Calaveras Enters New York Market

Calaveras Cement Company has entered the New York market with its products-the first instance of a California cement company invading the major building materials ' field of the East.

H. C. Maginn, sales manager of the company, who has returnqd fronr New York where his negotiations resulted in the John A. McCarthy & Co. ordering three cars of Calaveras White cement, reports that the McCarthy firm henceforth will represent the cement company in New York.

Conditions in the building industry differ greatly in New York, Washington ancl Chicagtl, Mr. Maginn reports, following a month's study of these three large cities.

"There is a great deal of building activity in Chicago. Not only is residential constru,ction under way in a major rvay but also many new office structures are being built in dorvn-town Chicago. In Nerv York, however, tl-re only large activity is to be found in the small homes field," he states.

"Before capital will become interested in construction of new of6ce buildings and apartment houses in New York there will come first the major job of renovating many old buildings," he added.

Contrary to general belief here on the West Coast Mr. Maginn found that the modern buildings in New York have high occupancy reports. Al Smith, who heads the Empire State building companv, informed I\{r. Maginn that his 84-story building is completely occupied. Rockefeller Center has no vacancies and because of existing demand for space new additions are being planned.

ECONOMY T}IROUGH TIMBER CONNECTORS

A typical instance of e'conomy in timber construction, accomplished by the use of TECO connectors in small buildings, is illustrated by a letter from a Florida architectural engineer, who has written to the Tlmber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C., as follows:

"Not long ago you mailed me some of your data and publications and I am glad to advise that my first job using TECO connectors will shortly be erected : grocery store, 110 ft. x 45 ft. clear span. Our savings against using steel joists is about $500. Naturally we are very pleased."
