  as 
for  fire  fighting.  Great  rivalry  exist- 
ed lietween  those  various  organiza- 
tions both  as  to  garb  and  ability. 
Once  a  year,  or  more  often,  they 
held  a  general  "field  day"  and  the 
competition  was  as  keen  as  any  foot- 
ball game  of  today.  Riots  often  were 
staged  during  a  fire — the  fire  being 
neglected  until  the  members  of  the 
brigades  settled  the  question  with 
their  fists  as  to  who  would  have  the 
honor  of  putting  it  out. 

Out  of  this  picturesque  beginning 
have  come  two  great  factors  in  Amer- 
ican life — the  modern  stock  fire  in- 
surance company  and  the  great 
municipal  fire  departments  of  today. 

The  old-time  hard-hitting,  hard- 
cussing  and  hard-drinking  fire  chief 
and  fire  fighter  have  passed  into 
history.  They  fought  fire  as  the  old 
bare-fisted  pugilists  fought  each 
other.  They  wanted  water  and  lots 
of  it.  These  courageous,  rough 
characters  were  the  founders  of  the 


institutions  without  which  no  com- 
munity can  well  function  or  progress. 
They  builded  a  solid  foundation  and 
from  them  has  persisted  a  spirit  of 
sportsmanship,  rivalry  and  tradition 
which  continues  to  dominate  those 
who  are  protecting  life  and  property. 

Now  we  find  a  trained  executive 
at  the  head  of  the  fire  fighters  of  the 
community.  And  we  also  find,  not 
only  fire  fighters,  but  fire  preven- 
tioni-sts,  from  the  •  chief  engineer 
down  to  the  newest  rookie. 

As  civilization  has  progressed 
mechanically  and  industrially,  nu- 
merous new  conditions  have  been 
created.  Each  new  machine,  each 
new  industry,  factory  and  building 


adds  to  the  responsibility  of  the 
local  fire  department.  Each  new  fire 
is  a  new  and  separate  problem.  No 
two  fires  can  be  attacked  identically 
alike.  Out  of  the  increasing  com- 
plexity of  modern  life  has  emerged  a 
new  figure — the  fire  chief  of  today. 

To  many  people  the  fire  chief  is 
just  a  fire  chief.  He  must  be  a  good 
chief  by  popular  demand,  but  many 
ramifications  that  are  incorporated 
in  the  position  of  chief  engineer  are 
little  known  by  the  general  pubUc. 

Today  the  fire  chief  (and  even 
the  rank  and  file  of  the  department) 
must  know  efficiently  more  different 
professions  and  matters  than   any

and  the  vision  and  courage  shown 
by  their  citizens  in  making  such 
water  supply  permanently  available, 
than  by  any  other  agency. 

California  has  much  more  land  to 
which  water  could  be  economically 
applied  than  the  total  water  supply 
possibly  will  serve. 

This  proves  clearly  the  tremen- 
dous need  of  a  wise  and  unprejudiced 
study  of,  and  sjniipathy  with,  the 
"water  question"  in  California. 

President  Clarke  of  Nevada  State 
University  said  recently  in  a  public 
address,  that  if  all  the  available 
water  in  Nevada  was  applied  to 
irrigating  her  land,  only  3,000,000 
out  of  her  total  area  of  71,000,000 
acres  could  be  irrigated,  or  4.2  per 
cent  of  her  total  area.  Nevada  now 
has  only  seven-tenths  person  per 
square  mile. 

Several  old  settlements  in  San 
Diego  County,  which  were  at- 
tempted fifty  years  ago,  advanced 
but  little,  in  population,  land  values 
or  production,  until  within  the  past 
two  years  when  irrigation  water  was 
made  available  to  them. 

About  twenty-five  years  ago, 
comprehensive  irrigation  commenced 
in  the  San  Joaquin  Valley.  The  real 
growth  of  all  our  fine  vaUey  cities 
dates  almost  to  a  day  from  the  time 
when  a  reliable  gravity  or  pumped 
water  supply  was  turned  over  the 
dry  grain  fields. 

If  anyone  doubts  this  statement, 
let  him  today  visit  the  unirrigated 
sections  of  the  San  Joaquin  or 
Sacramento  Valley.  Such  a  visit  will 
disclose  the  fact  that  fewer  people 
and  less  tonnage  are  found  in  those 
sections  than  obtained  a  half  cen- 
turj'  ago.  In  fact,  the  geographies  of 
thirty  years  ago  showed  the  San 
Joaquin  desert  where  San  Joa- 
quin Valley  now  appears. 

If  California  merchants,  bankers, 
distributors  of  power,  light,  tele- 
phone service  and  railway  facilities, 
had  to  depend  on  the  dry-farmed 
areas  of  this  state  for  a  market,  they 
would  not  need  to  make  plans  for 
e.xpansion,  but  rather  retrenchment. 

In  1910,  39,352  farms  or  2,664,104 
acres,  were  under  irrigation  in  Cali- 
fornia. At  the  present  time,  nearly 
75,000  farms,  or  6,000,000  acres,  are 
irrigated. 

The  total  amount  invested  in 
irrigation  works  in  California  is 
about  $200,000,000  which  is  much 
less  than  the  value  of  farm  crops 
grown  by  irrigation  in  this  state 
annually.  This  6,000,000  acres  of 
land,  which,  before  irrigation,  prob- 
ably did  not  have  a  value  to  exceed 
§60,000,000  now  has  a  value  of 
probablv  twenty  times  as  much,  or 
§1,250,000,000.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  1926 


The  bureau  of  Fire  Prevention 


N    June    21,    1920,    the 

rN  I^oard  of  Supervisors 
]  i)assed  an  ordinance  pro- 
J  \iding  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  Bureau  of  Fire 
Pnviutidu  and  PubKc  Safety  to  be 
composed  of  the  Chief  Engineer  of 
the  Fire  Department,  Chief  Build- 
ing Inspector  of  the  Board  of  Pubhc 
Works,  Chief  of  the  Department  of 
Electricity,  Chief  of  Police,  Health 
Officer  and  Fire  Marshal.  The  Chief 
Engineer  to  act  as  Chief  of  the  Bu- 
reau. In  order  to  facihtate  the  in- 
vestigation and  inspection  work  of 
the  Bureau  the  various  departments 
of  the  city  and  county  shaU  co- 
operate with  the  Bureau,  and  for 
such  purpose  the  Chief  Engineer, 
Chief  Building  Inspector,  Chief  of 
the  Department  of  Electricity,  Chief 
of  Police,  Health  and  Officer  and 
Fire  Marshal  are  authorized  and 
directed  to  furnish  to  the  Bureau 
such  records,  papers  and  other  in- 
formation in  their  possession  as  may 
be  required,  and  to  detail  to  the 
Bureau  such  officers  and  employees 
as  might  be  necessary. 

At  the  time  this  ordinance  was 
.passed  the  Chief  Engineer  placed  a 
battalion  chief  in  charge  and  a 
captain  to  pass  upon  plans  and 
specifications  at  the  Board  of  Works, 
relative  to  the  installations  of  fire 
escapes,  standpipes,  pipe  casings, 
fire  pumps,  sprinkler  systems,  etc. 

In  order  that  inspections  of  the 
mercantile  and  high-valued  cUstricts 
might  be  made,  the  captains  and 
Ueutenants  of  the  companies  located 
in  these  districts  were  detailed  to 
the  Bureau  every  day  except  Sun- 
days, reporting  at  8  a.  m.,  and  were 
assigned  to  block  inspection,  return- 
ing to  the  Bureau  at  4  p.  m.  for  the 
purpose  of  making  out  their  reports 
and  calling  attention  to  any  particu- 
larly hazardous  conditions  that  were 
noted  by  them  during  their  tour  of 
inspection.  Two  of  the  captains  who 
were  very  apt  in  this  work  were 
assigned  for  reinspection  of  such 
places  as  had  been  reported,  and  in 
that  way  many  hazardous  conditions 
were  corrected,  and  inside  of  a  few 
months  all  of  the  buildings  located 
in  the  district  previously  referred  to 
had  been  inspected,  as  weD  as  some 
of  the  schools,  hospitals,  etc. 

Conditions  arose  about  that  time 
that  made  it  necessary  to  keep  these 
officers  in  their  respective  com- 
panies, and  such  inspection  work 
and  investigation  of  complaints  as 
could  be  attended  to  was  referred 
to  the  battalion  chiefs.  As  it  was  im-

and  Public  Safely 

possible  to  properly  handle  the 
ever  increasing  amount  of  work 
along  the  lines  mentioned,  it  was 
finally  arranged  whereby  the  first 
ten  men  on  the  eligible  list  for 
heutenant  in  the  fire  department 
would  be  assigned  to  this  work,  and 


in  order  to  have  necessary  accommo- 
dations for  them  to  make  out  reports 
and  receive  the  proper  instructions, 
they  reported  daily  (Sundays  ex- 
cepted) at  the  quarters  of  Engine 
Company  No.  17  and  were  assigned 
to  block  inspection  by  the  battalion 
chief  in  charge.  This  manner  of 
inspecting  was  carried  on  until  such 
time  as  the  eligible  list  for  lieuten- 
ants was  finished.

Standardization 

in  Industry 


IILLIOXS  of  dollars  have 

liccn  saved  to  industry 

I  I'V  standardization  with 

the  resultant  reduction 

J  '  'f  waste. 

So  saiii  Kay  M.  Hudson,  chief  of 
the  Division  of  Simplified  Practice, 
United  States  Department  of  Com- 
merce, in  addressing  members  of  the 
industrial  committees  of  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
Oakland  Chamber  of  Commerce  and 
the  California  Development  Asso- 
ciation. 

The  speaker  cited  the  automotive 
industry  as  an  example  wherein 
standardization  has  reduced  pro- 
duction costs,  efTecting  economies 
that  have  been  passed  on  to  the 
consumer. 

Generally  speaking,  he  said,  it  was 
fair  to  assume  that  standardization 
would  result  either  in  better  quality 
or  lower  costs  in  practically  every 
industrial  activity. 

He  cited  rapid  progress  that  is 
being  made,  mentioning  accomplish- 
ments of  the  Metal  Lath  Manufac- 
turers Association,  the  American 
Institute  of  Steel  Construction, 
manufactuiers  of  builders'  hard- 
ware, industrial  lamps,  face  brick 
and  the  efforts  toward  simplified 
practice  in  the  soft-wood  lumber 
industry. 

The  speaker  visualized  the  tre- 
mendous possibilities  by  the  adop- 
tion of  a  standard  buUding  code 
nation-wide  in  its  application.  He 
enumerated  building  material  lines 
that  could  be  standardized  with 
elimination  of  waste  resulting  in 
improved  quality  or  lower  prices. 

H^  stated  that  at  one  time  there 
were  428  different  types  and  sizes  of 
nails  and  tacks.  These  have  been 
reduced  to  125.  Thirty  years  ago 
there  were  180  different  styles  of 
industrial  lamps.  Standardization 
has  reduced  this  number  to  45, 
causing  enormous  savings.  Further 
simplification  untQ  onlj'  five  sizes 
in  lamps  will  be  manufactured  was 
mentioned  as  a  possibility. 

The  need  of  standardization  in 
traffic  control  and  city  planning  was 
emphasized,  the  government  expert 
mentioning  the  fact  that  cities  to- 
day are  spending  many  millions  of 
dollars  sha\Tng  off  buildings  or  mak- 
ing other  corrections  in  order  to 
handle  traffic  congestion. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  1926 


The  Future  of  cSunset-^arkside 

By  Dr.  J.  M.  TONER,  President  of  the  Sumet-Parkside  District,  Incorporated 


UNSET-PARKSIDE 
DISTRICT,  INC.,  had 
its  inception  in  the  de- 
sire of  propertyownersto 
iilitainlong-needed  im- 
pinvriiiints  which  would  make  pos- 
sible the  development  of  their  prop- 
erty to  its  ultimate  value. 

The  slogan  of  the  district  admir- 
ably defines  the  intentions  and  pur- 
poses of  the  district.  It  is: 

"A  Xon-Profit  Organization  Dedi- 
cated to  Keeping  San  Franciscans  in 
San  Francisco." 

The  Sunset-Parkside  District  con- 
sists of  the  western  half  of  San 
Francisco  from  Golden  Gate  Park 
to  Sloat  Boulevard  and  from  Twin 
Peaks  to  the  ocean.  In  that  area 
there  is  contained  more  than  550 
blocks. 

It  seems  amazing  that  during  the 
past  several  years  while  a  great  tide 
of  overflow  population  was  moving 
out  of  the  city  to  find  space  upon 
which  to  build  homes,  more  than 
300  blocks  of  this  great  area  in  the 
heart  of  San  Francisco  remained  un- 
developed. 

In  these  300  blocks  there  are  no 
streets,  no  sewers,  no  water  mains. 
In  other  words,  untU  development 
is  realized  homes  cannot  be  built. 

And  this  in  spite  of  the  fact  that 
the  district  offers  tremendous  at- 
tra<?tions  to  home  builders. 

There  is  not  one  improved  block 
in  the  Sunset-Parkside  District 
which  is  not  at  least  60  per  cent 
built  up.  The  moment  that  streets, 
water  and  sewers  are  in,  homes 
spring  up  like  mushrooms. 

It  is  therefore  self-evident  that 
the  problem  is  not  that  of  inducing 
people  to  go  into  the  Sunset-Park- 
side District,  but  of  removing  the 
natural  barriers  that  prevent  them 
from  doing  so. 

If  there  is  a  condition  existing  in 
San  Francisco  that  forces  thousands 
of  persons  to  leave  the  city  limits  to 
estabhsh  their  homes  while  earning 
their  Uvelihood  in  San  Francisco, 
then  assuredly  this  condition  should 
be  eliminated  at  once.  Right  at  the 
door  of  these  thousands  hes  a  great 
district  ideal  for  the  estabhshment 
of  homes  to  fit  any  income. 

There  are  now  60,000  people  in 
the  Suniset-Parkside  District.  By 
1930,  if  the  natural  barriers  are  re- 
moved, there  should  be  living  in 
that  area  a  population  of  250,000. 

In  order  to  break  down  these 
natural  impediments  to  develop- 
ment, the  Sunset-Parkside  District, 


Inc.,  has  adopted  the  following  pro- 
gram: 

1.  Speedy  completion  of  the  Sun- 
set Tunnel  and  its  car  fine. 

2.  Construction  of ''Sunset  Boule- 
vard," a  diagonal  boulevard  120 
feet  wide,  from  Nineteenth  Avenue 
and  Lincoln  Way  to  Fleishhacker 
Pool. 

3.  A  parked  fire  barrier  from 
Golden  Gate  Park  to  Sloat  Boule- 
vard. > 


4.  John  McLaren's  Sunset  Parks 
program. 

5.  Municipal  car  line  extensions 
throughout  the  Sunset-Parkside 
District. 

6.  Augmented  sewer  and  water 
system. 

It  has  been  estimated  by  L.  V. 
Riddle,  a  member  of  the  advisory 
board  of  our  organization,  that  the 
value  of  the  Sunset-Parkside  Dis- 
trict is  at  present  §60,000,000. 
Within  three  years,  when  full  de- 
velopment should  have  been  reached, 
this  same  property,  according  to 
Mr.  Riddle's  calculations,  will  be 
worth  .S150,000,000.

In  1883  the  first  reapportionment

ing reapportionment  measures  were 
as  follows:  in  1891,  in  1901  and  in 
1912.  When  it  came  time  to  make 
the  fifth  reapportionment,  following 
the  Federal  census  of  1920,  the  suc- 
cessive legislatures  of  1921,  1923, 
and  192.5  were  unable  to  agree  on 
anj-  of  the  various  reapportionment 
bills  Ijcfore  them,  and  each  adjourn- 
ed without  making  any  legislative 
reapportionment.  It  may  be  signifi- 
f-aiit  that  the  Congress  of  the  United 
States  found  itself  in  a  like  dilemma 
and  that  it,  too,  has  failed  to  make 
any  reapportionment  following  the 
Federal  census  of  1920. 

The  motives  that  may  have  actu- 
ated the  California  legislature  in  the 
last  three  sessions  and  prevented  the 
passage  of  any  reapportionment 
measure  were  doubtless  of  many 
varieties,  but  outstanding  among 
them  was  the  recognition  of  the 
growing  strength  of  metropolitan 
representation  in  both  houses  of  the 
legislature  and  the  consequent  ap- 
proaching disfranchisement  of  all 
the  state  Ij'ing  outside  of  these  two 
centers  of  population  at  Los  Angeles 
and  about  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco. 
As  far  back  as  1909  the  legislature 
has  been  concerned  with  the  impor- 
tance of  amending  the  Constitution 
in  some  way  to  prevent  the  domina- 
tion of  the  legislative  halls  by  the 
representatives  from  the  industrial 
centers  of  the  state.  The  matter  has 
been  discussed  and  constitutional 
amendments  have  been  proposed  in 
succeeding  legislatures  without  the 
possibility  of  agreement,  the  two- 
thirds  vote  requirement  on  constitu- 
tional amendments  proving  an  effec- 
tive stumbling  block. 

Proposition  No.  20  proposes  to 
create  a  state  commission  of  three  to 
make  legislative  reapportionment 
in  both  houses  on  the  basis  of  popu- 
lation, when  the  legislature  fails  to 
act  in  the  matter.  This  plan  is  sup- 
ported by  certain  advocates  in  Los 
Angeles  who  are  primarily  eager  to 
get  increased  legislative  representa- 
tion for  Los  Angeles  in  both  As- 
sembly and  Senate  and  whose  urge 
in  that  direction  is  so  strong  that 
they  cannot  stop  to  weigh  the  dis- 
aster to  the  state  as  a  whole  that 
wUI  come  from  the  practical  dis- 
franchisement of  ninety-seven  per 
cent  of  the  area  of  the  state.    In

In  December,  1923,  a  new  list  for 
lieutenants  was  established,  and  as 
the  same  number  of  men  could  not 
be  spared  from  the  various  com- 
panies in  the  department,  it  was 
arranged  with  Chief  of  Police 
O'Brien  and  Doctor  Hassler  of  the 
Board  of  Health  that  some  men 
from  their  departments  be  detailed 
to  the  Bureau.  On  January  14,  1924, 
three  police  officers,  three  inspectors 
from  the  Board  of  Health  and  the 
first  four  men  from  the  eligible  hst  of 
lieutenants  in  the  Fire  Department, 
were  assigned  to  the  Bureau  for  in-

it  became  necessary  for  one  of  the 
pohce  officers  and  one  of  the  health 
inspectors  to  return  to  their  respec-

eight  inspectors.  Since  then  the  two

C^^ODERN  BIG  BUSINESS,  with  its  amazing 
wealth  and  expansion,  was  able  to  grow  hy  virtue 
of  the  bond  issue.  Without  the  aid  of  expansion 
bonds,  business  would  have  remained  on  the 
plane  of  the  commercial  enterprises  of  two  cent- 
uries ago. 

((Cities,  like  corporations,  have  found  that  bonds 
are  steps  of  advancement. 

C[Today  the  best  investment  in  civic  expansion 
which  confronts  San  Francisco  is  the  proposed 
bond  issue  to  develop  and  make  wealthy  the 
western  half  of  the  city  .^  Sunset- Parkside. 
((Apart  from  the  idealistic  value

signals,  for  example,  cannot  be  done 
without  full  data  as  to  relative 
traffic  requirements.  Mi.stakes  re- 
sulting from  casual  oljservation  or 
favoritism  may  mean  not  only  the 
loss  of  the  investment,  but  as  well  a 
great  public  inconvience. 

The  business  men  who  compose 
the  Survej-  Committee  determined 
that  their  money  would  be  well  in- 
vested and  that  the  delay  would 
warrant  the  collection  of  full  and  ac- 
curate facts,  before  remedial  pro- 
posals were  made.  To  this  end  an 
engineering  staff  has  lieen  organized 
anil  has  been  at  work  for  a  period  of 
appro.ximately  three  months.  The 
field  work  of  the  survey  is  under  the 
direct  supervision  of  Theodore  M. 
Matson,  resident  engineer,  and  is  be- 
ing carried  out  foUovring  the  prece- 
dents of  the  Los  Angeles  and  Chicago 
surveys  with  the  same  care  that 
would  be  given  to  the  comprehensive 
study  of  a  street  railway  system  or 
other  public  utility.  The  co-oper- 
ation of  public  officials  and  liusiness 
interests  has  been  most  gratifying, 
and  makes  it  possible  to  prcilict  that 
the  work  will  be  completed  before 
the  time  originally  anticipated. 

One  of  the  most  important  busi- 
ness elements  in  the  work  of  the  Sur- 
vey Committee  is  that  it  does  not 
anticipate  making  recommendations 
for  new  traffic  arteries  nor  for  other 
phjsical  changes  invohnng  the  ex- 
penditures of  large  sums  of  money. 
It  is  proceeding  on  the  assumption 
that  the  existing  .streets  are'not  used 
to  their  full  capacity,  and  that  full 
use  should  be  obtained  from  present 
facilities  before  more  are  added.  The 
end  of  the  survey,  therefore,  is  the 
design  of  a  unified  system  of  street 
traffic  control  for  San  Francisco 
which  will  increase  both  the  safety 
and  convenience  of  street  use.  It  is 
not  attempting  to  work  as  an  extra- 
governmental  body,  but  rather  as  an 
auxiliarj'  to  the  officials  of  the  City 
and  County  of  San  Francisco  who 
called  it  into  existence. 

The  business  men  of  San  Francisco 
have  proved  their  ability  and  energy 
to  solve  every  difficulty  that  has 
stood  in  the  way  of  the  full  develop- 
ment of  the  city.  It  is  not  to  be 
doubted  that  their  determination  to 
solve  the  pressing  business  problem 
of  street  traflSc  congestion  and  acci- 
dents will  meet  with  similar  success.

tions  in  America.  Here  useful  infor- 
mation for  the  protection  of  the  peo- 
ple of  the  community  is  available, 
and  one  of  the  most  effective  courses 
is  that  of  loyalty  to  service  and  the 
people.   You  seldom  find  a  fire  chie 


all  phases  of  civil  engineering,  the 
training  of  men,  first  aid  and  rescue 
work  in  all  of  its  various  phases, 
salvage  work,  arson  investigations 
and  numerous  other  contributing 
elements  peculiar  to  fire  fighting.  In 
addition  he  must  have  an  unusually 
keen  appreciation  of  combustibles 
and  an  instinct  which  reveals  to  him 
hazards  which  are  unobserved  by 
those  uninitiated.  He  must  be  a 
daredevil,  ready  to  leap  from  the 
tallest  buildings  into  nets;  he  must 
almost  be  an  acrobat.  He  must 
know  how  to  handle  a  wounded 
person ;  how  to  rescue  those  trapped 
in  buildings  because  they  do  not 
know  how  to  rescue  themselves. 

Firemen  are  writing  books  on  hy- 
draulics, on  general  engineering  sul:>- 
jects  and  other  technical  problems. 
Firemen  are  inventing  new  mechani- 
cal and  rescue  devices  which  are  be- 
ing rapidly  adopted  by  various  de- 
partments. 

On  the  Pacific  Coast  there  is  a 
college  for  firemen,  conducted  by  a 
fire  chief  and  his  assistants.  Every 
member  of  the  department  is  com- 
pelled to  take  the  complete  course. 
The  curriculum  of  this  college  rivals 
the  greatest  of  educational  institu- 


who  is  selfish — he  has  gone  thiough 
those  trials,  tempered  by  close  con- 
tact with  real  fire,  which  bring  a 
full  appreciation  of  the  rights  of 
others. 


Fire  chiefs  and  their  men,  you  will 
find,  are  on  the  whole  sentimental, 
and  yet  sentiment  is  the  last  thing 
that  hinders  their  actions.  I  have 
heard  firemen  scream  in  terror  while 
calloused  laymen  looked  on  as  these 
selfsame  firemen  have  dashed  into 
gas  and  liquid  fire  to  rescue  a  child. 
I  have  seen  these  selfsame  firemen 
weep  on  bringing  the  victim  to 
safety.  I  have  seen  them  snatch  a 
babe  from  fire  and  hug  and  kiss  it 
and  cuddle  it. 

The  fire  chief  of  today  is  one  of  the 
greatest  assets  the  people  of  any 
community  has.  He  can,  and  is  will- 
ing to,  extend  himself  to  any  length 
to  see  each  individual  in  his  home 
city  prosper  and  live  in  happiness. 

Today  the  fire  chief  is  beginning 
to  get  this  recognition — the  recogni- 
tion he  deserves  from  all  the  people. 
He  is  in  most  cases  underpaid  for 
his  wide  knowledge;  his  courageous 
application  of  that  knowledge  en- 
tities him  to  equal  recognition  with 
high-paid  engineers.  He  stands  on 
the  threshold  of  a  new  era.  After 
five  years  of  study  of  the  duties  and 
the  actions  of  fire  departments  rec- 
ognition has  been  given  him  by  the 
motion-picture  industry,  as  evi- 
denced in  the  new  super-production 
"The  Fire  Brigade,"  said  to  surpass 
any  other  great  spectacular  photo- 
play, which  has  been  built  under  the 
direction  of  the  leading  fire  engineers 
of  the  world  by  Metro-Goldwyn- 
Mayer  Studios  at  a  cost  exceeding 
.1600,000  to  date.

Prophetic  Vision 

in  the  industrial  world,  foresees  and  provides  for  future  expan- 
sion in  advance  of  the  peak  of  high  values.  There  is  no  better 
investment,  and  no  safer  speculation,  than  in  San  Francisco  in- 
dustrial properties.  Conveniently  located  and  readily  accessible 
manufacturing  sites,  particularly  spur  track  locations,  are  not 
only  increasing  rapidly  in  \-alue  but  are  also  becoming  more 
and  more  difficult  to  obtain.  Zoning  restrictions  intensify  this 
situation. 

Industrial  property  within  the  City  limits  of  San  Francisco 
cannot  possibly  decrease  in  \-alue.  On  the  contrary,  the  sur- 
prisingly small  number  of  available  sites  of  appreciable  size, 
especially  sites  on  firm  foundation  and  with  spur  track  fecili- 
ties,  makes  an  investment  in  this  class  of  property  remarkably 
safe  and  highly  desirable  for  the  manufacturer.

legislative  represontation  that  will 
disfranchise  no  sfction  of  the  state. 
This  measure,  hke  Number  20,  pro- 
vides for  representation  in  the  As- 
sembly on  the  basis  of  population, 
which  will  give  the  metropolitan 
centers  control  of  that  house;  it  will 
give  to  Alameda,  San  Francisco  and 
Los  Angeles  counties  the  same  rep- 
resentation in  the  Assembly  that 
they  would  be  entitled  to  under 
Proposition  No.  20;  it  provides, 
however,  for  territorial  representa- 
tion in  the  Senate  by  limiting  the 
counties  so  that  no  county  can  have 
more  than  one  senator  and  a  few  of 
the  contiguous  counties  of  small  pop- 
ulation will  be  assembled  in  groups 
of  twos  or  threes  with  only  one  sena- 
tor for  each  such  group.  This  will 
give  the  control  in  the  Senate  to  that 
part  of  the  state  King  outside  the 
metropoUtan  centers.  Because  this 
plan  provides  for  popular  represen- 
tation in  the  lower  house,  and  county 
or  territorial  representation  in  the 
upper  house,  it  has  been  called  the 
Federal  plan,  adopting  as  it  does  a 
scheme  of  representation  like  that  in 
the  Federal  Congress,  where  the  lower 
hou.se  proportionately  represents  the 
people  of  the  United  States  and  the 
upper  represents  the  states,  the 
small  states  of  Nevada  and  Rhode 
Island,  for  example,  having  the  same 
number  of  senators  as  the  large  and 
populous  states  of  New  York  and 
Pennsylvania. 

The  advantages  of  Measure  Num- 
ber 28,  the  Federal  plan,  are  that, 
while  it  avoids  disfranchising  any 
section  of  the  state,  it  prevents  the 
domination  of  the  legislature  by  the 
metropolitan  centers,  introduces  a 
balancing  of  power  between  those 
centers  and  the  rest  of  the  state,  and 
thus  provides  for  a  real  representa- 
tion of  all  interests  and  all  sections 
of  the  state.  The  keystone  of  the 
arch  in  this  plan  is  this  balancing  of 
power  between  the  industrial  and 
the  rural  interests  of  the  state.  As 
Elihu  Root  obsers'ed,  when  the 
question  of  legislative  apportion- 
ment was  an  issue  in  the  State  of 
New  York,  population  is  not  the  only 
basis  on  which  such  representation 
should  rest ;  the  object  to  be  attained 
is  true  representation;  there  should 
be  combined  with  the  basis  of  popu- 
lation the  basis  of  territorj'  and  the 
question  of  separate  interests. 

The  Federal  plan  furthermore  em- 
phasizes the  actual  purpose  and  the 
real  significance  of  the  presence  of 
two  houses  in  the  legislature,  each 
acting  as  a  check  on  the  other.  No 
entirely  selfish  purpose  of  the  metro- 
poUtan centers  of  the  state  can  find 
its  accomphshment  in  legislation 
against  the  check  of  a  Senate  con-

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  IH,  KUii 


On  scheduled  time 

the  steel  frame  of  the  Russ  Building  is  rising  from 
its  massive  foundation  on  Montgomery  Street. 

As  the  form  of  this  greatest  office  building  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  is  revealed  in  steel  beams  and  girders, 
the  advantages  of  "mass  produftion"  of  office  space 
become  more  evident. 

The  great  area  of  the  building  permits  economies  in  the 
handling  of  materials,  with  consequent  savings  in  both 
time  and  cost.  Soon  the  garage  area  on  the  lower  floors  will  be  used  for 
receiving  materials — the  big  trucks  driving  into  the  building  both  from 
Pine  and  Bush  streets,  just  as  tenants  may  drive  into  this  office  building 
in  their  motor  cars,  when  it  is  completed  one  year  from  the  first  of 
next  month. 

Mass  produftion  also  means  savings  in  operation  cost,  by  the  unified 
service  for  eight  acres  of  office  floor  space.  These  savings  have  been 
given  due  consideration  in  establishing  the  Russ  Building  rental  rates. 
You  may  be  surprised  to  learn  how  reasonable  these  rates  are,  in  view 
of  the  many  advantages  of  equipment  and  service  not  elsewhere  obtainable. 

By  the  charafter  of  its  tenants,  as  well  as  by  its  dominant  location  and 
size,  the  Russ  Building  is  destined  to  be  the  Center  of  Western  Progress. 

A  considerable  portion  of  the  building  has  already  been  leased — one 
year  before  completion.  If  you  desire  an  office  in  the  Russ  Building,  it 
will  be  to  your  advantage  to  make  your  application  now,  while  partition 
arrangements  can  be  made  more  easily  to  suit  your  individual  require- 
ments.

sary  authority  to  enforce  safety 
regulations. 

The  ordinance  under  which  a 
bureau  of  this  kind  should  operate, 
should  be  very  broad  in  its  scope 
pertaining  to  all  matters  of  fire  pre- 
vention, fire  protection,  and  general 
public  safety,  and  should  give  such 
powers  as  would  enable  the  Bureau 
to  help  control  the  many  dangerous 
conditions  that  are  directly  and  in- 
directly responsible  for  the  enormous 
los-ses  of  life  and  property  by  fire. 

In  order  to  carrj'  on  this  work,  at 
least  twelve  men  (preferably  lieuten- 
ants) should  be  permanently  de- 
tailed from  the  uniform  force  of  the 
fire  department.  All  such  men  should 
have  had  at  least  five  years'  expe- 
rience in  the  fire  department,  and 
where  it  is  possible  they  should  be 
men  who  have  had  experience  in 
various  occupations.  These  men, 
before  going  out  on  this  work  should 
be  thoroughly  schooled  by  compe- 
tiiit  officers  of  the  fire  department 
in  all  matters  pertaining  to  fire  pre- 
vention, fire  protection,  fire  and 
building  ordinances,  chemistrj' 
(wherein  it  deals  with  hazardous 
chemicals,  etc.),  simplified  hydraul- 
ics and  such  other  matters  as  would 
qualify  them  for  inspectors,  classes 
to  be  held  from  time  to  time  whereby 
various  matters  pertaining  to  their 
work  can  be  taken  up. 

It  is  also  necessary  that  a  photog- 
grapher  be  detailed  to  the  Bureau  as 
there  are  manj'  conditions  that 
.should  be  photographed  and  become 
part  of  the  records  of  the  Bureau. 

To  comply  with  the  state  law 
which  requires  that  fire  prevention 
and  fire  protection  be  taught  in  the 
schools,  and  in  order  that  all  such 
matters  be  kept  before  the  pubUc, 
inspectors  who  are  particularly 
adapted  for  such  work  should  visit 
all  schools,  clubs  and  such  organiza- 
tions for  the  purpose  of  deUvering 
lectures  on  these  subjects. 

In  order  that  all  details  and  all 
records  of  the  Bureau  should  be 
properly  and  systematically  com- 
piled, and  all  correspondence,  in- 
quiries, etc.,  be  given  prompt  at- 
tention, an  adequate  office  force 
must  be  maintained  at  all  times. 

It  is  very  essential  that  properly 
drawn  plans  of  large  buildings,  fac- 
tories, hospitals,  schools,  manufac- 
turing plants  and  various  other 
types  of  buildings  be  on  file  in  the 
Bureau  at  all  times,  and  in  order 
that  the  same  may  be  had,  a  drafts- 
man should  be  detailed. 

When  it  is  all  summed  up  the  cost 
of  maintaining  a  properly  organized 
and  properly  equipped  Fire  Preven- 
tion Bureau  is  nil  in  comparison  to 
the  saving  and  protection  it  affords 
the  community  as  a  whole.

W\\dit  Irrigation  Has  ^one  for  the  Wtst 


[  continued  from  page  20  1 

It  is  very  e\'ident  therefore  that 
money  invested  in  sound  irrigation 
development  is  a  real  investment  for 
pubUc  benefit,  and  few  enterprises, 
public  or  private,  can  show  such  a 
consistent  measure  of  permanent 
benefit. 

Bonds  issued  by  counties,  cities, 
school  districts,  highway  districts 
and  private  corporations,  situated 
in  arid  and  semi-arid  areas,  are  no 
more  permanent  nor  well  secured 
than  the  irrigation  district  bonds  or 
irrigation  systems  which  serve  the 
land,  for  as  Blackstone  once  said: 
"Land  is  the  basis  of  all  material 
wealth." 

The  method  employed  through- 
out Western  America  today  to 
localize  use  and  control  of  irrigation 
water  to  the  public  benefit,  is 
through  the  medium  of  "irrigation 
districts." 

Irrigation  districts  are  municipal 
corporations,  created  and  controlled 
by  the  residents  of  the  political  sub- 
division which  they  serve. 

These  districts  hold  the  water  in 
trust  for  the  land  and  its  owners. 

No  individual  or  group  thereof, 
may  sell,  dissipate  or  otherwise  dis- 
pose of  the  water  right  appurtenant 
to  a  particular  area  known  as  "The 
District." 

Such  water  right  may  not  be  con- 
demned by  any  individual  or  private 
corporation. 

No  taxes  are  paid  on  such  publicly 
owned  property,  nor  may  forfeitures 
or  escheats  ensue. 

The  title  tenure  is  perpetual  in  the 
district,  and  no  private  nor  selfish 
interest  may  profit. 

The  district  may  acquire  title  to 
any  land  in  it  for  non-pa5Tnent  of 
taxes,  and  seO  the  same  for  taxes. 

It  holds  in  trust  for  the  water 
users,  water  rights,  rights-of-way, 
structures,  easements,  etc.  Power 
plants  may  be  constructed,  and 
power,  as  a  by-product  at  the  irriga- 
tion dams,  be  developed  and  sold 
for  pubhc  benefit. 

With  state  supervision,  bonds 
ranking  equally  with  county  bonds 
are  authorized  and  sold,  and  bond 
proceeds  expended  under  state  con- 
trol for  the  public  good  by  the  duly 
elected  Board  of  Directors. 

"The  greatest  good  for  the  great- 
est nmnber,"  is  the  principle  upon 
which  an  irrigation  district  is 
founded  and  conducted. 

Each  western  community  has  its 


water  question  to  solve.  This  ques- 
tion should  be  studied  broadly  and 
carefully  from  all  angles. 

It  is  one  worthy  of  the  best  judg- 
ment, loyalty  and  conscientious  de- 
votion of  conununity  leaders  for 
public  welfar  ■ . 


Its  wise  planning  and  proper  so- 
lution, will  prove  that  the  com- 
munity sun  is  rising,  not  setting. 

The  "water  question"  is  and 
should  be  the  livest  issue  today  in 
California  and  neighboring  arid  and 
semi-arid  states. 


HERE'S  OUR  NEW  "TIP' 


The  One 
You've  Been 
Waiting  for 


VETA  GRANDE! 


We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  we  are  ad- 
vised strong  financial  and  business  interests,  the 
personnel  of  which  will  be  made  public  in  about 
two  weeks,  have  just  arranged  for  complete 
financing  of  VETA  GRANDE  for  energetic 
and  extensive  development  of  its  immense  gold- 
silver  ore  resources,  sinking  a  500-foot  three- 
compartment  shaft  that  will  give  a  depth  of  850 
feet  on  the  veins,  together  with  other  develop- 
ment, and  construction  of  the  first  unit  of  a  pro- 
posed 1000-ton  milling  plant. 
This  will,  in  our  opinion,  make  VETA 
GRANDE  one  of  the  sensational  and 
largest  precious  metal  producers  in  Ne- 
vada, and  a  great  dividend  earner. 

The  stock  market  is  already  reflecting  rumors 
of  this  VETA  GRANDE  financing  by  spir- 
ited buying  and  rapid  advance  in  quotations  on 
the  San  Francis  o  Stock  Exchange.  We  do 
not  know  how  high  Veta  Grande  will  go,  but 
we  do  predict  that  it  will  soon  be  "hitting  the 
hiffh  places"  to  levels  that  will  make  present 
prices  look  mighty  small  in  comparison. 
About  five  weeks  ago  we  gave  the  public  one 
of  the  greatest  profit-making  "tips"  of  recent 
mining  exchange  history.  That  stock  has  ad- 
vanced more  than  600%  since  August  21. 

VETA  GRANDE  is  oar  new  "tip."  If  you 
are  "market  wise"  you  will  take  on  plenty 
of  VETA  GRANDE  before  it  goes  "sky- 
rocketing," which  would  deprive  you  of 
the  benefit  of  early  advances  that  are  now 
setting  in.    Now  quoted  26c  bid,  27c  asked. 

Let  us  place  your  orders  for  Veta  Grande.

offers  a  site  more  desir- 
able for  San  Francisco's 
proposed  municipal  air- 
port, due  to  its  proximity 
to  the  center  of  population  than 
property  farther  south.  This  was 
the  consensus  of  opinion  at  a  lunch- 
eon last  Friday  given  by  the  Aerial 
Affairs  Committee  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce  and 


attended  by  representatives  of  the 
Army,  Navy,  Board  of  Supervisors 
and  commercial  aviation  companies. 
The  stipulation  was  made,  however, 
that  before  the  proposed  South  San 
Francisco  site  could  be  made  ade- 
quate as  an  ideal  landing  field,  it 
would  be  necessary  to  purchase  ad- 
ditional acreage  from  Eastern  own- 
ers, thus  bringing  the  area  to  its 
required  specification  of  3,000  feet 
by  5,000. 

E.  N.  Gott,  vice-president  and 
general  manager  of  the  Fokker  Air- 
craft Corporation,  who  flew  from 
Los  Angeles  to  San  Francisco  Thurs- 
da)',  emphasized  the  necessity  of  se- 


'"Don't  get  into  MY  rut!" 

Can't  you  almost  hear  the  old  bookkeeper  as  he  advises  his  young 
friends  to  take  up  night  school— pointing  to  himself  as  an  example  of 
"the  man  who  didn't  keep  up  with  the  times"?

lecting  a  site  as  near  San  Francisco 
as  possible  in  order  to  avoid  un- 
necessary loss  of  tune  by  automobile 
transportation  to  and  from  the  land- 
ing field,  and  predicted  in  the  near 
future  commercial  aerial  transporta- 
tion systems  operating  north  and 
south  from  San  Francisco.  The 
time  between  Los  Angeles,  and  San 
Francisco,  he  said,  would  be  approx- 
imately four  hours,  and  between 
Portland  and  San  Francisco,  six 
hours. 

