The selection of i fatorj- sites Involving the expenditure of dollars measured in the millions is not done by the hit or miss 'plan, but by careful examination by expert engineers, and what is good for such plants as these is certainly good for the average industrial institution." That the campaign for factories Is not to be selfishly confined to Oakland, but will ciiver all of the mainland section is set forth In the closing, paragraph of the brochure: j-7i'akiaiiL California, offers the aouve fitcis lor tne consideration or thofe who are looking toward the west and the Kreat Pacific; Coast. i Detailed Information upon sites and I their cost, climatic conditions, fuel and power and their cost, transportation, materials, local and for- eign maraets, cost ot living, wages, cost of construction and any other point that may interest the prospective investor in California Industry will he furnished upon application to The New Industries Committee I "Flfth Access to both rail and water transportation "Sixth But, above all, a climate that has no extremes of heat and old. thua requiring no outlay for expensive heating or cooling and ventilating filantsr-snd permitting -of the highest possible output because of the most favorable I.VniSTKV. The brochure Is headed "West ward the Cotirse of Industry Take Its Way," a paraphrase of the well known saying about the 'course- of empire.

'V This, the brochure says. "Is being proved as indisputably In regard to the trend of Industry and manufacturing as it has in regard to the progress ot civilization" and It Is added: "Since the dawning of peace the eyes of the industrial I'nlted States hna been cast toward the west wim lis great resources, its growing cpns'umlmj power and the vast and undeveloped trade across the Pacific ocean. Always In the per-Prctive stands the great bay of San Francisco and on Its continental side the city of Oakland, California. San Francisco bay is one of the great ports of the world, and Oakland la on deep water on the right side of San Francisco bay -where the railroads have their termini.

There is a market for real estate opening such as there has not been for several years, uhd there is a full realization upon the partir the buying publjc that property values tire lower today than they will ba a year from now.

This has caused owners of well-developed tracts to place these properties upon the market and attractive Offerings at the prevailing low market rates are being made, much to the advantage of the buying public. It Is realized that with the Increase In the cost of materials pd labor, that the development of property has increased in cost. To lay out a new tract, install streets and sewers and sidewalks ftnd the usual Improvements necessary to the development of city property costs twice aa much today us it did a few-years ago. This additional cost will have to be placed against ths for that reason the purchasing movement has been in the direction of property that was improved and developed befuvi- the war under tha prices that prevailed at that time. CHEVROLET PARK.

One of the best examples of this is in Chevrolet Park, which has been reopened by. the iteaity Syn dicate and will be placed upon the market on August 24. This dlrectl yacross from the wonderful Mills College grounds, is one of the choice properties developed by the Syndicate just prior to the war. The tract improvements were made before the war sent pricts soaring, and In offering this property to the public the pre-war prices are considered and not the present market The fact that lots in this tract are being offered as low as $590 is evidence this fact.
