In on a Good Thing

In those memorable days Immediate
ly following the fire Abe Ruef not
only helped make plans for the
Greater San Francisco. but he was
equally alert to plan for the Greater
Ruef.
Instead of three dingy rooms that
he occupied in the building he owned
at Kearny and California streets, the re-
sourceful attorney now has six rooms.
all CHEEKY with sunlight. the best
quarters of any lawyer in the town.
The offices are not only most commo-
dious, but are in the choicest Iocali-
ties. Fillmore and Bush streets is
about the most advantageous legal
situation in the city at the present
time.
Moreover, Ruef acquired an interest
in the building that was erected for
the emergency He worked In on one
of the neatest lease deals turned on
Fillmore street In those days of quick
enterprise. Furthermore, he provided
a location there for the San Francisco
National Bank, in which he Is lead
ing stockholder.
The Fillmore-street Building Com
pany is the name of the concern
through the medium Of which Ruef
scored his big success. The history
of the company is highly interesting,
though it is not actively in the build
ing business and was never intended
to be.
The story goes that the man who
was quick to see the advantage of OBJ
tanning a lease of the property at Fill
more and Bush streets was Frederick
Immel, Of the Darbes- Immel Oyster
Company. The firms two places of
business on O'Farrell street were
burned out and with prompt enter
prise Immel saw the opportunity for
a new location
The oyster man took his friends
Kelp & La France of Delmonico's in
with him, their businesses being allied
and it being important to establish
center for the fashionable rotisse-
ries. The lease was obtained from
Hornlein Bros and construction of the
temporary building was at once be-
gun.
In those times there was no Office
of the Board of Public Works and no
building permits were issued By
proclamation of the Mayor temporary
one-story structures might be erected.
But Immel and his associates, regard
less of the situation. proceeded to put
UP a three story structure
Finally an eagle-eyed inspector dis
covered the building that was being
erected without official sanction. He

found themselves in a most unhappy
predicament. Considerable money had
been expended and 1t looked as If all
were lost.
'See Ruef," came a suggestion, and
it was followed. Impossible to build
more than one story" was the terse
answer of the administration boss to
the appeal for help.
But Ruef was subsequently engaged
as attorney. Soon work on the build
ing was going again without a
sign of molestation. The vigiiant in
spector was vigilant no more, and the
building was erected without a permit.
The Fillmore-street Building Com
pany was formed, and the complaint
of Immel and his associates Is that
Ruef hogged the best part of that exI
cellent lease as his fee. The French
restaurants feel that Ruef is much
like poor relation. for they have him
with them always.
