The Theo. Hamm Brewing Co. of st

brewing concern in the Northwest. are
erecting a new beer storage house
which will, when finished, be the great
est building of its kind in the world.
It will not only be the greatest or &C.
count Of its cost, which will be over a
quarter of million dollars, but be-
cause of its size, the amount of beer
that it stores, and because of the mod
ern makeup of the structure.
The building is situated on the south
east corner of Minnehaha street and
Greenbrier avenue. 1t is SO feet wide
by LILO feet deep, and when completed
will be seven stories high. The walls
which are of unusual thickness, being
over four feet, are being constructed
OF brick, with concrete foundation
Every floor will be made of cement,and
the whole building supported by rein
forced concrete. This concrete is the
strongest in the world tits the new
Turner system of concrete work, anc
will be capable of supporting load Of
a,Ot0 pounds Pei square foot. Each
column is made to support 1000 tons
[of weight. Although many b1iiddiings
are now being constructed with this
system of concrete, none has ever been
commenced with such strong reinforc
ing, and contractors all over the coun
/ try are watching the building of thi.
structure with interest.
But. from the public view, the mos
interesting feature of the new building