Having  made  a  trip  of  inspection 
of  the  various  proposed  landing 
fields  earlier  in  the  day,  Gott  ex- 
pressed the  opinion  that  South  San 
Francisco  was  the  most  accessible 
and  had  the  added  advantage  of  be- 
ing on  the  water,  thus  offering  land- 
ing facilities  for  sea-planes.  Un- 
officially, he  said  that  his  company 
was  considering  the  establishment  of 
a  Pacific  Coast  factorj',  and  that 
.">aii  Francisco,  by  reason  of  its 
central  coastwise  location,  favorable 
weather  and  labor  conditions,  might 
Ijc  selected.  The  final  decision,  he 
.said,  would  rest  largely  with  the 
encouragement  offered  his  company 
by  local  citizens. 

Major  H.  B.  Clagett,  Air  Officer, 
9th  Corps  Area,  favored  the  South 
San  Francisco  site  as  compared  with 
others  more  distant,  provided  addi- 
tional land  could  be  purchased  and 
reclamation  of  submerged  land  ac- 
complished to  bring  the  field  to  the 
required  size.  "As  aviation  pro- 
gresses," he  said,  "airplanes  will  be 
manufactured  of  so  large  a  type  that 
they  win  require  much  larger  fields 
than  at  present.  Now  we  have 
planes  weighing  10,000  pounds,  and 
these  require  an  airjxirt  of  at  least 
5,000  feet  length.  In  the  near  future 
we  will  have  planes  weighing  25,000 
pounds,  and  they  will  need  runways 
of  considerabljf  more. 

"Militating  against  the  proposed 
Millbrae  site,"  said  Major  Clagett, 
"are  the  high  tension  wires,  winds, 
etc.  WTiile  it  would  be  possible  for  a 
plane  to  land  there,  although  nith 
more  or  less  danger,  it  would  be  im- 
possible for  it  to  take  off  again." 

Supervisor  Milo  F.  Kent  strongly 
favored  the  South  San  Francisco 
site,  both  in  the  interests  of  expedit- 
ing the  air-mail  service  and  encour- 
aging the  development  of  airplane 
manufacture  in  this  community. 
"Next  to  the  question  of  hazard," 
he  said,  "the  most  important  con- 
sideration is  the  industrial  factor. 
San  Francisco  is  ideally  located, 
geographically,  for  the  manufacture 
of  airplanes,"  he  said,  "and  in  the 
very  near  future  this  wiU  be  an  im- 
portant industry." 

Edward  Hubbard  pointed  out  the 
progress  made  by  other  Coast  cities.

LEASES  aggregating  S195,890 
■  for  space  in  the  Financial 
Center  Building,  which  will  be

have  been  made  during  the  last  fort-

now  running  has  expedited  consum- 
mation of  leases,  it  now  being  pos- 
sible for  prospective  tenants  to  in- 
spect the  premises. 

According  to  Frank  C.  Sykes,  in 
charge  of  the  leasing  of  the  building, 
the  leases  making  up  this  nearly  one- 
fifth  of  a  million  dollars  have  been 
signed  by  Mitchum,  TuUy  &  Co.

fonse  Sutter,  certified  public  ac- 
countant; and  Shelton,  Goodell  &

"It  has  been  my  experience,"  said 
Sykes,  "that  tenants  of  office  build- 
ings are  demanding  higher  and 
higher  standards  in  their  business 
homes.  The  level  of  office  buQding 
standards  has  assuredly  moved  to  a

Under  the  Federal  plan  matters 
of  concern  to  the  whole  state,  mat- 
ters that,  if  in  the  direct  interest  of 
any  section  of  the  state,  are  not  out 
of  line  with  the  interest  of  the  whole 
state,  will  find  their  way  to  the 
statute  books.  Matters  that  cannot 
measure  up  to  this  standard  of  pub- 
lic welfare  will  meet  with  defeat,  as 
they  should. 

It  is  of  the  first  importance  that

trolled  by  the  rural  sections  of  the 
state.  No  entirely  selfish  purpose  of 
the  rural  sections  of  the  state  can  be 
effected  by  legislation  that  must  se- 
cure the  approval  of  the  metropoli- 
tanly  controlled  Assembly.  Where 
there  is  a  clash  of  interest  between 
the  industrial  and  agricultural  in- 
terests of  the  state,  the  issues  must 
be  settled  in  a  spirit  of  compromise, 
as  all  such  issues  should  be  settlecl 
if  the  welfare  of  the  whole  state  is  to 
be  properly  safeguarded.  Under 
such  a  balancing  of  power  and  of 
interests  between  the  two  houses  of 
the  legislature  we  may  count  on 
fewer  and  better  and  more  conserva- 
tive laws.  Only  such  measures  are 
likely  to  find  their  place  on  the 
statute  books  as  will  represent  the 
deUberate  purpose  of  the  preponder- 
ant majority  of  the  people  of  the 
state.  No  undue  advantage  can  be 
secured  for   one   set   of   interests, 


the  election  November  2,  1926.  The 
best  interests  of  the  whole  state  de- 
mand the  defeat  of  that  Proposition 
No.  20.  As  a  measure  of  wholesome 
political  structure  it  is  of  equal  con- 
cern to  the  state  that  Proposition 
No.  28,  the  Federal  plan,  be  adopted 
at  that  election. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  accordingly,  recom- 
mends voting  "No"  on  Proposition 
No.  20,  entitled  Reapportionment 
Commission!  and  voting  "Yes"  on

San 


HAT  the  Market  Street 
Railway  Company  has 
entered  into  a  new  era  of 
management  is  coming 
to  be  generally  felt  in 
Francisco.    Improvements    in 


service  and  equipment  are  notice- 
able; a  disposition  to  develop  more 
business  through  closer  contact  with 
the  public  is  apparent. 

This  is  evidence  of  the  fact  that 
for  nine  months  one  of  San  Fran- 
cisco's vital  public  utilities  has  been 
under  the  management  of  the  Byl- 
lesby  Engineering  and  Man.igcment 
Corporation,  a  pioneer  in  building 
up  California  electric  and  gas  utili- 
ties. In  twenty-five  years,  Byllesby 
management  has  grown  to  be  one  of 
the  largest  and  most  progressive 
groups  of  public  utilities  under  one 
management  in  the  world. 

To  introduce  Byllesby  manage- 
ment into  San  Francisco,  Mr. 
Samuel  Kahn,  for  many  years  identi- 
fied with  the  growth  of  the  Western 
States  Gas  and  Electric  Company, 
a  Byllesby  property,  in  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley,  hiis  accepted  the 
responsibilities  of  the  Market  Street 
Railway  Company  management,  as 
its  chief  executive  officer. 

Since  no  large  city  can  maintain 
good  civic  health  unless  its  trans- 
portation needs  are  in  the  hands  of 
competent  and  experience<l  engi- 
neers and  managers,  citizens  of  San 
Francisco  have  a  peculiar  interest  in 
the  character  of  the  Byllesby  organi- 
zation. 

"Byllesby  policy  is  one  of  absolute 
frankne-ss  in  its  dealings  with  the 
pulilic,  its  patrons  and  its  em- 
ployees," says  Mr.  Kahn.  "Every- 
thing done  by  this  company  in  the 
future  will  be  done  openly.  We  shall 
alwaj-s  place  our  cards  on  the  table, 
face  up.  We  want  to  deserve  the 
friendship  of  the  public. 


"For  the  present,  it  seems  to  me, 
we  can  best  serve  the  public  of  San 
Francisco  by  deeds  rather  than 
words.  We  are  studying  our  problem 
in  San  Francisco  with  a  view  to 
working  toward  the  best  interests  of 
the  community.  Our  property  inter- 
ests in  this  city  are  large.  Naturally, 
we  want  to  see  this  property  prosper 
and  grow.  Our  interest  in  aiding  the 
prosperity  and  growth  of  San  Fran- 
cisco is  self-evident,  it  seems  to  me; 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  Byllesby 
history  is  a  record  of  public  utility 
building  and  operation,  not  broker- 
age." 

The  Byllesby  organization  ranks 
in  size  among  the  three  or  four 
largest  organizations  in  the  United 
States  engaged  in  the  engineering 
construction,  operation  and  finan- 
cing of  public  utilities.  It  was 
founded  in  1902  l)y  the  late  Colonel 
Henry  Marison  Byllesby,  who 
worked  as  a  draftsman  on  the  con- 
struction of  the  first  central  station 
in  the  United  States — the  first  dis- 
trict Peal  Street  station,  New  York, 
which  was  constructed  in  1882. 

Twenty-five  years  ago  not  many 
public  utility  companies  were  suc- 
cessful. The  majority  were  poorly 
financed,  inadequately  constructed, 
and  operated  by  men  who  did  not 
understand  their  public  obligations. 

There  are  today  about  10,000 
employees  at  the  Byllesby  proper- 
ties, including  experienced  execu- 
tives and  technical  experts — operat- 
ing, engineering,  construction,  com- 
mercial, accounting  and  financial. 
Their  range  of  practice  and  observa- 
tion is  exceedingly  wide,  and  they 
pos-sess  ability  po.ssible  only  through 
speciaUzation. 

The  investment  banking  departs 
ment  is  prepared  today  to  finance 
the  largest  possible  requirements  of 
soundly  managed  utility  companies.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  OCTOBER  13,  192fi 


Embargo  on  Meats      Chamber  Meeting      /Realty  Convention 


The  Foreign  and  Domestic  Trade 
Department  has  received  from  the 
local  office  of  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  a  copy 
of  B.  A.  I.  Order  No.  298,  which 
reads  as  follows:  "It  having  been 
determined  by  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  that  there  exists  in  most 
of  the  countries  throughout  the 
world  the  contagious  and  infectious 
diseases  of  animals  known  as  rinder- 
pest and  foot-and-mouth  diseases 
and  to  prevent  the  introduction  of 
the  contagion  of  such  diseases  into 
the  United  States,  It  is  ordered .  .  . 
that  on  and  after  January  1,  1927, 
no  fresh  or  frozen  beef,  veal,  mutton, 
lamb,  or  pork  shall  be  permitted 
entry  into  the  United  States  from 
any  region  in  which  either  of  the 
said  diseases  exist .    .    ." 

This  order,  according  to  the  local 
inspector  in  charge,  will  have  the 
effect  of  keeping  out  fresh  or  frozen 
meat  from  South  America.  It  does 
not,  however,  affect  imports  from 
those  countries  which  have  been 
declared  by  the  Secretary  of  Agri- 
culture to  be  free  of  rinderpest  or 
foot-and-mouth  disease,  among 
which  are  Australia,  New  Zealand, 
Canada  and  Mexico.  j 


The  marketing  of  western  perish- 
able products  is  to  be  the  principal 
subject  for  discussion  on  the  opening 
da.v  of  the  western  divisional  meet- 
ing of  the  United  States  ( 'hamber  ot 
Commerce  at  Colorado  Sjirings,  De- 
cember 6  and  7.  Ralph  P.  Merritt, 
president  and  managing  director  of 
the  Sun-Maid  Raisin  Growers  of 
California,  has  been  asked  to  present 
this  subject  at  the  conference. 

Although  there  already  have  been 
some  very  remarkable  accomplish- 
ments in  the  co-operative  marketing 
field,  Secretary  of  Commerce  Her- 
bert Hoover  recently  pointed  out 
that  still  better  organization  among 
western  producers,  together  with 
closer  co-operation  between  ship- 
pers, bankers  and  the  railways,  could 
eliminate  much  waste  that  has  ex- 
isted in  the  past.  It  is  estimated 
that  this  waste  runs  into  many  mil- 
lions that  would  otherwise  be  re- 
turned to  producers. 

Co-operation  along  these  lines  is 
at  present  being  obtained  under  the 
California  grape  car  plan,  which  it 
is  thought  might  be  extended  to  in- 
clude fruit  and  vegetable  products 
all  over  the  West.  Donald  D.  Conn 
of  the  American  Railway  Associa- 
i_tion  will  explain  this  plan  in  detail. 


The  22nd  annual  convention  of 
the  California  Real  Estate  Associa- 
tion at  Del  Monte  closes  at  noon 
Thursday.  It  was  a  convention  that 
engendered  confidence  in  the  future 
anrl  is  sending  the  hundreds  of  del- 
egates home  with  the  firm  conviction 
that  1927  will  see  more  effort  and 
greater  success  for  all  phases  of  real 
estate  activity  thanany  previous  year. 

The  meeting  just  closed  mil  go 
down  in  convention  annals  as  one  of 
the  greatest  and  most  successful  ever 
held  in  the  West.  It  was  a  notable 
gathering  enhanced  by  the  presence 
of  many  national  figures  in  the  real 
estate  world.  The  program  was 
comprehensive  in  its  scope  and  cov- 
ered practically  every  angle  and  de- 
partment of  the  business. 

Indicative  of  the  importance  of 
the  convention,  and  to  which  serious 
consideration  was  given,  were  such 
propositions  as :  ratification  of  a  new 
constitution  and  by-laws,  education 
department,  salesmen's  division, 
farm  lands,  industrial  California, 
Woman's  Division,  National  Asso- 
ciation of  Real  Estate  Boards,  taxa- 
tion, standardization  of  subdivision 
operations,  reforestation,  title  and 
conveyancing  problems,  leases  and 
land  value  insurance.

^Recommendations 

(  continued  from  page  12  | 

rious  boards  and  commissions.  Two 
years  ago  an  amendment  to  the  charter 
was  approved  directing  the  classifica- 
tion and  standardization  of  salaries  of 
certain  employees  in  the  city.  That 
amendment  provided  that  pending  the 
adoption  by  the  supervisors  of  classifi- 
cation and  compensation  schedules  as 
therein  provided  the  existing  wage- 
fixing  powers  should  remain  in  force  and 
effect.  The  amendment  proposes  to 
change  this  provision  by  authorizing 
the  supervisors,  pending  the  adoption 
of  such  classification  and  compensation 
schedules,  to  have  the  power  and  au- 
thority to  fix  the  salaries  and  wages  of 
all  officers  and  employees  that  were 
intended  to  be  or  might  thereafter  be- 
(*ome  subject  to  the  provisions  of  such 
classification  and  compensation  sched- 
ule. If  this  amendment  were  approved 
the  practical  effect  would  probably  be 
the  indefinite  postponement  of  the 
classification  and  standardization  of 
salaries  which  the  people  of  this  city 
demanded  two  years  ago.  It  will  be  an 
easier  task  for  the  board  of  supervisors 
to  standardize  salaries  now  fixed  by 
others  than  salaries  fixed  by  them- 
selves. 

Recommendation:    Vote  NO. 


No.  39.     Hospital  Service. 

This  amendment  authorizes  the  su- 
pervisors to  provide  a  fund  to  establish 
a  hospitalization  system  for  the  munici- 
pal employees  of  any  public  utility  sys- 
tem heretofore  or  hereafter  established 
or  operated  by  the  city.  The  employees 
shall  become  members  thereof  and  con- 


tribute one-half  the  cost  of  the  main- 
tenance of  such  system  not  to  exceed 
the  sum  of  one  dollar  per  month  per 
employee,  and  the  city  is  to  furnish  the 
other  half  of  the  cost  thereof.  The 
city's  cost  of  the  system  would  be  made 
a  charge  against  the  public  utility  con- 
cerned. 

The  purpose  of  the  fund  is  to  furnish 
hospital  service  to  the  members  of  the 
system.  If  the  city  is  to  provide  half  of 
the  cost  of  hospital  service  to  employees 
of  its  public  utilities  there  is  no  reason 
why  this  service  should  not  be  extended 
to  other  city  employees.  Most  of  the 
taxpayers  of  San  Francisco,  small  as 
well  as  large,  have  to  pay  out  of  their 
own  means  for  any  hospital  service 
which  they  receive.  Why  should  they 
be  taxed  to  provide  such  service  to  a 
specially  selected  group  of  city  em- 
ployees? 

Recommendation:     Vote  NO.

CHOCOLATE 


to  be  cooled  or  hardened.  San  Fran- 
cisco claims  the  distinction  of  having 
the  first  plant, and  so  far  as  is  known, 
the  only  plant  using  the  vacuum- 
pack  process  of  canning  ground 
chocolate.  As  in  the  case  of  coffee, 
the  can,  after  being  filled,  is  auto- 
matically conveyed  to  a  machine 
which  loosely  crimps  the  cover  on, 
and  from  here  proceeds  a  few  feet 
farther  on  the  belt  conveyor  to  the 
vacuum  chaml)er  which  sucks  all 
air  out  of  the  can  from  around  the 
edge  of  the  loose-fitting  cover,  the 
cover  then  being  sealed  on  air-tight. 
And  now,  the  San  Francisco 
chocolate,  either  in  cake  or  in  can,  is 
ready  to  be  shipped  all  over  the 
eleven  western  states  and  to  the 
Orient.  It  is  estimated  that  20,000.- 
000  pounds  of  prepared  chocolate 
and  cocoa  are  turned  out  by  the  four 
.San  Francisco  chocolate  plants  each 
vear.

for  the  elevators,  1425  h.  p.,  as  much 
power  and  light  as  is  used  in  a  city 
of  the  size  of  Oroville.  A  round  trip 
in  each  of  the  sixteen  elevators

From  this  size  come  the  benefits  of

the  installment  of  equipment  that 
would  mean  impractical ile  rental

Among  these  unusual  features  of

What  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  is  Doinj 


FollowiiiK  is  :i  Ijriei'  outline  nf  a  few  of 
the  activities  which  have  enfcaReil  the  at- 
tention of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
during  the  last  thirty  days: 

1.  MORE  VOTING  MACHINES 

The  .San  Francisco  Chanil.cr  of  C,  m- 
merce,  as  a  result  of  co!ni)!ainis  from 
key  men.  investigated  the  congestion 
at  the  polling  places  during  the  primary 
election.  The  Registrar  of  Voters  ap- 
peared before  the  Board  of  Directors 
and  explained  that  an  adec|uate  number 
of  voting  machines  will  be  provided  for 
the  general  election  next  month.  For 
the  convenience  of  members  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  a  voting  ma- 
chine is  now  on  displav  on  the  .Marine 
Floor  of  the  Chamber  of  Conuncrcc. 

2.  ARMY  MEDICAL  CORPS  INVESTI- 

GATOR GIVEN  ASSISTANCE 
.\ll  departments  of  the  Chamber  were 
placed  at  the  disposal  of  Lieutenant 
Colonel  L.  L.  Hopwood,  Medical  Corps, 
U.  S.  A.,  who  is  in  San  Francisco  to 
determine  Pacific  Coast  sources  of  med- 
ical supplies  in  case  of  a  national 
emergency. 

3.  DISTINGUISHED  VISITORS 

The  ,San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce officially  entertained  Secretary 
of  Commerce  Herbert  Hoover  with  a 
luncheon  at  the  Commercial  Club. 
Later  in  the  month,  the  Chamber  was 
host  to  Mr.  Otto  Kahn  of  New  York. 
The  luncheons  were  given  joint Iv  with 
the  San  Francisco  Commercial  Club. 

4.  SWITCHING     CHARGE      DISCON- 

TINUED 
Through  the  etTorts  of  its  Traffic  De- 
partment, the  San  Francisco  Chamber 
of  Commerce  has  secured  discontin- 
uance of  switching  charge  assessment 
on  the  strip  of  Belt  Line  track  south  of 
the  Channel.  This  effects  a  consider- 
able saving  in  charges  for  Ivuiiber  and 
gravel  interests. 

6.  ADVANTAGEOUS  RAIL  RATES  SE- 
CURED 
The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, through  its  Traffic  Department, 
has  been  successful  in  inducing  the  rail- 
roads to  establish  commodity  rates  on 
wool  from  the  new  Twin  Falls,  Idaho, 
territory.  This  effects  a  decided  ad- 
vantage over  class-rate  combinatif)ns. 

6.  WOOL  INTERESTS  ENCOURAGED 

The  Indu.strial  Department  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  been  particularly  active  in  working 
with  a  joint  committee  of  wool  growers 
and  wool  dealers  in  an  effort  to  make 
San  Francisco  the  concentration  point 
lor  all  western  wool. 


Vote  "YES"  on  33 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  has 
recommended  an  affirmative  vote  on 
Amendment  No.  33  in  the  coming 
general  election.  This  measure,  if 
carried,  will  accomplish  the  neces- 
sary step  by  which  the  City  and 
County  of  San  Francisco  may  ac- 
quire from  the  Federal  Government 
a  free  deed  to  that  portion  of  the 
Presidio  Reservation  now  occupied 
by  the  Palace  of  Fine  Arts  and  ten 
acres  of  surrounding  land  represent- 
ing an  estimated  value  of  over  two 
million  dollars. 

Amendment  33  empowers  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  to  grant  to  the 
United  States  the  right  to  construct, 
maintain  and  operate  the  spur  track 
now  being  used  alongside  the  Marina 
by  the  War  Department  from  Fort 
Mason  to  the  Presidio. 

This  exchange  was  authorized  by 
Congress  and  approved  by  President 
Coolidge  on  March  3,  1925.  The 
entire  transaction  must  be  com- 
pleted before  July  1,  1927.

yvde  rubiier  at  Salinas,  representatives

merce were  on  the  ground  investigating

The  Sun  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce entered  an  official  protest  against 
the  reduction  of  westboimd  transcon- 
tinental rail  rates  on  bags  and  bagging,

action  was  taken  at  the  re(iue..^t  of  mem- 
bers of  the  Chandler  who  are  engaged

modities.

cy4rguments  on  'Proposition  No,  3 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce,  through  its  legislative  committee 
and  board  of  directors,  has  made  no  recommendation  concerning  the  Oleomargarine 
bill,  which  appears  on  the  ballot  as  State  Proposition  No.  3. 

In  deference  to  the  divergent  views  of  two  industrial  groups,  the  following  brief 
discussions  for  and  against  Proposition  No.  3  are  presented: 


"FOR" 


'AGAINST" 


By  SAIU  H.  GREENE, 

Secretary  Manager  California 

Dairy  Council 

Both  the  public  and  the  dairy  in- 
dustry of  California  are  entitled  to 
protection  against  misrepresentation 
in  the  advertising  and  selling  of  oleo- 
margarine. Proposition  No.  3  gives 
such  protection.  It  licenses  oleomar- 
garine manufacturers  only  for  the 
purpose  of  regulation  and  does  not 
tax  any  food  article. 


By  H.  L.  BRANDRETH, 
Vice  I'resident  The  Best  Foods 


Inc. 


Referendum  No.  3  is  the  first  at- 
tempt to  tax  a  pure  food  product. 
Violates  the  right  of  free  speech  and 
prevents  truthful  advertising.  A  vi- 
cious attempt  to  stifle  competition  by 
legislation,  and  creates  a  precedent 
dangerous  to  California's  business.  It 
also  creates  numerous  unnecessary 
political  offices  at  the  public's  ex- 
pense.

90,000  Coming  to  San 

Francisco  to  Witness 

"The  Miracle" 


flHE  greatest  of  all  dra- 
niatic  productions,  "Tile 
I  Miracle,"  appearing  in 
S;iii  Francisco  for  three 
vMi-ks,  beginning  Mon- 
il:i\.  December  27,  is  ex- 
IMHliil  l(.  ,i(li;Kt  more  than  90,000 
visitors  to  this  city  during  that  time, 
according  to  F.  S.  McGinnis,  passen- 
ger traffic  manager  for  Southern  Pa- 
cific Company. 

Morris  Gest,  who  will  present  "The 
Miracle"  at  the  San  Francisco  Civic 
Auditorium,  which  will  be  trans- 
formed into  a  twelfth  century  Gothic 
cathedral  for  the  purpose,  has  prom- 
ised to  make  the  San  Francisco  pro- 
duction equal  in  every  respect  to  the 
eight  other  presentations  which  have 
been  made  in  this  country.  All  the- 
atrical records  for  attendance  and 
receipts  were  broken  in  the  six 
American  cities  in  which  "The  Mira- 
cle" has  so  far  been  shown.  The 
original  cost  of  the  production  was 
.•i!612,000.  The  cost  of  bringing  "The 
Miracle"  to  .San  Francisco,  convert- 
ing the  Auditorium  into  a  reproduc- 
tion of  a  Gothic  cathedral  and  the  ex- 
pense of  carying  on  with  the  cast  of 
(iOO  actors,  singers  and  "extras"  is 
estimated  at  $300,000  for  the  three 
weeks. 

Lady  Diana  Manners,  noted  Eng- 
lish beauty,  daughter  of  the  late 
eighth  Duke  of  Rutland,  will  head 
the  big  cast.  She  will  be  seen  in  the 
role  of  the  madonna,  which  she  cre- 
ated in  the  American  production,  and 
she  also  will  play  the  part  of  the  nun 
on  certain  evenings,  alternating  with 
Elinor  Patterson,  beautiful  Chicago 
heiress;  and  Miss  Iris  Tree,  daughter 
of  the  late  Sir  Herbert  Beerbohm- 
Tree,  one  of  England's  greatest  actor- 
managers;  and  Madame  Elizabeth 
.Schirnier. 

"The  .Miracle"  brings  about  a  great 
art  convention  wherever  it  is  pro- 
duced. Such  has  been  the  effect  of 
the  presentations  of  this  gigantic 
s])ectacle    in    London    and    eighteen

On  ihc  fourth  page  of  this  is-

This  is  not  the  result  of  a  mem-

Il  is  an  indication  of  consistent 
grojvth.  It  is  a  recognition  of  past

other  principal  European  cities,  as 
well  as  in  New  York,  Cleveland,  Cin- 
cinnati, Boston,  .St.  Louis  and  Chi- 
cago— the  only  ,\merican  cities  as 
yet  to  have  witnessed  its  perform- 
ances. 

"The  Miracle"  was  first  created 
by  .Max  Heinhardt,  the  European 
wizard  of  sta.gccraft,  in  19n,  in  the 
Olympia,  Lon<lon.  There  30,000  peo- 
ple saw  the  performance  daily.  It 
was  later  produced  with  great  tri- 
umph in  Berlin,  .Stockholm,  Vienna 
and  other  capitals.  When  Professor 
Reinhardt  came  to  America  in  1923 
to  supervise  the  making  of  the  gigan- 
tic and  costly  production  of  "The 
Miracle"  planned  by  Morris  Gest,  he 
remained  until  the  greatest  innova- 
tion in  the  history  of  the  theater  in 
the  entire  world  was  completed  and 
presented.  Never  has  a  dramatic 
spectacle  had  so  good  and  appropri- 
ate music,  the  compositions,  in  this 
case,  being  by  the  late  Engelbert 
Humperdinck,  composer  of  "Haensel 
and  Gretel"  and  the  "Koenigskinder." 

People  from  all  parts  of  Northern 
California,  Oregon  and  Nevada  are 
making  plans  to  be  in  San  Francisco 
during  the  presentation  of  "The 
Miracle,"  and  Southern  Pacific  Com- 
pany has  announced  special  low 
round-trip    excursions. 


All  School  Children  to 

Share  in  Work  of 

The  "Chest" 

"VERY  boy  and  girl  in  the 
schools  of  San  Francisco 
will  be  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  share  hereafter 
in  the  work  of  the  Com- 
munity Chest  under  a 
plan  anncninced  by  the  School  Co- 
operation Committee  of  the  Chest. 

As  their  elders  share  in  this — one 
of  the  largest  of  all  community  enter- 
prises— by  making  annual  contribu- 
tions of  money,  so  the  children,  un- 
der the  announced  plan,  will  par- 
ticipate by  aiding  to  awaken  interest 
and  quicken  the  comnmnity  sense  of 
responsibilty  toward  the  less  fortu- 
nate among  the  city's  population. 

The  plan  of  school  co-operation  is 
said  to  be  the  most  elaborate  pro- 
gram of  the  kind  ever  attempted 
since  the  organization  of  the  Chest. 
It  is  based  on  the  belief  that  knowl- 
edge of  the  city's  social  problems  is 
essential  to  the  training  of  the  school 
children  for  citizenship. 

The  main  features  of  the  program 
are: 

1.  A  poster  contest  in  which  the 
children  of  all  public,  private  and 
Ijarochial  schools  will  participate. 
The  artistic  efforts  of  the  children 
in  this  direction  will  be  later  given 
wide  public  display. 

2.  The  holding  of  a  Community 
Chest  night  simultaneously  in  every 
school  in  the  city,  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Parent-Teacher  Associa- 
tion. A  pageant  is  in  preparation  for 
this  event,  and  it  is  also  planned  to 
have  the  school  children  on  this  oc- 
casion make  talks  on  the  work  of 
Community  Chest  agencies  that  they 
have  visited. 

3.  The  holding  of  Chest  agency 
tours  for  the  benefit  of  the  school 
children. 

4.  The  issuance  of  special  Com- 
munity Chest  editions  of  all  the 
school  papers. 

5.  The  giving  of  school  radio  pro- 
grams, with  the  prize  orators  of  the 
high  schools  as  broadcasting  speak-

Let  Austin  Build  and  Finance 


REGARDLESS  of  the  size  of 
your  building  project  Austin  de- 
sign and  construction  guarantees  the 
permanent  type  of  commercial  or  in- 
dustrial structure  which  protects  \our 
investment. 

Austin  buildings  are  substantial,  the 
best  that  steel,  brick,  and  concrete  can 
create.  In  all  Austin  buildings  \ou 
are  assured  of  economical  operation 
by  designs  which  provide  unobstructed 
floor  areas,  abundant  daylight  and 
natural  ventilation. 


The  Austin  Method  of  Unit  respon- 
sibility guarantees  under  one  contract 
a  lump  sum  price,  the  date  of  delivery, 
and  the  quality  of  workmanship  and 
material   on    the   completed    structure. 

Yet  Austin  building  service  costs  no 
more.  Over  two  hundred  small  and 
large  industrial  and  commercial  build- 
ings completed  in  California  in  the 
past  three  years  give  evidence  of  what 
Austin's  half  century  of  building  ex- 
perience means. 

Austin  will  finance  or  build  for  lease.

WE  you  ever  tried  to 
\i'-iialize  the  future  of 
tile  great  Pacific  area — 
Auii  with  what  success? 
Captain  Robert  Dollar 
had  a  habit  some  years 
ayo  of  doing  this  when  speaking  to 
New  York  audiences  of  hard-headed 
business  men,  and  they  laughed  at 
him.  No  one  seems  to  have  ovcr- 
(hawn  the  picture.  Certainly  Cap- 
tain Dollar  did  not.  Realization  fol- 
lows so  rapidly  upon  the  heels  of 
prophecy  that  one  is  in  danger  of  be- 
coming bewildered  as  he  goes  over 
the  figures  to  ascertain  if  the  facts  of 
present-day  development  can  be  true. 
Everyone  knows,  or  feels  without 
being  told,  that  we  are  in  the  midst 
of  a  most  remarkable  era  of  devel- 
opment. This  is  especially  true  in 
relation  to  our  new  acquaintances. 
Perhaps  the  outstanding  feature  of 
the  last  ten  years  has  been  the  wid- 
ening circle  of  personal  acquaint- 
ances in  many  lands  that  the  average 
American  now  enjoys. 

Eras  of  development  are  not  new. 
They  have  been  opening  up  since 
Cohunhus  discovered  .\nierica  and 
doubtless  the  same  was  true  before 
lliat  (lay.  Very  likely  the  reader, 
with  the  writer,  when  attempting  to 
visualize  the  future,  starts  back 
into    the    past,   studies    a    few    inter- 


esting, gratifying  and  sometimes 
startling  figures,  then,  having  some- 
thing practical  at  hand,  turns  to  that. 
The  picture  is  incomplete,  except 
as  it  produces  a  generally  nebulous 
sketchy  impression  that  our  greatest 
worry  will  come  from  trying  to  keep 
l)ace  with  the  progress  of  events.  We 
know  that  the  future  has  great  possi- 
bilities, always  providing  that  we 
make  the  best  use  of  the  opportuni- 
ties immediately  about  us. 

Balboa  Day 

Here  in  Hawaii  a  custom  has  de- 
veloped of  celebrating  Balboa  Day 
in  honor  of  the  man  who  climbed 
the  mountains  at  the  Isthmus  of  Pan- 
ama and  pressed  on,  down  the  west- 
ern slope,  and,  moving  out  into  the 
waters  of  the  ocean,  discovered  and 
named  the  Pacific.  This  is  a  day  for 
all  races  of  peoples  originating  or 
now  living  about  the  Pacific  to  as- 
semble and  glorify  Balboa.  A  more 
correct  definition  would  be  to  say 
that  we  hail  the  new  era  in  which 
Balboa  was  an  incident  and  iiioneer. 

Chinese  and  .lapanese  take  i)art. 
notwithstanding  no  one  knows  how 
far  back  it  was  that  their  ancestors 
discovered  (he  Pacific.  They  have 
not  suffered  any  disgrace,  they 
pocket  no  i)ride,  they  do  not  experi- 
ence the  sli,!ihlesl   sense  i-.t   lunnilia- 


tion  when  they  join  in  applauding 
this  discoverer  of  the  Pacific. 

The  explanation  of  this  interest- 
ing state  of  affairs  and  gratifying 
mental  balance  among  the  represent- 
atives of  the  different  races  and  peo- 
ples is  that  in  the  course  of  develop- 
ing events  Balboa  happens  to  be 
picked  up  as  a  part  of  the  scenery 
to  emphasize  the  reality  of  the  dawn 
of  a  new  day.  AH  races  and  shades 
of  mankind  can  join  in  extolling  Bal- 
boa as  the  discoverer  of  the  Pacific 
without  the  love  feast  being  marred 
by  any  son  of  the  Orient  rising  to 
inquire  whether  western  civilization 
is  assuming  too  much  when  it  ap- 
plauds its  own  first  knowledge  of 
this  discovery,  as  all  that  was  ever 
known  by  any  people  of  this  stretch 
of  water — the  Pacific. 

In  other  words,  the  time  has  ar- 
rived, at  least  here  in  Hawaii,  when 
we  can  overlook  a  great  niany  little 
details  that  might  cause  irritation  or 
wasteful  discussion  if  we  stop  by  the 
wayside  to  argue.  There  is  a  feeling 
that  the  eyes  and  minds  of  the  rank 
and  file  of  the  leaders  are  centered 
on  the  big,  broad,  worthwhile  things 
that  build  business  and  increase  the 
social  and  mental  comforts  of  human 
relationships.

Greetings  to  Hawaii 


.AN  FRANCISCO 
and  the  Hawaiian 
Islands  have  been 
bound  together 
since  the  days  of  the  pioneers 
by  ties  of  tradition,  sentiment 
and  mutual   interest. 

We  of  San  Francisco  realize 
in  fullest  measure  the  import- 
ance to  us  of  the  close  personal 
contacts  which  we  have  had 
with  the  leading  men  and 
institutions  of  the  Islands  for 
many  years  and  we  are  fully 
cognizant  of  the  importance 
to  us  of  the  business  of  the 
Islands;  and  therefore  we  have 
an  interest  in  the  matters 
which  pertain  to  the  Hawaiian 
Islands  which  is  so  close  to 
us  that  it  has  become  inter- 
woven into  San  Francisco's 
commercial  and  social  fabric. 
The  annual  commerce  of 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  amounts 
to  about  two  million  tons  of 
cargo,  valued  at  approximately 
one  quarter  of  a  billion  dollars. 
In  this  trade  San  Francisco  is 
the  prime  beneficiary,  as  this 
port  receives  approximately 
ninety  per  cent  of  the  products 
shipped  from  Hawaii  for  dis- 
tribution to  all  parts  of  the 
world.

It  is  significant  that  of  the 
32,000  passengers  who  an- 
nually visit  the  Islands,  more 
than  two-thirds  have  arrived 
at  and  departed  from  San 
Francisco. 

The  Hawaiian  Islands  have 
always  stirred  the  imagination 
of  our  people,  and  their  po- 
sition at  the  crossroads  of  the 
Pacific  gives  the  Islands  a 
great  importance  in  the  world 
problems  around  the  Pacific. 


The  San  Francisco  Chamber 
of  Commerce  has  dedicated 
to  Hawaii  this  number  of  San 
Francisco  Business  in  order 
that  our  people  may  better 
understand  the  wealth,  re- 
sources and  attractions  of  our 
friends  and  neighbors  of  the 
Hawaiian  Islands,  and  we 
hope  it  will  have  the  imme- 
diate effect  of  enlivening  the 
interest  of  the  people  of  the 
Pacific  slope  in  matters  per- 
taining to  the  Islands. 

The  business  interests  of 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  have 
extended  a  cordial  invitation 
to  the  Western  Division  of 
the  United  States  Chamber 
of  Commerce  to  hold  its  1927 
meeting  in  Honolulu.  We  of 
San  Francisco  are  extremely 
anxious  that  this  impxjrtant 
meeting  may  be  so  scheduled, 
and  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  will  con- 
tinue to  work  to  this  end  so 
that  the  business  interests  of 
the  entire  Pacific  Coast  may 
have  representatives  visit  the 
Hawaiian  Islands  and  better 
understand  the  charm  and 
beauty,  the  business  oppor- 
tunities and  the  hospitality 
of  the  people  of  Hawaii. 


SAN  KHANCISCO  BUSINESS.  NOVEMBER  10, 1926 


HE  ocean  lane  between 
the  California  coast  and 
the  Hawaiian  Islands 
was  a  beaten  path  long 
before  the  first  covered 
wagon  crossed  the  plains 
in  '49.  Since  that  time  ships,  pro- 
pelled in  turn  by  sail,  steam  and 
motor,  heavy  with  cargo  and  carry- 
ing many  passengers,  have  constant- 
ly plied  back  and  forth  between  the 
"Islands"  and  the  "mainland." 

San  Francisco  is  nearer  to  Hono- 
lulu than  is  any  other  United  States 
port  by  more  than  half  a  day's  fast 
sailing,  and  the  interchange  of  sub- 
tropical products  for  commodities 
produced  in  the  temperate  zone  is  a 
trade  that  has  a  sound  economic  and 
geographical  basis.  It  is  a  trade 
which  will  pernxanently  endure  and 
increase  with  the  continued  multi- 
plicity of  wants  incident  to  the  ad- 
vancing standards  of  living  and  the 
progress  of  civilization. 

Records  show  that  a  few  genera- 
tions ago  a  San  Francisco  pioneer 
merchant  who  had  urgent  business 
in  the  Columbia  River  area  found  it 
advantageous,  for  both  speed  and 
safety,  to  take  passage  to  Honolulu, 
ship  on  to  Sitka,  .\laska,  and  finally 
sail  down  the  coast  to  the  Columbia 
River.  For  a  time  children  from 
the  mainland  were  sent  to  schools 
in  the  islands,  newspapers  came  over 
from  the  islands,  and  it  was  quite  the 
mode  to  have  fancy  laundering  done 
in  the  Honolulu  laundries. 

With   the   passage   of   years   these 


pioneer  conditions  have  been  equal- 
ized and  in  some  cases  reversed. 
However,  San  Francisco  still  is.  and 
will  continue  to  be,  the  most  im- 
portant factor  in  the  trade  of  Hono- 
lulu, and.  on  the  other  hand,  the 
"Crossroads  of  the  Pacific"  remains 
the  greatest  offshore  Pacific  market 
for  the  "City  by  the  Golden  Gate, 
Gateway  to  the  Pacific."  The  Ha- 
waiian theme  always  inspires  an  at- 
tempt at  poetic  expression.  In  fact, 
the  lure  of  Hawaii  accounts  for  some 
32,000  passengers  carried  every  year 
between  the  islands  and  California 
ports,  two-thirds  of  them  via  San 
Francisco.  But  climate  and  scenery 
are  not  the  chief  economic  resources 
of  the  islands.  The  annual  com- 
merce of  Hawaii  amounts  to  nearly 
2,000,000  tons  of  cargo,  valued  at 
about  .$200,000,000.  San  Francisco 
receives  more  than  90  per  cent  of  the 
products  shipped  from  Hawaii  and  is 
the  major  world  port  for  shipments 
to  Hawaii.  This  trade  between  San 
Francisco  and  the  islands  is  valued 
at  more  than  .^UD.OOO.ddO  annually. 

