Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-04-19
(Bv A. G. MARRS.)

That Tulsa is entering that per-
iOd of prosperity that is destined
to permanently establish her as
the most wonderful city in all OF
the wonderful southwest, and is
entering upon a growth unher-
aided and almost undreamed OF,
is the consensus of opinion of OBJ
servant men.
That Tulsa is now in the most
prosperous period of her most re-
markable history is evident even
to the most casual observer.
Never before has there been such
building activity. This activity
is not confined to any class, but
ranges from ten-story office
buildings to residences OF the
most commonplace type. The re-
port of the building Inspector
conveyed only in the most hazy
manner the true activity in this
line. The real accomplishment
can only be realized by a trip
over the city. Go into any part
of Tulsa, West Tulsa or Kendall,
and the story is the same. Homes
are going up by the scores in
every section, while in the bust
ness district the sound of the
riveter, the whistle fthe steam
lift, the call of the orders to
workmen, all sing the refrain OF
Tulsa's ever-increasing prosper
ity. The huge mounds of crushed
stone. sand, brick and other ma
terials that arise to mar the 9TH
erwise beautiful streets of Tulsa s
downtown district are mute evi-
dence to the great activity that
is making the Tulsa that is to be.
Reports Prove It.
A glance at the report from the
county clerk s office on transfers
of real estate will show an activ-
|ity in Tulsa real estate that is
conclusive of the faith men of
means have in the future of
Tulsa.
These are things in Tulsa's
prosperity that we can see, and
they establish beyond conjecture
the city's present status. But
