When Mr.. Carnegie decides to erect

Haynes, they had done a small but profitable bust
ness for four or five Years, when the Prudential
Bank Building was projected. 1t was the first SIX
tracing firms from New York and Chicago
known TO be getting ready to bid. Many OF the
local contractors had been frightened out of the
competition when they learned that the Weaver
Construction Company, with Offices in New York
Chicago Philadelphia, and Washington, had been
figuring on the plans. Sheedy tm,d the
rest. HAYNES had the audacitv of youth, and also
youths ignorance OF those great risks which make
age hesitate. Fortunate ignorance and glorious
