Ono If the Marve1s of the Age.

The new home of the San Francisco CALL
will be one of the marvels of an age OF sky
scraping buildings. We present in this
issue a splendid picture of THE CALLS
coming home and an excellent likeness of
Charles NJ. Shortridge, proprietor of this
great Pacific daily.
Mr.. Shortridge will have an editorial
sanctum second to none in the country
and work in an office that, towering above
the buildings of his cities, will give
him a birdseye view OF his local news
field.
1t is merely a matter of months now
when Claus Spreckels magnificent fifteen
story building on the southwest corner OF
Market and Third streets will be COM
pleted. Then San Francisco will have one
of the greatest modern buildings on the
continent and THE CALL one of the hand
soonest and most complete homes IN the
newspaper world.
Several weeks ago the plans were ac-
cepted; some of the contracts have been
let and the preparatory work of clearing
the ground of its old structures is already
under way.
Tn exterior construction the new build
inc represents an immense but very beau
+ifn1Iv designed tower. The first three
stories form the base or pedestal.
These are treated in the massive style,
and built of granite, with bush-hammered
face. heavily rusticated courses and arched
openings for windows.
The next seven stories. being the body
or shaft of the tower, are very simple and
Main in treatment. Above them the or
namentation begins again, sparinglg at
first, but eliminating at the thlr1eentn
story in a richly carved and ornamental
frieze, which forms the setting lot the
massive cornice that surmounts IL.
The fourteenth story is treated IN
lighter design, being in effect coionnaoe
with pilasters between the many windows,
while the fifteenth story, being circular III
contour, forms the base for the beautliul
and imposing dome.
The dome rises As feet above its founda-
ton, and surmcunting the dome is

than a history building, for the enLre

is an elevation nearly double that reached
by the highest point of any other building
in San Francisco.
The architects have shown rare taste IN
their designs, and in all things they have
followed faithfully the classic rule to or

As a Tower on All Sides.

The announcement that Clans Spreckels
is about to erect on the corner of Third and
Market monumental building has ex-
cited much interest in this City. We do
not particularly admire the average ''sky-
seraper"-the usual American tall build
ing looks either like factory chimney or
gigantic dry-goods box--but there is no
doubt that the architectural treatment Sc
lected by Mr.. Spreckels' architects will
MAKE the building an ornament to the
City. tits to be treated as tower, and
rise to height of over two hundred feet.
1t is probable that the idea was suggested
by the building on lower Broadway, New
York City, known as the Tower Building.
But as that is merely on narrow lot in
the center of block, nothing but the
facade effect is given. The Spreckels build.
ing in San Francisco is apparently to be
treated as a tower on all sieds. 1t is rather
interesting to speculate as to what will be
the effect if other tall buildings are erected
on the south and west faces of the tower
in time to come.-The rgonaut.

A superior Establishment.

The San Francisco CALL, which, under
its new management, has come so rapidly
to the front in the journalism of that City,
will before long be housed in quarters
worthy of a first-class metropolitan daily.
1t will have accommodations in the
superb Spreckels building, soon to be
erected, the architects of which, Reid
Bros, designed the Coronado Hotel and
Portland Oregonian building. When THE
CALL is fairly installed in its new home its
establishment will be superior, it is said
to that of any newspaper in the United
States.-San Diego Union.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-23

that will be tall enough and fine enough to
contest the honors of superiority with the
handsomest and most imposing business
structures in the United States. Claus
Spreckels is about to erect a structure on
the corner of Market and Third streets
with framework of iron and facing of
brick and stone that may stand as a monu-
ment to his enterprise through the years
unless an earthquake shakes it down or a
fire burns it up. 1t is to be in exterior
construction an immense tower fifteen
stories high and surmounted by beauti-
full dome and lantern, its total height be-
ing 80 feet, an elevation nearly double
that of any other building in San Fran
cisco. The building is to be occupied by
THE CALL, and is intended to be the most
complete newspaper building in the world.
We congratulate that enterprising journal
on it's call to come up higher.-Portland

The Grandest of ALI.

