Most Magnificent Business Structure in the State to Be Erected in Practically the Civic Center of the City
FIRST AVENUE
 AND MONROE ST.
Financing of the Biggest Building Enterprise in Arizona Well Under Way and Its Accomplishment Said to Be Assured

After ooking most conscientiously into the building site proposition in Phoenix, the local representatives of the Realty Securities company selected with the approval of their directors the lot just across the way from the new federal building for the new office structure. To be more exact the loca- tiOn is the Rhuart lot on the south east corner of First avenue and Mon roe adjoining the Colonial
 Situated midway between the two greatest feedways, the Washington and Indian school car lines the lot is particularly desirable as the location of places of business for men who need offices in the down town district. Lawyers, doctors and professional men in all lines will find the new building an ideal one for locations. Besides the splendid site, the most modern fix lures and arrangements will add to the value of the Realty Securities build ing. Not one single consideration can deter the builders from making it an artistic triumph, and a model of can venience and neatness, city styled and of many metropolitan features
 As an attraction to men who need quiet and nearness in their places of business the building site is ideal. Away from the noise of the main street it is still close enough to the main arteries of traffic to be cOnven- tent. Then it's proximity to the fe1- eral building is a good thing for law yers in practice at the United States courts
 When completed. the first floor will be given over to the offices of the Realty Securities company. One sec ton will be fitted up with the best of up to date equipment for the office suites of, doctors and dentists.
 A feature of the building will be the right of long time lessees to say what they want in the way of office ar rangement. Anyone taking a suite Ol room for an extended period has the choice to see it built to order, as il were. But lessees must remember the arrangements for such rooms can onlH be made now Concessions cannot bt granted later
 The new edifice will be built as neal in the style of the cities as possible not one sacrifice will be made O gracefulness or beauty to extra floO1 space. So the structure will be one O. beauty as we'll as great utility.

 The other day in New York, Will son came out with a sweeping as sault on the progressive platform and program and defined his own posi- tion as to social and industrial jus tice. Wilson said there was no hope for social reform through the plat form of the progressive party.