Principal  Products 

The  principal  products  of  the  Ha- 
waiian Islands  are  sugar  and  pine- 
apples. All  of  the  raw  sugar  shipped 
from  the  islands  is  destined  to  refin- 
eries located  on  San  Francisco  Bay. 
The  pineapples  are  practically  all 
canned  before  being  shipped,  and  80 
per  cent  of  the  annual  pack  is  like- 
wise sent  to  San  Francisco  for  dis- 
tribution throughout  the  world.     Of 


relatively  lesser  importance  to  the 
economic  life  of  the  islands  are  stock 
raising  and  the  production  of  the 
famous  Kona  coffee,  the  flavor  of 
which  is  said  to  be  equal  in  every 
way  to  the  old  government  Java,  and 
which  was  a  favorite  beverage  of 
the  late  Luther  Burbank. 

Shipments  to  Hawaii  consist  of  ev- 
erything necessary  to  the  economic 
welfare  of  an  advanced  people  who 
produce  mainly  specialized  commod- 
ities and  have  only  light  manufac- 
turing establishments.  Large  ship- 
ments of  petroleum,  lumber,  grain 
and  iron  and  steel  account  for  nearly 
60  per  cent  of  Hawaii's  import  ton- 
nage, hut  for  much  less  than  half  of 
the  value  of  receipts.  San  Francisco 
supplies  about  half  of  the  petroleum 
and  half  of  the  grain.  Most  of  the 
lumber  is  shipped  from  the  Pacific 
Northwest,  and  the  iron  and  .steel 
come  from  Atlantic  ports.  Two- 
thirds  of  the  remaining  300.000  long 
tons  of  general  cargo  comes  from 
San  Francisco,  and  includes  shoes, 
automobiles,  clothing,  radios,  food 
products,  tobacco,  soap,  machinery, 
tires,  ])aint.  jewelry,  paper  and,  in 
fact,  a  great  deal  of  some  things  and 
a  little  of  all  the  others. 

The  foreign  trade  of  Hawaii  is 
quite  small,  and  amounts  to  only 
about  15  per  cent  of  her  total  trade. 
Imports  consLst  chiefly  of  fertilizers 
from  Northern  Europe  and  Chile, 
coal  from  .Australia  and  Japan,  .some 
East  Indian  petroleum.  Oriental  rice,

and  a  little  cement  from  Northern 
Europe.  The  exports  are  chiefly 
coal,  petroleum  products  and  gen- 
eral merchandise,  which  are  redis- 
tributed throughout  the  South  Seas. 

Hawaii  is  non-contiguous  territory 
of  the  United  States,  and  commerce 
with  the  mainland  is  technically 
called  coastwise,  in  the  same  wray 
that  intercoastal  traffic  is  so  desig- 
nated. This  Hawaiian  coastwise 
conmierce  comprises  about  70  per 
cent  of  the  total.  Inter-island  traffic 
accounts  for  the  remaining  15  per 
cent. 

The  tonnage  of  Hawaiian  com- 
merce is  almost  equally  divided  be- 
tween receipts  and  shipments.  This 
provides  a  two-way  cargo,  and 
makes  for  economical  ship  operation, 
which  is  in  turn  reflected  in  the 
freight  rates.  Ocean  freight  rates 
are  a  very  important  consideration 
in  the  economic  life  of  Hawaii.  An 
analysis  of  the  dollar  trade  statistics 
reveals  that  the  value  of  the  ship- 
ments is  greater  than  the  value  of  the 
receipts.  This  would  indicate  that 
investments  there  are  paying  divi- 
dends by  the  balance  of  the  com- 
modities account  alone,  to  say  noth- 
ing of  the  added  evidence  of  the 
millions  spent  annually  by  tourists. 
In  short,  economic  conditions  in  the 
Hawaiian  Islands  are  remarkably 
sound. 

Each  of  the  two  iiuijor  industries. 


sugar  growing  and  pineapple  rais- 
ing and  canning,  is  an  epic  in  itself. 
On  the  windward  siile  of  the  islands 
the  rainfall  is  abundant  and  sugar 
cane  grows  without  irrigation.  On 
the  lee  side,  however,  the  crop  is 
produced  entirely  by  irrigation.  .Maui 
Island  produces  approximately  15,- 
000  pounds  of  sugar  per  acre  year 
after  year  on  irrigated  land.  Unir- 
rigated  land  produces  8,000  pounds 
per  year.  During  an  average  year 
Cuba  produces  4.900  pounds  and 
Louisiana  2,620  pounds  per  acre. 

The  greatest  problem  that  con- 
fronted the  sugar  pioneer  in  Hawaii 
was  water.  It  is  estimated  that  half 
a  ton  of  water  is  required  for  each 
pound  of  sugar  produced.  The  first 
irrigation  ditch  in  the  islands  was 
dug  in  1857.  There  are  now  thou- 
sands of  miles  of  flumes  and  ditches, 
and  hundreds  of  miles  of  tunnels 
carrying  water  to  the  cane.  Several 
x>S  the  tunnels  are  miles  in  length, 
the  longest  being  more  than  six 
miles  through  a  mountain  range. 
One  large  plantation  requires  as 
much  water  to  keep  its  cane  growing 
as  .San  Francisco  requires  for  all 
purposes.  Thousands  of  artesian 
wells  assist  in  providing  the  water. 
Large  -  scale  reforestation  of  the 
mountains  has  been  undertaken  in 
order  to  hold  the  water  from  running 
to  the  sea,  and  to  insure  the  flow  of 
artesian  wells. 

The    forty-seven    sugar-producing 


corporations  of  the  islands  have  or- 
ganized a  world-famous  experiment 
station  al  Honolulu.  Every  year  a 
test  of  the  .soil  from  each  cane  field 
is  made  which  determines  what  type 
of  cane  is  best  suited  to  each  particu- 
lar soil,  and  what  fertilizers  are 
needed.  The  story  of  the  fight  to 
conquer  the  insect  pests  which 
threatened  to  destroy  the  sugar  in- 
dustry of  the  islands  is  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  romances  of  ap- 
plied science,  .\fter  years  of  search 
and  heartbreaking  discouragements, 
insect  enemies  were  found,  colonized 
and  set  to  work  on  the  borers  and 
hoppers.  These  parasites  attacked 
the  larvae  of  the  destroyers  and  thus 
protected  the  sugar  cane. 

The  story  of  the  pineapple  indus- 
try is  no  less  dramatic.  The  first 
pineapples  were  brought  from  the 
East  Indies  a  generation  or  so  ago, 
and  were  grown  for  the  Honolulu 
fresh  fruit  market.  The  yield  was  so 
abundant  that  the  market  was  soon 
flooded  and  the  pioneers  had  to  take 
a  heavy  loss.  Naturally,  they  up- 
rooted the  plants  and  cast  them  out. 
A  few  homesteaders  rescued  some  of 
the  uprooted  pineapples  and  trans- 
planted them  to  their  own  gardens, 
and  in  time  a  small  cannery  was  es- 
tablished. The  1903  pineapple  pack 
amounted  to  1.893  cases.  In  1913  it 
was  1,667.122,  and  in  1923  had  grown 
to  a  total  of  5,895,745  cases,  which

IHE  Salinas  Valley 
less  than  a  hundred 
miles  from  San  Fran- 
cisco, Will,  in  all  prob- 
ability, have  the  dis- 
tinction of  producin;; 
the  first  rubber  grown 
commercially  in  tht 
United  States. 

This  is  the  predic- 
tion of  Dr.  William  B. 
McCallum,  head  of  the 
department  of  scien- 
tific research  of  the 
Rubber  Exploration 
Company  and  J.  Miller 
Williams,  manager. 

This  company  has 
been  conducting  guay- 
ule  (you  should  call  it 
"wy-oo-lic")  culture  operations  in 
the  Salinas  Valley  for  some  time  and 
results  so  far  are  considered  favora- 
ble. The  present  objective  of  the 
company  is  to  set  out  enough  acreage 
to  warrant  the  erection  of  a  rubber 
extracting  plant  here  in  1930. 

For  this  is  needed  a  minimum  of 
1,500  acres  per  year,  or  a  total  of 
fi.OOO  acres  under  guayule  cultiva- 
tion. In  order  to  attain  that  end. 
Dr.  McCallum  and  Mr.  Williams  un- 
derstand the  necessity  of  the  co-oper- 
ation of  farmers  who  own  suitable 
land.  For  this  they  will  raise  the 
nursery  stock  and  set  out  the  plants 
under  a  system  of  profit-sharing 
leases,  the  owner  caring  for  the  crop 
himself  until   maturity. 

Yield    Varies 

Like  any  other  crop,  the  yield 
varies  with  the  soil  and  other  condi- 
tions. On  the  best  soils  large  yields 
are  obtained,  while  the  poorer  soils, 
or  with  less  rainfall,  the  yield  is 
smaller.  The  average  yield  in  the 
part  of  the  Salinas  Valley  thus  far 
testetl   is  five  tons  of  dry  shrub  per 


acre.  This  amount  of  shrub  will 
produce  1,000  or  1,500  pounds  of  dry- 
commercial  rubber  at  the  end  of  four 
years,  depending  upon  location  and 
climatic  conditions  during  the  period 
of  its  growth. 

In  an  interview  recently  Dr.  Mc- 
Callum and  Mr.  Williams  authorized 
publication  of  the  following: 

While  the  main  investigations,  up 
to  the  present,  have  been  limited  to 
California  and  the  Southwestern 
States,  suitable  soil  and  climatic  con- 
ditions arc  known  to  exist  in  certain 
portions  of  the  two  belts  of  mild 
frosts  that  extend  around  the  earth 
within  the  temperate  zones.  When 
guayule  shrub  assumes  its  logical 
place  in  supplying  its  part  of  the 
world's  rubber,  some  of  these  other 
regions  will  be  utilized.  However, 
the  first  large  plantings  of  guayule 
shrub  will  be  in  the  Salinas  Valley, 
and  where  we  have  found  conditions 
for  nursery  plant  production  to  be 
excellent.  On  this  account  the  nur- 
series supplying  shrubs  for  Central 
("alifornia,  we  believe,  will  be  per- 
manently located  near  Salinas. 


The  operations  of  guayule  culture 
in  Monterey  County  are  being  car- 
ried on  by  the  Rubber  Exploration 
Company,  which  is  one  of  the  sub- 
sidiary companies  of  the  Interconti- 
nental Rubber  Company,  New  York 
city,  of  which  George  H.  Carnahan 
is  president.  In  addition  to  the  guay- 
ule interests  of  the  Intercontinental, 
they  also  control  over  22,000  acres  on 
the  Island  of  Sumatra,  Dutch  East 
Indies,  which  is  devoted  to  the  cul- 
tivation of  rubber  trees. 

Description  of  Plant 

This  plant  is  a  native  of  the  Chi- 
huahuan  desert  region  of  Old  Mexico, 
where  it  grows  at  an  elevation  of 
from  4,000  to  7,000  feet  and  where 
the  general  climatic  conditions  are 
not  dissimilar  to  those  of  the  Salinas 
Valley  and  other  places  in  California. 
The  rainfall  in  guayule's  natural 
habitat  ranges  from  seven  to  four- 
teen inches  annually,  and  with  light 
winter  frosts.  The  ])lant  is  a  woody- 
shrub  that  resembles  somew-hat  the

As  unlikely  as  either  of  these  im- 
aginative |jc>ssil>ilities  would  be  in 
modern-day  construction,  this  was 
the  anomalous  situation,  from  an  ex- 
ecutive point  of  view,  in  which  San 
Francisco  found  itself  several  years 
ago,  due  to  the  rapid  growth  of  high- 
way traffic,  both  commercial  and 
pleasure. 

The  butcher,  the  haUer.  the  grocer 
were  struggling  up  our  front  stairs 
along  with  our  guests.  In  a  busi- 
ness sense  we  were  sending  our  de- 
livery trucks  out  the  front  way.  the 
Peninsula  Highway,  crowding  cus- 
tomers away  from  our  door  in  the 
resultant  congestion. 

The  comnmnity.through  thcCham- 
ber  of  Commerce,  the  California 
State  Automobile  Association  and 
other  organizations,  sought  and 
found  a  way  out  of  the  singular  situ- 
ation in  the  Bayshore  Highway. 

The  end  was  not  easy  to  attain  and 
the  desired  result  is  not  yet  assured, 
despite  the  long  .struggle  of  civic 
forces  through  the  chamber,  the  au- 
tomobile association  and  other  or- 
ganizations. The  Bayshore  Highway 
and  other  needed  highways  in  Cali- 
fornia seemed  within  reach  for  a 
few  hours  after  the  recent  election, 
■when  the  one-cent  gasoline  tax  meas- 
ure on  the  ballot  was  showing  a  ma- 
jority in  its  favor.  Late  returns, 
however,  turned  the  tide  against  the 
proposition  for  financing  completion 
of  the  slate  higtiway  svstem. 


The  gasoline  tax  method  of  financ- 
ing highway  construction  was  en- 
ilorsed  by  the  Chamber  of  (Commerce 
and  hundreds  of  other  organizations. 
The  California  State  Automobili-  As- 
sociation led  a  vigorous  campaign, 
supporteil  by  other  groups,  in  its  he- 
half,  lint  the  presence  of  another 
highway-financing  plan  on  the  ballot 
tended  to  confusion  and  the  conflict 
of  opinion  over  Ihe  two  measures 
ilid  more  toward  defeat  of  the  meri- 
torious gas  lax  measure  than  any 
other  factor. 

Up  to  the  Legislature 

Willi  present  state  road-building 
funds  practically  exhausted,  work  on 
all  but  a  few  highway  projects  in  the 
slate  is  at  a  standstill. 

The  Bayshore  Highway  is  not  .vet 
in  that  category,  but  shortly  will  be 
unless  relief  is  provided  by  the  forlh- 
coniing  session  of  the  Legislature. 

Work  is  at  present  under  way  on 
this  back-door  artery  of  travel  for 
San  Francisco  because  the  family 
with  the  crowded  front  door,  the 
business  with  its  rear  exit  blocked, 
look  matters  in  its  own  hands  and 
provided  funds  for  a  start  on  con- 
struction. 

The  architects  of  our  new  means 
of  ingiess  and  egress  have  completed 
their  plans  and  the  State  Highway 
Commission  is  ready  to  go  ahead  as 
soon  as  additional  funds  are  pro- 
vided on  a  program  that  is  destined 
to  make  San  Francisco's  Bayshore 
Highway  one  of  the  model  roads  of 
the  nation. 

Workmen  have  already  "knocked 
a  hole  in  the  wall"  and  another  con- 
certed effort,  some  more  community 


co-operation  in  this  battle  again.st 
things  as  they  are.  and  a  result  will 
he  achieved  conuuensurate  with  the 
energy  |)ut  into  the  task. 

The  various  a.gencies  called  into 
consultation  on  the  ailment  that  af- 
flicted San  Francisco  found  it  a  case 
< :f  congestion  of  the  heart  of  traffic, 
due  to  a  single  artery  leading  along 
the  i>eninsula  that  constituted  the 
city's  lone  land  connection  with  the 
einoire  that  lay  behind  it. 

The  treatment  required  another 
artery — one  that  would  be  of  suffi- 
cient size  and  of  directness  of  route 
that  the  flow  of  commercial  life- 
blood  would  he  fully  freed. 

The  bottleneck  of  the  Peninsula 
Highway  must  be  completely 
smashed. 

So  a  wide,  direct  commercial  road 
must  be  the  solution  of  the  problem. 

The  .San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Conunerce  took  the  problem  up  with 
the  city,  the  Board  of  Supervisors 
and  the  city  engineer.  The  .\utonio- 
bile  .Association  co-operated  and  the 
.State  Highwav  Conunission  was  con- 
sulte<l. 

.\ll  interested  groups  were  brought 
together  and  the  consequence  of 
these  activities  was  a  decision  for  a 
high-grade  industrial  road  which, 
when  completed,  will  mean  as  much 
to  San  Francisco  trade  and  industry 
and  to  the  adjacent  metropolitan  and 
agricultural  areas  as  the  running  of  a 
new  railroad  through  the  territory. 

Those  who  may  have  wondered 
why  the  new  facility  for  highway 
transportation  along  the  peninsula 
was  not  brought  closer  to  the  exist- 
ing  road   find   their   answer  in   the

the  construction  of  a  bridge  across

and  other  advantages  and  was  the 
natural  gateway  to  the  Southwest, 
and  the  railroad  would  necessarily 
come  to  Leavenworth  without  aid. 
The  railroad  men  looked  about,  and 
Westport  Landing  and  nearby  men 
helped  finance  the  Burlington  bridge 
at  that  point.  The  result  was  Kansas 
City.  Leavenworth  might  have 
drawn  population  now  at  Kansas 
City  an<l  St.  .loseph  and  be  a  city  of 
half  a  million  at  least,  for  it  had  a 
beautiful  and  strategic  natural  loca- 
tion. 

To  hark  back  to  another  illustra- 
tion, would  there  be  today  as  big  a

not  been  content  with  steamboat 
transportation  and  had  not  thought 
that  the  railroad  could  never  take

Louis  is  a  great  and  prosperous  city, 
but  if  .she  had  reached  out  and  en- 
coura.ged  and  insisted  upon  the  rail- 
roads as  a  link  with  the  East  she 
today  would  be  a  city  of  several 
million  people.

well  established  it  will  be  more  dif- 
ficult to  rearran.ge  or  to  establish 
anew  than  is  toda.v  the  case  with  a 
railroad.  You  can  remember  the 
lime  when  a  few  hundred  thousand 
dollars  would  start  a  first-class  auto- 
mobile factory,  given  the  ri.ght  men; 
today,  even  with  the  best  man  in  that 
industry,  ten  millions  would  not  be 
too  much  capital,  and  even  then  the 
future  of  the  automobile  company 
could  not  be  predicted  definitely. 
That  is  what  will  happen  in  air 
transportation;  a  million  dollars  to- 
day would  establish  a  concern  that 
six  years  from  now  will  demand 
thirty  or  forty  millions. 

Municipalities  are  not  concerned, 
however,  with  this  phase  as  much  as 
they  are  with  the  problem  of  build- 
ing up  as  an  aero  transportation  and 
manufacturing  center  and  benefiting 
from  the  establishment  of  this  new 
industry  and  aid  to  commerce.  Ad- 
mitting that  air  transportation  will 
come  rapidly  and  in  a  very  large 
way,  the  viewpoint  of  the  city  and 
the  civic  bodies  is  toward  an  exam- 
ination of  what  is  rational  in  linking 
in  with  these  advances  and  main- 
taining a  place  as  an  aero  transporta-

ica under  the  jiersonal 
supervision  of  Morris 
I'aled  for  the  first  time  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  in  San  Francisco's 
Civic  Auditorium,  December  27,  the 
"miracle"  for  many  who  watch  the 
performance  will  be  the  actual  phys- 
ical accomplishment,  only  a  small 
part  of  which  can  really  even  be  sus- 
pected. 

Max  Rcinhardt  first  came  to  Amer- 
ica on  the  express  invitation  of  Mor- 
ris tiest  to  discuss  the  possibility  of 
producin,!>  "The  Miracle."  His  visit 
resulted  in  the  perfection  of  prelimi- 
naries incident  to  the  production.  Mr. 
Gcst    then    visitcil    Heinliardt    at    his 


home  in  Salzburg.  Here  further  con- 
ferences took  i)lace  between  Gest, 
Rcinhardt.  Vollmoeller,  the  author; 
Wolfrcn  Humperdinck,  son  of  the 
composer;  Einar  Nilson,  the  conduc- 
tor, and  numerous  other  artists. 
Next,  Mr.  Gcst  dispatched  Xorman- 
Bel  Geddes,  the  designer  of  the 
scenic  investiture  of  "The  Miracle," 
as  well  as  the  costumes,  to  Salzburg, 
where  he  was  in  daily  and  nightly 
conferences  with  Rcinhardt. 

For  this  spectacle  the  stage  and 
auditorium  of  the  Civic  .\uditorium 
will  have  to  be  completely  remod- 
eled, a  task  which  requires  two 
weeks  and  a  staff  of  fifty  working 
day  and  night.  The  planning  of  the 
original  work  required  nine  consecu- 
tive months  of  immense  work  on  the 
part    of    Mr.    Gediles,    although    six 


weeks  is  sufficient  time  for  him  to 
design  an  ordinary  production. 

There  are  forty-two  windows  and 
no  IvVo  are  alike.  The  eleven  around 
the  apse  on  the  stage  are  37  feet  high 
and  10  feet  wide.  One  hundred  and 
twenty-six  maximum  size  blueprint 
sheets  were  required  for  the  871 
drawings  of  the  mechanical  produc- 
tion of  "The  Miracle" — more  than 
are  necessary  in  building  a  New 
York  .skyscraper — and  470  different 
costume  drawings  were  made  bv  Mr. 
Ged.les. 

The  .\uditoriuni  has  to  be  com- 
pletely changed  from  its  original 
arehilccture  to  that  of  a  cathedral.

s;i.n(l)rush,  but  is  an  entirely  tiiffer- 
ent  plant.  In  fact,  tlie  guayule  lias 
never  Ijeen  known  to  Krow  naturally 
outside  of  the  limited  area  where 
found  in  Mexico  and  a  portion  of  the 
Bis,'  Bend  country  in  Texas. 

The  most  remarkable  feature  of 
the  guayule  plant  is  that  it  contains 
a  relatively  hiKh  i)ercentaKe  of  rub- 
ber, from  10  to  15  per  cent  of  the 
dry  weight  of  the  plant  being  chemi- 
cally pure  rubber.  In  the  rubber 
trees  grown  commercially  in  re- 
stricted areas  near  the  equator  the 
rubber  is  contained  in  a  milk-like 
sap,  called  the  latex,  which  is  ob- 
tained by  tapping  the  tree.  But  in 
the  guayule  the  rubber  occurs  as 
solid  rubber,  mostly  in  the  bark,  and 
is  extracted  by  mechanical  processes. 

There  are  many  hun<lre(l  varieties 
of  guayule,  differing  in  their  botani- 
cal characteristics  and  rubber  con- 
tent. In  addition,  the  rubber  con- 
tent of  the  shrub  varies  w  ilh  the  age 
of  the  plant,  with  the  character  of 
the  soil,  etc.,  in  which  it  is  grown, 
and  with  the  time  of  year  during 
which  it  is  harvested. 
Process  of  Extraction 

In  the  process  of  extraction,  the 
whole  shrub,  root  and  branches,  is 
first  crushed  in  a  series  of  rolls  in 
the  presence  of  water.  From  this  the 
pulp  is  fed  into  flint  pebble  mills, 
where  the  pebble  action,  with  addi- 
tional water,  not  only  thoroughly 
mills  the  woody  portions  of  the 
shrub,  but  agglomerates  the  rubber 
into  small  spungy  particles  which 
readily  float  clear  of  the  then  water- 
logged wood  fibre,  when  the  whole 
mass  is  run  into  large  settling  tanks. 

The  rubber  thus  collected  is  sub- 
jected to  various  washing  devices, 
then  sheeted,  dried  and  blocked  into 
100-pound  cakes,  then  boxed  for 
shipment.  The  extraction  of  rubber 
from  guayule  shrub  is  not  new,  being 
an  established  business  in  Slexico 
since  1904,  when  this  company  first 
developed    a    process    of   extraction. 


.Since  that  time  approximately  130.- 
000,000  pounds  of  this  rubber  has 
been  produced  and  marketed.  The 
present  annual  output  from  the  wild 
shrub  found  in  Mexico  by  this  com- 
pany's factories  there  exceeds  8,500.- 
000  pounds.  This  annual  i)roduction 
from  the  wild  shrub,  large  as  it  may 
seem,  represents  considerable  less 
than  1  per  cent  of  the  world's  total 
output. 

Stimulated  by  the  immense  po.ssi- 
bilities  of  rubber  consumption  over 
what  could  possibly  be  supplied  by 
the  wild  shrub,  in  the  year  1907  the 
directors  of  the  Intercontinental  es- 
tablished an  extensive  series  of  in- 
vestigations with  a  view  to  growing 
the  plant  agriculturally  in  the  I'nited 
States,  where  70  per  cent  of  the 
world's  rubber  is  consumed.  In 
bringing  a  desert  plant  like  the  guay- 
ule under  cultivation,  many  difficul- 
ties were  met,  but  these  were  finally 
overcome  after  eighteen  years  of 
elaborate,  long-continued  and  very 
expensive  research  and  investiga- 
tions. Experimental  plantations  have 
been  set  out  in  most  of  the  South- 
western .States,  nineteen  of  which 
were  set  out  in  different  places  of 
California,  ranging  in  size  from  one- 
half  to  200  acres.  The  oldest  of  these 
plantings  has  been  in  operation  since 
1912. 

From  these  various  tracts  an  exact 
record  has  been  obtained  as  to  the 
cost  of  producing  the  crop,  and  the 
rubber  yield  in  the  different  places. 
Practical  methods  and  special  ma- 
chinery have  been  developed  for 
field  operations  on  an  extensive 
scale. 

The  cultivated  guayule  shrubs  are 
produced  from  seed  in  nurseries, 
where  they  are  grown  for  one  year. 
This  operation  has  been  developed 
not  only  to  meet  the  very  exacting 
cultural  methods  necessary,  but  also 
on  a  scale  to  produce  economically 
the  immense  number  of  shrubs  that 
will  be  required  to  plant  extensive 
areas. 


From  the  nursery  the  shrubs  are 
set  out  in  the  field  approximately 
7,260  to  the  acre,  which  is  done  with 
machinery  develoiied  specially  for 
that  purpose. 

Once  these  plants  are  set  out,  they 
should  be  kept  thoroughly  cultivated 
and  free  of  weeds  until  maturity,  at 
the  en<l  of  four  years  in  the  field. 
The  growth  of  the  shrub  is  very  slow 
and  on  this  account  no  irrigation  is 
required  in  regions  which  have 
twelve  inches  or  more  of  winter 
rains.  The  guayule  plant  has  been 
found  to  do  best  on  good  soils  of 
light  texture,  and  is  well  suited  to 
the  large  stretches  of  upland  soil 
found  in  most  of  the  California  val- 
leys. However,  the  <levelopment  of 
this  industry  will  naturally  first  fol- 
low throughout  the  most  favorable 
regions,  not  only  as  to  soil  condi- 
tions, but  climatically.  These  are 
represented  by  the  various  coa.stal 
valleys  of  California. 


Reclamation   Will  Be  Topic  of 
Western   Conference 

Reclamation,  with  particular  ref- 
erence to  important  Western  i)rojects 
mentioned  by  .Secretary  of  Com- 
merce Herbert  Hoover  in  recent  ad- 
dresses, will  occupy  the  larger  part 
of  the  program  at  the  Western  divi- 
sional meeting  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  the  United  States  at 
Colorado  Springs,  December  6  and  7. 
.Secretary  Hoover  has  pointed  out 
that  it  will  take  about  ten  years  to 
complete  some  of  the  larger  projects, 
among  which  may  be  mentioned  the 
Colorado  River,  and  by  that  time  the 
country  will  need  more  land  for  food 
production.  It  is,  therefore,  vitally 
important  for  the  Western  States  to 
get  together  on  plans  for  large-scale 
reclamation  development,  so  that 
they  may  be  united  in  presenting 
their  needs  to  the  country  at  large, 
and  the  Colorado  Springs  meeting  of 
the  National  Chamber  offers  an  ad- 
mirable opportunitx-  for  such  action.

WHAT  DO   I   GET  OUT  OF  IT? 


Bi,  IRWIN  H.  RICE 

Managing  Director  San  Francisco  Shopping  News  and  Chairman 
Activities  Committee  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 


VERY  man  who  has  so- 
Hcili'd  memberships  for 
:i  rhamber  of  commerce, 
cji  for  any  other  organi- 
zation, will  note  the  fa- 
miliarity of  the  ques- 
|]i>n.  -W  hat  do  I  get  out  of  it?"  and, 
as  well,  the  companion  remark,  ''Oh, 
all  right,  Dick,  I  will  give  you  one  to 
help  you  out." 

The  astonishing  thing  is  that  both 
these  sentences  arc  on  the  tongue's 
end  of  many  men  who  are  successes 
ill  their  businesses  from  every  view- 
point— men  who  have  much  secret 
pride  in  their  shrewdness  and  in 
their  ability  to  think  straight  and 
<|uickly. 

Both  these  narrow  viewpoints  will 
be  eliminate<l  as  soon  as  men  realize 
that  un<ler  the  law  of  compensation 
they  get  out  just  as  much  as  they  put 
in,  and  not  in  the  measure  of  money 
paid  for  dues  or  contributions,,  but 
to  the  extent  of  their  understanding 
and  co-operative  effort. 

The  majority  of  men  sit  back  when 
they  have  sent  their  check  to  the 
Chamber  of  Conunerce,  smugly  satis- 
fied that  they  have  performed  their 
whole  duty  in  the  premises.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  with  few  exceptions, 
they  have  not  even  met  their  full  ob- 
ligation in  a  monetary  way„and  have 
not  even  begun  to  contribute  of  their 
thought  and  effort  toward  the  func- 
tioning of  this  great  institution.  ,\nd 
it  is  an  institution — as  vital  and  nec- 


essary a  part  of  the  connnunity  as 
any  branch  of  government  —  that 
works  with  greater  direct  results  and 
with  infinitely  more  efficiency. 


iHwiN  H.  hii;k 

It  is  the  focal  point  for  community 
and  business  problems,  where  big 
men  give  extravagantly  of  their 
brains  and  time  for  the  benefit  of 
all,  and,  most  unfairly,  with  a  very 


little  contributing  force  from  the 
"members." 

There  i.s  so  nuich  of  the  "outside 
looking  inside"  attitude  among  men 
who  should  know  better.  That  you 
should  pay  your  part  of  the  financial 
support  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  a  simple  obligation  of  citi- 
zenship, an  obligation  that  at  the 
same  time  is  an  investment  in  your 
share  of  the  progress  and  prosperity 
of  your  city.  And  while  the  finances 
are  most  neces.sary,  all  the  money  in 
San  Francisco  would  not  make  a 
Chamber  of  Commerce  without  the 
brains  and  energy  of  its  officials  and 
workers. 

Come  inside  and  look  out.  No  man 
needs  an  invitation  to  be  in  fact  a 
part  of  his  own  organization.  Your 
opinions  and  viewpoints  are  of  value. 
No  one  knows  when  his  suggestions 
may  be  the  beginning  of  a  most  im- 
l)ortant  movement.  The  very  fact 
that  you  have  been  blessed  with  an 
intellect  of  leadership  in  your  own 
affairs  is  a  plain  obligation  that  you 
use  some  of  it  for  the  good  of  the 
conununity.  There  is  no  greater  sat- 
isfaction than  the  consciousness  of 
having  done  something  worthwhile 
that  was  not  directly  inspired  by  the 
dollar  hanging  onto  it,  although  Ihe 
mercenary-minded  may  derive  equal 
satisfaction  by  accepting  the  fact  that 
all  work  for  the  public  good  will  re- 
turn to  him  like  bread  cast  upon  the 
waters.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BfSlNESS.  NOVEMBKR   1(1.1920 


What  Aviation  Means  to  San  Francisco 


ued  from  puee  11  ) 


only  \vli;it  is  coniinK  via  air  today, 
hut  tomorrow  as  well.  We  must  con- 
sider the  things  that  a  city  can  prof- 
itably do  to  keep  its  transportation 
e<|uipnient  up-to-date  and  complete 
— one  of  the  most  vital  features  in 
city  i)rogress.  To  know  what  is  right 
and  reasonable  in  securing  air  trans- 
portation, to  avoid  dangerous  and  ex- 
pensive enthusiasm  and  to  get  per- 
manently on  the  map  and  profit- 
ably into  the  traffic  of  the  airways 
we  must  know  what  is  rational  and 


what  is  foolish  in  commercial  flying. 
Sixteen  years  ago  men  were  flying 
publicly,  but  the  best  men  in  the 
"game."  as  it  was  then,  agreed  that  it 
would  be  twenty-five  or  thirty  years 
before  flying  would  be  jiractical 
acro.ss  the  continent.  I  recall  a  con- 
versation with  Wilbur  Wright  in 
1910  in  which  he  ventured  the  opin- 
ion rather  guardedly  that  an  airplane 
in  the  future  might  have  as  much  as 
fiO  horsepower.  It  will  not  be  very 
long  before  we  shall  sec  airplanes 
having    700    horseiiower    flying    on

rather  than  quantity  of 
service,  is  the  manifest 
measure   of  merit. 

Sixty  years'  experience 
in  financing  the  commer- 
cial and  industrial  devel- 
opment of  the  West  has 
made  this  institution  one 
of  the  largest  in  sheer 
power  of  resource ;  but  to 
merit  this  big  volume  of 
business  it  has  constantly 
adhered  to  soimd  bank- 
ing principles.

schedule  across  the  country.  And 
Wilbur  Wright  was  at  that  lime  the 
most  far  -  sighted,  keenest  -  minded 
man  we  had  in  aviation.  Only  six 
years  ago  the  aero  experts  of  I.os 
.\ngeles  agreed  that  it  was  unneces- 
sary to  offer  financial  encourage- 
ment to  the  Post  Office  Department 
to  route  the  air  mail  that  way  be- 
cause it  would  be  impossible  to  fly 
over  the  Sierra,  and  the  southern 
route  was  the  only  one  that  could  be 
chosen.  In  fact,  our  best  aero  ex- 
perts regarded  the  air  mail  proposi- 
tion in  1920  as  visionary  and  short- 
lived. And  the  air  mail  aviators 
flew  2.2.')6.000  miles  last  year! 

The  progress  in  the  next  six  years 
will  outstrip  vastly  what  has  been 
done  in  flying  in  the  past.  Certain 
essentials  are  definitely  accom- 
plished and  certain  features  of  prog- 
ress are  sure  to  be  available  in  the 
near  future.  \  very  cleancut  prog- 
ress has  been  made  lately  '"  avia- 
tion motors  that  is  of  great  benefit 
to  commercial  flying.  Light,  de- 
pendable, economical  air-cooled  mo- 
tors have  been  developed  which  re- 
sult practically  in  equipping  the  pas- 
senger-carrying airplane  with  three 
motors  instead  of  centralizing  all 
the  power  production  in  one  motor. 
This  makes  possible  greater  power 
in  three  units,  so  that  if  one  fails  the 
airplane  can  still  proceed  to  an  air- 
port. We  can  today  estimate  costs 
and  make  schedules  for  air  transpor- 
tation. Flying  bv  night  is  more  fea- 
sible. 

Improvements  that  are  to  come 
will  make  possible  the  stopping  of 
airplanes  after  alighting  so  that 
much  smaller  landing  places  will  be 
necessary  than  are  required  today,  a 
partial  conquering  of  the  fog  and 
cloud  blanket  over  places  where  air- 
jilanes  must  leave  and  arrive  and  a 
much  greater  use  of  radio  for  guid- 
ance and  communication  in  the  air. 
Perhaps  the  greatest  single  ad- 
vancement now  looming  up  is  the 
promised  development  of  the  all- 
metal,  economical  dirigible  airship, 
a  typically  .\merican  progress.  We 
now  have  the  metals  and  methods 
of  construction  which  should  make 
this  tonnage-carrier  of  the  air  feasi- 
ble, and  several  American  firms  or 
individuals  are  engaged  already  in 
this  development.  When  it  comes  it 
will  not  push  the  airplane  out  of  the 
way  any  more  than  aircraft  will  re- 
place or  injure  steamship  traffic,  but 
it  will  take  a  very  definite  place  in 
long-range  transportation  and  should 
offer  agreeably  low  rates.  The  old 
cloth  type  of  airship  could  not  be 
made  dependable  and  economically 
enough  to  enter  into  the  business 
field,  and  it  is  yet  too  early  to  say 
ju.st  what  the  all-metal  airship  will 
accomplish,  but  it  will  certainly  be

SAN  FRANCISCO  Bl^SIXESS.  NOVEMBER  10. 1926 


The  Bay  Shore  Highway 


[  continued  from  page  10  ] 


statements  of  city  and  state  engineers 
wlio  planned  the  Bayshore  Highway 
that  this  is  to  be  a  route  primarily 
designed  for  commercial  traffic. 

The  thought  behind  the  routing  of 
this  new  road  for  San  Francisco  was 
that  it  should  be  built  so  that  the 
products  of  the  back  country  from 
farm  and  field  could  be  moved  in  by 
automotive  vehicle  and  the  manu- 
factured goods  from  the  city  could 
be  moved  out. 

And  the  liayshore  Highway  will 
mean  just  this  to  San  Francisco:  that 
a  broad,  direct,  fast  channel  of  com- 
munication has  been  opened  up  over 
w'hich  our  industries  may  move  out 
their  wares  to  market  and  through 
which  our  people  may  bring  their 
raw  materials  for  factories,  their 
supplies  for  business  and  their  food 
and  produce  for  homes. 

Part  of  a  second  highway  out  of 
the  city  already  existed  in  the  old 
Bayshore  Highway,  twisting  a  tortu- 
ous route  over  the  hills  of  our  south- 
ern hill  barrier.  About  all  that  the 
highway  engineers  will  use  of  this 
old  road  is  its  name. 

The  Straight-Line  Idea 

The  new  Bayshore  Highway  is 
being  built  on  the  shortest  direct 
line  between  .San  Francisco  and  San 
Jose — the  strai.ght-line  idea.  As  near- 
ly as  is  practicable  it  will  be  a 
straight  route  of  48  miles  down  the 
peninsula,  and  the  day  is  not  far  dis- 
tant when  it  will  be  and  must  be 
completed  to  the  full-planned  width 
of  125  feet  for  its  entire  length. 

In  this  road  the  engineers  were 
freed  from  the  restriction  that  has 
reduced  the  efficiency  of  many  a 
modern  road — that  of  having  to  fol- 
low the  route  of  what  was  once  a 
winding  wagon  road. 

And  into  the  Bayshore  route  they 
put  another  new  idea  of  present-day 
road  building.  They  passed  up  the 
centers  of  population  along  the  way. 
Communities  no  longer  arc  so  anx- 
ious to  bring  the  peak  flow  of 
through  traffic  into  their  own  main 
streets  and  this  principle  was  par- 
ticularly applicable  to  construction 
of  a  commercial  roadway. 

The  net  result  was  selection  of  a 
route  along  the  level  bayshore  side 
of  the  peninsula,  located  almost  en- 
tirely east  of  the  main  lines  of  rail- 
road travel  and  passing  east  of  the 
present  and  possible  future  centers 
of  population  between  San  Francisco 
and  San  Jose. 

The  city  was  already  provided 
with  a  broad  thoroughfare  from  the 
center  of  town  to  the  point  where 
this  new  highway  would  most  nat- 
urally be  started — Potrero  Avenue. 

From  the  terminus  of  Potrero 
.\venue  at  its  junction  with  ,\rmy 
Street,   tlic    Bayshore   Highway   hits 


out  in  almost  a  direct  line  for  the 
city  limits.  The  route  follows  along 
relocated  sections  of  San  Bruno  Ave- 
nue to  Waterloo  Street,  thence  across 
Silver  Avenue  to  Charter  Oak  Street, 
thence  straight  over  Charter  Oak  to 
the  Paul  Tract,  across  the  Paul  Tract 
and  some  private  property  to  the  city 
line. 

The  City  Foots  the  Bill 

Under  the  present  legislation  pro- 
viding for  the  Bayshore  Highway, 
the  City  of  San  Francisco  foots  the 
bill  for  this  portion  of  the  work. 

Whatever  this  section  within  the 
city  will  cost  will  be  in  addition  to 
the  $500,000  already  pledged  by  San 
Francisco  toward  this  roadway 
southerly  from  the  city  limits. 

One  of  the  first  steps  to  make  the 
Bayshore  Highway  possible  was  the 
enactment  of  legislation  permitting 
the  municipality  to  expend  city  funds 
outside  of  San  Francisco  on  a  road 
primarily  serving  San  Francisco. 

The  next  step  was  to  secure  such 
funds  an<l  the  supervisors  responded 
with  a  $500,000  appropriation  which 
is  making  possible  the  present  work 
on  the  highway. 

When  the  Legislature  finally  en- 
acted the  law  placing  the  Bayshore 
Highway  into  the  state  system  it  was 
provided  that  the  road,  as  a  .state 
road,  should  run  from  the  city  limits 
to  San  Jose,  leaving  San  Francisco  to 
finance  that  portion  within  its  limits. 

The  Slate  Highway  Commission  is 
expending  the  money  provided  by 
.San  Francisco  for  construction  and 
a  five-mile  stretch  from  .South  San 
Francisco  to  Broadway,  Burlingame, 
has  been  graded. 

