VICTORY WILSON
CONSTRUCT WINDOW
>AT COST OF $4,000
A Feature of Houston
Street, They Use $1,000
of Glass and Copper.

Victory-Wilson, Inc, exclusive
mems clothiers, completed the remod-
cling of their display windows at
80 IL East Houston street, last
week. The total cost of the work is
$4,000. The job is said to have been
exceedingly difficult as it was neces-
sary to brace portion of the two
story building.
There is 5000 worth Of plate glass
and copper in these windows, nd'with
their attractive lighting system, they
are a feature of Houston street dis
play windows. t
Beginning business in San Antonio
about four years ago, Victory wilson,
Inc. is today considered one of the
leading mems stores in San Antonio.
The store also has this distinction in
every other city in which it is estab-
lished.
The store is established on the sec
ond floor of the building at 312 East
Houston street. of the Dittmar es-
tate. During the first four years of
business. the store was handicapped
to certain extent with only a small
amount of window space. A street
widening ordinance prevented the re-
modelling of the store front without
cutting off the entire front of the
building for a number of feet. As soon
as the present city administration
was elected, this ordinance was re-
pealed. Victory-Wilson is said to have
had the contract for this remodeling
job pending for more than four
months.
A. vogel, is the contractor, August
Herff Company as the architect, the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company fur
nished the plate glass. Martin Wright
installed the attractive lighting sys-
TEN. and the Alamo Iron Works ae-
complished successfully, the difficult
feat of suspending the building front
while the work was in progress.
1t was necessary to do a large part
of the work at night as workers said
they believed there was danger of in
juring patrons Of the store as well as
pedestrians.

AUGUST BUILDING IN
252 CITIES GAINS s
PER CENT OVER JULY
Official Report Also Shows
10 Per Cent Gain Over
August, 1922.

Official building permit reports from
252 comparable cities for August show
a substantial increase of building &C.
tivity over August, 1922 and over
July of the present year. The totals
are $256, 100, ISL for August, 1923;
S233, $50, POI for August, 1922 and
$241, 1903, 1903 for July, 1925: an in
crease of 10 per cent over August,
1922; and G per cent over July Of
the present year.
This gain over July is particularly
significant in view of the fact that
during the past decade August per-
mits in the principal cities and towns
have shown loss from July each
year excepting three.
The upward tendency in building
permits also is emphasized somewhat
by the fact that July permits this
year Gas reported in our last months
survey showed a loss from June in
the Eastern, Central, Southern and
Western sections while there was a
gain in August over July in all sec
tons excepting the Eastern cities,
which lost only S1.500,0OO
Approximate sterilization OF build
ing material prices appears to have
been reached during August. There
were some changes in both directions,
but they were of minor consequences
and the general level was scarcely
affected. This sterilization which
first began to manifest itself in the
latter part of May, was more pro-
nounced in June and reached its
greatest potency in August.
1t is important that this economic
condition prevailed in a month of in
creased nationwide building activity.
The Eastern cities reporting show
a gain this August over August. 1872
of Z per cent and loss of Is per
cent from July, 1923. The Central
cities show an August gain of 50
per cent and July gain of 81 per
cent. The Southern cities show a
gain over August, 1922 of . per cent
and a gain over July of o per cent.
The Pacific Western cities show an
August gain of Al per cent and a
July gain of 27.7 per cent.
Among so comparable Eastern cities
reporting, AZ show gains over August.
1922 aggregating S25,271,S79 and IS
show gains over July this year ag-
gregating S1O,516,216. Among %
Central cities As show August gains
aggregating $14,419,779 and 40 show
July gains aggregating S19,622, 357.
Among As Southern cities 10 show
August gains aggregating S4,630,43S
and 10 show July gains aggregating

gregating $15,369,439 and IS show

OFFICIAL SPANKER FOR SAN FRANCISCO CHINESE

a a
 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 3O.--- Spanking neatly done" might be the sign on the door of the head quarters of the Chinatown squad at the Hall of Justice here. Police Corporal Jack Floyd Is the official spanker. and rarely day passes that he. does not imprint his trade mark on some incorrigible Chinese youth.
 Corporal Floyd, who, because oi the fierce aspect he assumes on punitive occasions, is also known as the Mandarin of Chinatown" first entered his present profession about three months ago when worried Oriental parent confied to him:
 a"My boy, Sam, he no likee go school .All-time lun away. Take him juy-nile court--no good. No like juy-nile court .. Sam jus Ian away some more. You spankee him, Mis- tah Floyd" And Floyd did.
 So appreciative was the parent oi Floyd's handiwork that he pres ented him with a canary bird in "a picturesque cage. Today asAdozen canary birds at the Hall of Justice testify that Floyd's business is ex- banding.
