Today it is only one of three equally tall structures that tend to block cloud, bird and airplane traffic In the upper aic, and advertise Oakland's progress as a -metropolis for miles in every direction.

Structural Iron workers whose rivet-hammers have been splitting the downtown atmosphere for many weeks, are now working on the last laps, respectively, of the great eighteen-story Oakland Bank building and the twenty story TRIBUNE building. The frame of the former is complete and it is only a matter of days before the finishing touches are placed on the skeleton framework of the TRIBUNES building. These structures will be the highest commercial buildings ever erected on the continental side of the bay. Few activities that have taken place in the Eastbay have attracted as much attention. Crowds are constantly gathered along the nearby sidewalks to watch the two great skyscrapers rising steadily to neck-craning altitudes.

Commuters on the east-looking decks of the ferryboats dally watch the two tall skeletons mounting above the surrounding skyline.
