 | The large iron covered building erect by Gary Brothers, during last summer, for their coal business, is not only a structure notable for it's size, but as a model of convenience and labor saving. The coal is hoisted to the upper part of the building, where there is capacity for over 1900 tons. An endless chain, with buckets, worked by horse power, lifts the coal to the upper floor as fast as four men can shovel from the carssstanding on the track beside the building. The lower floor has several tracks for delivery carts. These receive the coal from the aRpsr floor through chutes, the coAl in falling the dust, depositing it ia bins. All these devices sayae fime, labor, and cost in handling the coal. The building is nec- .eaaa gtly heavily timbered and well built srhe iron sides and roof comply with con- ditions of building within the fire limits, and are nee led protection against fire. The doors protecting the lower cartways are very pretty working pieces of mechan- ism, making use of the Union hanger.
