With the Wark Risk Department
making its headquarters in Tacoma
all business activities seem to have
taken on rather an improved attitude
within the past ten days. The very
inactive real estate market for the
past six months is gradually reyiving
and many are making inquiries for
both city and suburban properties in
this locality
While positions are rather scarce
just now the future looks promising
as the press reports a very lively
building market in both residence and
business properties. With the govern
mental activities and the preparations
of large business concerns there is
every reason to believe that very de-
cided change for the better will be felt
throughout the section before June /.