From  city  funds,  rights  of  way  for 
the  full  length  of  the  highway  are 
being  purchased. 

The  other  unit  of  work  fully  fi- 
nanced is  the  underpass  at  South 
San  Francisco  eliminating  a  danger- 
ous  grade   crossing. 

This  underpass,  a  model  of  such 
construction,  is  being  jointly  paid  for 
by  the  Southern  Pacific,  the  South 
San  Francisco  Belt  Line  and  the 
state. 

Financing  Needed 

But  these  two  units  of  work  on  the 
Bayshore  Highway  are  to  all  intents 
and  purposes  isolated  until  further 
financing  is  provided  by  the  state 
for  construction  of  this  needed  ar- 
tery of  travel  for  its  full  length. 

From  the  city  limits  this  highway 
will  follow  almost  a  straight  line 
over  the  hills  above  the  Southern 
Pacific  tunnels,  dropping  down  to 
the  flats  beyond  South  San  Fran- 
cisco and  then  following  closely  the 
shore  of  the  bay  the  entire  distance 
down  the  peninsula.

lioii  representinK  the  Associated 
Cliaiiibers  of  Comiueree  of  Hawaii 
will  attend  the  coming  Colorado 
Springs  convention,  according  to 
word  i-eceiveil  here  from  Ernest  B. 
Clark,  secretary  of  the  island  trade 
body. 

Some  of  the  arginnents  with  which 
the  islanders  will  support  their  in- 
vitation are: 

1.  That  Hawaii's  importance  as 
the  commercial  crossroads  of  the  Pa- 
cific deserves  official  recognition  by 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the 
United  States: 

2.  That  a  visit  to  Hawaii  by  main- 
land businesi  men  will  serve  to  ac- 
quaint them  at  first  hand  with  the 
great  commercial  possibilities  of  the 
islands,  and  will  help  promote  trade 
relations  with  comnmnilics  not  yet 
dealing  directly  with  Ihiwaii; 

3.  That  the  restful,  interesting  sea 
voyage  from  any  one  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  ports  to  Honolulu  and  back  af- 
fords not  only  opportunity  for  relax- 
ation, but  for  the  furtherance  of  ac- 
quaintanceship among  the  business 
men  luaking  the  trip;  and. 

4.  That  Honolulu,  with  its  new 
hotels  and  world-famed  hospitality, 
can  offer  to  the  Western  Division  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the 
United  States  full  facilities  for  a 
business  convention,  in  surroundings 
of  natural  beauty  unequalcd  the 
world  over. 

It  is  further  pointed  out  by  the 
Hawaiian  interests  that  in  1927  it 
will  be  possible  to  make  the  trip  to 
Honolulu  from  San  Francisco  in  four 
and  one-half  days,  on  one  of  the  fast- 
est and  most  luxurious  passenger  lin- 
ers in  the  world,  while  sailings  from 
all  ports  will  be  so  increased  that  it 
will  be  easy  to  work  out  a  schedule 
which  will  conserve  time  to  the  ut- 
most for  those  with  whom  that  is  an 
important  factor.  Attention  is  also 
called  to  the  fact  that  those  business 
men  who  must  keep  in  constant 
touch  with  their  affairs  at  home  can 
do  so  throughout  the  trip  by  radio 
on  shipboard  and  cable  from  Hono- 
lulu; while  Honolulu  papers  carry 
daily  New  York,  Chicago  and  .San 
Francisco  market  reports  by  Asso- 
ciated Press,  transmitted  by  wire  and 
radio. 

The  Hawaiian  Chambers  of  Com- 
merce conclude  their  invitation  as 
they  begin  it — with  a  warm  and 
hearty  AUOHA,  so  expressive  of  the 


friendly,  hospitable  spirit  which 
characterizes  the  Hawaii  of  today  as 
much  as  it  did  Hawaii  of  almost-for- 
gotten yesterdays.

The  fruit  is  harvested  ripe  for  can- 
ning. A  machine  invented  by  a  can- 
nery engineer  peels  the  skin,  carves 
out  the  core  and  slices  the  tender 
fruit  into  golden  discs.  The  cores 
are  chopped  up  for  confectioners' 
use.  and  the  pulp  adhering  to  the 
peel  is  grated  and  canned,  while  the 
shreds  arc  made  into  the  syrup  used 
in  canning.  Finally,  the  refuse  is 
taken  back  to  the  fields  and  con- 
verted into  fertilizer.  Unlike  the  pig 
in  the  packing  house,  not  even  a 
squeal  is  wasted. 

.Scenically  and  climatically  the  Ha- 
waiian Islands  offer  a  variety  of  at- 
tractions to  suit  every  taste  and 
charm  all  visitors.  Each  of  the  five 
main  islands  has  attractions  all  its 
own.  Rainfall  or  dry  weather,  balmy 
or  cool,  windy  or  calm  are  all  a  mat- 
ter of  a  few  miles  distance  and  per- 
haps a  few  thousanti  feel  elevation. 

If  we  may  draw  a  conclusion  from 
these  brief  remarks,  it  will  be  that 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  represent  the 
development  possible  in  a  sub-tropi- 
cal territory  by  the  application  of 
American  methods,  and  that  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  region  and  the  Ha- 
waiian Islands  are  ideal  economic 
reciprocals,  which  gives  promise  of 
a  steadily  increasing  and  mutually 
profitable  interchange  of  commodi- 
ties.

Department  of  Commerce  a  grouping 
of  figures  tliat  might  assist  me  in  vis- 
ualizing tlie  expanding  commerce  of 
ttie  nations  whose  happiness  and 
wealth  or  sufferings  and  poverty 
will  make  up  the  rise  or  fall  of  that 
section  of  tlie  world  covered  under 
the  general  classification  of  the  Pa- 
cific area.  Recent  statistical  reports 
show  that  the  exports  of  the  United 
States  to  the  countries  of  the  Pacific 
total  something  less  than  a  third  of 
the  total  exports  for  the  same  period 
to  Europe.  They  disclose,  however, 
the  interesting  fact  that  American 
exports  to  the  countries  of  the  Pa- 
cific were  larger,  though  the  margin 
is  relatively  small,  than  the  total  ex- 
ports to  the  Latin-American,  South 
and  Central  Americas.  It  is  signifi- 
cant that  these  totals  arc  expressed 
in  billions  of  dollars.  We  have 
stepi)ed  up  from  the  million-dollar 
and  hundred-raillion-dollar  level.  \Vc 
are  dealing  in  mass  accumulation  of 
wealth  that  read  like  a  romance  a 
few  years  ago. 

This  pleasant  reminder  of  the 
gains  we  are  making  in  the  Euro- 
pean section  of  our  export  trade  and 
in  the  Latin-American  section  nat- 
urally quickens  our  curiosity  to 
know  with  what  speed  we  have  been 
moving  in  building  up  the  commerce 
of  the  Pacific.  Fortunately,  the  stat- 
istician of  the  Department  Of  Com- 
merce is  able  to  give  the  record. 

Since  1900  the  trade  of  the  United 
States  with  all  countries — with  the 
sole  exception  of  Russia  in  Asia — 
has  shown  remarkable  totals.  This 
trade  in  the  twenty-five-year  period 
has  increased  nearly  eightfold.  The 
trade  with  China  has  increased  six- 
fold and  that  includes  a  portion  of 
the  period  that  China  has  been  suf- 
fering from  destructive  civil  war. 
American  trade  with  .lapan  has  in- 
creased tenfold,  with  the  British  East 
Indies  elevenfold.  Our  business 
with  the  Philippines  is  fully  twenty- 
one  times  greater  in  1925  than  it  was 
in  1900. 

It  is  helpful  to  supi)lement  this  rec- 
ord with  a  statement  in  dollars  and 
cents  to  make  the  picture  a  little 
more  vivid.  The  foreign  trade  of 
China,  for  instance,  with  all  coun- 
tries, including  our  own,  increased, 
in  round  numbers,  from  $289,000,000 
in  1900  to  .$1,600,000,000  in  1925. 
Japan's  commerce  in  the  same  period 
advanced  from  ■$24.'>.OOO,O00  to  $2,- 
111)11,000,000:  tliat  of  Australia  from 
.$348,000,1111(1  to  $1,400,(1110,000;  that  of 
the  Philippines  from  $47,000,000  to 
$268,000,000.  The  increase  of  the 
commerce  of  other  countries  within 
the  Pacific  area  runs  from  three  to 
five  fold. 

Within  the  period  selected  it  is  to 
be   remembered  that  trade  develop-

2.").(l(ll)  square  feet,  were  required  to 
build  this  production. 

The  scaffolding  employed  in  doing 
this  required  more  lumber  than  en- 
ters into  the  construction  of  six 
eighl-rooin  collages. 

The  stage  is  almost  completely  cov- 
ered with  a  horseshoe-shape  plat- 
form occupying  ()..")00  .square  feet. 
Twenty  huge  columns,  with  bases  5 
feet  in  diameter  and  sun  shafts  into 
the  air  00  feet,  terminate  into  a 
vaultetl  ceiling  which  reaches  a 
height  of  7.5  feet.  The.se  columns 
weigh  41.180  pounds.  The  vaulted 
ceiling  adds  10.000  pounds  more 
weight. 

There  are  eleven  huge  wings,  13% 
feet  wide  by  60  feet  in  height.  They 
are  the  largest  ever  placed  on  any 
.stage.  The  average  .stage  wing  is 
4V2  by  16  feet. 

Behind  these  huge  wings  are  fifty- 
four  chapel  columns  rising  50  feet  in 
the  air,  terminating  into  nine  vaulted 
grou|)s. 

The  altar,  occupying  the  center  of 
the  stage,  covers  an  area  of  240 
.square  feet  and  is  37  feet  high.  II 
required  twenty  corpenters.  working 
.3,840  hours,  to  construct  it. 

Thirteen  ornamental  grilles  screen 
the  high  altar  and  chapels. 

The  entire  stage  .setting  is  masked 
at  the  rear  by  a  cyclorama  of  14,000 
square  feet  of  black  felt,  the  largest 
ever  ma<le,  and  sufficient  to  cover 
ten  city  lots.  The  floor  covering  is 
6,700  square  feet  of  linen  duck,  which 
is  covered  by  an  equal  amount  of 
asbestos  slate  to  give  the  required 
stone  floor  effect  of  a  cathedral. 

The  proscenium  opening  is  con- 
structed in  a  series  of  three  arches, 
forming  a  trinity  arch.  To  build 
this  required  l.i.OOO  feet  of  molding, 
5.000  feet  of  lumber.  10  barrels  of 
plaster  and  20  rolls  of  wire  mesh. 

To  the  right  of  the  proscenium 
arch  is  a  turret  60  feet  in  height,  in- 
side of  which  is  Incorporated  a  flight 
of  sixty  steps,  which  is  used  by  only 
one  character  in  the  play,  and  that 
for  less  than  five  minutes. 

The  walls  in  the  auditorium  to  the 
left  and  right  of  the  proscenium  are 
22  feet  wide.  Twenty-five  carpenters 
worked  eight  hours  a  day  for  ten 
days  building  them. 

To  haul  the  scenery  alone  into  the 
Civic  Auditorium  requires  a  fleet  of 
forty-foot  scene  trucks.  There  were 
204  loads  in  all,  sufficient  to  fill 
twenty-seven  80-foot  baggage  cars. 

The  mechanical  operation  of  the 
scenic  equipment  is  controlled  by 
three  mechanics  stationed  120  feet 
above  the  stage  floor.  They  arc  in 
charge  of  four  electric  motors  total- 
ing 80  horsepower. 

These  electric  motors  are  attached 
to  two  steel  shafts.  75  feet  in  length, 
on  which  are  twenty-seven  drums 
that  haul  a  weight  of  24,300  pounds 
a  distance  of  eighty  feet  in  80  sec- 
onds for  the  quick  change  where  the 
cathedral  dissolves  into  a  forest.

SAX  FRANCISCO  BISIXESS,  NOVEMBER  10. 1926 


Visualizing  the  Pacific  Area 

(  continued  from  page  19  1 


iiient  h;is  been  affected  bv  the  World 
War.  The  dollar  of  1925  and  192G 
i.s  not  of  the  same  value  as  the  dollar 
of  1900.  These  details  that  might 
worry  the  statistician  seeking  a  fine 
analysis  do  not  in  any  measure  de- 
tract from  the  wonderful  picture  of 
growing  wealth,  trade,  commerce, 
exchange  of  products  and  people. 
This  is  gratifying  to  contemplate  as 
a  record  of  the  past.  What  is  more 
to  the  point,  it  is  an  inspiration  and 
a  challenge  to  those  who  look  into 
the  future. 

This  picture  would  lose  much  of  its 
power  to  move  men  to  action  if  it 
were  dotted  with  evidences  of  trade 
expansion  forced  by  war,  after  the 
manner  of  ancient  days  when  war 
lords  strutted  about  the  earth,  con- 
quered weaker  peoples  and  made 
them  do  their  masters' bidding.  These 
statistical  statements  of  increased 
business  in  the  Pacific  come  as  near 
to  being  a  perfect  product  of  new 
business  gained  through  service  and 
friendship  as  can  be  found  anywhere 
on  the  face  of  the  globe.  Certainly 
there  is  no  region  of  equal  area 
wtierc  friendship  has  counted  for  so 
much  in  a  material  way. 

In  the  midst  of  this  area  of  expand- 
ing business,  Hawaii  stands  a  stra- 
tegic  center — strategic   in   its   defen- 


sive value  to  the  I'nited  States  of 
America,  if  any  misguided  people 
should  be  so  foolish  as  to  sally  forth 
to  attack  (we  do  not  believe  they 
will);  strategic  in  its  value  as  a 
region  where  ships  of  commerce  may 
find  a  fair  haven,  as  they  have  since 
the  earliest  explorers  and  traders 
crossed  the  Pacific;  strategic  espe- 
cially in  its  value  as  a  center  for  de- 
veloping, promoting,  expounding  and 
radiating  the  doctrine  of  interna- 
tional, interracial  and  personal 
friendships,  the  broader  acquaint- 
anceships that  are  the  soundest  foun- 
dations for  growing  business. 

The  Territory  of  Hawaii  today 
stands  as  one  of  the  finest  examples 
of  American  idealism.  Its  people 
govern  themselves  as  they  have  gov- 
erned themselves  for  many  decades, 
and,  one  might  say,  for  hundreds  of 
years,  solving  their  own  problems  in 
their  own  way.  Whereas  formerly 
they  were  living  in  a  little  world  of 
their  own,  they  now  carry  on  (as  a 
result  of  their  own  request  for  an- 
nexation) under  the  protection  of  a 
great  nation,  which  enables  them  to 
devote  all  their  energies  to  domestic 
improvement  and  increasing  the 
number  of  the  nation's  friends. 

Thanks  to  the  protecting  arm  of 
a  great  nation,  a  great  variety  of  peo- 


ple can  assemble  and  work  out  prob- 
lems naturally  resulting  from  new 
contacts  without  fear  of  differences 
of  opinion  causing  an  international 
incident.  Religious  freedom,  freedom 
of  speech,  public  education  and  a 
general  spirit  of  tolerance  have  all 
done  their  part  in  making  the  experi- 
ence of  everyday  business,  religious, 
educational  and  political  life  in  Ha- 
waii something  in  the  nature  of  a 
laboratory  test  that  will  be  of  value 
to  other  peoples  around  this  Pacific 
area.  We  are  trying  out  things  here 
that  never  have  been  done  elsewhere. 

The  best  product  that  we  have 
brought  forth  is  the  large  measure 
of  friendship  that  is  possible  among 
the  peoples  from  all  parts  of  the 
earth,  groups  that  have  been  rated 
heretofore  as  impossible  of  assimila- 
tion or  adjustment. 

Leaders  within  this  strategic  area 
have  visualized  the  probability  that 
people  with  varying  antecedents  and 
different  ideals  can  live  as  neighbors 
and  friends.  They  can  enjoy  mutual 
self-respect  and  unite  in  the  promo- 
tion of  friendly  industrial  relation- 
ships and  industrial  service.  These 
will  add  to  the  fund  of  human  com- 
forts and  make  even  the  luxuries  of 
life  available  to  all  members  of  the 
human  race.

BANSPOHTATION,  pa- 
tron saint  of  progress, 
will  soon  add  another 
chapter  to  the  colorful 
history  of  the  develop- 
ment of  the  West. 

The  last  half  century  has  seen  the 
transcontinental  journey  from  East 
to  West  reduced  from  months  to 
weeks  and  from  weeks  to  days,  until 
the  once  tedious  overland  trip  now 
is  but  a  matter  of  hours. 

The  lumbering  oxen-drawn  cart 
gave  way  to  the  prairie  schooner,  the 
stagecoach  and  the  pony  express. 
Then  came  the  first  tran.scontinental 
railroad  train  wheezing  and  halting 
on  the  long  grind  over  mountain  and 
plain. 

.Now  comes  the  announcement  that 
the  new  luxurious  limited  trains  will 
cut  five  hours  from  the  present  run- 
ning time  and  make  the  journey  from 
San  Francisco  to  Chicago  in  sixty- 
three  hours. 

When  the  San  FrancLsco  Overland 
Limited  leaves  for  Chicago  on  Sun- 
day, November  14.  a  new  epoch  in 
transcontinental  railway  transporta- 
tion will  begin.  Not  only  will  the 
new  schedule  bring  the  East  and 
West  five  hours  closer,  but  the  fast 
trains  will  give  the  traveler  an  ad- 
ditional business  day  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

.\  reduction  in  the  running  time 
between  San  Francisco  and  Chicago 
has  been  one  of  the  main  objectives 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  it 
was  with  gratification  that  the  an- 
nouncement of  the  new  schedule  was 
received.  Representatives  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  will  take  part 
in  the  ceremony  incident  to  the  de- 
parture of  the  new  fast  train. 

I'ntler  the  new  scheilule.  as  now 
planned,  the  famous  Overland  Lim- 
ited will  leave  San  Francisco  at  6 
p.  m.  and  arrive  in  Chicago  at  11 
a.  m.,  a  convenient  time  to  make 
connections  for  the  .\tlantic  Sea- 
board. The  train  will  leave  Oakland 
Pier  at  6:30  p.  m..  arriving  in  Rich- 
mond at  6:47  p.  m.,  Sacramento  at 
9:10  p.  m.,  Reno  at  3:35  a,  m.  and 
Ogden  at  6:35  p.  m. 

On  the  westbound  journey  the  San 
Francisco  Overland  Limited  will 
leave  Chicago  at  8:10  p.  m.,  permit- 
ting easy  connections  with  the  fast 
trains  from  the  East,  and  will  arrive 
in  San  Francisco  at  9:10  a.  m.,  giving 
the  business  man  and  tourist  an  extra 
full  day  to  enjoy  Western  attrac- 
tions. It  will  arrive  in  Ogden  at 
10:30  a.  m.,  Reno  at  11:55  p.  m.  and 
.Sacramento  at  6  a.  m.

San  Francisco  -  Hawaii 

Travel  is  Greatest 

in  History 

By  ARTHUR  E.  BIXBY 

Publicity    Director, 

Matson   Navigation    Company 

;=-^|HE  Miitsoti  Line  is  not 
:ilone  proud  of  the  part 
it  plays  in  San  Fran- 
risco's  business  and  com- 
iiurcial  life,  but  takes 
|iridp  in  its  participation 
ill  till  \vi  ll-iiitrited  growth  of  tourist 
travel  from  San  Francisco  to  those 
islands  of  magic  beauty  2091  sea 
miles  southwest  from  the  Golden 
Gate. 

San  Francisco,  affording  the  short- 
est route  by  2(10  miles  from  the  Coast 
to  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  is  the  log- 
ical Pacific  Ocean  gateway  to  Cali- 
fornia, as  well  as  to  Hawaii,  the 
South  Seas,  Australia  and  the  Orient. 
Travel  from  the  mainland  United 
States  to  Hawaii  has  grown  at  the 
rate  of  20  per  cent  increase  annually 
for  the  last  three  years. 

For  more  than  forty  years,  since 
the  late  Captain  William  Matson 
founded  the  Matson  Uine  in  1882  with 
a  200-ton  schooner,  the  little  FZmlna 
Claudina,  the  Matson  Navigation 
Company  has  served  both  San  Fran- 
cisco and  Hawaii. 

Matson  Line  Serves  Hawaii 

As  Hawaii's  commerce  has  grown, 
bringing  with  it  a  tremendous  devel- 
opment in  the  production  of  raw 
sugar  and  canned  pineapples — the 
1925  sugar  crop  was  776,072  tons  and 
the  canned  pineapple  pack  8,728,580 
cases — so  has  the  Matson  Line  kept 
pace  by  furnishing  adequate  freight 
tonnage  to  move  these  products  to 
San  Francisco.  Most  of  Hawaii's 
raw  sugar  is  refined  at  two  refin- 
eries on  San  Francisco  Bay — Crock- 
ett and  Western.  The  majority  of 
the  pineapples  come  here  for  trans- 
shipment by  rail  and  water  all  over 
the  mainland  Inited  States  and 
throughout  the  world.  The  Matson 
Line  now  has  a  total  of  eighteen 
ships  in  service  to  the  Hawaiian 
Islands  exclusively — the  largest  pri- 
vately owned  .\merlcan  tonnage  on 
the  Pacific. 

Willi  the  development  of  Hawaii's 
tourist  travel,  the  Matson  Line  has 
provided  adequate  steamer  facilities 
until  now  it  has  five  passenger  ships 
in  service,  four  from  San  Francisco, 
with  a  sailing  every  Wednesday  to 
Honolulu. 

Travel  Necessitates  New  Ship 

This  pa,sscnger  fleet,  however,  is 
now  insufficient  to  handle  the  steadi- 
ly growing  volume  of  travel  to  Ha- 


waii. To  give  adequate  and  faster 
service  the  Matson  Line  is  now 
building  at  the  Cramp  Shipyard, 
Philadelphia,  the  S.S.  Malolo,  fastest 
and  largest  high-powered  passenger 
liner  ever  built  to  date  in  an  Ameri- 
can shipyard.  The  Malolo  was 
launched  last  summer,  and  will  be  in 
service  next  June,  carrying  650  pas- 
sengers, all  first-class,  from  San 
Francisco  to  Honolulu  in  four  and

in  thi>  air  before  very  lonK  and  it  has 
the  promise  of  heing  a  most  slrikinK 
and  important  transportation  fea- 
ture. 

It  may  be  definitely  iiredieted  that 
aero  transportation  on  a  dependable 
basis  and  at  reasonable  rales  is  not 
far  from  beinK  a  rertainly.  .Some 
Paeifie  Coast  city — and  it  may  as 
well  be  San  Diego  or  Stockton  as  San 
Fraiuiseo  or  I.os  .\ngeles — is  to  be 
the  aero  transportation  renter  of  the 
West,  perhajis  of  the  country.  II  will 
be  the  city  which  definitely  sindies 
all  phases  of  this  progress  factor  and 
ads  quickly  and  steps  in  ahead  of 
any  other  city.  This  action  nnisl  be 
lemiiered.  of  course,  bv  a  knowledge 
of  what  is  desirable  and  what  is  fool- 
ish, but  it  must  not  be  irresolnle  or 
dallying,  for  our  everyday  flying 
speed  has  been  advanced  from  forty 
miles  to  a  hundred  miles  an  hour, 
and  general  aero  progress  has  gone 
ahead  accordingly. 

San  Francisco  was  the  first  city  in 
the  West  where  air  trips  were  made, 
and  no  other  city  in  the  world  has 
given  such  continued  support  to 
aeronautical  ideas,  especially  in  a 
financial  way.  Us  aero  outlook  is 
today  in  the  han<ls  of  far-seeing  men, 
and  the  business  man  of  San  Fran- 
cisco need  not  fear  that  his  city  will 
take  a  backward  or  ill-advised  atti- 
tude. It  is  far  in  advance  of  any 
other  Pacific  Coast  city,  excepting 
perhaps  San  Diego,  in  its  considera- 
tion (if  an  aircraft  center  and  ter- 
minal point,  and  it  has  a  more  per- 
|)lexing  problem  in  providing  a  pub- 
lie  aero  jiark  than  any  other  Western 
city. 

I  use  the  designation  of  "aero 
park"  because  "aviation  landing 
field"  is  about  obsolete  as  applied  to 
any  city.  I.an<ling  fields  are  for  use 
in  the  country,  where  airplanes  must 
come  down  in  case  of  emergency, 
and  in  view  of  the  rapidly  improving 
certainty  of  operation  of  airplanes 
these  will  not  be  nee(le<l  in  a  few 
years.  ".\ero  park"  designates  more 
exactly  what  a  city  must  provide. 
The  artificial  aero  park,  such  as  has 
been  proposed  for  Chicago  by  liion 
,1.  Arnold,  placed  almost  in  the  center 
of  the  business  and  jobbing  part  of 
a  city,  is  being  given  consideration. 
While  expensive,  it  may  be  devel- 
oped to  a  practical  jioint  that  will 
solve  a  difficult  question. 

With  the  co-operation  arranged 
between  Stanford  University  and  the 
Daniel  Guggenheim  Aero  Foundation 
some  of  the  greatest  obstacles  to  air 
travel  should  be  overcome  at  or  in 
the  vicinity  of  San  Francisco.  The 
San  Francisco  office  of  the  United 
States  Weather  Bureau  is  exception- 
ally well  equipped  in  per.sonnel  and 
accumulated  data  for  attacking  prob- 
lems in  aerology.  These  are  impor- 
tant phases  of  possible  encourage- 
ment to  aero  concerns  to  make  head- 
quarters on  San  F"rancisco  Bay. 

Some  day  we  shall  see  in  America 
a  great  annual  air  regatta  which  will 


be  attended  from  all  jiarts  of  the 
world  and  which  will  be  greater  in 
its  way  than  any  derby  or  automo- 
bile classic.  The  ideal  site  in  every 
way  for  this  is  the  (ireat  Bay  at  San 
Francisco.  Here  is  a  course  which 
is  adequate  for  any  number  of  par- 
ticipants flying  at  2(1(1  or  liOO  miles 
an  hour  ami  for  any  desireil  distance. 
Here,  in  the  Northern  California  In- 
dian summer  is  a  certainty  of  clear 
and  windfree  climate,  perfect  in 
every  respect.  Here  is  a  location 
where  thousands  of  persons  may  line 
the  shores  as  they  cannot  elsewhere 
with  iierfect  view  in  perfect  safety. 
When  the  great  .\merican  air  regatta 
is  projected  it  will  be  the  greatest 
sporting  event  the  world  can  im- 
agine, and  to  give  it  a  perfect  setting 
and  an  adequate  and  worldwide  im- 
portance it  should  be  brought  to  .San 
F'rancisco.

opened  February  1.  l'.»27.  will  he  one 
of  the  world's  finest  t(mrist  resorts. 
This  splendid  structure  will  be  sur- 
rounded by  a  fifteen-acre  park  of

The  Matson  Line  recently  acquired 
the  Oceanic  l.ine.  The  Oceanic 
.Steamshi])  Company  has  three  pas- 
senyer  ship.s — the  S.S.  Sonoma,  Ven- 
tura and  Sierra — sailing  every  three 
weeks  from  San  Francisco  for  Hono- 
lulu, Pago-Pago  (American  Samoa), 
Suva  (Fiji),  and  Sydney,  Australia. 
Every  effort  will  be  made  to  improve 
and  enlarge  this  service. 

hi  February  of  this  year  the  Mat- 
son  l.ine  observed  the  twenty-fifth 
anniversary  of  its  incorjjoration. 
C:iplain  William  Matson.  its  founder, 
was  a  friend  both  of  Hawaii  and 
of  .San  Francisco.  He  lived  here  and 
look  an  active  part  in  civic  and  com- 
mercial affairs.  He  died  here  on  Oc- 
tober 11.  1917. 

"Through  the  sagacity  and  fore- 
sight of  its  founder,  the  Matson  Line 
has  expanded  to  meet  the  demand  for 
transportation  caused  by  the  devel- 
opment of  Hawaii,"  recently  said  E. 
1).  Tcnney  of  Honolulu  and  San 
Francisco,  its  jiresident.  "It  has  al- 
ways been  the  unwritten  rule  of  the 
company  to  give  to  the  extent  of  its 
ability  efficient  an<l  courteous  serv- 
ice to  all  its  patrons.  I  attribute  a 
large  share  of  our  prosperity  to  the 
goodwill  of  our  patrons,  which  is 
our  most  prized  possession  and 
which  we  will  use  every  effort  to  re- 
tain." 

Hawaii  Is  Waiting  for  You 

Hawaii  extends  to  you  her  warjn- 
est  Aloha,  and  when  ,vou  go  there 
yon  will  be  welcomed  with  fragrant 
flower  leis  and  music.  Honolulu  is 
a  modern  .\merican  city,  with  every 
comfort  and  convenience,  yet  with 
a  charm  and  romance  which  will 
never  die,  and  a  setting  of  surpassing 
loveliness.  Hawaii  is  only  five  and 
one-half  days  from  .San  Francisco 
now,  and,  with  the  Malolo — the  Pa- 
cific's finest  ship — in  service  next 
summer,  the  time  will  be  shortened 
to  four  and  one-half  days.  In  con- 
junction with  the  new  overland  train 
schedules,  which  reduce  the  running 
time  from  Chicago  to  San  Francisco 
to  sixty-three  hours,  the  Malolo  will 
bring  Honolulu  within  seven  days  of 
(Chicago  and  eight  of  New  York, 
bringing  to  San  Francisco  and  Ha- 
waii a  class  of  travel  which  lias  here- 
tofore gone  to  Europe,  Bermuda, 
Florida  or  elsewhere  becau.sc  the  isl- 
ands were  "too  far  away." 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS.  NOVEMBER  10. 1926 


The  Much-Discussed 
Queen 

ARIE,  Queen  of  Rumania. 
;iii(l  her  distinguished 
traveling  companions 
jif  homeward  bound. 
San  Francisco  and,  for 
that  matter,  all  of  Cali- 
d  the  opportunity  of  en- 
tertaining them.  This  was  unfortu- 
nate, as  it  is  not  entirely  imiirobahlc 
that  Her  Majesty  might  have  found 
here  some  measure  of  charm  to  as- 
suage tlie  distress  of  a  somewhat 
turbulent   tour. 

There  was  a  time  when  it  was  be- 
lieved definitely  assured  that  Queen 
Marie  was  coming  here.  This  im- 
pression Was  based  upon  her  ac- 
ceptance of  Mayor  Rolph's  very  cor- 
dial invitation.  But  difficulties  of  a 
financial  nature  intervened  and  Her 
Majesty,  either  personally  or  through 
one  of  her  many  representatives, 
%Vithdrew  her  acceptance. 

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  in  co-operation  with  the 
mayor,  had  prepared  to  particii)ate 
in  a  program  of  entertainment  which 
would  have  been  appropriate  to  the 
great  prominence  of  the  expected 
visitor — a  program  that  might  have 
attested  the  fullness  of  our  city's  ex- 
perience as  a  hostess  to  royalty.  But, 
beyond  that,  it  was  not  considered 
Iiroper  or  within  the  province  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  to  divert 
funds  that  had  been  allocated  to 
more  practical,  if  less  interesting, 
projects. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  regrets 
the  circumstances  that  deprived  this 
community  of  the  pleasure  and 
honor  of  welcoming  a  much  heralded 
guest.  San  Francisco  and  all  of  Cali- 
fornia, however,  may  find  some  sol- 
ace in  the  thought  that  the  loss  is  not 
entireh  our  own.

ates on  the  theory  that 
his  time  is  worth  money. 
I  111  icfcire  he  doesn't  waste  it.  A  few 
days  ago  he  produced  a  schedule — a 
sort  of  time  table — to  be  observed  by 
all  and  sundry  who  call  at  his  office. 
Mr.  Oulfer's  time  table  is  as  follows; 
Friendly  Cjlls — No  hours,  two  min- 
utes, one  second. 
Friendly  Call  When  Busy — No  hours, 

one  minute,  one  second. 
Agents — No  liours,  no  minutes,  one 

second. 
Friends  With  Schemes — No  hours,  no 

minutes,  five  seconds. 
Friends    With    Schemes,    Willing    to 


Take  Partner  in  on  Ground  Floor 
— No  hours,  no  minutes,  no  sec- 
onds. 

Friends  With  Liquid  Refreshments 
— Hours,  minutes  and  seconds  left 
blank,  to  be  filled  in  as  desired. 

Friends  With   Invitations  to  Lunch- 


eon— No  hours,  fifty-nine  minutes, 
no  seconds. 
Those  Wishing  to  Pay  Old  Bills— 
Fifty-eight  hours,  fifty-nine  min-

oAn  InduSlrial  Location 

combining    unique    advantages    possessed    by    no   other 
property  in  San   Francisco. 

An  island  block,  conveniently  located  on  the  main 
artery  of  traffic  to  and  from  San  Francisco  at  an  inter- 
section where  motor  cars  pass  in  constantly  increasing 
thousands,   the   advertising   possibilities   are   enormous. 

Over  750  feet  of  street  frontage  affords  ready  access 
to  any  part  of  the  entire  parcel,  and  a  spur  track  ac- 
commodating five  cars  is  readily  available.  Ground  area 
nearly  45,000  square  feet;  foundation  firm  and  level.  An 
ideal  location  for  manufacturing  or  warehouse  purposes, 
especially  for  an  advertiser. 

There  is  no  other  industrial  site  like  it  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. The  sale  price  is  reasonable,  considerably  less 
than  the  price  asked  for  many  parcels  possessing  far  less 
merit,  or  the  owner  will  lease  and  build  to  suit.  Bear  in 
mind  the  fact  that  there  is  no  better  investment  and  no 
safer  speculation  than  San  Francisco  industrial  prop- 
erty, and

In  painting  the  vaulted  ceilings, 
columns,  piers,  bases,  platforms,  as 
well  as  the  au<litoriuni  of  the  thea- 
ter, 5,800  pounds  of  lam])  black,  o'- 
tons  of  white  lead  and  d'j  tons  of 
eraftcx  were  necessary.  Thirty-six 
scenic  artists,  working  in  three 
eight-hour  shifts  for  twenty-two 
days,  were  necessary  to  finish  their 
work  in  schedule  time. 

The  electrical  equipment  for  "The 
Miracle"  exceeds  any  heretofore  cm- 
liloyed  in  any  stage  production 
known  to  the  world.  Due  to  the 
peculiar  design  of  the  setting,  the 
permanent  Civic  Auditorium  electri- 
cal equipment  can  not  be  used.  Si)e- 
cial  apparatus  must  be  designed  and 
installed. 

Twenty-two  and  one-half  miles  of 
cable  of  various  sizes  are  required 
to  conduct  electric  current  to  the 
myriad  lights.  The  setting  is  illumi- 
nated from  lamps  concealed  in  col- 
umns and  between  the  banners  on 
balcony  rails.  Besides  the  enormous 
switchboard,  12  portable  switch- 
boards are  required  to  control  the 
4-111  high-powered  spot  lamps  and 
l.jllil  star  lamps.  There  are,  besides. 
,)10  electric  candles  on  individual 
switches.  The  chief  electrician  sits 
in  the  gallery  and  directs  the  light- 
ing by  telephone. 

A  rotary  switch,  operated  by  a 
motor,  will  turn  on  and  off  the  120 
stereojjticon  lamps,  individually,  col- 
lectively or  in  units. 

There  are  3,018  different  proper- 
tics,  ranging  from  cathedral  chimes 
to  a  bishop's  crozier.  The  heaviest 
of  the  bells  is  of  bronze  and  weighs 
in  excess  of  1,000  pounds. 

The  number  of  people  daily  em- 
ployed in  producing  "The  Miracle" 
is  in  excess  of  900,  and  over  COO  are 
required   for  its  performance. 

The  average  weekly  pay  roll  for 
labor  and  material  during  the  first 
construction  of  "The  Miracle"  was 
in  excess  of  .¥40,000.  Cables  and 
wireless  messages  costing  in  excess 
of  .$15,000  were  employed  in  nego- 
tiating with  artists,  authors,  musi- 
cians and  makers  of  theatrical  prop- 
erties.

Time  Saving 

IN  THIS  DAY  of  unusual  competitions,  it  might  be  interest-       ^T^^^ 
ing  to  stage  a  hand-drying  contest.  If  such  a  contest  were      fl  ■ 

staged  it  would  be  found  that  those  who  used   PUBLIC      ^^^^^ 
SERVICE  Towels  would  win  hands  down. 

In  a  recent  test  it  took  about  half  the  time  to  dry  the  hands  on  PUBLIC 
SERVICE  Towels  that  it  took  to  dry  them  on  towels  with  less  merit. 
To  be  exact:  The  time  was  18  seconds  against  35  seconds — 17  seconds  saved. 
Seventeen  seconds  isn't  much  in  itself,  but  when  multiplied  by  the  number 
of  persons  who  visit  the  washroom  it  becomes  quite  a  factor.  It  actually 
means  a  saving  of  eighteen  hours  on  a  case  of  towels,  which,  multiplied  by 
SO  cents  an  hour — few  men's  time  is  worth  less— would  be  $9,  or  more 
than  PUBLIC  SERVICE  Towels  cost. 
This  is  only  one  reason  why  it  pays  to  buy  PUBLIC  SERVICE  Towels. 


The  paper  towel  is  a 
washroom  necessity 
and  PUBLIC  SERVICE 
Towels  in  their  attrac- 
tive cabinets  render 
ideal  towel  service. 
They  are  sanitary  for 
they  are  made  clean 
and  kept  clean,  and 
they  are  economical 
because  their  strength 
and  absorbency  en- 
ables each  one  to  give 
satisfactory  towel  ser- 
vice. Economy  is  forced 
on  the  user  by  the 
cabinet,  which  dis- 
penses just  one  towel 
at  a  time. 


We  will  be  glad  to  have  a  salesman 
call  and  explain  the  many  advantages 
that  PUBLIC  SERVICE  Towels 
offer   if  you'll  just  say  the  word.

With  adoption  of  the  Ba.soline  tax 
measure  it  would  have  had  a  con- 
tract well  untler  way  within  a  year 
and  is  still  prepared  for  this  proKram 
should  the  Legislature  provitle  the 
funds. 

With  the  construction  of  ahout  a 
mile  of  roadway  from  the  southerly 
terminus  of  the  graded  five-mile 
.stretch  to  Peninsula  .\venue,  Hur- 
lingaine.  and  the  closing  of  the  gai) 
hetween  San  Francisco  city  limits 
and  South  San  Francisco,  a  ten-mile 
section  of  the  Bayshorc  route  would 
he  ready  which  would  split  a  large 
percentage  of  the  jircscnt  congested 
peninsula  traffic. 

.Next  would  come  construction  of 
the  ten  miles  hetween  ISurlingame 
and  Beilwood  City,  and  then  the  2S 
miles  from  Hedwooil  (aly  to  San 
Jose. 

Entire  Route  Surveyed 

From  San  Francisco  to  San  Jose 
the  entire  mute  has  been  surveyed. 
The  five-mile  stretch  that  has  been 
graded  was  undertaken  first  because 
of  the  nature  of  the  .soil,  which  re- 
quired a  long  time  for  fills  to  settle. 

The  unileri)ass  at  South  -San  Fran- 
cisco constitutes  one  of  the  biggest 
grade-crossing  elimination  jobs  in 
the  state.  It  will  take  motor  vehieli' 
traffic  under  the  main  line  railroad 
tracks  whereas  on  the  old  Bayshorc 
Highway  traffic  makes  a  dangerous 
grade  crossing  about  midway  be- 
tween South  San  Francisco  and  San 
Bruno  and  then  crosses  back  again 
at  San  Bruno. 

The  city  limits  to  South  San  Fran- 
cisco section  will  constitute  another 
difficult  section  of  work  in  building 
a  roadway  of  easy  grades  and  high 
alignment.  More  than  ,')0n,noO  cubic 
yards  of  earth  will  have  to  be  re- 
moved. 

Within  .San  Francisco  the  city  en- 
gineer is  making  excellent  progress 
on  this  new  arterial  highway.  Nec- 
essary rights  of  way  are  being  pur- 
eliased  for  the  full  planned  12.")-foot 
width  of  the  road,  and  buying  of 
land  is  being  centered  where  values 
are  most  likely  to  increase.  It  is  the 
hope  of  the  city  engineer's  office  to 
complete  the  first  1. 000  feet  of  the 
road  to  demonstrate  to  the  iiublic 
what  this  highway  will  be  in  terms 
of  modern  construction. 

