SAN FRANCISCO'S JAPANESE: Showing How New Nippon Has Grown Up in the One-Time Center of the City's Best Residence District-Workers, Helpful and Ambitious. AN IMMEDIATE POST SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE ARTICLE A very nice pictorial article, documents the progress of the relatively new Japanese arrivals and residents to San Fran- cisco. Shows typical Japanese area street scenes and the new buildings they either constructed or took over after the devistating 1906 earthquake. Photos of bright young Japanese merchants, Hotel Oisoya for Japanese only reconstructed near the burned out central district, a row of Geary St. Japanese homes given up since the fire to Japanese. Good photos of Japanese men, women and children living, working and playing among white the residents. Good photo of the Yokohama Specie Bank in the U.S. Sub-Treasury Building, and the early estab- lished [Japanese] Buddhist Mission in the heart of San Fran- cisco. A very good article not only on the reconstruction of San Francisco, but on the installation of Japanese-Americans in the city & their beginning foot-hold and establishment in the business community.
