The organization was founded Irt 191S In a mall Idaho town by O.

I'. Skaggs, Who is still its active head, being president and general manager. lie is a resident of Oakland and the local office Is the executive office of tho organization. A large office is alio main-tained nt Salt Inke City nnd smaller branch offices at Sacramento, Iteno. Nev.

Cheyenne, and Ogden, Utah. The store and market Just opened brings the total number for the Oakland Unit to sixty-four. Of these, sixteen stores and sixteen markets are in the Fastbay district. Others are located in nearby towns and cities. Including; San Francisco, Stockton, I'etaluma, San Jose, Lodl, Kosevllle, Oroville, Chico and Santa Rosa.

Several Nevada stores nre also included in the Oakland unit. Salt I-ake City is the center of a large unit of Skuggs stores and markets, and it is planned soon to open a large number in Omaha, nnd surrounding territory, also to greatly extend operations in the territory surrounding Cheyenne. The organization plans to have stores as far east as Chloago by the end of 1926. which will give it a continuous chain of modern food stores from the Pelficocean to the Great Latvia. A few months ago this concern' I tinued their upward trend.

In May A survey to determine the trend of residential nnd business property rents over the United States and to measure present market activities In reul estate is now being made by the National Association of Ileal Fstate Hoards. Tho investigation Is the Association's fifth semi-annual survey of the condition of the real estate market. It will give a section-by-section nnd state-by-state picture of building nnd real estate conditions as observed by constituent real estate boards in the 500 principal cities of the United States and Canada. The survey will give an actual measure of the extent or existence of a housing and building shertage on the basis of demand. Estimates given out from private and semi-private source have recently pictured the shortage on the one hand as no longer existent and on the other hand ns amounting to perhaps four billion dollars worth shortage of considerable magnitude confronting the industry.

In the cities of more than 10,000 opula-tlon alone this shortage is in t-xc ss of $4,000,000,000, with very large ino wnuio country wun Hkiwn hw inking forward with an increase of 8 per cent and with New York's activities entirely out of proportion to the rest of the country.
