The live, up-to-date architect doesn't want to overlook any chances, but, on the other hand, his time is so fully occupied by his work that he simply cannot, in times when there is an. ordinary amount of construction, devote several hours a day to listening to the stories of salesmen. Nearly every architect reads journals of his profession.

Title | British Columbia Record |
Publisher | Vancouver : Record Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1919-02-03 |
Description | The British Columbia Record was published in Vancouver, and ran from June 1916 to July 1922. The Record was published every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As the official publication for the Architectural Institute of B.C., the B.C. Builders’ Exchange, and the Building and Construction Industries’ Exchange of B.C., the Record primarily covered news related to building, contracting, engineering, real estate, and industrial finance. The Record was published by the Record Publishing Company, which had previously published the paper under a number of different titles, including the Daily Building Record and the British Columbia Building Record. The Record subsequently evolved into the Journal of Commerce. |
