Newscopy: "This week tour-of-the-town takes us up Market-st to about 12th-st. The picture was taken looking toward the Ferry Building, which you should be able to see(if the printers don't put too much water in the ink). First skyscraper seen at the right is the Merchandise Mart. Below it is the Whitcomb Hotel. Across the street ist he Fox Theater and then-well, you fellows can pick 'em out yourselves. Smack in front of the camera was the once awfully busy intersection of Van Ness-av and South Van Ness-av, but it certainly doesn't look crowded now."
