streets, below Mission and reaching
over to Folsom street.
Just south of Rincon hill and also
south of Second street begins the sec
ond of these manufacturing zones, be-
tween which and accompanying both
are many warehouses that serve as
storage places and are greatly con-
venient.
.Of the manufacturing region south
of Second street mixed in with brick
warehouses is a large wholesale sec
tion. 1t may be said that some of the
greatest interests of San Francisco and
some of the largest individual invest
ments of capital are there represented.
For descriptive purposes the manufac-
turing region is herein considered as
bounded by Ninth street; but the fact
is that it extends far beyond that point
and results in a great congestion of
costly and productive plants of which
large part is in the Mission district.
For the most part the manufact turing
in the older district south of Market
street represents concerns that were
engaged in productive industries I'm
that region prior to 1906. The newer
manufacturing section has so much of
recent interest attached to it that in
dividuaI mention of enterprises is not
at all out of place. Four great hard
ware concerns, namely. W. w. Mon
tague & CO.. Holbrook Merrill & Stet-
son. Baker & Hamilton and the Pacific
hardware and steel company. maintain
large plants, with hundreds of en-
ployes near to or In Townsend street.
These locations have resulted in saving
thousands of dollars per month for
drayage bills, and this is a large in
centive to bring business houses close
to terminals where they can be served
by spur tracks.
In the vicinity of the southern ter
minals are located the National ice
company. the Pacific implement COM
pan. the Stauffer chemical works.
the St. George vineyard storage cell
