RIVALRY BETWEEN BUILDERS OF TWO BIG DOWN
TOWN BANK BUILDINOs

RIVALRY BETWEEN BUILDERS OF TWO BIG DOWN
TOWN BANK BUILDINGS
race between builders is at Cedar-st. and
Broadway which Is attracting the attention Of the
bankers and brokers. The principals are George A.
Fuller & Co. constructing the International Bank
ing and Trust Companys building, on the west side
of Broadway at Cedar-st., and Marc Edits & Son
and the Cornell Iron Works, who are erecting the
American Exchange National Bank building,
directly across the street The International Bank
ing and Trust Companys building will be fourteen
stories high and is 10 be made OF steel terra Gotta
and brick. The American Exchange National Bank
building Is to be sixteen stories and made OF steel.
granite and limestone.
Mr. Fuller had the steel work Of the international
building up to the sixth story when his men left
work on Saturday night This building is about
nifty feet deeper than the the street but
that disadvantage. from a racing point OF view, is
more than offset by the fact that the American
Exchange building is TO be built OF granite and
Gotta and brick The steel work for the latter build
ing is up far the eighth story. Another
feature OF the contest which makes the match an
even Is the fact that the Cornell Iron Works
can deliver its steel with great spromptness, while
the steel for the other building from Pitts
burg One OF the Cornell Iron Works engineers on
Saturday said that the American Exchange Bank
building was much harder to build than the other
and he did not consider that It was race.
One OF Mr.. Fuller's engineers said:
THE Cornell people are ahead o. us at present
and we have a bigger structure TO put up, but We
are likely to win out as soon as We get the steel
