new WAREHOUSE AT
THE BELDING-HALL co.


The Belding-H Company is build
ing additional ware room space. The
ware house known as No. which
stands just to the east of No l has
been unroofed. one of the side walls
raised about five feet and additions
are being built TO the south and west
sides of it that will more than double
its capacity. When completed the
new wareroom will have as much if
not more storage room than has ware
room No. l which will hold about
1900 refrigerator boxes. These two
together with room No. will give the
Belding- Hall Company storage
capacity of about 10000 boxes.
The new room will be used to store
boxes that are manufactured i'm large
quantities. 1t will be equipped, as the
others are now, with the sprinkler
system with dry valve attachment.
The dry valve excludes the water from
the pipes in the room except in case
of fire and prevents the pipes from
freezing in cold weather.
The new wareroom when completed
will give the company possibly the
largest storeroom capacity of any
refrigerator factory in the United
States. 1t will also almost complete
the equipping of the most modern
refrigerator plant, If not the most
modern working factory, OF any kind
in the United States.

TEST WEIGHTS SENT
TO LOCAL POST OFFICE

The Test Weights from the Post
Office Department, Grand Rapids,
were received here by the local office
Tuesday morning. The weights are
expressed from town TO town in a neat
oak box, which in turn is enclosed in
another oak shipping box. The
weights are Of polished nickel and
range from five pounds down to a

an accurate test of all of the scales
and balances that are used in the
office They start with the minimum
weight of the scales and test them
at different points until their capacity
is reached.
All the scales Of the local office were
found to be very accurate. They are
all of a model recommended by the
Post Office Department as required,
but in case they should have been in
accurate the test box contains a screw
driver and box of shot TO aid in their
adjustment.
The test box goes from here to
Smyrna. 1t came from Greenville.

ids July 20 and will be returned there
