The local artists are now ready to well
come a season of prosperity. They have
painted pictures and produced sketches
which will be displayed throughout the
holiday times at the Mark Hopkins Insti-
tute of Art. These pictures are to COM
pose the winter exhibition of the San
Francisco Art Association. The exhibi-
ton will be inaugurated Thursday even
ing next with reception for mem bers
only, but thereafter for five weeks the
doors of the institute will be open daily
between the hours of 8 A. NJ. and P. N.
Every Tuesday evening there will be
musical entertainment.
The main purpose of the exhibition is to
promote the prosperity OF Pacific Coast

sketches and pictures produced for this
special occasion the painters would put
the money in circulation again. They
would not invest the coin in foreign secur-
tiles or lock 1t up In safe deposit vaults.