The San Francisco CALL of August II
presents picture and full description of
the magnificent new building which it will
soon occupy at the corner of Market and
Third streets, in consequence of the en-
terprise OF Mr.. Claus Spreckels in erecting
such splendid specimen of architecture
The building will be fifteen stories with a
massive dome and cupola, and in style a
good deal of the appearance of the New
York World building. 1t will be the
largest and grandest structure on the Pa

San Francisco newspaper.-NewY York Ma

Taking Giant Strides.

The San Francisco CALL in its issue Of
the 18th inst. gives an illustration of its
new home, which is being built by Claus
Spreckels on the corner of Third and Mar
ket streets, opposite the Chronicle build
ing. 1t is to be fifteen stories high, and
when completed will tower 80 feet in the
air, or over 100 feet higher than any build
ing on the Pacific Coast. THE CALL is
taking giant strides in the race of progress
and is in harmony with the people on all
the important questions of the day. Sue

OF Principle and for the People.

The San Francisco CALL is having a
building built fifteen stories high. 1t will
be handsome building, as well as the
highest in the City. 1t will be 80 feet
high, with beautiful marble tower. 1t is
wonderful to think how THE CALL has adj
vanced in favor since Mr. Shortridge
bought it. 1t is decidedly the cleanest,
least sensational paper in the City. THE
CALL is paper of principle, one that you
can always tell where it stands. 1t is for
the people, and therefore is supported by
the people.-Corning Observer.

happy faculty of getting men around him

A Model of Clean journalism.

The San Francisco CALL is rapidly near
ing the front of the procession of metro
politan journals. In fact, it furnishes a
model for most of the great papers of
America. Its pages. while singdlarly free
from the sensational and odiously sug-
gestive literature of the average "great
daily" are yet replete with interest. THE
CALL has all the news and is edited and
published by men who thoroughly under
stand their business and the interests and
desires of the reading public. The new
CALL building to be erected at the corner
of Third and Market streets will be one of
the finest newspaper palaces in the United
States.-San Luis Obispo Breeze.

The Most COmplete.

Claus Spreckels will soon commence
the erection OF magnificent fifteen-story
building on the corner of Market and
Third streets, San Francisco. 1t will be of
white marble and is designed for the ac-
commodation of the San Francisco CALL.
Some of the contracts have already been
let and the work of clearing the ground for
the edifce has been commenced. When
completed this will be the finest business
structure in the United States and the
handsomest and completest newspaper
building in the world.-Orange Post.

An Imposing Home.

The San Francisco CALL is to have the
finest building on the Pacific Coast, and
one of the finest in the land. 1t is a mat
ter of congratulation for THE CALL that
one of the leading papers of the coast is to
have such magnificent and imposing

Ambition.

The rise of Charles Shortridge and his
brother Samuel M. Shortridge to almost
the zenith of power and influence, while
they are vet young men, is good illustra-
ton of the result of well-directed ambi-
ton. Their success is largely the result OF
cold deliberate planning. There is nothing
accidental about it. Samuel NJ. Shortridge,
as schoolteacher in Napa County, kept
ever in mind the fire and patriotism Of
Patrick Henry, the dignity OF Webster, the
kindly sympathy in the heart of Garfield.
Charles NJ. Shortridge has made rapid
strides the last few years. And he de-
serves more than passing notice, because
he gives character to THE CALL, and that,
in turn, gives character to the State.
There is nothing frivolous about THE CALL.
1t has something of the rugged strength of
Shortridge's father and mother; and his
ideas of right and wrong asa newspaper
proprietor are not subject to his present
environment at all. If they were THE CALL
would be weak imitation of the Examl-
ner, but they are the result of inheritance
THE CALL to-day is Western in color; it is
stamped with a strong individuality, and
that individuality a composite picture OF
the State. Mr.. Shortrldge nowhere shows
better judgment than in the selection OF his
