be applied in the case of Siller Brothers.
From their employees they exact careful
and thorough work in every detail of
construction and finish. They must be
on hand on foundation or superstructure,
each alive and in his own place. There
is no lack of precision. no balk any
where.
In line with, but independent, of their
routine contract work. Siller Bros. con-
struct buildings upon their own lots
and dispose of them on such terms as
purchasers would have to pay for rent,
with small addition. 1t is q satisfaction
to them to realize that, while helping
themselves, of course, they nave III this
way helped many others to possess their
own homes.
! The new home of the Foresters is an
other emblem added to their laureis.
Other architects were consulted by COM
mittee from the Foresters, but the plans
and specifications prepared by Siller Bros.
were accepted and they were afterward
awarded the contract to erect this impos-
ing structure.
The building in it's entirety covers an
area of tiftyfive feet frontage by 120 feet
in depth. 1t is three stories in blight, and
besides the three lodge rooms and their
| necessary accessories. there are forty
three rooms for living purposes. The
main room which shall be used by the

the building and covers a dimension of
! tlity-four feet by forty-eight. The other
lodge rooms are situated on the ground
hoor and occupy space OF twenty-elght
! feet by forty-iour feet each. The extra
rooms, which embody two flats suites
and single, are unique in structure and
design from the fact that, while being ele
gantly finished, they form portion of
the building which in no manner can be
disturbed by the entrance or exit of MEM
bers of the traternal order.
The lodge rooms are magnificent in
point of convenience and design. Every
! facility is afforded fraternal organizations
to properly conduct their distinctive lines
OF routine work.
On the whole. the Foresters have rea-
son to be congratulated upon the selec-
ton OF this enterprising firm as con-
StructOrs of their new home. An elab-
crate description of the building is un-
necessary, for it has already been viewed
by many, and those who have not vis-
tied the premises, no doubt, prefer per-
sonal inspection to that which might be
given in these columns.
Siller Brothers have been prominently
identified with many other pretentious
structures, and are now preparing plans
| for the construction of an elegant three
story building to occupy the premises
located on the northwest corner Of Tenth
and Is streets, and owned by NJ. Cronan.
! The following contractors in their re-
spective lines acted under the jurisdic
ton of Siller Brothers:
PLUMBING, TIN ROOFING AND GALvAN-
IzED IRON WORK.
The plum bing and drainage, tin roofing
and galvanized iron work was executed
| by H. X. Wallace. All the work is well
done; it reflects great credit upon MIR.
| Wallace, and teStities to his capacity to
take and ill promptly all extensive con-
tracts. Whoever will take occasion,
whenever they enter the building, cannot
fail to realize the importance of this par
ticular factor toward the final success of
construction.
Mr.. Wallace makes a speciality of gall
vaniZed iron work, and has done more
work in this line than any other con-
tractor in Sacramento, and his judgment
in matters of this nature is considered
tirst-class. He employs none but the
best OF mechanics in the construction
OF various designs, and uses only ma
terial of the very finest quality. Intending
builders should not be amiss in calling
upon Mr. Wallace before consummation
OF any contract for this class of work.
THE PAINTING.
Krebs & Co. had charge of the entire
painting. In this particular line they
have been masters almost from the incip-
iency of their organization, and have
built up an excellent business by fidelity
to their custom, faithfulness to the trade,
and thoroughness in every undertaking.
They make a speciality of interior decor
ating, paper-hanging and finely executed
painting of interiors.
In and on many of the prominent
buildings in Sacramento their work ap-
pears. In the ForesteIs' Hall building
there is on every hand the witnesses to
the skill and the care and taste they ex-
ercise. The visitor will have no diff
Guilty whatever in judging Of the quality
of their painters by examination of the
work they have done upon this superb
structure.
PLASTERING.
This artistic and elegantly designed
portion Of the Foresters' new home was
executed and designed under the skill
and guidance of j. Kenealy, the we'll
known plasterer, whose office is located
at 1923 O street.
Every feature of the Workmanship
designates practical knowledge of the
| contractor, and fully demonstrates his
ability to beautify the exterior and in
| terror of buildings in most satisfactory
manner.
