There is something suggestive of a southern
home in this floor plan, although it is built in
a northern city The large main room,
which extends the full length of the house,
the arrangement of rooms ON each side, the
broad expanse of porch in front, the wide,
low pitched roof, the kitchen extension in the
rear, all suggest the southern house.

And, to deal only with those

the sanitarlum of this continent.
Nature designed this San Anto-

WHAT SAN ANTONIO CAN BECOME.
San Antonio should become
just what her natural advantages
and resources, under a healthy
and wise development, will bring
her into. Beyond this she should
not endeavOr to go, as the reac-
ton which would inevitably fol-

to stop short of this would be to

San Antonio has made more
material progress during the year
now closing than any other city
in Texas, and at it's close she is
laying out more work, and is more
intelligently devising for it's exc
