The Retail Dealer and His Problems Storing Finished Lumber—The Manufacturer and his Customers Storing Lumber and Handling Shavings By James F. Hobart I recently watched the erection of a small shed for the storage of finished lumber. The method of construction, manner of laying out, and the general arrangement of the whole business appeal so strongly to me that they are given here for the use of anyone who may be interested in a similar proposition. The structure, as shown by Fig. 1, is of balloon frame construction, about 72 feet long, 20 feet wide and has a height of 20 feet, divided into two 10-foot stories. The lower story, as shown by the halftone, is open along its entire length, on one side. The building is on the west side of a street, running north and south, therefore the building is open to the west, and " the front of.

Five trenches were made, 5 feet apart. They were 12 inches deep. Plank molds or forms were used to keep the concrete in shape during the placing of that material. The plank- forms were carefully leveled and the concrete smoothed off level with the upper edges so that a fairly level surface was obtained upon all of the lines of concrete. The sills which were placed upon these concrete foundations were made of 2-inch plank, 8 inches wide, and each line of plank extended the entire length of the 72 feet and was anchored to