To  be  built  as  a  commercial  road, 
for  utility  rather  than  scenic  attrac- 
tion, and  as  nearly  as  possible  a 
straight  line  between  two  points,  the 
Bayshorc  Highway, nevertheless,  will 
be  one  of  the  most  attractive  drives 
in  the  state.  Hugging  the  shore  of 
the  bay,  it  will  provide  a  wonderful 
panorama  of  San  Francisco's  great 
harbor,  the  East  Bay  shore  and  the 
San  Mateo  hills. 

For  the  motorist  who  seeks  scenic 
beauty  in  detail,  who  wants  to  enjoy 


ever-changing  vistas  in  every  minute 
of  a  leisurely  drive,  there  will  be  the 
Peninsula  Highway. 

For  the  motorist  who  loves  the 
broad  sweeps  of  nearby  shoreline 
and  distant  mountains,  who  aims  to 
reach  a  destination  for  a  jjicnic  or  an 
outing,  there  will  be  the  Hayshore 
Highway,  the  short  rtmte.  built  to 
bring  our  kitchen  traffic  away  from 
our  front  door,  but  at  the  same  time 
providing  for  the  pleasure  car  a 
highway  of  maximum  speed  with 
safety.  " 

If  the  Legislature  provides  the 
funds  it  will  be  a  matter  of  but  a 
short  time  when  San  Francisco  no 
longer  delivers  its  goods,  by  automo- 
bile at  least,  through  its  front  door.

llie  banquet  will  be  mailed  to  niem- 
hers  of  the  hotel  fraternity  within 
two  weeks  and  the  ensuing  party  is 
expected  to  bring  together  the  great- 
est gathering  of  hotel  men  in  the 
\\  est  since  the  opening  of  tin-  I.os

Formal  Opening  Follows 

The  night  following  the  banquet 
for  the  bonifaces.  the  formal  society 
ojiening  will  be  held,  and  many  spe- 
cial features  are  being  planned  to 
make  this  affair  a  notable  one  in  the

The  Lincoln  is  as  nearly  a  perfect 
motor  car  as  it  is  possible  to  pro- 
duce with  present  mechanical  and 
human  limitations. 

This  distinction  is  the  reward  of 
infinite  care — buildingf  to  an  ideal 
that  knows  no  compromise  with 
quality.     If  there  were   now  any 


known  way  to  make  the  Lincoln 
a  better  automobile,  the  improve- 
Only  with  the  determination  to 
build  the  world's  finest  automo-

personnel  of  the  Ford  Motor  Com- 
pany, is  it  possible  to  produce 
such  a  car  as  the  Lincoln.

CHAMPIONS  of  the  cinder  path  live  and  breathe  these 
three  axioms: 

[1}  start— off  the  mark  like  a  flaflK 
12}  strong,  r>'thmjc  stride 
[3}  powerful,  dashing  finish 

And  the  sprinter  knows  he  must  have  all  three  to  win. 
Likewise,  motor-fuel,  to  give  what  999  out  of  1 000  mo- 
torists want,  must  have  in  perfectly  proportioned  com- 
bination [  1 }  quick  starting  acording  to  seasonal  demands 
[2]  full  measure  of  power  and  [3]  mileage. 

That  is  why  the  999  like  Associated — it  gives  them 
"more  miles  to  the  gallon."  The  secret  of  Associated  per- 
formance is  its  distinctive  chain  or  series  of  boiling  points.

Traffic  Problem  Solution  Near 


Dr.  Miller  McClintock 

Tells  S.F.  Key  Men  of 

Survey's  Progress 

\.\  FHAXCISCO  li:is  ill- 
ready  ifcognizid  thf 
warnins  just  made  by 
Thomas  Edison  that  un- 
less Anieriean  eities  take 
steps  to  solve  the  prob- 
lem of  traffic  congestion  they  will 
soon  find  that  they  have  outgrown 
their  usefulness.  Dr.  Miller  McClin- 
tock, director  of  the  .San  Francisco 
traffic  survey  and  of  the  Albert  Rus- 
sel  Erskinc  Bureau  of  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, told  the  Keymen  organiza- 
tion of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
this  week. 

The  San  Francisco  Survey,  Mc- 
Clintock said,  is  a  move  on  the  part 
of  business  men  working  in  conjunc- 
tion with  public  officials,  to  solve  a 
basic  business  problem  in  a  business- 
like manner.  The  question  of  traf- 
fic congestion  and  street  safety  has 
become  too  pressing  to  be  ignored 
or  to  be  treated  in  a  casual  manner. 
Convenience  and  safety  on  the 
streets  warrant  the  same  careful  con- 
sideration that  is  given  to  other  pub- 
lic engineering  problems.  The 
ground  that  will  be  covered  by  the 
report  of  the  survey  which  will  be 
made  sometime  in  the  spring  was 
outlined  by  Dr.  McClintock.  The  first 
step  will  be  the  preparation  of  a  sim- 
ple, reasonable  code  of  traffic  regu- 
lations for  the  city,  designed  to  ad- 
just many  of  the  difficulties  which 
at  present  exist.  With  such  a  code  in 
existence,  95  per  cent  of  the  people 
can  be  depended  upon  to  do  the  right 
thing  in  traffic. 

The  next  step  will  be  co-operation 
with  |>ublic  officials  in  designing  a 
system  of  traffic  direction  for  the 
reduction  of  congestion.  This  will 
come  through  a  strengthened  and  im- 
proved traffic  division  and  through 
the  moderate  and  rational  use  of 
stop  and  go  signals.  Dr.  McClintock 
praised  the  work  that  the  police  de- 
partment has  done  with  li[nited  fa- 
cilities, and  stated  that  this  aspect 
of  the  survey's  work  would  he  great- 
ly facilitated  by  the  sympathetic  co- 
operation which  the  deiiartment  has 
given.

Mc- 


The  third  step  will  be  the  develop- 
ment of  a  system  of  law  enforcement 
which  will  serve  to  relieve  the  minor 
violator  from  the  iiossibility  of  arbi- 
trary enforcement  or  unnecessary 
inconvenience.  .\t  the  same  time  the 
system  will  make  possible  a  more 
rigid  enforcement  of  the  law  against 
the  malicious  violator. 

The  final  field  of  reeomniendations 
will  be  the  proposal  for  .suitable  ad- 
ministrative luachinery  to  carry  on 
in  the  future  a  sound  and  firm  policy 
regarding  traffic  control.  In  the  near 
future,  the  speaker  stated,  no  large 
city  will  be  without  an  engineering 
staff  devoting  its  entire  time  to  the 
investigation  and  correction  of  traf- 
fic difficulties. 

The  magnitude  of  the  traffic  prob- 
lem in  San  Franci.sco  necessitates  the 
collection  of  a  great  deal  of  data  by 
the  field  force  of  the  survey  before 
specific  recommendation  can  be 
made.  During  the  last  two  months 
special  attention  has  been  given  to 
the  problem  of  signal  location.  .\ 
preliminary  report  on  this  subject 
will  be  made  to  the  public  officials 
within   a   short   time. 

REVENUE  FREIGHT  LOADING 

Hevenue  freight  loading  again 
broke  all  records  the  week  ended  Oc- 
tober 30.  The  total  number  of  cars 
loaded  in  that  week  was  1,216,432 
cars — the  largest  number  of  cars 
loaded  in  any  week  in  the  history  of 
the  railroads,  according  to  the  car 
service  division  of  the  .American 
Hailwa\    Association.

RAILROAD  TAXES  EXCEED 

FOUR  HUNDRED  MILLIONS 

Exceeding  $400,000,000,  the  taxes 
paid  by  railways  this  year  will  be 
the  largest  ever  paid  in  the  history  of 
American  transportation,  according 
to  T.  0.  Edwards,  general  auditor  for 
Southern  Pacific  Company. 

Not  only  are  railroad  taxes  higlur 
during  1926,  but  they  are  increasing 
more  rapidly  than  in  any  previous 
year  with  the  exception  of  1917.  and 
will  exceed  the  dividends  paid  to 
stockholders  in  any  year  with  llu- 
possible  exception  of  1911.

An  Old  Friend 
The  Sloganeer 
With  Us  Again 

An  itinerant  sloganeer 
with  a  careo  of  windshield 
sticlters,  badges,  buttons, 
banners  and  wall  signs 
breezed  in.  deposited  his 
derby     on     our     desk     and

one  end  of  his  mouth. 
•Tried  it  out  in  Chi.  Cincv. 
PhilLv.  Los— works  like  a 
charm!  Goes  over  big. 
Tell    the    world!" 

He  swept  our  desk  clean 
and  littered  it  with  his 
samples.     .Slogans! 

"Just  get  a  good  slogan 
and     then     blast     it!"      He

■Try  and   beat  this  one  for

It  would  have  fitted  on  any 
tandard  size  v.indshield. 
t  was  red.  On  it  were  the

in  Webster's  New  Interna-

word    appeared    in    the   No-

calling  us  down.  We  looked 
the  word  up  and  found  that 
the  young  lady  was  right. 
And  that  isn't  all.  either.

tions for  October  as  follows:  Im- 
ports, £111.014.000:  exports.  £53,177.- 
000.  and  re-exports.  £10..301.000.  The 
figures  represent  substantial  in- 
creases in  all  three  divisions  of  the 
trade  over  the  .Septendjer  returns. 

BELGIUM 

Drastic  internal  regulations  in  con- 
nection with  the  stabilization  of  the 
Belgian  currency  have  included 
forced  (piolations  of  the  internal 
debt,  the  removal  of  the  railways 
from  slate  control  and  the  complete 
balancing  of  the  budget,  which  were 
introduced  to  gain  the  support  of  for- 
eign banks  ajid  to  facilitate  the  flota- 
tion of  the  $1(10.11110,000  international 
loan.  In  this  way  a  basis  has  been 
obtained  for  fundamental  strength- 
ening of  the  Belgian  international 
position  which,  it  is  believed  in  Bel- 
gium, should  mean  ultimate  complete 
economic  prosperity.  The  position 
of  the  national  bank  is  greatly  im- 
proved as  a  result  of  the  interna- 
tional loan  and  large  reserves  of  gold 
and  gold  exchange  have  been  estab- 
lished. The  money  market  has  eased 
decidedly  as  a  result  of  repatriation 
of  capital  and  the  stock  market  has 
become  active  and  strong. 

THE  NETHERLANDS 
The  improvement  in  Dutch  busi- 
ness noted  in  September  was  main- 
tained during  October.  In  spite  of 
exceptionally  heavy  issues  of  stocks, 
there  remain  large  amounts  of  capi- 


Itiiiucd  from  poBf ' 
lal  available  for  investment.  Al- 
though interest  rates  have  increased 
somewhat  they  still  remain  low.  The 
stock  exchange  is  somewhat  weaker, 
owing  lo  higher  rales,  unfavorable 
developments  in  the  rayon  market 
and  liciuidalion  of  Hoyal  Dutch 
shares  by  French  holders. 
GERMANY 
The  month  of  Oclober  witnessed 
further  progress  in  the  German  busi- 
ness situation,  although  the  relative- 
ly low  purchasing  power  of  the  peo- 
ple reduced  retail  sales  during  Ihe 
last  few  days  of  Ihe  month.  German 
iiuhislriis  are  still  making  a  favor- 
able showing:  iri>n  anil  steel  produc- 
tion is  25  per  cent  higher  than  last 
year.and  Bulir  coal  stocks  arc  ahnost 
exhausted.  Textile  mills  are  also  in- 
creasing their  production. 

ITALY 

Italian  business  circles  arc  feeling 
consi<lerable  ease  over  the  lalcsl 
measure  of  the  government,  and  the 
former  oi)inions  which  were  held  in 
many  circles  regariling  the  hastiness 
of  Ihe  present  extensive  economic  re- 
form program  are  being  abandoned. 
Present  expectations  arc  thai  money 
will  flow  easier  for  commercial  en- 
terprises and  the  operation  of  Italian 
industries.  Iluis  relieving  Ihe  credit 
stringency  occasioned  by  Ihe  drastic 
policies  inslilulcil  hv  the  Bank  of 
Italv, 

FINLAND 

Conditions  prevailing  in  Ihe  ex- 
port indusli'ies  continue  favorable. 
The  money  market  remains  un- 
changed and  is  characterized  by  easi- 
ness. The  foreign  trade  balance  for 
the  month  of  .Seplember  clo.seil  with 
an  export  surplus  amounting  to  109,- 
800,000  marks, 

RUMANIA 

.\  nund)er  of  factors  have  com- 
bined during  the  last  month  lo  exert 
a  cumulative  adverse  effect  upon  the 
export  of  Bumania's  principal  com- 
modities, i.e.,  grain,  hnnher  and  pe- 
troleum products,  .Scarcity  of  money 
and  curlailmeni  of  credit  facililies 
by  the  National  Baid<  and  private 
banking  ijisliUitions,  and  Ihe  report- 
ed inadeipiacy  of  the  lUnnanian  rail- 
road transportation  for  the  task  of 
moving  large  quantities  of  freight, 
have  had  the  greatest  retarding  effect 
upon  export  shipments, 
JAPAN 

The  recent  agitation  in  tlu-  ,lapan- 
cse  silk  market,  caused  by  the  slump 
in  the  price  of  raw  silk,  has  been 
somewhat  relieved  by  a  loan  from 
the  Bank  of  .lapan.  Production  will 
be  reduced  also,  as  the  filatures  are 
to  be  closed  from  December  18  to 
December  31,  inclusive. 
CHINA 

The  outstanding  event  of  the  week 
ended  November  14  was  the  formal 
announcement  by  the  Peking  govern- 


ment of  Ihe  abrogation  of  Hie  Sino- 
Belgian  treaty.  On  .November  II  the 
.lapanese  legation  in  Peking  also  an- 
nounced the  willingness  of  ils  gov- 
ernment to  enter  into  negotiations 
with  the  Chinese  government  at 
China's  request,  for  a  revision  of  the 
Sino-.Iapanese  .general  treaty  of  1896. 
China's  note  to  .lapan  asked  for  a 
revision  of  this  treaty  on  a  basis  of 
equality.  Business  and  trade  condi- 
tions ill  Norlh  China  are  being  ad- 
versely affected  by  the  coMiniandeer- 
ing  of  considerable  rolling  slock  on 
the  Peking-.Mukden  railway  for  the 
transfer  of  military  aulhiirilies  from 
Mukden  lo  Tientsin,  The  South  Man- 
cburian  railway  is  reporleil  to  have 
experienced  a  successful  half  vear 
ended  September  .30.  1920.  with  27 
per  cent  more  gross  earnings  than 
for  the  same  period  in  1925.  The 
Peking  money  niarkel  is  easier,  ow- 
ing to  the  removal  by  militarists  of 
the  embargo  on  shipments  of  silver 
between  Peking  and  Tientsin.  The 
failure  of  the  Husso-.\sialic  Bank  ha,s 
not  affected  the  silver  market  in 
China  to  any  appreciable  extent. 

PHILIPPINE   ISLANDS 

The  loss  of  life  and  pioperty 
caused  by  the  typhoon  of  November 
5  in  Southern  Luzon  is  estimated  in 
the  Philippines  at  $2,(100,000,  Infor- 
mation concerning  the  effect  of  the 
typhoon  on  crops  is  as  yet  incom- 
plete, but  apparently  the  most  seri- 
ous daiiiiigc  was  the  ileslruction  of 
coconut  plantations,  especially  in  the 
l)rovinces  of  Tayabas  and  l.agiina. 
Southern  Luzon  is  one  of  Ihe  chief 
centers  of  coconut  cultivation  in  the 
Philippines,  Minor  damage  to  the 
growing  sugar  cane  also  is  reported. 
General  business  is  quiet  and  buy- 
ing continues  cautious.  The  abaca 
market  is  firm,  but  with  a  slightly 
downward  tendency.  Production  of 
the  pa.st  week  was  slightly  under  ex- 
l)ectations, 

AUSTRALIA 
The  .\ustralian  Central  Wcaiher 
Bureau  estimates  this  season's  wheat 
crop  at  150.000.000  bushels,  as  com- 
pared with  122,000.000  bushels  for 
the  1925-20  .season,  and  with  104,000,- 
000  bushels  for  1924-25.  Price  ex 
trucks  at  Sydney  has  ikclined  to  5 
shillings  9  pence  per  bushel.  Sydney 
wool  sales  are  bringing  jiriccs 
slightly  below  previous  series,  but  in 
West  .\ustralia  sales  are  firm  at  Oc- 
tober jirices. 

PORTO  RICO 
The  commercial  situation  in  Porto 
Rico  during  the  first  half  of  Novem- 
ber was  slightly  better  than  in  either 
the  preceding  month  or  the  same 
period  of  1925.  Coffee  picking,  which 
began  early  in  October,  continues, 
and  liquidations  should,  it  is  believed 
in  Porto  Rico,  soon  give  additional 
strength  to  the  present  situation,  par- 
ticularly    ill     the     coffee     districts.

HF.CK  payments  during 
the  third  week  of  No-  j 
veniber  were  larger  ! 
than  during  the  pre-  \ 
vious  week,  but  -were  | 
considerably  smaller  than  a 
year  ago,  according  to  the 
weekly  statement  of  the  De- 
partment of  Commerce.  The 
distribution  of  merchandise,  as 
seen  from  car  loadings,  was  at 
a  high  level  for  this  time  of 
the  year,  exceeding  any  week 
of  1925.  but  falling  short  of  re- 
cent weeks.  The  production  of 
bituminous  coal  continued  its 
progressive  increase  and  ex- 
ceeded the  same  week  of  last 
year,  and  the  bee-hive  coke 
output,  while  larger  than  for 
the  previous  week,  declined 
from  a  year  ago.  Lumber  out- 
put declined  from  both  com- 
parative  periods. 

\MioIesale  prices  showed  lit- 
tle change  during  the  third 
week  of  November,  only  wheat 
and  cotton  being  lower  than 
for  the  previous  week.  The

amount  to  ^0,200,000,  while  the 
miscellaneous  leather  goods 
manufacture,  which  we  shall

year's  shipments.  .STU.XST.OOO.  was 
only  20.7  per  cent  under  that  of  last 
year.  Because  of  the  recent  aboli- 
tion of  the  price  yuaranlee  by  (Cana- 
dian millers,  the  buyer  in  the  flour 
trade  hereafter  will  not  be  protected 
from  price  chanties  after  a  contract 
has  been  siKned.  but  all  contracts 
will  be  binding  as  to  both  price  and 
time  of  delivery. 

GREAT  BRITAIN 

The  end  of  the  coal  mininj;  dis- 
pute, which  has  held  up  production 
in  British  industries  for  29  weeks, 
is  believed  in  Englanil  to  have  been 
provided  for  on  November  20  by 
the  action  of  the  delegates'  confer- 
ence of  the  Miners"  Federation  in  au- 
thorizing the  member  union.s  to  ne- 
gotiate for  district  settlements. 
Agreements  so  negotiated  are  to  be 
referred  to  a  later  meeting  of  the 
delegates'  conference  for  review. 
GERMANY 

German  exports  to  the  liiiled 
States  declined  somewhat  iji  value 
during  October.  .Shipments  totaling 
$17,040,000  were  made  during  that 
month,  as  compare<l  with  $19.31)7,000 
in  September.  The  satisfactory  con- 
dition of  government  finances  is 
shown  in  the  value  of  total  receipts 
for  the  first  seven  months  of  the  fis- 
cal year  (April  1  to  Novend)cr  1), 
amounting  to  4,101,000,000  maiks. 
This  fi.gure  represents  a  7  per  cent 
increase  over  the  estimates  for  that 
period.  At  the  middle  of  November 
50  per  cent  of  the  Berlin  stock  ex- 
change quotations  were  above  i)ar. 
The  number  of  baidcruplcies  in  Oc- 
tober rose  slightly,  there  being  498 
reported  as  against  407  in  Seplem- 
Ikt. 

AUSTRIA 

The  end  of  October  .and  tlie  first 
two  weeks  of  November  wei'c  char- 
acterized by  increased  buying,  both 
for  domestic  consumption  and  for 
export  shipment  in  the  following 
lines:  cotton,  wool,  textiles,  ready- 
made  clothing,  shoes,  leather,  elec- 
tro-technical equipment,  and  iron 
and  steel  semi-manufactures.  This 
activity  has  improved  the  industrial, 
as  well  as  the  trade  outlook,  but  a 
shortage  of  ready  cash  and  difficul- 
ties in  making  collections  greatly 
hamper  the  full  development  of  this 
movement.  Bank  commercial  funds, 
however,  were  somewhat  easier  dur- 
ing the  period  under  review,  with 
rates  remaining  unchanged.

ITALY 

Public  subscrii)tion  to  the  new  5 
per  cent  loan  tiuoted  at  875  opened 
on  Novembei-  IS  and  is  scheduled  to 
close  on  .lanuary  18,  1927.  I.ira  p.iy- 
ments  arc  accepted  in  government 
bonds  or  coupons  maturing  .lanuary 
I.  Sub.scriptions  exceeiling  1.000  liie 
may  be  i)aiil  in  three  installmeids, 
the  first  at  the  time  of  subscription. 
the  second  on  April  15,  and  the  third 
and  last  on  .lune  .30.  The  old  bonds 
exijciienceil  a  decline  to  83,  but  later 
recu|)erate<l  and  were  being  ciuoted 
at  SaM).  A  nation-wide  campnign  to 
assure  the  success  of  this  issue  has 
begun. 

SPAIN 

The  new  issue  of  225,000,000  |ie- 
setas  to  be  utilized  in  carrying  out 
the  public  works  program  was 
placed  upon  the  market  on  Novem- 
ber I().  The  outslaniling  fcatuie  of 
this  issue  is  to  be  found  in  the  gov- 
ernment's ajinouncemcnt  that  as  in- 
leresl  rates  are  increasing  it  was 
necessary  to  offer  this  loan  at  5  per 
cent.  Heretofore  the  government  has 
paid  as  high  as  5.25  per  cent  on  short 
lime  ol)ligations,  but  this  is  the  first 
occasion  on  which  the  government 
has  offered  so  high  a  rate  on  its  per- 
manent public  debt.  The  loan  is  tax- 
free. 

I  INLAND 

During  the  last  week  of  Oclober 
the  export  tiade  was  lively,  although 
it  was  hindered  somewhat  by  the  in- 
creased shi|)|)ing  rates  due  to  the 
Biilish  coal  strike,  A  favorable  bal- 
ance, however,  is  expecteil  locally 
for  October,  No  marked  changes  are 
noticeable  in  the  economic  and  fi- 
nancial situations.  Money  continues 
to  be  fairly  easy,  despite  the  sea.sonal 
demands  in  the  money  market  for  the 
repayment  of  exporters'  short  term 
credits  abi'oad. 

The  payment  of  advances  on  next 
year's  sales  relieved  the  slight  strin- 
gency following  these  demands.  The 
labor  market  is  quiet,  despite  the  re- 
duction in  supply  of  work  which 
usually  sets  in  toward  autumn.  Labor 
conditions,  however,  are  considera- 
bly more  favorable  in  this  respect 
lluin  at  tile  same  time  last  year. 

NORWAY 

The  exchange  problem  is  again  of 
outstanding  importance  and  signifi- 
cance in  Norway.  While  it  is  real- 
ized that  the  return  of  the  crown  to 
jjar  will  bring  with  it  additional  eco- 
nomic difficulties  it  is  also  believeil 
in  Norway  that  these  will  be  more 
than  offset  by  the  general  stability 
and  security  which  will  accompany 
the  establishment  of  parity.  Several 
months  ago  a  reduction  in  the  value 
of  the  crown  was  advocated,  but  this 
policy  has  been  abandoned  because 
of  the  iiresent  nearness  of  the  crown 
to  par — within  about  9  per  cent.  The 
export  branches  of  Norwegian  indus- 


try ami  trade  will  be  most  adversely 
affecleil  by  the  further  appreciation 
of  the  crown,  it  is  said.  11  is  the 
I'linsi'Msus  of  local  opinion  that  tlie 
intensification  of  the  existing  busi- 
ness depression  will  be  directly  prii- 
liorlional  to  the  rate  at  which  parity 
is  reached. 

SWEDEN 

(ieneral  economic  conditions  in 
Sweden  continue  satisfactory  and 
ilomeslic  business  activity  is  mod- 
erate. The  money  market  has  re- 
cently become  firmer,  due  to  the  ex- 
portation of  a  considerable  amount 
of  capital  during  recent  months,  the 
appearance  of  an  adverse  trade  bal- 
ance and  because  of  the  pronounced 
demand  for  money  at  the  end  of  each 
year — usually  increased  by  the  ne- 
cessity to  make  tax  payments  in  De- 
ccndjer.  There  has  been  considera- 
ble buying  of  foreign  securities  dur- 
ing the  last  few  months  and  this  has 
caused  the  dollar  exchange  rate  to 
rise.  Price  levels  have  been  rising 
steadily  for  some  time,  due  princi- 
l>ally  In  the  English  coal  strike. 
DENMARK 

Danish  industry  and  agriculture  is 
in  a  very  difficult  ])osition.  The  pro- 
<luction  anil  export  of  agricultural 
products  is  considerably  above  that 
of  a  year  ago,  but  prices  are  corre- 
spondingly lower.  The  marked  price 
ilecline  is  due  to  the  rise  in  the  value 
of  the  Danish  crown,  the  English 
coal  strike,  the  German  tariff  policy, 
English  meal  import  restrictions, 
and,  finally,  to  the  increasing  pro- 
duction of  these  foodstuffs  in  Den- 
mark's foreign  markets.  The  money 
market  is  still  tight,  due  largely  to 
the  credit  restriction  policy  of  the 
Bank  of  Issue. 

PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS 

I'liilippine  business  was  generally 
dull  throughout  October,  chiefly  as 
a  result  of  inactivity  in  the  leading 
import  market,  textiles.  Slight  im- 
provement in  the  trade  has  been 
noti'd  since  the  middle  of  November 
in  retail  sales,  due  to  early  Chri.st- 
mas  buying.  The  islands'  leading  ex- 
port markets  were  quiet  in  general, 
but  firm.  Overproduction  on  the 
cupia  market  was  somewhat  les- 
sened, but  current  arrivals  at  Manila 
are  temjjorarily  heavy,  following  the 
typhoon  damage  in  coconut  areas. 
HAWAII 

Owing  to  improved  crop  piospecis, 
all  Hawaiian  merchants  are  hopeful 
of  increased  business  during  the 
coming  year,  and  plans  are  being 
made  accordingly.  The  presideid  of 
the  Hawaiian  Sugar  Planters'  Asso- 
ciation announced  recently  that  the 
sugar  crop  which  has  just  been  har- 
vested is  a  record  one  for  the  islands. 
Latest  local  estimates  place  the  yield 
at  787,000  short  tons  or  about  11,000 
short  loJis  in  excess  of  last  year's 
crop.

Let  Austin  Build  and  Finance 


REGARDLESS  of  the  size  of 
your  building  project  Austin  de- 
sign and  construction  guarantees  the 
permanent  type  of  commercial  or  in- 
dustrial structure  which  protects  your 
investment. 

Austin  buildings  are  substantial,  the 
best  that  steel,  brick,  and  concrete  can 
create.  In  all  Austin  buildings  you 
are  assured  of  economical  operation 
by  designs  which  provide  unobstructed 
floor  areas,  abundant  daylight  and 
natural  ventilation. 


The  Austin  Method  of  Unit  respon- 
sibility guarantees  under  one  contract 
a  lump  sum  price,  the  date  of  delivery, 
and  the  quality  of  workmanship  and 
material   on    the   completed   structure. 

Yet  Austin  building  service  costs  no 
more.  Over  two  hundred  small  and 
large  industrial  and  commercial  build- 
ings completed  in  California  in  the 
past  three  years  give  evidence  of  what 
Austin's  half  century  of  building  ex- 
perience means. 

Austin  will  finance  or  build  for  lease.

The  Story  of  a 
Man  Who  Thought 

He  Was  Right 
When  He  Wasn't 


By  HENRY  A.  GUILER 


Id  looked  like  a  good    pla 


flAM  BROWNE,  of  Suinuel 
Browne  Conip.iny.  Inc., 
nuinuf.icturer  o  f  nuts 
and  bolts,  sat  in  liis  of- 
fice in  San  Francisco 
and  looked  out  over  the 
bay.  Warm  California  sunshine 
poured  in  through  the  windows  and 
created  a  crepuscular  glow  that 
warmed  his  heart.  The  world  looked 
like  a  good  place  to  live  in.  So  he 
thought.  Feet  on  his  desk  and  a  long 
cigar  between  his  teeth,  lie  puffed 
meditatively.  Thoughts  drifted  to 
his  home  and  family  down  tlic  penin- 
sula. The  home,  tlaough  not  preten- 
tious, was  comfortable  and  well 
adapted  to  his  needs.  He  had  plenty 
of  flowers  and  fruit  trees  in  his  gar- 
den and  from  time  to  time,  when  pos- 
sible, he  basked  under  the  shade  of 
his  own  vine  and  tig  tree  and  told 
the  world  to  go  hang.  Two  cars  sup- 
plied the  family  with  transportation 
to  Carmel,  where  he  had  a  cottage, 
and  where  he  went  for  golf,  swim- 
ming and  other  entertainment  and 
exercise.  His  thoughts  then  turned 
to  his  family.  This  was  composed  of 
a  wife,  son  and  daughter.  His  wife, 
nee  Cabot,  -was  a  member  of  the  P. 


E.  O.,  D.  A.  R.  and  the  Mayflower 
Society.  She  belonged  also  to  a  large 
and  well-known  country  club,  and 
she  naturally  wanted  to  improve  her 
lot.  This,  of  course,  w^ould  be  ex- 
pensive. His  son  would  graduate 
from  college  in  a  couple  of  years,  and 
he  was  not  inexpensive,  either.  Fur- 
thermore, Sam  must  find  some  place 
for  the  boy  to  light  when  he  gradu- 
ated, for  his  future  must  be  carefully 
considered.  The  daughter,  somewhat 
younger,  was  beginning  to  bob  her 
hair  and  to  wear  her  skirts  shorter, 
while  the  bills  therefor  became 
longer.  Sam  must  give  her  a  fair 
start  in  life  and  this  would  he  ex- 
pensive, too.     Sam  and  the  family! 

Sam's  factory  at  Industrial  City 
had  been  fairly  successful.  He  had 
turned  out  and  sold  enough  nuts  and 
bolts  to  keep  his  brood  in  comfort, 
but  not  enough  to  lay  by  much  for  a 
rainy  day  or  to  provide  for  the  ex- 
pansive and  expensive  heights  to 
Which  he  knew  his  family  sought  to 
climb.  Daily  their  demands  upon 
him  were  becoming  more  numerous 
and  more  urgent  and  had  to  be  met  in 
some  way.    The  supposed  autocrat  of 


the  breakfast  table,  but  really  the 
slave  of  the  lamp  for  his  family  to 
scratch,  was  in  a  quandary.  Thought 
Sam,  "Oh  death,  where  is  thy  vic- 
tory! Oh  ambition,  wliere  is  thy 
limit!  What  a  world!  What  a  world!" 
The  serpent  had  entered  his  Eden 
and  the  day  was  utterly  ruined. 
Could  nuts  and  bolts  do  more?  Let's 
see. 

Samuel  Browne's  thoughts  drifted 
back  to  his  business.  He  took  a 
bird's-eye  view  of  liis  factory  and 
found  that,  compared  with  other 
such  factories,  it  was  small  and  its 
turnout  limited.  He  looked  at  his 
distribution  and  saw  that  it  was  es- 
sentially local  and  mostly  within  the 
state.  This  was  confirmed  by  the 
customers'  list  which  bis  stenogra- 
pher brought  him.  His  advertising 
likewise  had  been  local  and  his  sales- 
men traveled  only  tlie  lenglli  and 
breadth  of  the  state.  His  mail  orders 
were  small  almost  to  insignificance. 
His  bookkeeper  advised  him  that  his 
profits,  though  respectable,  had  re- 
mained almost  stationary  for  several 
years.  His  own  unpaid  accounts 
were  few  and  far  between  and  al-

It's  a  Pass!  It's  a  Pass!  It's  a  PASS/ 

By  JOHN  AMES  KEOLGH 


-^^  -^  -^ 


n 


WAS  on  a  Nov<Mnl)<r 
ftcrnoon  in  windswept. 

iliicl<cd  Alaska.  A  man 
.  ;is  sitting  Ijcside  a 
naiins  fire,  .slowly  bnt 
arifully     twisting     the 


<IjmIs 


Outside  tlic  tiny  cabin  a  northern 
5,'ale  was  roaring  its  song  of  triunijjh. 
Kvon  the  falling  snowflalces  seemed 
to  flee  before  its  icy  voice.  A  uinla- 
niiite  had  already  fled  to  the  lee  of 
the  cabin,  and  the  snow  was  slowly 
covering  his  tawny  form. 

The  man  at  the  radio  suddenly 
arose  and  walked  to  the  window. 
"No,  it's  a  little  early,"  he  mused. 
He  hesitated  a  moment  longer  and 
returned  to  try  again. 

A  iniiuite — it  seemed  an  hour — 
passed,  and  then  came  a  voice:  "I5e- 
neath  a  turquoise  sky,  flecked  here 
and  there  by  fleecy  clouds  that  lazily 
billow  upon  a  golden  bed  of  sun- 
beams, these  two  great  varsities  come 
to  do  battle  before  this  assembled 
nuiltitude." 


IT  IS  said  that  the  largest  crowd  ever  to  have  witnessed  a  foot- 
ball game  in  the  United  States  filled  the  Memorial  Stadium  at 
Berkeley  for  this  year's  California-Stanford  classic.  It  is  not 
improbable  that  twenty  times  the  number  of  persons  who  wit- 
nessed the  struggle  tuned  their  radio  receivers  to  catch  the  truly 
remarkable  description  by  Jack  Keough, author  of  the  accompanying 
article.  Millions  "heard"  the  Big  Game — in  the  Orient.  .Maska  and 
the  tropics.  .\s  you  may  have  sought  to  visualize  some  business 
acquaintance  with  whom  you've  talked  by  phone  for  years  and 
never  met.  so  you  may  have  tried  to  picture  the  heavy-set,  middle- 
aged  fellow  with  the  booming  voice  who  yelled  "It's  a  Pass!  It's  a 
PassI"  His  picture  is  shown  above.  When  he's  not  broadcasting 
football  he's  playing  "Big  Brother"  to  the  kids  at  KPO,  and  every 
boy  and  girl  in  the  city  and  the  state  knows  him — by  voice. — Editor. 


The  muscles  of  the  listener  stif- 
fened. With  a  touch  that  was  as 
tender  as  it  was  careful,  he  slowly 
adjusted  the  dials  a  little  finer.  Then, 
once  more,  he  listened,  and  again — 

"This  is  KPO — the  voice  of  San 
Francisco!" 

He  had  it!  He,  away  up  there, 
hundreds  of  miles  from  civilization 


and  his  alma  mater,  for  he  was  a 
California  "grad,"  and  was  going  to 
"attend"  the  traditional  "big  game" 
lu'tween  California  and  .Stanford! 

Then  for  three  hours  he  thrilled 
with  the  hundred  thousand  souls 
who  were  watching  the  game.  He 
heard  their  cheers,  heard  the  bands, 
heard  even  the  singing  of  "All  Hail,

The  voice  that  plays  the  eanie 
Comes  thru  the  air  to  me. 

Music,    yells,    cheers — each    run    and 
turn 
I  can  plainly  hear  and  see. 

The  giant  bowl — the  field  below. 
The     colorful     entrance     of     rival 
teams, 
The  rooters  and  crowds  of  cheerinti

All  to  the  mind's  eye  gleams. 

From    dash    to    flash,    from    ko;iI    (o

I  can  see  those  players  go.

of  snow  was  all  that  could  be  seen 
of  the  malamute,  for  the  storm  of  the 
.Xor'th  had  been  raging  while  he  ^vas 
listening  to  the  game  in  the  sunny 
Southland.  Perhaps  his  eves  dimmed 
a  bit  as  nu'iiioi-ies  flashed  back.  He 
relnnied    l<i    the    fire    and    pondered 


ever  the  game,  and  from  there  his 
mind  wandered  to  the  broadcast — of 
how  such  a  thing  could  be  possible, 
and  of  those  who  were  putting  it 
over.  It  was  then  that  he  sal  down 
and  wrote  a  letter  to  KPO  asking 
just  how  such  a  thing  was  accom- 
plished, ;uid  of  what  is  going  on  be- 
hind the  scenes  during  a  great  game.

lierhaps  there  are  those  right  in  San 
Erancisco  who,  like  this  man  in  the

end  of  the  game,  just  how  it  was  put 
over.

when  llie  announcer  climbed  to  his 
little  glass  cupola  on  the  western 
lim  of  the  California  Memorial  Sta-

in  Alaska  and  countless  thousands 
more  a  word  picture  of  the  big  game,

little  value  without  markets  for  their 
use,  and  Utah  looks  to  the  Pacific 
Coast  as  the  natural  outlet  for  a  con- 
stantly increasing  volume  of  its 
goods.  Coal,  iron,  livestock,  dairy 
products  and  scores  of  other  com- 
modities are  finding  their  way  to 
supply  the  growing  populations  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  States. 

Today  Utah  is  prospering.  The 
nonferrous  metaliferous  mines  are 
crowding  the  capacities  of  the  smelt- 
ers of  the  Salt  Lake  Valley,  the  great- 
est center  for  the  smelting  of  silver, 
lead,  zinc  and  copper  in  the  world. 
The  four  transcontinental  railroads 
serving  Utah  all  report  a  greater 
volume  of  traffic  for  1926  than  in 
any  previous  year.  With  the  regret-

of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the 
United  States  left  San  Franci.sco  la.sl 
Friday  for  Colorado  Springs,  where 
the  sessions  opened  .Monday,  Decem- 
ber G.  Accompanying  them  were 
twelve  delegates  from  Hawaii. 

Representing  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  and  other 
civic  organizations  are  business  and 
industrial  leaders,  including  Clay 
.Miller,  i)resident  of  the  chamber; 
Frederick  J.  Koster,  Wigginton  E. 
Crcetl,  R.  15.  Hale  and  many  others. 

Prior  to  their  departure  repre- 
sentatives from  Hawaii  were  guests 
of  the  board  of  directors  at  their 
regular  luncheon  meeting. 

At  this  meeting  the  local  board 
pledged  its  supijort  in  tin-  movement 
to  secure  the  1927  meeting  of  the 
national  chamber  for  Hawaii. 

The  personnel  of  the  delegation 
leaving  San  Francisco,  in  addition 
to  the  Hawaii  delegates,  follows:

building  activities  in  Salt  Lake,  Og- 
den  and  the  smaller  centers  have 
reached  new  high  points  this  year. 
Utah  not  only  needs  markets;  Utah 
needs  the  money  with  which  to  de- 
velop its  sources  of  raw  materials. 
It  has  been  gratifying  to  note  in  the 
last  few  years  how  Pacific  Coast 
financial  interests  have  sent  in  their 
capital  for  this  development.  As 
Utah  progresses  it  is  certain  that  this 
state  will  find  its  interests  more  and 
more  closely  linked  with  its  Western 
neighbors.

Highway  construction  in  Nevada 
has  served  a  double  purpose.  It  has

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  DECEMBER  8,  1926 


Famous  for  Hotels?  Here's  Another! 


niTUATED  on  the  ciesl  of 
aristocratic  Nob  Hill  in 
San  Francisco  stands  to- 
day tlie  Hotel  Mark 
Hopkins,  its  ai-chitec- 
tural  mass  towering 
above  every  other  building  in  the 
"City  Loved  'Round  the  World." 

And  now  this  monument  of  beauty, 
this  greatest  hotel  achievenienl  of 
our  metropolis,  makes  its  bow  to  a 
waiting  public. 

Exquisite  wonders  in  decoration 
and  furnishings  will  unfohl  them- 
selves to  the  guests  who  wamler 
through  the  beautiful  halls  of  the 
Mark   Hopkins. 

As  one  enters  the  great  hotel 
through  the  main  portals  at  the  cor- 
ner of  California  and  Mason  streets, 
it  is  instinctively  realized  that  the 
Mark  Hopkins  typifies  the  "Hole! 
Beautiful." 

