Great Industry

RICHMOND, Aug 26.-One OF the
industries in Richmond is the exten-
sive plant OF the Richmond manufac-
turing company, or as it is better
known in Richmond. the Schrock fur
niture company.
This plant covers FIVE acres of ground
and consists of several large buildings
which house the different departments
of the business The site was chosen
just at the northern intersection of
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail-
roads. so that the facilities for the
shipment of raw material to the plant
and the finished product to all parts
of the Pacific coast are unequaled.
The Richmond manufacturing com
pany is allied with the California chair
company, manufacturers of chairs. a.

the eightrlarge double buildings Of the
allied company is ideal
Leading from the main line of the
southern Pacific railroad to the en-
trance OF the receiving department. is
a private side track, where cars load
ed with raw material are run in and
unloaded. Lumber, brass and iron tub
used in the various departments are
bought by the ton, and cotton. kapoc
hair, ticking, feathers and all kinds of
upholstering material are delivered in
large quantities readily
In the manufacture of furniture the
lumber is first passed through a drv

GOOD DEMAND FOR
HOMES IN SUBURBS
Artistic Houses Down the PENN
sula at Moderate Prices
Find Ready Buyers

Although there is not great amount
of speculation in real estate at the
present time, there is, however, a good
demand by actual home seekers and
builders This demand for homes is
strongest for bungalows and cottages
ranging in price from $4,000 to $4,000.
As it is somewhat difficult to find
artistic homes at these prices, those
who appreciate pleasant surroundings
are often forced into the suburbs.
Burlingame is receiving its full share
of this class of inquiries and sales are
being effected not with the speculative
feature in mind. but for immediate use
as residence property.
Lyon & Hoag, who are operating IN
Burlingame. report that the new tract
of land placed on the market in the last
fortnight has met with a very encour
aging demand and sale. About dozen
residences have been contracted for in
Burlingame terrace. There have also
been sold quite a few lots to persons
who are having plans prepared and
who will contract for buildings in the
immediate future.
1t would seem that the painstaking
efforts and the money expended in lay
ing out this property and in improve
ments such as grading, street work,
sidewalks, etc, have met with popular
approval, and it is only another in
stance of the fact that buyers are more
exacting now than they have been in
the past, having begun to realize that
it is much safer and more profitable to
buy land for home sites where the
street work and other improvements
are a fact and not a promise.

GREAT WORK IN BUILDING
UP THE SHOPPING DISTRICT
Heroic Strussls Of Downtown Association
In Bringing Back Trade to Old Center;
History Of the Organization

toms were in first class condition after
they were cleaned out.
These cisterns have. under the guild
ance of the Downtown association, been
cleaned out and reclaimed, and are now
filled with water and ready for use
Had these cisterns been in proper
shape at the time of the fire. il is
probable that the flames could have
been stopped from spreading north or
Market street. thus saving approx
mateIy $500, 100000 worth of property
The matter of locating and reclaim
ing these fire cisternS has saved the
city thousands of dollars and has added
fmmeasurably to IT'S fire protection
The efforts of the association have
resulted in a perceptible and continual
reduction of the fire insurance rates IN
the district. thereby saving property
owners tens of thousands of dollars
Prior to the advent of the Down
town association the new year eve eel
ebrations were attended with more or
less roughness. During the last three
years that they have been conducted
under the auspices of the downtown
association they have been pleasure
and a delight. The use of sticks.
brushes and paint has been prohibited
Automobile and masquerade iparades
have been introduced. The hilarious,
good humored carnival spirit reigns
supreme. People travel from the n
terror to enjoy the occasion
PORTOLA FESTIVAL
So successful was the association
with it's New Year celebrations that 1T
decided to give a carnival for the en-
tire world. The discovery of the bay
of San Francisco by Don Gaspar de
Portola was made the occasion for this
celebration. The association was main
ly Instrumental in organizing the Por-
tola committee.
No one who was in San Francisco
between October 10 and "a, 1909, can
ever forget the vast throng OF visitors
who came TO the city. Their number
is estimated at about 100000. The car
nival advertised San Francisco to the
world and paid handsomely. During
those five days San Francisco appeared
to be the happiest city in the world
President Taft. who visited San Fran
cisco shortly after this time. said that
instead OF finding a stern and sad peo-
pie, as he expected. he found a people
buoyant. hopeful and enthusiastic.

The largest deal in suburban real

the Obear investment company, the
deed for which was placed on record
last Monday. The purchaser gives
back mortgage for S31,219 to the

GOLDEN GATE PARK AS
EXPOSITION SITE PLEASES
Leading Real Estate Men Declare that
Location of Great Fair in Park Beside
Ocean Will Insure Financial Success

did Riverside drive overlooking the
Hudson river
Another advantage in locating the
exposition in the park will be that
everybody, our own citizens as well as
out OF town visitors, will be able to
get TO it easily, at little or no ex-
pense, and see it all with the least
exertion and without becoming ex-
hausted.
The placing of the exposition here
will naturally cause the ocean shore
boulevard to be extended southwark
into San Mateo county and clear down
to San Jose and the Santa Clara valley.
This will not only make 1t easy for
the large population living down there
to get to and from the fair easily, but
1t VIII make a most attractive automo-
bile trip for visitors to view the show
places of the fashiona BILE suburbs down
the peninsula and to see Stan
ford university and the most beau
tiful fruit growing region in the
state
KITE SHAPED EXCURSION
This will give us a sort OF kite shaped
excursion route similar to that which
tourists to southern California are
In fact, nothing better could have been
done to popularize the exposition prof.
ect from the very start than the Sc
lection of Golden Gate park for the
site"
PROSPECT OF ECONOMY
Golden Gate park is very appro-
pirate choice" said G. II. Umbsen. The
stadium and Spreckels lake are great
attractions and can be made central
features of the fair. To duplicate such
features would cost a great deal and
the money thus saved would go a long
way toward making the fair success
in other ways.
1T will undoubtedly arouse great in
terest and enthusiasm among the peo-
pie of this city TO know that the ex-
position Will be placed right at their
doors, so to speak, rather than in some
remote section. No material DANA ge
viii be done to the park, because the
part where it is proposed to locate the
exposition, from Strawberry hill west,
is in no sense highly developed Hav-
ing the fair there will help improve the
western end up to the standard of the
eastern end
CREATES HOME SITES DEMAND
Louis Lipman. of Lipman & Hirsch-
Ter, expressed the following opinion:
The official mention of Golden Gate
park as the exposition site has stimu-
lated a demand for lots north and south
of the park. The desire seems to be
for home sites. as people are buying
now only for homes. We advocate that
all street work be done as speedily as
possible. This gives a substantial
value to property. Banks will then
lend money for building purposes,
which they will not DO on unimproved
streets.
We expect that the Fulton street
line will be running through to the
Cliff house by October 1. This will help
property north of the park, as the land
is limited and it is the natural extern
sion of the Western addition"
