NOTES.
o. F. Won Rhein & Co, in a circular let
ter bearing date Of January 10Th, speak as
follows concerning san Francisco propertv
having a water frontage: The wealth
which bias come to many in this and other
cities, by the growth OF real estate values,
has not always been the result of superior
foresight. Unexpected and unforeseen events
have often forced business into new chan
nels and riches have come as a matter of
accident or luck, but since the location of
eity's water front is fixed and uuaterable.
and cannot be removed or increased
In quantity by human ingenuity or
skill II It were backed by the
wealth Of a Vanderbilt, aud since the bust
ness incidental to the shipping and trans
pOTtatiOn Of a great seaport is perhaps, the
most profitable In the world and can only
be done at the city's fTout-since such
uaffc must grow and expand as San Fran
cisco grows and develops it would seem TO
be as absolutely certain as any event can be
which has not already tTanspired, that
under the irresistible demands Of manufac-
turing, commercial, shipping and TRANSPORT
tatiOD interests, these very interests in the
near future Will be compelled, of necessity.
70 secure every one of the water blocks on
our list any price that the conscience of
the fortunate then owner Will permit him to
dictate"
