EXPOSITION COMES AS A STIMULUS TO BUILDING
ama canal, and the consequent stream
of immigration Into California, will
continue in as great prosperity as dur
ing the fair. The places vacated by
visitors here for th.. world show will
be filled by travelers and immigrants
coming through the canal: California
and all the steamship and colonization
companies will have agents in Europe
telling of the advantages of the Golden
state, and advising a transfer thither.
Then the canal itself will attract globe
trotters in general, and the steady
stream of travelers will, with the tide
of home seekers, equal the crowds at
tracted here by the fair.
As the exposition and the canal will
open up simultaneously, and the canal
bo well In operation, and the stream
of Irrigation and travel well under way
by the time the exposition closes, no
lapse, even, is anticipated in the call
for residences, Hats . and apartment
houses here, and no cessation in busi
ness activity. ■> ■ - "

THE SAX FRANCISCO (ALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1911.
Surely a golden age of prosperity is
opening for property owners.
The total of $22,873,942 in building
contracts for 1910, large though it Is.
represents a small sum, indeed, when
compared to the millions spent in build
ing after the fire, but lt is an evidence
of a healthy business tone. After the
fire the building contracts were nearly
$6,000,000 per month.
DURABILITY FOR
NEW BUILDINGS
Best of Material Enters Into
the Structures
Former Mayor Edward R. Taylor
once gave it as his opinion that there
is no building material better able to
resist weather, earthquake shock, time,
wind and water than brick laid in ce
ment. It Is certain that this material,
which served the race thousands of
years ago, is today in some of San
Francisco's best and sturdiest build
ings.- Many experts prefer brick to
every other material. It insures a safe
structure and it can. be used for most
artistic ornamentation.
Another feature of San Francisco's
building since the fire is the superior
quality of the millwork used in the
hundreds of modern structures. What
ever or wherever the building, It may
be assured that the millwork will.be
well done. The window frames do not
warp and pull apart, and the wood
work is good throughout. Service is
the idea put Into every board.

district make brick a very popular ma
terial there. San Francisco has not
yet, as has Denver, for instance, appre
ciated the value of brick as a material
for residence building, but it can be
put to excellent use in constructing
homes, and fully as much in the way of
ornamentation, porch construction, etc.,
can be done with it as with wood. The
hundreds of brick houses in Denver,
one after the other, without a single
frame house in sight, presents a beau
tiful view. This climate, too, is one in
which brick houses perform the best of
service and wear out the years without
deterioration. And the best of brick is
made right around the bay and han
dled by San Francisco companies.