We  wander  through  an  e.\(piisile 
lobby,  feet  sinking  deep  into  the  soft- 
ness of  a  warm-toned  rug  fashioned 
by  peasant  hands  in  far-off  Austria; 
through  a  marble  sunlit  lounge, 
where  stands  the  fountain  by  Edgar 
Walters;  into  Peacock  Court,  a  rev- 
elation in  design  and  coloring. 

It  takes  a  full  day  to  properly  In- 
spect the  Hotel  Mark  Hopkins;  and 
then  one  feels  the  desire  to  lelurn 
and  gaze  again  at  the  magnificence 
of  its  appointments. 

At  the  western  end  of  Peacock 
Court  a  colorful  realistic  painting  by 


By  BUCK  HARRIS 

Ray  Boynton  draws  the  eye  as  like 
a  magnet.  But  we  turn,  and  through 
massive  windows  look  down  on  San 
Francisco,  on  the  roofs  of  the  city's 
skyscraijcrs  and  out  across  the  bay. 

George  D.  Smith,  president  and 
managing  director  of  the  Hotel  Mark 
Hopkins,  and  Will  P.  Taylor  ,lr.,  res- 
ident manager,  are  the  guides  for  our 
lour  of  this  wonder  hostelry. 

Surfeited  with  the  beauty  of  this 
hnmense  dining  room,  so  aptly 
named  Peacock  Court,  after  the  col- 
orful ceiling  decoration  and  the  birds 
in  Ray  Boynton's  mural  painting,  we 
turn  and,  through  giant  doorways, 
enter  the  Room  of  tlie  Dons. 

The  Doom  of  the  Dons!  A  coloiful 
name,  'tis  true,  but  it  would  be  im- 
possible to  discover  a  name  which 
would  do  justice  to  the  sheer  beauty 
of  this  room. 

.\round  the  walls  on  all  sides  are 
nine  massive  mural  panels  by  May- 
nard  Dixon  and  Frank  Van  Sloun. 
I'or  the  first  time  in  the  history  of 
art  in  the  world,  two  great  artists 
have  worked  together,  combiiieil 
their  ideas  and  Interpretations,  and 
produced  nine  masterpieces  which 
will  live  forever. 

Mr.  Smith  explains  that  the  artists 
chanced  upon  a  myth  prevalent  in 
Spain  about  1550  that  California  was 
an  island  in  the  Pacific  peopled  with 
Amazons.  "The  Land  of  Golden 
Dreams"  has  been   made  a  realistic 


decoration  of  everlasting  beauty  by 
the  artists.  Queen  Calafia,  monarch 
of  the  mythical  land,  is  personified 
in  one  panel  of  the  decoration.  She 
was  a  creature  of  gold  and  sunlight, 
wealth  and  abundance,  presiding 
over  a  vigorous  nation  of  supcrwom- 
en.  In  the  murals  by  Dixon  and  Van 
Sloun,  this  theme  of  the  earliest 
"golden  days"  of  California  is  lightly 
woven  into  the  background  of  the 
real  history  of  California. 

We  want  to  linger  in  this  wonder- 
ful art  gallery,  this  Room  of  the 
Dons,  but  our  guides  have  other  sur- 
prises for  us  and  we  leave  the  room 
with  a  promise  to  ourselves  that  we 
will  return  again  soon. 

Passing  through  a  marble  hall  and 
across  the  lobby,  we  come  inlo  the 
Spanish  Room,  its  beamed  and  vault- 
ed celling  giving  one  the  impression 
of  a  medieval  castle.  Then  up  a  few 
stairs  to  the  mezzanine  floor  for  a 
peek  into  the  Students  Room,  wheie 
senior  pupils  from  the  San  Francisco 
.\rt  Institute  have  decorated  the 
walls  wllh  fuluristic  jiaintings  which 
<lellglil    the   eye. 

.-\n<l  here  we  run  into  Vicloi! 

Victor,  who  has  served  more  kings, 
piinces  and  presidents  than  any 
other  chef  de  cuisine! 

Victor,  whose  name  is  familiar  to 
epicures  the  world  over ! 

Here  at  the  Mark  Hopkins,  Victor 
is  assistant  manager  In  charge  of  ca- 
tering. He  invites  us  to  his  office

most  negligible.  So  far  as  Ills  needs 
went,  his  credit  was  good  and  Ills  in- 
tegrity and  lionesty  were  unques- 
tioned. He  could  look  his  hanlicr 
and  his  neighbors  in  the  face  withoul 
a  qualm  of  fear  or  of  conscience.  But 
his  business  was,  and  had  been,  at  a 
standstill.  Thought  he,  ".Not  to  pro- 
gress in  business  is  to  go  behind,  and 
ultimately  to  fail."  .^gain  he  said  to 
himself,  "What  to  do  about  it?" 

inswer    was    not    allogellier 
15ut  he  was  essen- 


tially a  fighter  and  not  (luicUly  dis- 
couraged. His  back  was  to  the  wall 
and  he  was  not  going  to  run  in  the 
face  of  danger.  His  thoughts  revert- 
e<l  to  his  school  days,  where  he 
vaguely  remembered  that  Sir  .lames 
Fitz-,lames,  when  confronted  by  Rod- 
erick I)hu  and  his  minions  on  his 
native  heath,  said; 

"Come  one,  come  all!  this  rock  shall 
fly 
Eroin  its  firm  base  as  soon  as  I." 

It  encouraged  liim  to  think  that 
Roderick  had  come  out  a  |)Oor  second 
in  that  battle.  Therefore,  what  one 
man  could  do  against  such  odds  he 
al.so  would  do.  He  would  be  another 
Leonidas  at  the  Pass  of  Thermoi)ylae. 
-So  he  girded  his  loins  and  set  about 
it  speedily. 

His  first  task  was  to  increase  his 
output  of  Browne  nuts  and  bolts. 
.\ftcr  a  satisfactory  visit  to  his  bank- 
er, where  he  cjbtained   a   large  loan. 


he  soon  saw  his  factory  grow  to  <lou- 
ble  its  size,  equipped  with  machinery 
which  woukl  increase  his  output 
twofold.  He  then  saw  his  advertis- 
ing man,  who  put  on  a  campaign 
throughout  the  I'nitcd  Slates  .so  as 
to  put  the  Browne  nuts  and  bolts  on 
the  map.  Then  he  saw  that  if  his 
advertising  was  going  to  "pull"  he 
nmst  have  his  goods  wheie  his  i)ros- 
pective  customers  would  be  able  to 
get  them  quickly  and  when  needed. 
It  would  never  do  to  try  to  ship  them 
from  his  factory  on  order,  for  that 
would  mean  too  nmch  delay  and 
leave  a  trail  of  unsatisfied  customers 
howling  about  deliveries  and  refu.s- 
ing  to  return  a  second  time  for 
Browne  nuts  anil  bolls.  To  keep 
salesmen  traveling  tliroughont  the 
breadth  of  the   land   would  cost   loo 


nuich  money.  This  had  worked  all 
right  in  the  old  days,  when  national 
distribution  was  not  much  thought 
of  and  when  business  was  mostly 
local.  He  could  not,  with  his  limited 
capital,  i)ut  his  own  retail  agency 
stores  over  the  country,  as  his  prod- 
ucts were  more  or  less  a  specialty 
line.  Furthermore,  this  would  bring 
upon  him  the  competition  and  the 
wrath  of  the  established  dealers,  who 
would  look  upon  him  more  or  less  as 
an  interloper  and  would  try  to  knife 
him.  He  could  not  consign  the  goods 
to  jobbers  and  dealers  on  a  real 
agency  commission  basis,  for  he 
would  then  have  to  carry  them  at  his 
own  expense  and  be  responsible  for 
their  loss  or  destruction  in  transit, 
by  fire,  or  otherwise.  Besides  this, 
the  carrying  charges  would  be  too 
great  for  his  pocketbook  and  he 
would  have  to  wait  several  months 
after  the  goods  were  sold  for  the  re- 
turns to  come  in.  That  system  might 
be  all  right  for  the  big  fellows,  but 
not  for  a  growing  concern  like  his. 
Therefore,  that  was  "out"  also.  l'"ur- 
Ihermore,  he  must  have  capital  to

How  About  "Agencies"? 

Out  of  all  these  cogitations  and  agi- 
tations of  mind,  Sam  tliouglit  of  a 
plan  which  was  most  adapted  to  bis 
needs  and  economically  sound.  His 
goods  were  a  standard  article  in 
which  he  took  a  pride.  They  bad 
stood  the  test,  locally,  of  a  good  many 
years.  They  were  made  of  the  best 
material  and  workmanship  and  he 
could  boast  that,  like  the  old  war 
horse,  when  they  were  called  upon 
to  stand  the  strain,  Ibcy  weie 
"there."  His  plan,  therefoic,  was  to 
establish  a  number  of  what  he  called 
exclusive  "agencies"  in  the  principal 
cities  throughout  the  United  Slates. 
That  is,  he  picked  out  a  jobber  whom 
he  called  an  "agent"  in  these  cities, 
to  whom  be  should  sell  the  goods  at 
a  fair  discount  from  list  piiee.  He 
drew  up  a  contract  with  llie  jobbeis, 
uniform  througbout  the  stales.  In 
these  contracts  he  proviiled  that  Ibe 
jobber  would  pay  for  the  goods  on 
terms  of  .SO  days  net  and  2  pel-  cent 
off  for  cash  in  ten  day.s.  The  jobber 
was  to  have  a  certain  e,\eluslve  ter- 
ritory allotted  to  him  in  wbicli  to 
resell  tbe  goods.  .No  other  jobber 
was  lo  be  permllled  lo  paiiicjpale 
in  tbe  sale  of  Browne  nuls  and  bolls 
in  such  territory,  and  Sam  agreed  not 
to  make  direct  sales  in  these  leiii- 
tories,  all  of  which  were  onlside  the 
State  of  California.  .Sam's  oidy 
thought  on  this  arrangement  wa.s  to 
encourage  tbe  exclusive  "agent"  lo 
push  the  goods  as  much  as  possible. 
In  return  Sam  demanded  an  agree- 
ment on  the  part  of  the  "agent"  not 
to  deal  in  or  sell  tbe  goods  of  Sam's 
competitors.  To  .Sam's  mind  Ibis 
was  only  fair.  Then  came  the  (pies- 
tion  of  jirice.  He  thoughl  that  if  he 
allowed  the  agents  to  sell  at  any 
price  they  chose  this  would  soon 
"take  the  heart  out  of  Ibe  goods" 
and  there  would  be  such  a  price- 
cutting  war  among  them  Ibal  soon 
they  would  be  unable  to  make  any 
profit  and  would  conscciuently  throw 
up  the  agency.  This  "war'"  would 
cause  them  to  cross  over  into  each 
other's  territory,  and  there  would 
be  trouble  all  around,  possibly  re- 
sulting in  ruin  for  himself  anil  his 
business.  So,  in  addition  to  the  ler- 
ritory  and  exclusive  agency  features 
of  the  contract,  Sara  inserted  a  clause 
which  required  the  jobbei-s  lo  sell 
goods  purchased  from  him  at  job- 
bers' list,  fixed  by  himself— no  more 
and  no  less.  On  this  point  Sam  con- 
soled himself  by  the  thought  that  tbe 
price  at  which  tbe  jobber  was  lo 
sell  tbe  dealer  was  not  excessive  but 
was  eminently  fair.  Furtbermore 
the  jobber,  if  let  alone,  might  charge 
the  dealer  a  much  higher  and   veiv 


unfair  price  and  thus  discourage  the 
dealer  from  handling  bis  goods.  In 
so  doing  he  fell  that  be  was  the  jiro- 
Icctor  of  the  dealer  from  the  rapacity 
or  selfishness  of  the  agent. 

Sam  was  not  through  contracting 
yet,  however.  There  was  the  dealer 
to  be  considered,  whose  .selfishness 
might  lead  him  to  charge  the  |)ulilic 
too  much.  He  would  bind  him  down 
also  to  sell  strictly  at  a  fair  retail  list 
price — no  more  and  no  less.  To  en- 
courage him  he  would  give  bini  a  cer- 
tain territory  in  which  to  sell 
Browne's  products.  He  thought  that 
it  would  be  "crowding  Ibe  mourn- 
ers" too  much  to  tie  tbe  dealer  down 
to  sell  only  Browne's  nuts  and  bolts 
and,  at  any  rate,  it  would  be  well- 
nigh  im])ossible  to  police  such  a  sys- 
tem. Besides,  it  might  get  his  com- 
petitors on  edge.  So  be  let  that  alone. 
But  in  all  his  contracts  with  agents 
and  dealers  Sam  notified  them  that 
if  they  did  not  live  up  lo  all  of  tbe 
conditions  and  terms  thereof  be 
would  certainly  cancel  their  con- 
tracts and  refuse  to  deal  with  lliem 
further.  He  told  some  of  them  also 
Ibat  if  they  deviated  from  tbe  sales 
prices  set  by  him  he  would  bring 
action  to  compel  them  to  abi<le  by 
them.  Having  put  this  arrangement 
into  effect  and  signed  everybody  up, 
he  was  all  ready  to  do  business  on 
a  larger  scale. 

For  a  while  his  production  in- 
creased rapidly,  due  to  his  enlaiged 
factory,  and  bis  sales  remained  nor- 
mal. He  piled  up  Browne's  nuls  and 
bolts  on  his  shelves  al  an  alarming 
rate.     Nobody  seemed  lo  want  them 


Free  'Publicity  in  the 
Sgyptian  jkarket 

Advice  has  been  received 
from  tbe  Foreign  Commerce 
Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  tbe  United  States 
that  the  Egyptian  Association 
of  Publication  and  Publicity  is 
issuing  a  complete  directory  in 
Cairo,  Egypt,  and  is  desirous  of 
securing  the  names  of  impor- 
tant American  manufacturers 
who  desire  to  find  a  market  for 
their  products  in  Egypt. 

These  names  will  be  inserted 
free  of  charge  in  their  direc- 
tory, which  is  handled  by  a 
great  number  of  commercial  or- 
ganizations, chambers  of  com- 
merce, as  well  as  by  importers 
seeking  to  make  connections 
with  American  producers. 

Firms  wishing  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  this  offer  should 
send  their  names  to  Mr.  A.  F. 
Assal,  Consul  of  Egypt,  at  the 
Royal  Consulate  of  Egypt,  103 
Park  Avenue,  New  York,  N.  Y. 


outside  of  California.  This  surprised 
him,  for  he  had  thought  nuls  and 
bolts  were  used  elsewhere.  Now  he 
began  lo  doubt  it.  His  carrying 
charges  increased  and  he  thougbt 
that  his  banker  looked  a  bit  askance 
at  him  when  they  met.  His  fauuly 
made  demands  upon  him  which  he 
thought,  for  the  first  time,  were  out- 
rageous. His  manager  and  foreman 
began  to  wonder  how  long  Sam  was 
going  to  be  able  to  stand  the  strain, 
and  bis  men  were  getting  ready  to 
desert  tbe  ship  if  wages  vveie  not 
paid  prom|>tly.  Sam  was  worried  in- 
ternally, but  outwardly  serene  and 
cheerful.  He  kept  repeating  lo  him- 
self: 

"Come  line,  come  all!  this  rock  shall 
fly 
From  it.s  firm  base  as  soon  as  I," 

ajid  it  cluered  him  immensely.  He 
whistled  to  keep  up  his  courage.  But 
be  was  near  the  end  of  bis  rope. 
.\gain  be  said  to  himself,  "What  a 
world,  and  what  lo  do!" 

Things  Begin  to  Happen 

Then,  of  a  sudden,  things  began  lo 
bapjien.  His  agents  began  to  send  in 
orders  for  Browne's  nuls  and  bolls 
from  several  parts  of  the  country. 
These  orders  were  small  al  first,  but 
(bccring.  He  could  sec  signs  Ibat 
bis  adveitising  was  beginning  lo 
"pull,"  .ind  that  bis  sales  efforts 
were  nut  in  vain.  The  silver  lining 
had  appeared  on  the  edge  of  the  dark 
cloud.  Later  on  tbe  orders  began 
gradually  lo  increase  in  volume  until 
a  lime  was  reached  when  they  did  so 
by  leaps  and  bounds  and  tbe  surplus 
piles  of  nuts  and  bolts  were  reduced 
to  nothing,  and  tbe  capacity  of  the 
factory  was  taxed  to  tbe  utmost.  All 
over  tbe  country  people  seemed  lo 
Sam  lo  have  a  mania  for  buying  bis 
products.  The  oi'ders  and  the  money 
began  lo  jiour  in  until  be  was 
swamped  with  bolb.  His  banker  was 
no  longer  lo  be  feared  and  even  took 
him  out  to  lunch  occasionally.  His 
wife  received  a  larger  allowance  and 
began  lo  talk  about  a  costlier  home. 
His  son  wanted  a  new  motor,  and 
his  daughter  discovered  that  silver 
fox  was  in  style.  Sam  was  worried 
again,  not  about  bis  orders.  He  could 
not  keep  up  with  them;  deliveries 
were  now  a  couple  of  months  behind. 
So  he  again  enlarged  his  factory,  but 
even  then  had  some  trouble  meeting 
the  demands  for  Browne's  nuts  and 
bolts. 

These  demands  coutiinied  to  grow, 
and  Sam  Browne  became  a  success- 
ful man. 

Then  suddenly  a  seasonal  slack- 
ness set  in.  Some  of  bis  agents  be- 
gan to  fight  hard  for  orders.  They 
overstepped  each  other's  exclusive 
territory  and  took  orders  away  from 
each  other  wherever  Ibc.v  could  get

New  Industries  and  Sxpansions 


A     WEEKLY     REVIEW 


NEW  INDUSTRIES 

HORACE  HILLS.  INC.,  hns  recent- 
ly opened  sales  offices  at  155  Mont- 
gomery Street,  for  the  distribution 
of  electric  thermostatic  devices 
known  as  "Twinklex  Flashers,"  such 
as  individual  lamp  flashers  for  signs 
and  window  displays.  Products  arc 
now  manufactured  under  contract  in 
Chicago,  but  this  concern  anticiiiates 
within  a  few  months  having  a  fac- 
tory here  for  the  manufacture  of  its 
products.  This  concern  is  building 
up  a  nation-wide  business  and  is 
sending  great  quantities  of  its  prod- 
ucts to  the  Orient  and  South  Amer- 
ica. 

GOLDEN  WEST  LITHOGRAPH 
COMPANY  has  recently  been  or- 
ganized, having  leased  the  first 
floor  at  368  Ninth  Street.  This  con- 
cern is  in  the  business  of  lithograph- 
ing stationery. 

EXPANSIONS 

CALIFORNIA  CHEMICAL  COM- 
PANY, manufacturer  of  floor  wax, 
exterminator  for  gophers  and  squir- 
rels and  fumigator  for  poultry 
houses,  has  recently  expanded,  hav- 
ing moved  from  237  Clara  Street  to 
141  Morris  Street.  It  is  anticipated 
this  new  location  will  increase  facili- 
ties 100  per  cent.  This  concern  dis- 
tributes its  products  to  hardware 
and  seed  companies  over  the  West- 
ern States. 

NATIONAL  UPHOLSTERY  SUP- 
PLY COMPANY,  now  located  at  660 
O'Farrell  Street,  is  contemplating  ex- 
panding and  has  leased  the  one-story 
and  mezzanine  solid  concrete  build- 
ing, containing  approximately  7,500 
square  feet,  now  being  constructed 
on  the  west  side  of  Rincon  Street, 
between  Harrison  and  Bryant  streets. 
New  machinery  will  be  installed  at  a 
cost  of  $2,500.  This  concern  is  in 
the  business  of  upholstering  of  all 
kinds,  and  serves  the  local  wholesale 
furniture  makers.  Building  is  ex- 
pected to  be  ready  for  occupancy 
about  January  1.  It  is  anticipated 
this  expansion  will  increase  facilities 
300  per  cent. 

The  growth  of  CURTIS  &  TOMP- 
KINS, well-known  industrial,  engi- 
neering and  analytical  chemists  and 
surveyors  of  vegetable  oil  cargoes,  is 
reflected  in  the  extensive  quarters 
which  are  now  being  built  for  them 
on  Front  Street,  near  California.  Just 
around  the  corner,  on  California 
and  Front  streets,  the  original  found- 
ers of  this  institution  installed  their 
first  equipment  in  Commercial  Block 
in  1878,  where  they  remained  during 
the  thirty  years  prior  to  the  fire  of 
1906. 


The  two  stories  and  basement  of 
the  new  Front  Street  quarters  will 
be  larger  and  better  lighted  than 
their  present  location  at  331  Califor- 
nia Street,  and  will  be  sufficient  to 
care  for  the  new  equipment  to  be 
installed.  Chemistry  and  scientific 
sami)ling  and  surveying  have  become 
an  inseparable  part  in  industrial  life 
and  transactions,  and  so  largely  en- 
ter into  export  and  imjjort  business, 
that  Curtis  &  Tompkins'  expansion  is 
in  keeping  with  the  growing  demand 
for  their  services  in  our  rapidly  de- 
veloping industries. 

It  is  expected  this  building  will  be 
ready  for  occupancy  in  the  early 
spring  of  1927. 

PACIFIC  ELECTRIC  MANUFAC- 
TURING COMPANY,  5815  Third 
Street,  manufacturer  of  Pacific  Cir- 
cuit Breaker,  Pacific  Air  Break 
Switches,  high  voltage  switch  gear, 
transformers  and  special  equipment 


for  public  service  corporations,  is 
constructing  a  foundry  on  its  prop- 
erty at  the  above  address,  containing 
approximately  6,250  square  feet,  for 
the  manufacture  of  brass,  copper  and 
bronze  products.  New  electric  fur- 
nace and  other  equipment  necessary 
to  a  foundry  will  be  installed.  It  is 
expected  this  foundry  will  be  in  op- 
eration by  January  15,  1026.  This  is 
the  second  expansion  of  this  concern 
during  the  last  six  months.  This 
concern  also  is  putting  up  a  branch 
factory  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  headquar- 
ters being  in  San  Francisco  at  the 
above  address. 

MAJESTIC  ELECTRIC  APPLI- 
ANCE CO.MPANY,  INC.,  590  Folsom 
Street,  manufacturer  of  electric 
room  heaters,  electric  water  heaters, 
pancake  and  waffle  irons,  dental  and 
surgical  electric  appliances  and  elec- 
tric sterilizers,  is  making  additions 
to  its  factory  which  will  greatly  in- 
crease capacity  and  will  enable  this 
concern  to  handle  job  work  on  the 
following  operations:  punch  or  draw 
press  work,  sheet  metal  work,  spin- 
ning and  lathe  work,  polishing  and 
plating,  and  will  be  in  a  position  to 
manufacture  complete  any  article  us- 
ing the  above  equipment.

he  was  from  jirosperity,  Sam  yet  fell 
satisfied  willi  the  world.  It  was  a 
gooil  plaee  to  live  in  and  had  liealed 
him  well.  The  greater  home  had 
heeome  a  reality,  his  son's  new  <-ar

for  dresses  hecame  still  longer,  while 
the  dresses  thcHiselvcs  beeame  still

and  his  i)ersonal  investments  were 
paying.  For  the  moment  peace 
reigned  and  the  goose  hung  high.  The 
serjjent  had  departed  from  his  E<len. 


Sam  Browne's  secretary  handed 
him  a  card  bearing  the  legend  ".hihn

:iiiil  Hie  :iMent  for  several  diiys  :it- 
leiided  lo  his.  When  he  was  thfoiigli 
there  was  nothing  about  Sam's  busi- 
ness I'chilions  with  his  ngcnt.s  and 
dealers  thai  he  did  not  know.  lie 
tliaiilied  Sam  for  his  courlcsy  and 
lold  him  that  he  would  have  to  elieek 
niatlei's  u|)  among  some  of  the  ageiil.s 
and  dealers  elsewhere.  Sam  told 
him  lo  go  as  far  as  he  liked,  anil  Ihe.v 
parted  with  nmtual  respect  and  |)er- 
soiial  good  will.  Later,  from  time  lo 
lime,  Sam  heard  that  John  I'ogarly 
had  visited  several  of  his  ageiils  and 
dealers,  but,  feeling  secure  in  liis  In- 
nocence, paid  no  further  attention  to 
it.  He  did  not  even  think  of  seeing 
a  lawyer  about  it,  as  his  system  of 
doing  business  seemed  to  him  above 
reproach  and  to  be  the  accepted 
method  among  a  great  many  of  his 
confreres  in  his  own  and  other  lines 
of  business.  "Business  as  usual"  was 
his  motto  and  he  went  strictly  and 
quickly  about  it. 

Several  months  after  the  visit  of 
Kogarty,  special  agent  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, Sam  was  walking  along  the 
street  toward  his  office.  He  was 
greeted  by  aji  old  friend.  "Too  bad, 
Sam;  anything  I  can  do'?" 

"no  about  what?  What's  too  bad?" 

His  friend  looked  distressed. 

"Didn't  you  read  in  the  papers  this 
morning  that  you  had  been  indicted 
along  with  a  lot  of  your  jobbers  for 
consi)iracy  in  restraint  of  interstate 
trade  and  thai  the  fiovernment  had 
also  brought  a  bill  in  equity  against 
yon  all  to  enjoin  you  from  carrying 
out  the  conspiracy  further?" 

.Sam  swallowed  his  heart. 

"N-no!"  he  gasped.  "It  can't  be 
true,  .loe.    Where  did  you  see  it?" 

"In  the  morning  papers.  They  say 
that  bench  warrants  have  been  or- 
dered for  all  the  defendants." 

Sam's  friend  advised  him  to  see  a 
lawyer  at  once. 

Without  hesitation,  Sam  saw  an  at- 
torney and  placed  all  the  facts  before 
him.  The  latter  called  up  the  United 
States  attorney,  whom  he  knew,  and 
inquired  as  to  who  was  handling  the 
case.  He  was  told  that  a  special  as- 
sistant to  the  attorney  general  named 
liichard  Smith  had  the  matter  in 
charge  and  had  lately  come  out  from 
Washington  to  put  it  before  the 
grand  jury  and  to  file  the  hill  in 
equity  in  court.  Sam's  lawyer  told 
Smith  that  it  would  be  unnecessary 
to  serve  the  bench  warrants.  He 
would  produce  Sam  and  the  other 
defendants  at  the  necessary  time.  He 
offered  also  to  file  surety  compaMy 
bonds  for  their  appearance.  This 
was  agreeable  to  Smith,  who  said 
that  he  would  like  to  have  Sam  and 
the  other  defendants  appear  for  ar- 
raignment before  the  court  and  to  fix 
bail  in  one  week. 


SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  DECEMBER  8.  192C 


At  that  time  Sam  and  the  oilier  de- 
fendants appeared,  pleaded  not  «"'">' 
and  were  allowed  by  the  court  ten 
days  in  which  to  change  their  pleas 
and  to  make  any  motion  which  they 
thought  advisable.  The  bonds  were 
also  signed  and  filed.  In  the  mean- 
time the  other  defendants  had  re- 
tained Sam's  attorney. 

To  find  out  just  where  lie  slood, 
Sam  had  another  interview  with  his 
lawyer,  and  answered  many  direct 
and  troublesome  questions  about  his 
system  of  doing  business.  Had  he 
sold  his  goods  to  his  so-called  agents 
or  dealers?  Had  he  sold  them  to  his 
agents  under  an  agreement  that  the 
agents  would  not  deal  with  his  com- 
petitor manufacturers?  Had  he  sold 
them  to  jobbers  and  dealers  undei-  an 
express  agreement  that  they  would 
resell  them  at  prices  fixed  by  Sam? 
Had  he  sold  the  goods  to  jobbers  and 
dealers  under  an  express  or  implied 
agieenient  that  they  would  resell 
them  only  within  certain  territorial 
limits  defined  by  Sam?  Had  he  re- 
fused to  sell  to,  or  cut  off,  jobbers  or 
dealers  because  they  had  not  main- 
tained prices  specified  by  Sam  and 
then  taken  them  back  under  an  ex- 
press or  implied  agreement  that  they 
would  maintain  such  prices  there- 
after? Had  he  refused  to  deal  with 
or  cut  off  his  jobbers  or  dealers  be- 
cause they  sold  outside  the  territo- 
rial limits  set  by  Sam  and  agreed  to 
by  them  and  then  restored  them  to 
his  customers'  list  when  they  prom- 
ised not  to  overstep  the  bounds 
again?  Had  he  refused  to  deal  with 
his  jobbers  or  "agents,"  so  called,  he- 
cause  they  bought  goods  from  com- 
petitors, and  then,  on  their  jiromise 
to  be  good  thereafter,  restored  them 
to  good  standing?  Had  he  refused 
to  deal  with  his  jobbers  and  dealers 
who  sold  to  other  jobbers  and  deal- 
ers who  had  been  cut  off  because  of 
some  infraction  of  his  agreement 
with  them  and  later  taken  them  back 
on  their  promise  not  to  do  so  again? 
Had  he  compelled  his  jobbers  and 
dealers  to  co-operate  with  him  by 
reporting  to  him  cases  where  other 
jobbers  and  dealers  cut  prices,  sold 
out  of  their  territory  or  otherwise 
had  not  lived  up  to  their  agreements 
with  Sam?  Did  he  do  an  interstate 
business  or  sell  his  goods  under  his 
system  outside  the  State  of  Califor- 
nia? Did  he  keep  a  cut-off  list  or 
blacklist  of  those  jobbers  and  deal- 
ers with  whom  he  had  refused  deal- 
ings on  account  of  some  infraction 
of  their  contracts  as  to  prices,  terri- 
tory or  exclusive  dealing?  Did  he 
ciiculale  such  a  list  among  his  gixnl 
jobbers  and  dealers  and  bind  them 
also  not  to  have  any  dealings  with 
such  as  appeared  on  the  cut-off  list? 

To  all  these  questions,  and  more 
also,  Sam  had  regretfully  to  make 
answer  in  the  affirmative.  His  law- 
yer then  asked  him  if  he  had  ever 
heard  of  the  Sherman  Act,  which 
had  been  on  the  statute  books  of  the 
"United  States  since  July  2,  1890?  To 
which  San  answered  that  he  had,  but

Personal  Equation  in  Organizing  Business 


INANCINC.  the  Conmiu-

I'lills  riir  till-  same 
in  tlie  erection  of 
the  riKu'liinery  am\  its  sinootli  upera- 
lioii — in  tile  selection  of  executives, 
the  personnel  of  the  promotion,  ex- 
plcitHtion  and  sales  departments — in 
this  last  ease  the  army  of  volunteer 
canvassers  who  will  do  the  field 
work  in  the  campai^'n  to  be  held 
from  .lanuary  31  to  February  10  next. 
.\iiil.  as  in  every  big  enterprise,  the 
personal  equation  cuts  <1  large  figure, 
particularly  as  regards  the  execu- 
tives. These  are  chosen  not  alone 
for  their  fitness  for  the  special  job, 
hut  also  for  their  personal  influence 
anunig  the  groups  of  their  fellow 
citizens  with  whom  they  are  associ- 
ated (lay  after  day. 

The  organization  for  gathering 
Connnunity  Chest  funds  is  composed 
of  three  |)ractical  branches. 

First  of  all  comes  the  central  com- 
mittee, with  a  membershij)  of  125  of 
the  business  men  and  women  of  San 
Fi'ancisco.  This  committee  will  have 
been  actively  and  continuously  at 
work  for  eight  or  nine  weeks  when 
the  campaign  gets  under  way. 

Its  duly  is  to  handle  all  "prospects" 
listed  as  among  the  larger  donors, 
and  when  the  "Army  of  Mercy"  sal- 
lies forth  on  January  31  its  plans 
will  have  been  so  crystallized  that 
gathering  in  its  quota  will  be  largely 
a  matter  of  routine. 

Next  is  the  second  division,  which 
will  care  for  the  industrial  estab- 
lishments. Any  concer[i  employing 
twenty  or  more  is  listed  as  an  indus- 
trial establishment.  There  are  about 
1,4(10  in  San  Francisco. 

To  .get  effective  results,  the  indus- 
trial establishments  are  grouped  uji- 
dcr  ten  classifications,  with  the  fol- 
lowing placed  in  charge,  because  of 
their  jjeculiar  fitness: 

Public  Utilities— Thomas  F.  De- 
lury. 

Insurance  Brokers— Roy  Ward. 

Banks  and  Investment  Houses — 
Dean  Witter. 

Foodstuffs  Concerns  —  Charles 
Haas. 

Manufacturers— Walter   Haas. 

Iron  and  Steel  Establishments— A. 
DeForcst. 

Retailers— Frank  I.  Turner. 

Builders  and  Building  Material 
Dealers — Francis  Baker. 

Hotels,  Restaurants,  Service  Clubs 
and  Newspapers — Leroy  Linnard. 

Automobiles  and  Automobile  Ac- 
cessory  Dealers— William   Hughson. 

One  can  readily  see  from  this  list 
that  each  executive  has  been  chosen 
for  his  ability  to  "contact"  the  con- 
cerns for  which  he  is  responsible. 

The  detail  work  in  the  industrial 
division  will  be  handled  through  a 
subdivision   of  each  group  into  the 


Uy  I'AUI.  B.  Ml  RI'HY, 

C'iimpaign  Secretary,  Community 

Chest  of  San  Francisco. 

various  lines  of  business  composing 
it.  Each  executive  uses  his  own  best 
judgment  as  to  the  number  and  se- 
lects his  assistants  or  subcommit- 
teemen  for  each  line  of  business. 

Then  the  subcommitteemen  will 
arrange  with  the  head  of  each  con- 
cern for  which  he  is  responsible  to 
appoint  a  "key  man"  in  each  place  to 
handle  the  collections  from  that  es- 
tablishment. 

Altogether  the  industrial  establish- 
ments division  of  the  "Army  of 
Mercy"  will  nund)cr  at  least  l.o.'iO — 
about  I.')(l  executives  and  their  sub- 
commitleemen  and  the  "key  men"  in 
the  I.-IOO  |>lants. 

The  third  phase  of  the  Coinnuinity 
(Sliest  financing  organization  is  geo- 
graphical— an  arrangement  designed 
to  knit  all  of  .San  Francisco  closely 
together  in  the  campaign. 

The  city  is  divided  into  eighteen 
districts.  .\t  the  head  of  each  will  be 
a  colonel.    .\i)pointments  of  colonels

Ihe  entire  population  of 
S;in  Francisco  for  four 
days  was  sci-ved  last

ix  million  meals,"  Kd- 
'wcrc  served  during  l!»2,'i 
on  the  com|)any's  dining  cars,  steam- 
ers and  in  restaurants,  and  Ihe  aver- 
age check  was  approximately  ICi 
cents.  .\s  overhead  expense  on  each 
meal  amounted  to  (i7  cents,  plus  an 
additional  cost  of  54  cents  i)er  i)as- 
senger  for  hauling  the  car,  the  com- 
pan.\'s  only  i)rofit  from  the  transac- 
tion is  gained  out  of  the  definite  ad- 
verlising  value  of  pleased  jialrons. 

"During  the  year  we  used  (i.aOO 
head  of  prime  beef,  237,250  chickens, 
3,:t.'')!),3,52  eggs,  1,045,341  pounds  of 
Iiolatoes.  70,870  gallons  of  cream  and 
$162,120  worth  of  fine  fruits.  Among 
other  items  we  served  was  enough 
coffee  to  overflow  a  307,000-gall(ni 
tank. 

"Latest  type  dining  cars,  such  as 
are  used  on  the  fi3-hour  Overland 
Limited,  cost  approximately  iJal^OOO 
eatii.  The  fixed  charges  for  taxes, 
interest,  maintenance  and  deprecia- 
tion amount  to  about  .$3,450  annually. 
For  each  person  served  the  car  must 
be  hauled  an  average  of  four  and 
one-li,-df  miles." 


thus  far  made,  with  the  nundiers  of 
their  respective  divisions,  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

1,  Harold  Zellerbach;  2,  Philip 
Erbes;  3,  Godfrey  Eacret;  4,  .\rthiM- 
Fenniniore;  5,  Mrs.  Harold  Biuiin;  fl, 
Mrs.  Herbert  A.  Schmidt;  7.  Mrs.  H. 
S.  Kierstcd;  8.  .Mrs.  Lucien  Baer;  9, 
-Mrs.  A.  .1.  Lowrev:  10.  .lohii  P. 
Cleese;  11,  Mrs.  Charles  Hawkins;  12, 
Bvron  C.  Mobbs;  14,  Michael  Filippi: 
15,  E.  C.  Schmieden;  10.  Max  L.  lios- 
enfeld;  17,  Owen  L.  Cibson. 

Each  colonel  appoints  five  majors, 
;ind  e;ich  major  takes  over  a  certain 
section  of  his  colonel's  district.  Each 
major  names  five  captains  and  each 
captain  in  turn  six  lieutenants.  Thus, 
in  the  battalion  of  the  "Army  of 
Mercy"  there  are  enlisted  about  3.25(1 
workers. 

Now  here  is  where  the  tie-iu  is 
made  between  the  several  wings  of 
Ihe  "Army  of  Mercy": 

Each  "key  man"  is  appointe<l  a 
lieutenant  under  a  cajitain  in  a  dis- 
trict, or  geographical  division.  The 
"key  men"  report  to  their  captains 
on  the  progress  of  Ihe  canvass — just 
how  nmch  money  is  collected  daily 
fl om  the  employees  and  executives  of 
I  lie  business  establishments. 

Ihus  a  double  check  is  kept  on  all 
(■(inlributions,  both  through  the  in- 
dustrial establishments  division  and 
Ihi-ough  the  geographical  division. 

In  :i(ldition  to  the  three  divisions 
of  Ihe  "Army  of  Mercy"  is  still  an- 
ollu-r  important  part  of  the  Connnu- 
nity Chest  machinery.  This  is  a  sec- 
tion in  which  at  least  500  San  I'ran- 
ciscans  of  prominence  will  put  forth 
their  efforts  through  .'lO  connnittees 
and  subcommittees.     These  covci-: 

Co-operation  —  Seeing  that  the 
work  of  the  various  auxiliary  groujis 
.issisting  the  chest  dovetails  and  is 
kei)t  running  smoothly. 

Publicity — Seizing  on  every  chan- 
nel to  place  the  accomplishments  and 
needs  of  the  Community  Chest  be- 
fore the  public. 

Speakers'  Bureau — P  r  o  v  i  d  i  n  g 
speakers  for  various  organizations 
and  public  gatherings. 

Headquarters— Heally  the  "office 
manager"  of  the  organization. 

Finance — Keeping  guard  on  ex- 
|)enditurcs  of  the  different  Connnu- 
nity Chest  organizations,  besides  ad- 
vising with  the  executives  as  to  the 
proper  method  of  gathering  imd  ad- 
ministering funds. 

Altogether  about  7,000  San  Fian- 
ciscans  will  engage  in  the  annual 
campaign  of  the  Community  Chest 
next  year.  It  has  been  estimated 
that  the  work  and  time  put  forth  by 
these  individuals  could  not  be  pm-- 
chased  with  less  than  several  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars,  if  the  time  of 
the  business  and  financial  leaders 
and  other  campaign  workers  were 
paid  for  instead  of  being  volunteer 
service. 


SAX  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS.  DECEMBER  8,  li)2(i 


World-Famous  San  Francisco  Craftsmen 


lU.IAM  EDW  IN  BUDGE, 
out'  of  Aiiu'i'ica's  greiit 
iiuislcr  i)rinti>r.s  and  pub- 
lishers, wa.s  a  visitor  in 
.S;in  Francisco  recently, 
lie  came  franklv  to  sat- 
sity. 

"1  came  to  find  out  why  San  Fran- 
cisco has  so  many  really  great  print- 
ers," he  said.  "Why  is  the  whole 
standard  of  printing  here  so  much 
higher  than  it  is  in  the  East?  I  can 
understand  a  few  men,  artists  with 
type,  turning  out  books  that  are  as 
lovely  as  any  that  have  ever  been 
produced.  But  here  you  have  literally 
dozens  of  creative  craftsmen  who 
make  even  the  plainest  of  connner- 
cial  work  typographically  fine." 

This  opinion  of  the  printing  pro- 
duced in  San  Francisco  is  expiessed 
wherever  the  subject  is  discussed. 
Even  from  Italy,  Belgium  and 
France,  the  cradles  of  the  printing 
industry,  come  requests  for  exam- 
ples of  the  work  of  leading  crafts- 
men. 

