I I ONE Three of San Francisco's up-to date apartment buildings have re cetitly been completed by Douglas Dacre Stone, architect, for the Marlon Realty company, it is announced. A description reads: "Each building is of Southern-Spanish architecture, rich in ornament and color, and staining is used throughout on all three exteriors, giving a haSmonious glow -of soft coloring.

The lobbies of each bulldlbg runs through two floors and are resplendent with decorated wood-beam catlings, fountains, marble floors, and old Spanish arches.

A full automata closing elevator door puts on the last touch of modern refinement. "The group of two buildings stands on the site of the magatn-' cent old Spreckles house at Pacific and Lagana. The other is at Broadway and Franklin. Architect Stone is at present preparing plans for two fifteen-atory apartment hotels for the aame owners. Commenting on apartment eon-atraction.

Stone says: "More aayl more the apartment building owners are beginning to realize the vital importance of a careful study Into each apartment project, and the eatire scheme from the combined angles of architecture, financing, renting and selling is analyaed. A building's function is to produce revenue, and unless each angle la carefully gone into Trior to construction, a thoroughly satisfactory result cannot be obtained." WASHINGTON, D.

Alameda, built by Fred Hambleton. This is a 24 unit job operated by one air-cooled compressor in the basement.

In commenting on this installation the Scott-Buttner Co. states: "The acceptance by the apartment builders and owners of Electro-Kold refrigeration has been remarkable. In the year we have, handled Electro-Kold we have sold this refrigeration in over 800 kitchens of apartment houses in the Eastbay area. This is in addition to many commercial and residential "Some of the reasons for this acceptance have been the simplicity and quiet operation of Electro-Kold frost units. "The Electro-Kold corporation manufactures both air and water-cooled compressors.

In this area we have used air-cooling almost exclusively because the mean average temperature of the air is about the same as the water. We have always used air-cooling where a bountiful supply of cool air is available. Air-cooling costs nothing and la not subjected to lime deposits and complicated control equipment necessary on water-cooled models. "To meet the demand for a first class apartment refrigeration box at a low price, the Electro-Kold corporation has recently put on the market a line of cabinets featuring single, back-to-back, and side-to- slde models. These cabinets are cubic feet capacity with 7 v6 square feet of ehelf area.
