AS was stated in the Review OF last
week the contract for the erection OF
the large warehouse for the Minnesota
Seed Co., was let and Pullman u
Gronau were the successful bidders.
This is pleasing to the members of the
company as it is their purpose to have
the building constructed with cement
brick aud Mr.. Pullman has made
that feature of building material
study and is perhaps the best able to
see that it is properly made and
placed.
The building as stated, is to be 4Oxo0
feet and is to stand on the site of the
old Weyhe warehouse which was de-
stroyed by fire some time ago. The
arrangement of the interior is to be
adapted to the work of preserving and
caring for the grain that is to enter
into the seed product that will be
placed upon the market. =

ton of the business while it was under
the charge of Fred Meier at Sleepy
Eye will see the advantage that is to

small warehouse with limited amount
ofelevator room and cleaning capacity
