real estate business, and all are making
comfortable profits.
Along with the occupation Of real es-
tate for residential purposes has gone
forward building operations upon an eX-
pensive scale. The government structures
set the pace in size and style of archi-

the people have grown up buildings which
are the expression Of the highest achieve
ment in architecture and construction.
The Office buildings Of Washington, its
hotels, its new terminal station its apart

Of palatial homes, are the envy Of all
America, arohltecturally speaking. In no
other American city have such buildings

a city Of nearly 10000 people should no
longer be without the distributing IA

Washington already has a wholesale
trade OF respectable proportions. and in
dustries Of considerable capacity are
turning out products which find markets
elsewhere. The foundations for such bus
mess have been securely laid, and the OBJ
ject of the Chamber of Commerce IS TO
nurture the growth Of the city along
these lines, until Washington takes its
rightful place among the producing and
trading cities Of the country.
Commercially Washington Is in a Pc
Rod Of surprising progress. It's future IS
we'll assured in the energy and ambition
of its business men. IN every line bust
ness Is branching out and reaching. year

shown in the increasing bank deposits

buildings, is the Capitals portion. Panic

Financial Expansion.
Banking in Washington has had SIM
liar expansion. The first national bank
was established here in 1863, having a
capital stock Of $4,000. In years time
this bank reported over $3,00O,O0O in de-
posits. Eighteen months later by estab-
Hshment or convention of private banks
five such institutions were started. and
from that time 30 the present the num-
Der Of national banks has grown from
five to twelve. There are besides FIVE
trust companies and thirteen savings and
private banks. The resources of these
banks are approximately 100000. The
capital invested in banks is 81 500. COO; the
surplus Is $500. 600. and the check deposits
are in round numbers 81 900, 900. Banking
is no less profitable in Washington than
in cities of similar size elsewhere. Some
OF the financial Institutions have in recent
years built large and costly banking
houses and some VIII occupy their new
home this year. There has been a con-
centration Of banks and trust companies
in Fifteenth street near the Treasury,
which has given 10 that street, between
