Foundations for the group of
seven huge buildings, to cost con-
siderably more than 100000, were
completed during the summer, and
three of the principal shops are
practically finished. The progress

Commendable and is such that there

die the contract for half a million
dollars worth of armor-piercing

so ago by the National Government.
The Firth-Sterling plant is really
one of the first material develop
ments in the Greater Washington

joicing in business circles upon the
announcement that the Govern
men's most recent contract for
naval supplies was given to home

commercial houses are experiencing
unusual activity; that during the
past five years the National Govern
ment has authorized the expenditure
of nearly S4O,OOO,OOO in public build
ings and park improvements; all
these things should convince the
stranger to Washington that the
city is more than a mere thing of
beauty, and that its commerce and
industry viii keep pace with the
progress of its Identification.
Development a Necessity.
We are building a city here-a city
OF magnificent proportions, but as il
is necessary for most of the trade
between the North and the South
to pass through Washington, and as
this trade is increasing in leaps and
bounds, it is essential that Wash
ington, as a great supply house and
business center, as the commercial
gateway to the South, be deyelCped
So, while the city offers a varied
and extensive market for the re-
tail merchant, particularly the mer-
chant in Virginia and the Carolinas,
there is room for more jobbing
houses, and a need for more manu-
facturers. In order to call the needs,
as well as the advantages, of the
city to the attention of the entire
country. and to develop the trade
that rightfully belongs to the Ma
tional Capital, there recently has
been organized a Jobbers and Ship
pers' Association, which, through
the unanimous approval of the citi-
zens generally, has been instructed
10 conduct a far-reaching and ef-
fective campaign for the Greater
Washington.
But as to the city of today-think
for moment Of its geographic ad-
vantages. Situated at the head of
tide-water, upon a river that is not
only navigablC, but historic-the PO-
tomac-and harboring as it does
the great railroad terminals, direct
~ on the highway between the
South and the North; the markets
of every country accessible from its
wharves, unlimited water power
available for factories, and ten mil
lion consumers eager for its prod
sets-these, il brief, are what Wash
5ngton has as a basis for its present
activity and IT'S future commercial
greatness.
Nothing need be said as to Wash
ipgton, THE Place to See." The