Now,  curiously  enough,  printing 
in  this  city  is  distinguished  in  still 
another  way.  It  is  the  city's  largest 
manufacturing  industry  in  dollars 
and  cents.  Over  ,$12,00"(),00fl  sales  in 
1925  put  printing  ahead  of  all  other 
industries  together,  excluding  the 
first  four. 

There  does  not,  however,  seem  lo 
be  any  connection  between  the  mag- 
nitude of  the  printing  production  and 
the  reputation  of  the  cit.v  among 
those  who  appreciate  fine  typogra- 
phy. Not.  let  it  be  stated  quickly — 
not  that  this  reputation  is  founded 
upon  the  work  of  the  few.  Nowheie 
in  the  world  will  be  found  a  higher 
level  of  quality  in  printing  than 
marks  even  the  humblest  so-called 
commercial  work  done  here.  There 
seems  to  be  a  striving  for  excellence 
on  the  part  of  every  workman,  no 
matter  liow  commonplace  his  task 
may  be. 

This  reflects,  of  course,  the  exam- 
ple of  our  fine  book  printers.  It  is 
true,  also,  to  the  traditions  of  the 
craft.  The  printers  of  an  older  day 
were  ranked  as  gentlemen,  and  per- 
mitted in  England  to  wear  a  sword. 

But  a  little  investigation  shows 
that  about  90  per  cent  of  the  volume 
of  printing  produced  in  San  Fran- 
cisco is  the  product  of  ten  or  twelve 
large  shops.  And  this  volume  work 
consists  largely  of  railroad  and 
steamship  tariffs,  office  ajid  sh(i|) 
forms,  timetables  and  a  hundred  and 
one   other  "bread   and  butter"  jobs. 

The  number  of  books  produced 
here  in  a  year  is  not  great,  but  they 
are  all  great  books,  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  critics.  Most  of  them 
liecome  "collectors'  items" — lo  be 
found  in  fine  libraries,  or  purchased 
from  booksellers  only  at  a  ]>re]nium. 


By  HARTLEY  EVERETT  JACKSON 

San  Francisco's  fame  could  easily 
rest  upon  these  books  alone,  liul  it 
is  the  literature  of  connnerce — the 
fine  brochures,  the  catalogs,  folders, 
broadsides,  the  really  bcauliful  let- 
terheadings,  business  announcements 
and  so  on — that  have  evoked  Ihe  un- 
hesitating approval  of  the  rest  of  Ihe 
world. 

Advertisijig  lias  recognized  typog- 
raphy as  contributing  tremendously 
to  the  success  of  its  task  of  selling  by 
the  printed  word.  San  Francisco  is 
the  country's  third  largest  advertis- 
ing center.  Here  are  prepared  the 
campaigns  of  magazine  and  news- 
paper advertising,  and  all  the  printeil 
material  that  accompanies  it,  for 
nearly  all  Pacific  Coast  products. 
Prunes,  raisins,  pineaijples,  apricots, 
peaches,  walnuts  and  all  the  rest  are 
fitted  out  with  their  printed  sales 
message  here. 

Not  only  the  folders  for  dealer  <lis- 
Iribution,  the  window  trims  and  the 
posters  are  produced  here,  but  the 
magazine  and  newspaper  advertise- 
ments are  set  here  and  forwarded  in 
electrotype  plate  form  to  the  various 
publications.  This  type-setting  is  an 
industry  of  considerable  magnitude 
in  itself. 

Betail  establishments  in  SaJi  Fran- 
cisco |)oint  pridefully  to  the  beauty 
of  their  direct  mail  material  and 
news|)apcr  advertisements.  At  great 
national  conventions  of  advertisers 
and  retailers,  where  displays  of  a<l- 
vertising  material  are  held,  San 
Francisco  is  always  assured  of  a 
lion's  share  of  honors  and  trophies. 

The  publications  which  circulate 
among  the  advertising  managers  and 
store  executives  reproduce  outstand- 
ing examples  of  this  sort  of  adver- 
tising from  all  the  leading  cities,  and 
there  is  seldom  a  week  when  San 
Francisco  is  not  well  represented. 

It  is  quite  a  common  occurrence 
for  Western  representatives  of  large 
Eastern  firms  to  consign  to  the  fin- 
nace  quantities  of  booklets  or  circu- 
lars received  from  headquarteis  and 
reprint  the  material,  often  at  their 
own  expense.  They  know  that  in  a 
field  where  all  printed  salesmen  are 
well-dressed  it  would  be  fatal  to  send 
out  mediocre  or  poorly  printed  sales 
material. 

Several  contests  arc  held  to  select 
the  best  printed  matter  of  various 
kinds  produced  in  the  United  States. 
There  is  a  selection  of  the  fifty  best 
books  of  the  year,  and  125  of  the  best 
commercial  specimens.  These  are 
sponsored  by  the  American  Institute 
of  Graphic  Arts,  with  head(iuai'lers 
in  New  York. 

San  Francisco  is  well  represented 
in  the  membership  of  this  body, 
which  is  honorary  and   invilalioiial 


in  character.  San  Francisco  is  al- 
ways well  represented,  too,  in  the 
fifty  selections  each  year.  In  192.'), 
three  books  bore  the  imprint  of  San 
Francisco  printers,  and  ten  of  the  n,") 
commercial  specimens  awarded  hon- 
ors were  produced  here. 

The  list  for  1920  is  not  yet  maile, 
but  it  is  certain  that  San  Francisco 
will  once  more  have  more  than  her 
share  of  titles. 

The  Graphic  Arts  Leaders  of  Amer- 
ica, a  new  organization  fathered  by 
the  leading  paper  manufacturers  lo 
encourage  interest  in  fine  printing, 
made  its  first  award  in  1925.  First 
place  went  to  E.  &  B.  Grabhorn  of 
San  Francisco.  In  192fi  first  j)lace 
again  came  to  San  Francisco,  being 
awarded  to  .lohn  Henry  Nash.  This 
exhibit,  by  the  way,  is  now  in  San 
Francisco,  displayed  at  the  Zellei- 
bach   Paper   Company's   offices. 

Several  large  Eastern  publishei's 
have  arranged  to  have  special  edi- 
tions of  forthcoming  books  designed 
by  San  Francisco  craftsmen.  It  has 
long  been  their  custom  to  have  this 
work  done  by  such  men  as  Bruce 
Rogers,  Frederic  Goudy,  the  Bosas, 
and  other  world-famous  workers  in 
type.  That  they  should  turn  to  this 
city  for  such  work  is  honor  indeed. 

.Now  to  an.swer  Mr.  Budge's  ques- 
tion as  to  why  this  should  be  may 
not  be  easy.  But  a  visit  lo  the  work- 
shop of  any  one  of  a  dozen  San  Fran- 
cisco typographers  may  give  a  clue. 
Vou  will  find  a  clean,  orderly  shop, 
and  like  as  not  the  "boss"  liimself 
in  an  artistic  smock,  stick  In  han<l. 
putting  his  ideas  into  type. 

On  the  wall  will  be  signed,  flamed 
originals  from  the  pen  or  brush  of 
our  best  Western  artists.  Probably 
.you  will  find  the  artist  himself  lean- 
ing over  a  stone  in  interested  and  in- 
teresting conversation  with  his  fel 
low  artist  in  type.  For  the  printers 
in  San  Francisco  have  for  their 
friends  the  writers,  the  arlisis,  the 
musicians  and  art  connoisseurs,  and 
they  are  counted  as  fellows  of  Ihe 
craft  of  beauty. 

Do  not  fail  to  see  the  printeis'  col 
lection  of  books.  They  will  be  found 
in  rough  cases,  perhaps,  or  scattered 
around  the  workroom.  Examples  of 
the  work  of  the  older  craftsmen — 
.lenson.  Tory,  Estienne,  Aldus,  the 
Elzevirs,  Caxton — all  the  great  ones 
who  rank  in  the  printing  world  as 
Michelangelo,  Baphael  and  Titian  in 
the  world  of  art. 

These  are  the  inspiration  of  the 
worker  in  type.  Here  he  finds  the 
almost  unattainable  standards  to- 
ward which  he  must  seek.  And  their 
nearly  priceless  pages  hold  foi'  him 
beauties  that,  from  the  crucible  of 
creative  genius,  are  born  again  in 
hooks  that  will  in  turn  become  |)rice- 
less  as  tlie  years  pass.

students  of  agriculture,  but  have  be-

country-wide  group  learn  to  regulate 
planting  so  as  to  avoid  extreme  over- 
production of  any  single  commodity, 
then  they  may  be  said  to  be  reaping 
the  full  benefits  which  result  from 
methods  of  budgetary  control.

fashioned  way.  from  day  to  day  or 
month  to  month,  using  rulc-of-thumb 
methods  in  getting  business  and  buy- 
ing or  manufacturing  the  goods  as 
he  sells,  may  be  likened  to  the  dirt 
farmer  who  was  always  successful 
in  the  good  years.  When  the  bad 
years  came  he  had  to  mortgage  the 
farm.  The  old-fashioned  manufac- 
turer has  to  issue  bonds  or  secure 
some  other  type  of  burdensome 
credit. 

The  newer  type,  on  the  other  hand, 
never  experiences  a  really  bad  year. 
That  perhaps  is  the  greatest  contri- 
bution of  the  budgetary  control  idea 
to  modern  business.  It  has  provided 
a  definite  method  by  which  the  prof- 
its of  a  company  may  be  stabilized 
and  insured  against  the  devastating 
attack  of  a  business  depression. 

Management  under  budgetary  con- 
trol is  another  name  for  scientific 
merchandising.  Being  scientific,  its 
metho<ls  must  be  studied  and  learned 
before  they  can  be  .successfully  ap- 
plied. If  the  management  of  a  com- 
pany is  not  ready  to  give  up  many 
of  its  old  practices  in  pursuit  of  the 
new  plan  and  becomes  impatient  un- 
der the  perplexities  attendant  upon 
ils  introduction,  then  the  budget  is 
(loomed  to  failure  from  the  start,  and 
sliiiuld  not  be  tried.  It  has  been  the 
experience  of  others,  however,  that, 
as  in  all  problems,  the  chief  difficul- 
ties in  the  way  of  the  <levelopment  of 
a  comprehensive  budget  plan  arise  at 
the  start. 

First,  the  organization  of  the  com- 
pany nmst  be  along  sound  lines,  with 
the  responsibilities  and  duties  of  the 
iiffiiers,  junior  executives  and  va- 
rious departments  well  defined.  It 
may  be  safely  assumed  that  unless 
these  duties  are  in  writing  they  are 
not  well  defined  and  uniformly  un- 
derstood by  all.  The  budget,  then, 
offers  a  definite  service  at  the  very 
beginning  by  requiring  the  estab- 
lislmient  of  proper  organization 
lines,  under  which  conflicting  au- 
thorities and  duplications  of  effort 
are  avoided. 

Secondly,  the  accounting  cla.ssifi- 
cation  in  use  and  the  accounting 
methods  must  be  modified  or  recast 
to  conform  to  the  proper  organiza- 
tion lines.  If  this  is  not  done  the 
subsequent  administration  of  the 
budget  may  become  so  difficult  as 
to  be  virtually  impossible. 

Thirdly,  the  obstructionist  tactics 
of  certain  key  men  in  the  organiza- 
tion, who  have  never  been  called 
upon  to  plan  their  work  or  depart- 
mental actions  in  co-operation  with 
others,  must  be  eliminated. 

The  budget  in  itself  offers  a  defi- 
nite service  in  all  these  difficulties, 
since  it  makes  necessary  or  invaria- 
bly improves  the  co-ordination  of  all

[  continued  from  page  S  ] 

The  highway  program,  now  almost 
completed,  has  attracted  tourists  in 
rapidly  multiplying  numbers  and  the 
money  thus  put  into  circulation, 
while  perhaps  not  considerable  in 
terms  of  other  states,  has  spelled  the 
difference  between  business  depres- 
sion and  healthy  growth  or  "normal- 
cy" at  least.  Recreational  spots  of 
scenic  and  other  interest  have  also 
brought  for  hotel  and  other  tourist 
investment  considerable  sums  of  cap- 
ital, and  promise  more. 

Mining  and  livestock  have  not 
shown  the  optimistic  aspect  that 
could  be  desired.  Precious-metal 
mining,  notably  silver,  has  lagged 
with  the  dropping  prices  in  the  mar- 
ket, with  the  comparative  exhaus- 
tion of  the  older  and  larger  mines 
and  with  the  absence  of  notable  new 
discoveries.  Copper  has  been  pro- 
gressing favorably  and  the  gross  cop- 
per values  give  them  first  place  in 
the  Nevada  mining  field.  Promising 
activity  for  the  development  of  com- 
mercial earths  and  metals  has  not 
yet  registered  largely  in  money  re- 
turns. New  mining  discoveries  in 
the  precious-metals  field,  notably  at 
Manhattan  and  Quartz  Mountain, 
have  given  encouragement  at  the 
close  of  the  year. 

The  livestock  industry  is  recover- 
ing from  a  period  of  shrinking  mar- 
kets and  market  prices.  Better  prices 
for  beef  and  in  the  sheep  industry 
have  turned  the  corner  for  the  own- 
ers, but  the  utilitarian  attitude  of  the 
Federal  Government  in  the  matter 
of  the  control  of  the  public  lands  for 
grazing,  as  well  as  its  apathy  toward 
further  commitments  in  reclamation, 
has  served  to  mark  an  epoch  that 
may  spell  stagnation  for  a  time.  With 
90  per  cent  of  the  area  in  Nevada 
held  by  the  Federal  Government, 
such  a  situation  has  a  disproportion- 
ate weight  here.  The  year  has  wit- 
nessed the  breaking  up  of  a  number 
of  large  ranches  to  be  sold  as  small 
farms.  This  will  mean  a  logical  trend 
toward  colonization. 

Water  rights — the  basis  of  value 
for  Nevada  lands — are  slowly  but 
surely  being  definitely  established. 
With  surety  of  title,  this  spells  more 
definite  values.  The  total  water  sup- 
jily  is  limited,  however,  and  however 
divided  represents  a  definite  limita- 
tion on  population.  The  last  decen- 
nial census  showed  a  loss  in  popula- 
tion. I  do  not  expect  this  to  be  re- 
peated, but  the  increase  will  not  be 
remarkable. 

Aside  from  the  increment  arising 
from  the  tourist  influence,  the  larg- 
est single  influence  on  the  horizon 
is  the  Colorado  River  development, 
with  its  incident  Boulder  Canyon 
Dam  construction.  This  is  a  moral 
certainty  in  the  next  decade  and  its 
shadow  goes  before — a  very  benefi- 
cent and  grateful  shadow,  I  may  add. 
During  this  year  land  values,  town 
values  and  business  generally  have 
been  stimulated  in  Southern  Nevada, 


due  to  this  cause.  Southern  Nevada 
has  shown  prosperity.  The  sphere 
of  influence  radiating  from  Los  An- 
geles is  felt  there  and  railroad  man- 
agers have  co-operated  heartily  in 
the  development. 

In  the  north,  Reno  shows  an  active 


building  history  —  perhaps  more 
notable  than  any  city  in  the  West, 
size  considered.  Railroad  employ- 
ment, some  incidental  lumber  activi- 
ties and  other  small  factory  enter- 
prises comprise  the  avenues  of  em- 
ployment other  than  mining.

It  is  to  be  admitted  that  the  fore- 
going list  at  first  sight  might  easily 
strike  terror  into  the  heart  of  the 
business  manager  who  has  not 
been  in  the  habit  of  reducing  his 
policies  and  future  plans  to  writing 
for  the  guidance  of  subordinate  of- 
ficers and  managers,  as  well  as  him- 
self. However,  thoughtful  consider- 
ation of  the  proposed  separate  ac- 
tions cannot  fail  to  impress  one  with 
the  facts  that  they  all  hinge  upon  the 
sales  forecast  and  that  they  represent 
merely  orderly  processes  of  mind  un- 
der which  unit  transactions  are  first 
conceived  of  in  quantity  and  time 
and  subsequently  given  money 
values.  With  common  sense,  past 
operating  records  and  knowledge  of 
trade  conditions  and  the  business  to 
guide  imagination,  it  is  not  particu- 
larly difficult  for  a  department  man- 
ager to  state  in  advance  what  he  can 
and  will  do  under  given  conditions. 
That  is  the  essence  of  budget  con- 
.struclion. 

Making  the  Sales  Forecast:  It  is. 
of  course,  essential  that  the  sales 
forecast  shall  be  attainable  un<ler  all 
ordinary  corcuiiistances.  This  jire- 
supposes  a  clear  working  knowledge 
of  the  sales  territory  in  all  its  phases 
— population,  number  of  possible 
customers,  purchasing  power,  com- 
petition to  be  encountered  and  sales 
records  of  present  customers  by  in- 
dividual product  quantities,  as  well 
as  by  values.  The  point  is  to  reduce 
these  facts  to  wrilin^.

To  be  successful  the  s;des  forecast 
should  represent  the  combined  ef- 
forts of  all  members  of  the  sales  de- 
partment of  the  company.  Possibly 
the  best  way  to  accomiilish  the  pur- 
pose is  to  hold  a  .sales  meeting  and 
ask  each  salesman  to  prepare  a  sur- 
vey of  the  sales  possibilities  of  his 
lei-ritory  by  towns  and  customers  for 
the  ensuing  year.  He  should  be  given 
the  record  of  his  jiasl  year's  per- 
formance as  a  guide  and  also  should 
be  instructed  in  the  use  of  forms 
which  would  be  designed  to  facilitate 
the  development  of  his  estimates 
upon  a  monthly  b:isis  by  individual 
product  quantities.  Values  are  not 
essential  and  in  fact  should  be  avoid- 
ed since  price  complications  are 
bound  to  arise,  with  consequent  hin- 
drance to  the  completion  of  the  sales 
forecast. 

With  the  past  records  and  future 
estimates  of  the  individual  salesman 
at  hand  the  scientific  tlelerminalion 
of  an  attainable  year's  business  is 
mainly  clerical  in  nature.  The 
branch  manager  contributes  his  "or- 
der" for  a  year's  business  to  head- 
quarters, where  it  is  assimilated  and 
combined  with  similar  "orders"  from 
other  branches.  With  proper  modi- 
fication and  revision  the  result  is 
the  annual  sales  budget,  upon  wlilcli 
all  other  budget  activities  depend.

"I  am  sorry,"  he  said,  "to  tell  you 
that  you  are  in  bad.  You  have  broken 
about  every  law  against  restraint  of 
trade  that  I  ever  heard  about." 

"Well,  what  do  you  advise  me  to 
do?" 

"There's  only  one  thing  for  you  to 
do.  Settle  your  difficulties  as  quick- 
ly as  you  can  if  the  Government  will 
let  you  and  then  revamp  your  whole 
plan  of  operation  and  start  afresh. 
It  will  do  you  and  your  business  a 
lot  of  harm  to  fight  this  out  for 
months  and  possibly  years.  .\n<l  then 
you  can't  win! 

"If  you  agree,  I  shall  take  this 
matter  up  at  once  with  the  Govern- 
ment officials  and  get  you  the  best 
terms  I  can.  I  think  I  can  settle  the 
indictment  by  getting  them  to  agree 
to  let  you  plca<l  'nolo  contendere,' 
wliicli  means  a  plea  of  'guilty,'  for 
your  particular  case,  but  which  in 
law  will  let  you  out  without  any 
criminal    record     that   can    be   used

against  you  in  another  proceeding. 
This  is  important  not  only  in  that 
respect,  but  because  you  may  be 
subjected  to  treble  damage  suits  at 
the  behest  of  those  who  conceive 
themselves  injured  by  your  actions. 
If  the  Government  will  not  assent  to 
this,  we  shall  request  the  court  to  be 
allowed  to  enter  such  a  plea  and  I 
think  it  will  be  allowed,  as  the  cniirl 
has  such  discretion  where  it  is  usual 
in  such  cases  as  yours  to  impose 
fines  only.  Then  I  shall  try  to  get 
the  Government  to  let  you  settle  the 
equity  case  by  a  consent  decree  en- 
joining you  from  doing  those  acts 
pursuant  to  the  conspiracy  which 
have  been  found  and  declared  by  the 
cases  to  he  illegal.  The  latter  can- 
not be  objectionable  to  you,  because 
I  know  that  you  do  not  intend  to 
do  anything  illegal  in  future  and  did 
not  intend  to  do  so  in  the  first  place. 
You  are  in  the  position  of  thousands 
of  men  who  have  blundered  into  il- 
legality by  not  being  properly  in- 
formed and  by  being  so  wrapped  up 
in  their  business  that  they  had  no 
Ihciught  of  the  legal  angles." 

".Ml  right,"  replied  Sam,  "go  ahead 
and  see  what  you  can  do." 

Sam's  lawyer  called  on  the  special 
assistant  to  the  attorney  general. 
.Nothing  more  was  heard  about  Sam's 
troubles  until  about  three  weeks 
later,  when  a  small  article  appeared 
in  the  press  to  the  effect  that  the 
rase  of  United  States  vs.  Samuel 
Browne  Company,  Inc.,  and  others, 
had  been  called  in  the  United  States 
District  Court  that  morning  and  that 
pleas  of  "nolo  contendere"  had  been 
entered  by  all  the  defendants  who 
were  charged  in  the  indictment  with 
a  conspiracy  in  restraint  of  trade 
under  the  Sherman  Anti-Trust  and 
Clayton  acts,  that  the  court  had  fined 
the  corporate  defendants  the  sum  of 
S,"),000  each  and  the  individual  de- 
fendants .$2,500  each,  and  that  simul- 
taneously with  the  imposition  of  the 
fines  a  consent  decree  was  entered 
in  an  equity  suit  involving  the  same 
matter  enjoining  the  defendants  from 
conspiring  to  fix  resale  prices  and 
territory  and  from  doing  otliei'  aels 
of  similar  nature  which  were  allciii'il 
to  be  in  restraint  of  trade  under  the 
Sherman  and  Clayton  acts. 

,\fter  these  formalities  were  over, 
and  Sam  had  paid  another  good, 
round  sum  to  his  lawyer,  he  again 
sat  down  in  his  spacious  office  with 
a  sigh  of  great  relief.  He  lighted  a 
popular  5-cent  cigar  and  put  his  feet 
up  on  his  desk.  He  looked  out  over 
the  bay  and  pondered  deeply.  Once 
again  the  bright  sunshine  warmed 
his  whole  being.  Once  again  he  was 
at  peace  with  the  world,  this  time 
after  a  bitter  experience. 

Puff,  puff  went  his  cigar;  think, 
think  went  his  brain.  Suddenly  he 
rang  the  bell  for  his  secretary  and 
said  to  her,  "By  the  way,  that  law- 
yer's pretty  wise,  isn't  he!" 

"Safety  first!  The  profits  are  all 
gone,  but  the  Sherman  Law  is  still 
here!"

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  DECEMBER  8.  1926 


[  cantioued  from  pagf  9  ] 

on  tliu  otiicr  side  of  the  mez/iiniiie 
floor,  niul  in  between  tiilkinf!  ;il)Oiit 
iiienus  and  Ijanquets  over  tlie  tele- 
plione  to  unseen  patrons,  tells  us  of 
soiiie  of  Ills  plans,  and  promises  that 
:il  the  Mark  Hopkins  he  will  revive 
Ihe  spirit  of  hospitality  which  made 
San  Francisco  cuisine  famous 
lliroutjhout  the  land. 

'I'lien  Victor  and  Mr.  Smilh  and  Jlr. 
Taylor  show  us  through  the  kitchen, 
Victor  explaining  in  his  own  ininiita- 
hle  style  the  compactness  anil  niod- 
ernness  of  this  department  of  the 
.Mark  Hopkins. 

When,  over  fifty  years  ago,  a  few 
Comstock  Lode  millionaires  and  rail- 
I'oad  kings  chose  Nob  Hill  as  the  site 
for  their  mansions,  we  wonder  if 
they  imagined  that  today  a  niiieteen- 
stoiy  hotel  capable  of  sheltering  a 
thousand  persons  would  stand  where 
they  erected  one  house  as  a  home 
for  one  family.  S]jlendid  though  they 
were,  the  homes  of  those  early  aris- 
tocrats could  not  compare  with  the 
modern  magnificence  of  the  Hotel 
Mark  Hopkins. 

There  are  500  guest  "wjoms  in  llie 
.Mark  Hopkins,  many  arranged  in 
apartment  suite  style.  Already  inaiiy 
of  the  social  elite  of  San  Francisco 
have  chosen  the  Mark  Hopkins  for 
their  town  house,  and  there  is  no 
doubt  that  the  hotel  will  be  one  of 
the  most  successful  in  the  countiy 
and  take  its  place  as  one  of  the  fa- 
mous hostelries  of  the  world. 

Who  should  receive  credit  for  this 
great  $5,000,000  undertaking?  A.slf 
those  who  know  and  they  will  tell 
you  were  it  not  for  George  D.  Smith 
there  would  be  no  Hotel  Mark  Hop- 
kins today.  A  cheerful,  modest  miin 
to  meet,  this  George  D.  Smith,  who 
graduated  from  the  University  of 
California  as  a  mining  engineei-  and 
who  now  owns  and  directs  the  desti- 
nies of  this  modern  moiunnent  to 
progress.  The  story  of  .Smith  and 
his  achievements  is  a  volume  in 
itself.  But  that  volume  will  some  day 
be  written.

but  when  the  quantities  must  be

He  knows  the  capacity  of  the  fac- 
tory, although  he  may  never  before 
have  been  called  upon  to  think  of  it 
ill  terms  of  product  quantities  at 
stated  intervals.  He  and  his  assist- 
ants thereuiion  make  a  survey  to  de- 
termine what  the  plant  and  equip- 
ment facilities  must  be  to  produce 
the  quantities  called  for  by  the  an- 
nual sales  budget.  It  may  easily  be 
that  the  time  factors  cannot  be  met 
economically,  thus  making  necessary 
a  revision  in  the  sales  budget.  How- 
ever, the  chances  are  that  with  the 
warehouse  to  act  as  a  stabilizer  the 
manufacturing  program  can  be  so  ar- 
ranged as  to  keep  all  departments 
upon  a  uniform  production  basis, 
w  i  I  h  consequent  manufacturing 
economies  which  are  highly  desira- 
ble. It  is  well  known  that  higher 
profits  generally  follow  lower  costs 
when  the  latter  result  from  improve- 
ments in  ]irocesses  and  methods. 

New  machine  and  equipment  le- 
<|uirements,  together  with  repairs, 
can  be  planned  for  in  advance,  both 
as  to  time  for  purchase  and  cost

quirements supply  another  state-

The  Lincoln  is  as  nearly  a  perfect 
motor  car  as  it  is  possible  to  pro-

human  limitations. 

This  distinction  is  the  reward  of 
infinite  care — building  to  an  ideal 
that  knows  no  compromise  with 
quality.     If  there  were  now  any 


known  way  to  make  the  Lincoln 
a  better  automobile,  the  improve-

the  proper  construction   of  the   an- 
nual company  budget. 

The  iiroduction  program  also  calls 
for  the  determination  of  the  material 
and  suiijilies  which  will  be  required 
to  produce  the  quantities  called  for 
by  the  annual  sales  budget.  The 
budget  requirements  are  serious  at 
this  point  if  the  company  does  not 
have  ailcquate  records  to  give  this 
information  relative  to  individual 
products.  This  information  is  vital, 
however,  to  the  success  of  the  com- 
plete plan  and  must  be  developed  for 
use  in  preparing  the  annual  materials 
budget. 

Estimating  Expenses:  Having  de- 
termined )>lant  and  material  require- 
ments, the  factory  executives  are  in 
position  to  calculate  the  cost  of  all 
other  expenditures  necessary  for  the 
year's  production. 

The  branch  managers,  sales  man- 
ager, treasurer,  office  manager,  and 
all  other  heads  of  departments  also 
have  responsibilities  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  the  expense  estimates. 

While  the  expense  records  of  pre- 
vious years  give  valuable  informa- 
tion in  this  connection,  it  should  be 
emphasized  that  the  preparation  of 
an  expense  estimate  is  a  forecast  of 
expenses  as  they  should  be  to  handle 
most  economically  the  sales  and  pro- 
duction budgets  of  the  year.  Ex- 
pense estimates  should  be  made  up 
independently  of  the  past  records  if 
the  greatest  benefits  are  to  be  de- 
rived; namely,  the  development  of 
genuine  interest  in  the  budget,  and 
tilt  betterment  of  employee  judgment 
in  forecasting  business  conditions 
and  the  results  thereof,  with  conse- 
quent stabilization  of  company  prof- 
its. 

The  salaries  and  wages  expense 
total  of  each  department  therefore 
should  be  built  up  by  taking  the  num- 
ber of  persons  at  each  rate  which 
the  department  manager  expects  to 
employ.  It  should  not  be  arbitrarily 
taken  at  the  figure  of  the  previous 
year.  This  procedure,  properly 
adapted,  should  be  applied  to  each 
major  item  of  expense. 

The  need  of  an  adequate  system  of 
accounts  is  nowhere  more  strikingly 
illustrated  than  in  the  preparation  of 
the  various  expense  budgets.  If  the 
accounts  are  properly  classified  and 
named  the  task  is  exceedingly  simple. 
.Vmbiguitics  and  the  handling  of  un- 
like items  in  the  same  account  should 
not  be  permitted,  because  such  a  con- 
dition makes  necessary  a  large 
amount  of  analysis  in  subsequent 
comparisons  of  actual  attainments 
with  the  budget  forecasts. 

The  summary  of  all  the  expense 
estimates  represents  the  annual  ex- 
pense budget.  Stated  in  terms  of  nat- 
ural, major  divisions  of  expense  it 
serves  a  dual  purpose  by  directly  in- 
fluencing the  cash  position  of  the 
company  at  the  end  of  each  month

and  by  throwing  into  decided  relief 
subsequent  deviations  from  the  esti- 
mates whenever  the  deviations  are 
serious  in  nature.  In  fact,  all  of  the 
budget  statements  serve  this  dual 
purpose.

at  the  end  of  each  month  becomes 
merely  a  question  of  copying  the 
cumulative  figures  produced  on  the 
working  trial  balance. 

The  Statement  of  Receipts  and  Dis- 
bursements: With  the  foregoing 
schedules  antl  information  as  a 
guide,  it  becomes  possible  to  fore- 
cast just  what  the  cash  requirements 
should  be  at  stated  intervals,  and 
steps  can  be  planned  accordingly  to 
secure  additional  credit  or  conserve 
funds  in  the  best  interests  of  the 
I'ompanx'.  As  a  result  of  the  prepara- 
tion of  this  statement  all  information 
necessary  for  the  conduct  of  the 
business  under  budget  management 
has   been   secured. 

The  Budget  in  Operation:  The 
budget  was  constructed  with  pains- 
laking  attention  to  details.  It  may  be 
fairly  assumed  that  the  preparation 
of  the  first  budget  has  taken  a  num- 
ber of  weeks  or  months,  since  the 
entire  business  of  the  company  has 
been  subjected  to  a  concentrated 
analysis  which  in  all  probability  un- 
covered weaknesses  in  organization 
or  methods  that  required  correction 
in  order  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  new 
plan.  Also,  the  various  sections  of 
the  budget  were  not  constructed 
sinuiltaneously,  but  were  taken  up 
one  at  a  time  and  in  logical  order. 

Having  been  constructed  carefully 
and  for  a  great  purpose,  the  complete 
liudget  should  be  administered  with 
equal  care  and  attention  to  details. 
Experience  has  taught  that  maxi- 
mum results  cannot  be  achieved  un- 
less a  qualified  executive  is  charged 
with  sole  responsibility  for  the  ef- 
fective conduct  of  the  statistical  end 
of  the  budget  operation.  It  may  well 
be  that  during  the  first  year  or 
longer  his  entire  time  would  be  taken 
up  in  training  the  organization  to 
make  adequate  use  of  the  new  instru- 
ment. 

It  is  a  most  delicate  instrument, 
too,  and  so  must  be  cared  for  willi 
unstinted  devotion.  It  must  be  ad- 
justed from  time  to  time  to  meet 
changes  in  business  and  internal  con- 
ditions which  were  overlooked  or 
not  contemplated  in  the  original  bud- 
get construction  period.  To  provide 
for  such  changes  the  operating  and 
financial  statements  contain  columns 
in  addition  to  those  which  show  ac- 
tual results,  budget  estimates  and 
corresponding  increases  or  decreases. 
These  additional  columns  reflect  the 
budget  changes  and  the  revised  bud- 
get balance  to  date,  and  preserve 
thereby  the  identity  of  the  original 
estimates. 

When  properly  installed  and  con- 
scientiously administered,  thereafter 
the  complete  budget  provides  the 
most  effective  means  known  to  mod- 
ern business  for  the  stabilization  and 
realization  of  satisfactory  earnings. 

Executives  who  have  given  it  a  fair 
trial  and  weathered  the  difficult  first 
months,  during  which  the  organiza- 
tion learned  to  think  in  terms  of  the 
future  and  take  pride  in  meeting  its 


self-imposed  sales,  production  and 
expense  quotas,  state  their  conviction 
that  under  budget  management  iirof- 
its  have  been  earned  in  years  which, 
under  the  old-time  methods,  woulil 
have  produced  substantial  losses. 

Company  loyalty  and  spirit  is  fos- 
tered under  the  budget  plan.  Econo- 
mies of  operation  follow  as  a  matter 
of  course  when  any  considerable 
group  of  employees  awakens  to  a 
realization  that  the  prosperity  of  the 
company  means  prosperity  for  the 
individual.

The  Dumbarton  bridge,  which  is 
scheduled  to  open  soon,  is  the  sub- 
ject of  an  interesting  pamphlet  is- 
sued by  I.eib-Keyston  &  Co.

mobile traffic  is  visualized,  one  rec- 
ord showing  that  Oakland  ferries  in 
1913  transported  161,981  automo- 
biles. This  compares  with  2,,'?90,ir)0 
for  192(1,  the  latter  estimate  being 
based   on  seven   months'  actual. 

The  location  of  the  bridge  in  rela-

from  the  San  .loaquin  Valley  ami

Uir;il  (iisif^n  and  strength 
of  construction,  the  new 
Hunter  -  Dulin  Building, 
:il  the  corner  of  Mont- 
gomery and  Sutler 
streets,  in  .San  Francisco,  stands  as 
one  of  the  finest  structures  in  the 
West. 

This  builchnR  is  beinf?  erected  by 
Messrs.  Hunter,  Dulin  &  Co.,  one  of 
the  largest  security  underwriting 
houses  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  who  will 
occupy  a  suite  of  offices,  probably 
on  tlic  ground  floor.  Lindgren  & 
Swinerton,  Inc..  builders  of  the 
Standard  Oil  Huilding  and  the  new 
Pacific  Telephone  Building,  are  the 
general  contractors,  and  Me.ssrs. 
Schultze  &  Weaver  are  the  archi- 
tects. 

It  is  a  worthy  successor  to  the  old 
Lick  House,  which  is  heUI  so  affec- 
tionately in  the  minds  of  San  Fran- 
ciscans and  inseparably  associated 
with  many  of  the  stirring  incidents 
of  the  city's  early  history. 

Forming  the  first  link  in  the  chain 
of  new  buildings  now  under  con- 
struction along  Montgomery,  "The 
Wall  Street  of  the  West,"  the  Hunter- 
Dulin  Building  adds  both  beauty  and 
impressiveness  to  San  Francisco's 
skyline.

SAN  FRANCISCO  BUSINESS,  DECEMBER  8,  192fi 


[  continued  from  page  7  ] 

or  of  how  dozens,  at  that  very  mo- 
ment, were  working  desperately  so 
that  the  listener  would  not  be  kept 
waiting. 

From  the  announcer's  microphone 
in  the  stadium  and  from  the  two  in 
front  of  the  rival  cheering  sections 
and  bands,  three  slender  wires  car- 
ried the  story  of  the  game  into  a  mix- 
ing panel.  There  the  announcer's 
voice  and  the  cheers  were  either 
raised  or  cut  down,  as  the  occasion 
warranted.  From  there  they  passed 
through  other  processes,  and  for  the 
first  time  the  sounds  were  amplified. 
On  across  the  bay  the  wire — it  being 
but  one  after  leaving  the  mixing 
panel — stretched.  Finally  the  voice 
arrived  at  the  KPO  broadcaster,  and 
there  the  story  of  the  game  was 
hurled  throughout  the  West  on  waves 
of  ether.  But  the  wire  did  not  stop 
at  the  KPO  studio,  for  it  was  a  simul- 
taneous broadcast  with  KFI,  Los  An- 
geles, and  as  the  voice  traveled  its 
journey  of  some  500  miles  to  the 
Southern  broadcaster,  it  was  ampli- 
fied again  and  again.  Men  at  desig- 
nated stations  were  listening  and 
watching  and  guarding,  so  that  all 
would  be  well. 

And  then,  500  miles  from  the  sta- 
dium, the  voices  were  again  shot  out 
on  the  ether.  An  almost  unbelieva- 
ble thing  is  the  fact  that  had  a  man 
been  sitting  in  the  stadium  with  a 
radio  set — one  ear  to  an  ear  phone 
and  the  other  open,  he  would  have 


heard  the  rooting  section,  by  radio, 
quicker  than  their  actual  cheering 
from  across  the  field.  That  is  how 
much  faster  radio  vibrations  travel 
than  sound. 

The  game  itself  cost  hundreds  of 
dollars  to  broadcast,  but  few  knew 
that.  A  large  firm  paid  hundreds  of 
dollars  to  have  the  play-by-play  re- 
port of  the  annual  classic  broadcast 
in  the  Southland.  That  is  one  of  the 
things  that  radio  is  doing.  It  has 
taken  a  very  definite  and  prominent 
place  in  the  advertising  field. 

It  was  only  a  few  years  ago  that 
those  in  the  radio  world  were  piov- 
ing  to  a  skeptical  public  the  great- 
ness of  radio,  and  now,  only  a  com- 
paratively short  time  after  its  incep- 
tion, we  find  it  solidly  established, 
the  value  of  radio  proved,  and  it  is 
contributing  daily  as  much  to  Amer- 
ican life,  in  both  education  and  en- 
tertainment, as  any  other  factor. 

With  radio  established  as  it  is. 
those  in  the  radio  world  have  now 
turned  their  attention  from  proving 
the  greatness  of  broadcasting  and  are 
seeking  to  better  it.  Great  strides 
have  been  made  and  are  being  made. 
Radio,  from  a  business  standpoint, 
is  one  of  America's  greatest  indus- 
tries. It  is  here  to  stay.  We,  in  radio, 
believe  that  it  is  also  here  to  grow 
to  even  greater  proportions  than  it 
is  today.  Perhaps  we  might  describe 
radio  itself  and  the  other  industries 
from  which  it  draws. 

In   the  first   place,  there   must   be 


huge  manufacturing  plants  where 
great  broadcasters  are  made.  The 
stations  broadcasting  today  number 
in  the  thousands.  Then  there  are 
also  the  factories  that  build  the  re- 
ceiving sets — millions  of  which  are 
now  on  the  market  and  in  American 
homes.  Perhaps  no  industry  is  mak- 
inggreateruscof  our  telephone  wires, 
with  the  exception  of  the  press  and 
telegraph,  than  radio.  Its  sinuilta- 
neous  broadcasts  have  held  wires 
open  from  one  end  of  the  country  to 
the  other. 

Then  there  is  also  another  way  in 
which  radio  draws  upon  the  tele- 
graph systems.  Nightly  telegrams 
and  telephone  calls  number  in  the 
hundreds.  At  one  of  KPO's  anniver- 
sary programs,  71,000  letters  and 
telegrams  were  received  from  all 
parts  of  the  United  States. 

We  could  go  on  to  great  length 
telling  of  what  happens  behind  the 
scenes  in  radio,  but  it  is  almost  a 
never-ending  story,  and  each  day 
more  chapters  are  added  to  the  his- 
tory of  this  newest  form  of  enter- 
tainment which  occupies  such  a  high 
position  in  the  home  of  America.  The 
finest  opera  star  from  the  Metro- 
politan, a  symphony  concert,  a 
world-famed  band,  or  a  president's 
address  may  at  almost  any  time  be 
found  on  the  radio;  but  the  accom- 
plishments to  date,  wide  sweeping  as 
they  are,  are  only  the  heralds  of  a 
greater  era  into  which  broadcasting 
is  entering. 


Everyone  knows  what  P.  S.  means:  It  is  the  signal 
that  indicates  "more  to  be  said";  it  is  the  woman 
correspondent's  dearest  friend — she  rarely  leaves 
it  out  of  a  letter. 

P.  S.  also  stands  for  Public  Service.  When  applied 
to  towels  it  means  there  is  more  to  be  said  about 
Public  Service  towels  than  can  be  said  in  a  few 
words. 


Although  it  takes  time  to  relate  the  advantages  of  Public  .Service 
towels,  the  effect  of  these  advantages  can  be  demonstrated 
quickly.  There  is  no  more  reason  why  you  should  blot  with  a 
paper  towel  than  with  a  cloth  towel  if  the  towel  is  properly  made. 


Public  Service  towels  are  the  rub-don't-blot  kind.  Vou  do  not  have  to  reverse  your 
natural  instinct  when  using  Public  Service  towels.  They  do  not  tear.  They  do  not 
pulp.  They  just  dry-dry-dry  as  you  rub.  The  patented  hem  on  Public  Service 
towels  adds  to  the  ease  with  which  wet  hands  can  draw  them  from  the  cabinet. 
P.  S.  cabinets  serve  one  towel  at  a  time  and  are  easily  filled  because  of  the  single 
fold  interleave.   Samples  and  prices  on  request. 

P.  S.  towels  give  a  clean  towel  for  every  pair  of  hands

Harbor  Improvements 

Asked  by  Chamber 

of  Commerce 

Assured 

AN  FRANCISCO  harhoi 
will  be  cleared  of  prac- 
tically every  obstruction 
that  is  a  menace  to  deep 
draft  vessels. 

This  is  the  assurance 
received  by  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  from  its  Washing- 
Ion  bureau. 

The  Board  of  Engineers  for  Rivers 
anil  Harbors,  according  to  this  dis- 
patch, has  agreed  to  the  full  program 
of  harbor  improvement  initiated  by 
the  chamber. 

Several  months  ago  the  board 
agreed  to  institute  a  survey  covering 
only  part  of  the  chamber's  program 
and  effecting  a  channel  2,000  feel 
wide  and  3a  to  40  feet  deep,  extend- 
ing from  the  Golden  Gate  along  llie 
San  Francisco  waterfront. 

The  maritime  and  harbor  connnit- 
lec  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
subsequently  submitted  data  and 
briefs  pointing  out  the  necessity  of 
extending  the  survey  to  include  the 
lowering  of  obstructions  to  a  deplh 
of  40  feet  in  the  whole  main  harbor. 


This  will  include  Arch  Rock.  Shag 
liock  and  another  shoal  near  Alca- 
Iraz  Island;  the  shoals  at  the  en- 
trance of  Raccoon  Straits  and  other 
shoals  within  the  strait  itself. 

These  improvements,  when  com- 
pleted, will  make  the  deplh  in  the 
inner  bay  of  San  Francisco  as  great 
as  the  main  channel  outside  the 
('.olden  Gate,  which  the  Government 
has  just  completed,  and  in  effect  will 
remove  the  last  vestige  of  danger  to 
the  largest  ships  afloat.  Navigators 
of  these  entering  the  Golden  Gale, 
even  in  heavy  fog.  will  be  confronted 
with  no  other  obstruction  than  Al- 
calraz  Island.

ment of  W.  Irving  Glover,  sec- 
ond assistant  postmaster  gen- 
eral, at  a  luncheon  in  his  hon- 
or by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce last  Monday. 

Mr.  Glover  spoUe  enthusias- 
tically of  the  great  changes 
that  have  taken  place  in  Sun 
Francisco  since  his  last  visit  a 
few  years  ago,  and  gave  it  as 
his  opinion  that  officials  in

opportunity  of  coming  West

remarltable  development  here 
Iiave  no  conception  of  the

HAWAIIAN  PINEAPPLE  COM 
PANY,  Ltd.,  packers  of  pineapple 
products,  with  head  sales  office  at 
2\b  Market  Street,  is  rebuilding  and 
making  improvements  in  its  factory 
in  Honolulu,  Hawaii,  by  constructing 
new  sugar  mill,  power  hou.sc,  drier 
building,  and  installing  new  machin- 
ery, which  will  increase  facilities 
considerably  and  take  care  of  future 
expansions.  Products  of  this  con- 
cern have  a  nation-wide  distribution. 
HILL.  HUBHELL  &  CO.,  niaimfac- 
lurer  of  paints  and  varnishes  for  all 
purposes,  with  headquarters  office  at 
115  Davis  Street,  has  found  it  neces- 
sary, on  account  of  limited  space  in 
its  factory  at  the  corner  of  Army 
Street  and  San  Bruno  Avenue,  to  con- 
struct an  additional  one-story  con- 
crete factory  building  on  these  prem- 
ises, containing  5,200  square  feel,  for 
the  manufacture  of  varnish.  It  is 
expected  this  additional  building  will 
be  ready  for  occupancy  January  15. 
1927,  and  it  is  estimated  this  expan- 
sion will  increase  facilities  100  per 
rent  in  the  manufacture  of  varnish 
alone.  This  concern  has  sales 
branches  in  Seattle,  Portland.  Los 
.\ngelcs,  New  York,  and  also  has  a 
factory  in  Tulsa,  Okla.  Products  of 
Ibis  concern  have  nation-wide  distri- 
bution. 

GOBLIN  Or!.\NGE  PRODUCTS 
COMPANY,  98fi  Harri.son  Street,  has 
recently  expanded,  having  leased  the 
one-story  and  mezzanine  floor  build- 
ing at  the  above  address,  which  gives 
three  times  as  much  space  as  in  the 
former  location  at  225  Leavenworth 
.Street.  This  concern  is  in  the  busi- 
ness of  extracting  juice  from  fruit 
such  as  oranges,  pomegranates, 
strawberries,  and  grapes;  products 
being  sold  under  the  name  of  "Gob- 
lin." New  machinery  has  been  in- 
stalled for  extracting  the  fruit  juice, 
and  this  concern  specializes  in  pure 
orange  juice  and  orange-ade.  The 
plant  is  operated  similarly  to  a  dairy 
in  that  the  orange  juice  is  delivered 
fresh  every  morning  to  schools,  cafe- 
terias, hospitals  and  hotels  in  San 
Francisco,  Oakland,  Alameda,  Pied- 
mont, and  Berkeley.  This  concern  is 
contemplating  the  daily  distribution 
of  the  orange-ade  and  pure  orange 
juice  in  small  bottles  to  homes  in  the 
same  manner  as  milk  is  distributed.

refinanced  in  order  to  distribute  its 
product  more  widely.  It  is  estimated 
this  new  location  at  the  above  ad- 
dress will  increase  the  facilities  500 
per  cent.  This  concern  distributes 
its  products  to  builders  and  plumb- 
ers, serving  the  Western  States,  and 
exporting  to  Honolulu,  Australia,

GREAT  BRITAIN 

Willi  I«»wcr  fuel  costs  impending  as  ii  re- 
sult of  the  Icrminalion  of  Hip  coal  strike, 
an  industrial  speed-up  is  now  getting  under 
way  to  fill  accrued  orders  which  are  con- 
sidered sufficient  in  the  engineering,  steel 
and  metal  traties  to  absorb  several  months' 
continuous  output.  However,  operations  are 
still  handicapped  by  high  coal  and  raw  ma- 
terial prices;  uncertainty  of  normal  sup- 
plies, due  largely  tcrcoal  car  disorganization; 
heavy  overdrafts  by  many  of  the  works,  re- 
sulting in  a  shortage  of  credit  for  expan- 
sion of  industrial  activity,  and  the  diversion 
of  orders  to  foreign  markets. 

The  iron  and  steel  trades  have  continucil 
to  produce  only  in  very  limited  volumes, 
but  the  improving  fuel  supply  is  relieving 
the  tension  and  every  effort  is  being  made 
to  resume  normal  production. 

FRAN'CB 

Premier  I'oinciire  lias  stated  lliat  the  for- 
eign currencies  acquired  by  the  government 
througli  cash  payments  arc  sufficient  to 
meet  foreign  debt  maturities  tlirough  the 
year  1927.  It  is  also  announced  tliat  the 
treasury  will  reimburse  by  the  end  of  the 
year  2.000,000,000  francs  of  the  advance  from 
the  Bank  of  France.  The  October  output  of 
both  iron  and  steel  established  a  new  month- 
ly record,  willi  a  production  of  810,000  met- 
ric tons  of  pig  iron  and  742.000  metric  tons 
of  steel    ingots  and   castings. 

ITALY 

(lovernmenl  finance  continues  to  dominate 
Italian  affairs.  The  consolidation  of  the  in- 
ternal debt  into  perpetual  holdings  has  at- 
tracted widespread  attention  and  has  created 
a  tone  of  confidence  in  the  government  fi- 
nancial situation.  Credit  stringency  still  pre- 
vails and  all  classes  of  business  have  been 
affected  by  the  scarcity  of  money.  Extreme 
caution  characterizes  the  general  business 
situation  and  interests  are  slow  to  make  new 
commitments,  but  despite  all  this  there  is 
little  evidence  of  a  further  decline  in  indus- 
trial activity. 

JAPAN 
Preliminary  totals  of  Japan's  foreign  trade 
for  November  revejil  an  import  gain  and  de- 
cline in  exports,  compared  .with  the  previous 
month.  Exports  totaled  177,000.000  yen 
against  1»1,800,000  yen  in  October,  while  im- 
ports amounted  to  156.600,000  yen  in  Novem- 
ber and  142,100,000  yen  in  the  preceding 
month.  (The  average  value  of  the  yen  was 
48.66  cents  in  October  and  49.07  cents  in 
November.)  Tlie  excess  of  exports  for  No- 
vember, amounting  to  21,000,000  yen,  reduced 
Japan's  unfavorable  balance  of  trade  for 
the  first  eleven  months  of  this  year  to  Ti?,- 
900,000  yen.  The  unsatisfactory  showing  in 
exports  is  attributable  to  smaller  shipments 
of  raw  silU  at  low  prices,  while  higher  ex- 
change lates  stimulated  impoi-ts.  The  prin- 
cipal features  of  the  November  import  trade 
were  gains  in  raw  cotton,  iron  and  steel 
products,  machinery  and  nil  cake. 


AUSTRIA 

Long  agitation  on  the  part  of  bujdness  in- 
terests in  Austria  for  the  establishment  of 
export  credit  facilities  has  now  brought  re- 
sults in  the  form  of  a  project  to  eslabllsh 
a  private  stock  company  with  a  preliminary 
capital  of  5,000,000  schillings  (?71.1.000).  The 
government  will  not  participate  in  the  pro- 
p<.sed  undertaking.  It  is  anticipated  in  Aus- 
tria that  20  to  25  per  cent  of  individual  risks 
will  be  carried  by  the  company  itself  and 
by  local  insurance  companies,  with  75  to  8li 
per  cent  of  the  risk  reinsured  with  foreign 
companies;  risks  will  be  restricted  to  mer- 
chandise transactions  and  will  not  apply  1" 
shipments  lo  Russia. 

FINLAND 

<ieiurai  trade  is  still  quite  active,  espe- 
cially in  the  export  industries.  Lumber 
>alcs  for  Ihe  coming  year  continue  to  be 
lively,  and  present  conditions  in  the  market 
show  further  improvement.  The  sales  for 
Ihe  present  year  totaled  2.009.700.000  board 
feet   nn  November   \h. 

NORWAY 

.Vgricullurisls  are  voicing  dissatisfaction 
with  the  unfavorable  financial  conditions 
under  which  they  arc  forced  to  labor.  Many 
meetings  have  been  recently  held  by  farmer 
organizations  and  discussions  have  centered 
around  the  advisability  of  requesting  legis- 
lative relief.  Tlie  difficult  position  in  which 
the  Norwegian  farmer  has  been  during  the 
last  few  years  was  intensified  by  the  recent 
sudden  appreciation  of  the  crown  and  a 
feeling  that  relief  was  needed  became  quite 
general  at  once. 

SWEDEN 

.Swedish  economic  conditions  were  satis- 
factory during  October.  Tlie  money  market 
became  more  firm  as  a  result  of  the  seasonal 
demand  for  money  and  the  considerable  ex- 
portation of  capital,  the  dollar  exchange  rate 
continued  to  rise  and  price  levels  continued 
their  upward  trend.  Domestic  business 
was  only  moderately  active.  The  paper  in- 
dustry is  confronted  with  an  uncertain  de- 
nnuid  and  prices  have  registered  a  slight  in- 

D  EN  MARK 

The  parliamentary  election  heFd  on  De- 
cember 2  was  a  victory  for  the  Liberal  and 
Conservative  parties.  The  defeated  cabinet 
resigned  on  the  following  day.  It  is  said  in 
Denmark  that  one  of  the  first  problems  that 
will  confront  the  new  Parliament  is  the 
future  program  nf  the  Landmansb:nik. 
which  has  long  experienced  considerable  dif- 
ficulty. It  is  expected  locally  that  the 
Danish  crowii  will  return  to  the  gold  staiul- 
ardon  January  1,  1937. 

RUMANIA 

The  stabilization  in  the  near  future  of  Hi.- 
leu  exchange  now  is  being  seriously  dis- 
cussed and  this  is  considered  a  factor  in 
maintaining  the  present  high  rate  of  180  lei 
to  the  dollar.  According  to  semi-official 
information,  the  state  budget  for  the  fiscal- 
calendar  year  of  1927  is  estimated  at  34,000.- 
000,000  lei,  wliich  represents  an  increase  ol 
5,500,000,000  lei  (about  20  per  cent)  over  tlie 
budget  for  192G.  The  budget  for  1927  doe.v 
not  include  the  revenues  and  expenditures 
of  tlie  state  railroads.  State  revenues  for 
the  first  nine  months  of  1920  are  reported 
to  have  totaled  20,189,000,000  Ici,  exceeding 
tlie  budgetary  estimates  for  this  period  by 
more  than  1,130,000,000  lei,  and  the  actual 
revenues  for  tlie  same  period  ui  1925  by 
more  than  .1,000,000,000  lei.  or  about  IS  per 
cent. 

SOUTH  AFRICA 
Business  conditions  generally  in  South 
Africa  are  steadily  improving  and  the  retail 
holiday  trade  is  very  satisfactory.  Tlie  usual 
seasonal  inactivitj'  characterizes  the  mine- 
buying  situation.  Statistics  of  merchandise 
imports  during  the  first  six  months  of  1920 
show  a  valuation  increase  of  £2,500,000  ovei 
tliat  for  the  same  period  of  1925.  The  value 
of  the  six  months'  exports  of  this  year  wn\ 
£!H10.000  greater.

the  fair  and  that  moie  lh:in  S,2Uti

The  exact  <l:ilc  of  the  first  Leip- 
ziy  fair  cannot  be  determined,  but  il 
is  mentioned  in  documents  as  early 
as  the  twelfth  century,  :ind  since  thai 
time  il  lias  cnjoved  a  steady  growth. 
lU-cords  show  that  in  17()8,  8,U81  for- 
eign merchants  visited  the  fair;  in 
177!)  this  number  was  increased  to 
8,257:  in  1789  lo  9.021);  in  1799  to 
9.220;  in  1809  to  10.47:1;  in  1819  to 
22.949;  in  1829  to  27.844.  and  in  1839

Wallachians.  Kussians.  .Vrmeiiians. 
Hungarians,  Turks  and  Indians,  en-

the  fairs  in  these  early  days. 

Before  the  war  the  Leipzig  sample 
fair  was  the  only  fair  with  an  inlei- 
nalional  reputation,  the  other  great 
fairs  in  the  history  of  commerce 
which  for  centuries  had  been  the 
centers  of  the  world's  industries  hav- 
ing gone  out  of  existence  with  the 
advancement  of  modern  means  of 
communication  and  the  change  in  in- 
dustrial customs.  Its  amazing  growth 
in  the  la.st  two  decades  is  proof  of  its 
significance  in  the  world  of  com- 
merce. M  the  present  time  the  Leip- 
zig fair  is  recognized  as  unitiue  be- 
cause of  its  really  international  :ind 
universal  character.  It  has  always 
exercised  a  powerful  itttraction  foi- 
the  industrial  communities  of  all 
parts  of  the  world  because  of  its 
strategic  location  at  the  junction  of 
the  two  roads  uniting  the  south  of 
Europe  with  the  north,  and  the  west 
with  the  east. 

There  is  available  for  exhibition 
purposes  at  the  Leipzig  fair  a  total 
gross  space  of  approximately  300.000 
square  metres  in  about  100  buildings.

Maiiufatturrrs  uf  Iwots  mid  shncs,  dn  goods 
and  clothiiiK  also  n-port  an  incnase  in  busi- 
ness, due  mainly  to  the  coming  lioliday  sea- 
son.* The  imporliition  of  Japiunso  oranges 
into  Canada  for  the  Cl»ristnias  season  has 
iH-rn  larger  this  year  than  in  any  previous 
yenr.  I^sl  week  over  11.000.000  oranges  ar- 
rival at  Victoria  and  were  immediately 
shipped  across  (he  continent  for  consump- 
tion in  the  Eastern  markets. 

GREAT  BRITAIN 
The  removal,  effective  December  i:{,  of  re- 
strictions on  the  export  of  coke  and  anthra- 
cite coal  ends  these  restrictions  on  all  coal, 
those  pertaining  to  overseas  shipments  of 
soft  coal  having  been  taken  off  on  December 
9.  An  increasing  number  of  ships  are  load- 
ing coal  for  export,  whereas  there  is  a  heavy 
decline  In  the  volume  of  foreign  coal  ar- 
rivals and  many  cancellations  are  reported 
na  domestic  supplies  become  available.  It 
is  estimated  that  800.000  ceal  miners  arc  now 
working,  and  it  is  thought  in  England  that 
(he  number  will  increase  to  about  900.000  by 
the  end  of  the  year.  A  total  of  2^4.000  tons 
»f  coal  was  produced  during  the  week  ended 
Novemlwr  27.  TJie  temporary  difficulty  in 
obtaining  a  suffieii-nt  number  of  coal  cars, 
owing  to  the  inward  movement  of  foreign 
fuel,  is  expected  in  i:nglan<l  to  diminish  as 
the  flow  of  trade  becomes  more  nearly  nor- 
mal. Tlie  number  of  unemployed  on  Noveni- 
l>er  20.  exclusive  of  the  coal-niining  industry. 
was  1,496,100  persons,  as  compared  with 
1.511.700  on  November  22.  and  1.227.000  at  the 
end  of  November.  1923. 

BELGIUM 
Tliere  is  great  satisfaction  in  Hel(;iuni  over 
llic  favorable  showing  matle  in  foreign  trade 
during  October.  For  the  first  time  exports 
exceeded  imports.  Imports  were  valued  at 
1.900,000,000  francs  and  exports  at  2.053.000.- 
000  francs,  giving  an  export  surplus  of  8  per 
rent,  as  compared  with  a  deficit  of  23  per 
L-ent  in  OclolK-r  of  last  year.  On  a  quantity 
basis,  exports  in  October  of  this  year  also 
showed  a  very  marked  increase  over  exports 
a  year  before,  while  imports  remained  on 
practically  the  sinne  level. 
FRANCE 
Business  in  France  is  eiiterinj;  a  period  of 
depression  as  a  result  of  the  franc  recovery, 
thus  reversing  conditions  which  prevailed 
during  the  period  when  the  currency  was 
depreciating.  Increasing  evidences  of  a 
slackening  in  industry  are  observed.  Buyers 
in  the  textile,  iron  and  steel,  leather  and 
other  lines  arc  withholding  purchases  in  an- 
ticipation of  the  inevitable  drop  in  prices. 
Heavy  cancellations  have  occurred  with  re- 
spect to  orders  for  luxury  goods.  The  export 
demand  for  French  merchandise  has  like- 
wise fallen  off  heavily.  Retailers  and  pro- 
ducers arc  offering  price  reductions  in  an 
effort  to  revive  buying.  The  government  is 
urged  by  business  interests  to  study  means 
for  checking  a  further  rapid  revalorization 
of  the  franc.  However,  parliamentary  sup- 
port of  the  Poincare  ministry  continues 
strong  and  the  government  announcements 
regarding  general  conditions  remain  opti- 
mistic. The  government  states  that  advances 
to  the  treasury  by  the  Bank  of  France  will 
be  decreased  by  2,000,000.000  francs  by  the 
end  of  this  year  and  that  exchange  in  hand 
is  sufficient  to  meet  foreign  maturities  to 
the  end  of  1927.  Tax  returns  continue  to  be 
siitisfactory.  Unemployment,  although  by  no 
means  serious  as  yet.  is  growing.  Due  prin- 
cipally to  old  orders,  iron  and  steel  produc- 
tion continues  on  a  record  level,  but  current 
buying  for  foreign  and  domestic  account  is 
contracting  sharply.  <k)al  production  in  Oc- 
tober reached  a  new  record  level.  Conditions 
in  the  textile  industry  are  described  as 
critical  and  the  leather  industry  is  prac- 
tically at  a  standstill.  Automobile  plants  arc 
reported  to  be  curtailing  production  and 
laying  off  employees. 

GERMANY 

The    progress    in    tlic    German    industrial 

position    which    was    noticeable   in    October 

was  further  marke<l  during  November.  How- 


ever, the  end  of  seasonal  agrlcultunil  activ- 
ity brought  to  a  stop  the  slow  but  steady 
decrease  in  the  nund>er  of  unemploye*! 
which  had  been  evident  during  the  past  two 
or  three  months.  II  is  said  in  Germany  to 
appear  likely  that  the  unemployment  curve 
will  agJiin  be  on  the  upgrade  during  the 
'  winter  months.  The  Reichsbank  shitemeni 
i.r  the  end  of  the  month  showed  a  decline 
in    the    v<.lume    of    its    loans    and    dl.scounts. 


C.ofC.  Endorses  Bill 

I  cnntinuH  from  pane  I  I 
ToiiKress  of  the  liiited  Slat«'s  pasws  an  ap- 
propriation for  the  building  of  a  dam  suffi- 
cient in  size  to  store  20.000,000  acre  feet  of 
water.  Arizona  withholds  her  approval  I" 
bargain  for  gn-atcr  benefits  in  water  and 
power  than  (jdifomta  can  equitably  grant. 
II  is  siKnificanl  that  nom-  of  the  seven  states 
object  to  the  text  or  provisions  <»f  the  Colo- 
rado Compact,  lids  wiis  the  first  really  con- 
structive  step   taken. 

All  interestwlparlies  appear  to  agree  that 
Ihe  next  great  step  is  the  construction  of  a 
dam  somewhere  Iwtween  the  upper  and 
lower  basins  in  the  main  stream  of  the  Colo- 
rado River.  The  amended  Swing-Johnson 
bill  provides  for  Ihe  building  of  such  a  dam 
lit  locates  the  site  al  Boulder  Cjinyonl.  out- 
lines a  financial  setup,  covers  the  sale  of 
water  for  generating  power  or  tin'  building 
of  a  power  plant.  Ilie  power  may  be  sold 
to  distributing  agencies.  It  determines  the 
general  charactt-r  of  a  dam  sufficient  in 
capacity  to  impound  at  least  20.000.000  acre 
feet.  It  also  recites  that  work  shall  not  pro- 
ceed except  in  accordance  with  provisions 
of  the  Colorado  River  Comp»ct.  and  then 
only  after  the  adherence  of  at  least  six  of 
Ihe  seven  states.  In  its  present  form  it  gives 
to  the  upper  basin  states  what  they  want: 
namely,  protection  against  the  establishment 
of  priority  rights  to  the  use  of  an  excessive 
amount  of  water  by  the  lower  basin  states — 
water  which  the  upper  basin  states  may  re- 
quire for  irrigation  and  for  their  develop- 
ment program  in  the  immediate  or  distant 
future.  It  gives  the  lower  basin  slates  water 
for  irrigation  and  domestic  use  and  power, 
and  protection  against  flfHids  and  silt  de- 
posit. It  is  estimated  that  the  sale  of  the 
power  will  pay  all  interest  charges  and  build 
a  fund  for  Ihe  amorli/ation  of  the  Imnds  is- 
sued to  raise  money  for  construcli<in.  Alt 
Colorado  Kiver  water  now  used  in  Imperial 
Valley  flows  in  canals  which  run  into  Mex- 
ico and  back  into  the  I'nited  States.  There 
is  now  an  inlernalional  agreement  whereby 
each  nation  reserves  the  right  to  Ihe  use  of 
.'lO  per  cent  of  the  water  flowing  into  Mex- 
ico. It  seems  unfair  for  this  arrangement  to 
prevail  if  the  proposed  dam  is  constructed 
without  cost  to  Mexico,  and  the  Swing-,John- 
son  bill  therefore  provides  for  the  building 
of  an  all-American  canal  in  the  event  that 
Mexico  refuses  to  amend  her  agreement  with 
the  United  States  under  which  she  now  en- 
joys one-half  of  all  wali-r  flowing  thrnugit 
her  territory.  The  amended  Swing-Johnson 
bill  therefore  is  the  second  great  forward 
step  in  the  solution  of  the  Colorado  River 
problem.  The  terms  of  the  Colorado  River 
Compact  meet  the  approval  of  six  of  the 
seven  states  and  will  become  binding  upon 
all  six  immediately  after  the  passage  of  the 
Swing-Johnson  Iiill.  Arizona  may  join  at  her 
pleasure  and  thereby  secure  her  fair  share 
of  all  the  benefits,  privileges  and  protection 
with  each  of  the  other  states  parties  to  the 
compact. 

The  upper  basin  states  have  not  as  yet 
met  for  the  purpose  of  apportioning  their 
7.500,000  acre  feet  of  water  awarded  to 
them  by  the  compact. 

Tlie  lower  basin  states  attempted  to  per- 
fect a  tri-statc  agreement  in  l>ecember,  192,">. 
Up  to  date  they  have  been  unable  to  arrive 
at  a  satisfactory  distribution.  It  would  seem, 
however,  that  this  should  not  delay  the 
passage  of  the  Swing-Johnson  bill,  since 
^200,000,000  of  property  in  the  delta  region 
of  Arizona  and  California  is  endangered  by 
flood  each  recurring  summer,  and  each 
community  is  expending  great  sums  of 
money  annually  for  temporary  protection. 
Under    the    present    system,    without   storage 


control  during  Ihe  dry  seasons,  there  Is  not 
enough  watir  for  nei>ded  Irrigation,  and 
crops  suffer  corresijondingly.  During  flood 
periods  the  flow  is  Increased  from  2,000  sec- 
ond feet  to  as  high  as  200.000  second  feet. 
Ixvees  must  lie  increased  in  height  con- 
tinually to  keep  pace  with  the  silt  deposit 
which  is  consUinlly  raising  the  bed  of  tbt 
river  channels.  Every  year  recurrent  floods 
threaten  destruction. 

Tlie  Imperial  Valley,  lying  from  sea  level 
!«  2.10  feet  below  sea  level,  will  be  perma- 
nently riofKled  for  generations  to  come  if 
the  C«ilnrado  should  seriously  break  through 
the  protecting  levees.  With  the  construction 
provided  under  the  Swing-Johnson  bill  then 
would  be  a  rrgulateil  flow  which  would  re- 
lieve the  great  nieiuice  of  floorl  and  shortagi 
and  provide  water  for  irrigation  and  domes- 
tic use.  Tlie  great  and  difficult  problems  of 
the  Colorathi  have  been  solved,  but  not  put 
into  execution.  It  remains  for  a  few  repre- 
sentatives of  Arizona  and  California  to  sit 
down  together  In  friendly  conference  to  ap- 
portion fairly  and  equitably  their  joint  shar.- 
of  the  waters  of  and  the  power  developed 
under  the  provisions  of  the  Colorado  River 
Compact.  Unfortunately,  petty  politics,  cen- 
tered principally  In  the  delta  refcion.  bavi- 
entered  into  Ibis  problem. 

Criminations  and  recriminations  have 
cloufled  the  nuiln  issues.  When  analyzed, 
these  personal  attacks  and  counter  attack^ 
are  shown  to  have  no  substantial  bearing 
upon  the  problems  of  the  Cxtlorado  in  their 
larger  aspect.  Tliey  app<-ar  to  be  made  t<. 
arouse  public  sentiment,  but  they  are  entire- 
ly unnecessary,  and  many  of  them  are  not 
founded  up«in  fact.  Dealings  in  personalities 
therefore  shouhl  be  relegated  lo  their  proper 
place  in  the  discard. 

It  has  taken  a  tremendous  anioimt  of  time 
and  lalxir  to  Iron  out  the  contentions  of  in- 
terested parties  in  Ihe  various  slates.  At  the 
recent  regional  conference  of  the  National 
Chamber  of  Commerce  In  Colorado  Springs 
only  one  objection  was  raised  to  the  amend- 
ed Swlng-Iohnson  bill-  it  n-ferred  to  th- 
right  of  the  Secrehiry  of  the  Interior  to  makp 

stalled  by  private  interosls. 

F.xcepI  for  the  foregoing  objection  and  tlie 
tlifferences  between  Arizona  and  California 
regarding  (heir  respective  claims  for  water 
an<l  power,  all  interested  parties  are  In  ac- 
cord. .\fter  all  the  involved  problems  have 
been  settled;  after  the  years  of  labor  given 
freely  by  public-spirited  citizens;  after  the 
mass  of  engineering  reports  and  recom- 
mendations have  been  studied,  mastered  ami 
c<i-ordinated,  and  in  recognition  of  the  con- 
stantly recurring  peril  to  the  properly  of 
thousands  of  our  citizens,  it  appears  a  crime 
to  delay  the  enactment  of  legislation  whicli 
would  bring  about  a  solution  of  this  Involved 
problem.  Differences  of  opinion  regarding 
Western  measures  can  rarely  be  settled  in 
Washington.  They  should  be  met  squarely 
in  free,  frank  and  friendly  interchange  of 
views  and  settled  in  the  interests  of  all  con- 
cerned. Then,  with  a  united  front,  we  of  the 
W'est  may  go  forward  and  secure  our  fair 
share  of  favorable  legislation  from  the  Con- 
gress of  the  United  Sates. 

Apparently  oidy   two  steps   remain   to  be 

First — The  amentled  Swing-Johnson  bill 
should  be  passed  by  the  present  session  of 
the  Congress  of  the  United  States:  if  H  will 
not  endanger  the  passage  of  the  bill  at  the 
present  session  the  bill  should  be  modified 
so  as  to  overcome  the  objection  referring  1<i 
the  making  of  a  common  carrier  of  trans- 
Second— After  the  passage  of  the  Swing- 
Johnson  bill  a  conference  of  representatives 
of  business  and  other  interests  of  Arizona 
an<l  California  should  be  held  to  discuss  and 
agree  upon  the  respective  claims  of  Arizona 
and  Califoniia  for  water  and  power  distri- 
bution. In  the  event  of  the  conference  fail- 
ing in  its  purpose  the  questions  to  be  aottled 
by  arbitration 

Tliese  suggestions  appear  fair  and  reason-

Through  eflort.s  of  (h<!  Sun 
l-'rancisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce and  other  civic  bodies, 
tlie  completion  of  the  Victory 
Highway,  which  leads  directly 
to  San  Francisco,  is  virtually 
assured.  Twenty-five  thousand 
dollars  has  been  secured  in 
the  San  Francisco  Uay  district, 
which  sum  was  neede<l  to  com- 
])Iete  the  financing  of  the  bal- 
ance of  the  road  construction 
in  Nevada.  San  Francisco  will 
now  have  another  transconti- 
nental road  lending  direct  to 
the  city,  over  which,  it  is  esti- 
mated, thousands  of  automo- 
bile tourists  will  travel  annu- 
ally. 


ancisco's  Outlook  for  1927 


SAX  FRANCISCO  is  finishing  a  satisfactory  year,  willi  cvt'ry 
promise  of  continued  progress  and  prosperity  for  1927.  In 
and  aljout  the  city  there  are  piiysical  evidences  of  confi- 
dence. 

Our  financial  institutions  are  in  splendid  condition. 

Our  investment  institutions  have  enjoyed  the  heaviest  busi- 
ness in  their  history.  Other  than  the  disturbance  in  the  building 
trades,  there  has  been  no  important  cloud  in  the  sky. 

Shipping  througii  the  Port  of  San  Francisco  has  increased  in 
a  very  satisfactory  degree. 

Reports  indicate  a  fine  retail  trade  during  the  holiday  season. 

Rains  iiave  l)een  plentiful  and  agricidtura!  conditions 
throughout  the  state  promise  well  for  1927.  The  barometers  of 
trade  throughout  the  country  reflect  an  optimistic  feeling. 

The  people  of  San  F"rancisco  are  ahve  to  tlie  growing  impor- 
tance of  this  city  as  a  financial  and  shipping  center  for  the  most 
favored  agricultural  region  in  the  world. 

Our  people  are  giving  thought  to  civic  problems  arising  from 
the  growth  of  the  community. 

The  people  of  San  Francisco  are  developing  a  fine  spirit  of 
co-operation  in  all  public  movements.  Our  relations  with  the 
other  cities  and  communities  on  the  Pacific  Coast  are  most  cor- 
dial and  co-operative.  We  may  look  back  with  some  pride  to  the 
accomplishments  and  progress  of  192(),  and  our  people  have 
every  reason  to  look  forward  to  1927  as  a  happy  and  prosperous 
New  Year.

Bakersfield  Hopes  to  Rival 

Truckee  with  Winter  Sports 


The  Kern  Sports  Club  of 
Bakersfield'  is  sponsoring  its 
second  Winter  Sports  Carnival, 
to  be  held  on  Mt.  Brcckenridge, 
3G  miles  east  of  Bakersfield,  on 
Sunday.  January  30,  1927. 

The  scene  of  the  snow  sports 
is  Mill  Meadow,  at  6,050  feet 
elevation,  and  is  accessible  by 
auto.  There  is  a  small  natural 
ice  rink  for  ice  skating.  The 
meadow  is  in  the  form  of  a 
natural  amphitheater,  with 
mountains  rising  around  it  to 
7.500  feet.  Natural  toboggan 
slides  are  numerous,  and  pos- 
sibitities  for  skiing  unlimited.

part  in  the  snow  sports.  More 
detailed  information  may  be 
obtained  by  communicating 
with  Wren  Middlebrook.  secre- 
tary Kern  Sports  Club,  Bakers- 
field,   Calif. 

This  is  an  entirely  new  field 
of  sports  for  Bakersfield,  and 
the  local  civic  organizations 
and  service  clubs  are  boosting 
to  make  the  coming  snow  car- 
One  of  the  natural  advan- 
tages of  the  Bakersfield  snow 
sports   is   that  the  snow  fields 


iire  open  all  the  winter  season. 
Sportsmen  may  leave  Bakers- 
field after  breakfast,  I'cach  the 
lop  of  Mt.  Brcckenridge  with- 
in two  hours*  driving  time, 
spend  the  day  engaging  in 
winter  spurts  and  return  to 
Bakersfield  for  dinner. 

Bakersfield's  enthusiasts  are 
endeavoring  to  develop  a  win- 
ter sports  team  to  participate 
in  events  at  Arrowhi-ad  and 
Truckee. 

The  depth  of  snow  reported 
in  Mill  Meadow  at  the  present 


r:STKn\  business  has 
just  taken  a  long  step 
in  rr;iclnng  out  into 
Ihe  great  Pacific  area. 
That  step  was  taken  at  the 
fourth  annual  nn'd-year  meet- 
ing of  Ul<-  W«-stern  Division. 
Liifted  Slalts  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. It  was  in  the  action  of 
the  Western  Division  voting 
unanimously  to  hohl  its  fifth 
mid-year  meeting  at  Ibmolnlu. 
capital  of  Hawaii.  Lnele  Sam's 
outpost    territory.

States.  And  it  is  significant 
that  this  first  time  should  be

of  the  Western  Division.  It  was 
regarded,  in  the  procedure  of 
till  .National  Chamber  of  Coni- 
I1ICICI-.  as  virtually  foreign  ter- 
ritory. This  was  from  no  lack 
of  knowledge  of  the  political 
status  of  the  islands,  nor  I'rom 
lack  of  appreciation  of  th<- 
fact  that  American  business- 
modern  American  business — is 
dominant  in  the  territory.  Tin- 
distinction  drawn  between  tin- 
island  chambers  and  those  oi 
mainland  United  States  was 
the    distinction    of    geography. 

And  now  it  is  this  very  fad 
of  geography  that  has  been  a 
powerful  influence  in  deciding 
the  Western  Division  to  go  to 
Honolulu    in    the    fall    of    1927. 

The  geography  of  tlie  Pacific

the  "Pacific  Area."  Honolulu  is

III'  the  worid'.s  population,  is 
esseiitiiilly  a  part  of  the  West's 
traiie  territory  and  essentially 
a  part  i.f  the  W'.f  -  ttAtle  (op- 
portunity. And  tl»ere  is  plenty 
of  good  evidence  to  show  that 
intirwoven  with  these  facts  of 
trade  and  commerce  are  facts 
pnlilical  and  civic  with  direct 
hearing  on  the  present  and  fu- 
ture trade  of  the  western  luisi- 

\Ve  of  Hawaii  think,  natur- 
ally, in  international  terms, 
l.ivins  at  the  "Cross-Roads  of 
tlie  Pacific"— a  comparatively 
small  connnunity  squarely  in 
th»'  path  of  many  great  trade 
routes— international  facts  are 
brought  daily  before  us.  The 
merchants  and  the  diplomats 
and  the  scientists  and  the  edu- 
cators of  many  nations  pass 
t)n-(tugb  our  gates,  going  east 
<)r  going  west.  Many  of  them 
slop  awhile.  Our  own  perma- 
nent iHipnIation  is  a  highly  cos- 
mopolitan one.  Our  contacts 
an-  constantly  with  the  Orient, 
with  Australia  and  New  Zea- 
land, and  the  isles  of  the  South 
Seas,  though  our  main  trade  is 
with  c^.ntinental  United  Stat.s 
and  our  dominant  note  is  that 
of  Americanism. 

Living  thus,  thinking  thus, 
seeing  thus,  our  thoughts  logi- 
cally turn  upon  the  rapid  de- 
velopment of  the  Pacific  area, 
and  we  feel  that  this  develop- 
ment is  of  highest  significance 
to  .\mcricnn  business.  And  so 
we  have  felt  it  a  proper  ambi- 
tion to  ask  that  the  United 
States  (Chamber  of  Commerce 
turn   special   attention    to    this 


ihip  and  hotel  accom- 
modations are  ample,  with  the 
compb'tion  of  construction  now 
under  way.  And  railroads, 
steamer  lines  and  hotels  have 
4lone  tlieir  |Hut  by  offering 
substantially  re«luced  rates  to 
convention  delegittes  and  fami- 
lies traveling  with  them. 

l-acilities  will  be  complete 
for  the  iniportmit  business  ses- 
Nhnis  of  the  Western  Division. 
Nor  will  some  of  the  problems 
ami  subjects  liilhfrto  figuring 
in  the  mid-year  meetings  be 
precluded.  Iltit  it  is  probable 
that  Pacific  affairs  of  interna-

On  this  basis  we  sought  the

deeply  gratified  at  the  warmth

here  in  S;in  Francisco.  We 
have,  in  tin-  first  place,  a 
climate  that  makes  work  phiy. 
Manufacturers  state  that  fa- 
tigue due  tn  heat  as  is  found 
so  prevalent  in  the  Hast  is  un- 
known here,  becnuse  we  have 
no  heal.  In  the  winter  wc 
have  no  bliz7jirds,  with  frozen 
water  pipes  and  forced  shut- 
downs. Tlien.  too.  this  is  a 
natural  place  for  designing.  In 
other  wortls.  a  designer  does 
not  so  easily  get  the  sanu*  nat- 
ural spontaneous  results  de-

Ibe  climatic  conditions  have  a 
very  perceptible  effect  on  the 
results    obtained. 

One  rather  unfortunate  situ- 
ation still  exists,  however,  in 
the  matter  of  prejudice  against 
western-made  goods.  It  is  re- 
grettable that  the  prejudice  of 
some  women  buyers  makes  it 
necessary  for  onr  manufactur- 
er of  fine  bats  to  put  on  his 
Ial>els  "Paris"  and  "New  York"

maintains  offices  in  those
