by the more or less fixed limits of the

therefore, before many a baker is Just

When affairs come TO that stage the

phases of the necessary changes were
considered in detail by himself and his

AT the time when this new building
was first contemplated there were two
courses open to Mr.. Bricker. One was
10 remodel the old plant the other TO
erect new one. Each course had its
advantages and disadvantages: as a
new building would. of course. give
greater satisfaction and better results,
but would cost much more than the
reconstruction of the cid plant; and IL
was therefore quite a problem for the
owner to solve.
This question of improvements
brings to mind the fact that most of
the old bakeries have been built with
out any comprehensive plan in mind.
no dennite consideration for future
growth; and hence IL is usually rather
dlfncult to remodel them along mod
ern lines. Many owners of such poorly
arranged and cramped plants are hon
estiy anxious to improve their con-
diuons. not only to take care of in
creaslng business, but also for sanitary
ana economical reasons. They are
however. hampered by the lack Of suf
ncient finances, and are compelled TO
remodel rather than build new. MANY
a bakery has thus been handicapped

badly done, or was impossible to he

guidance and advice of his architects
the sketch plans were gradually
evolved. Then, after these sketches
had been carefully studied to the point
OF approval, the first working draw
ings were begun.
Preliminary work of this character
is most important in planning any
building, fact which many persons
do not realize. Usually at that stage
| the prospective owner is anxious TO
sec the building started, and every day
of delay seems like a week to him
But the careful architect will accu-
rately study the details of arrange
ment, the placing of the columns,
height of stories, roof construction,
etc, such items being important in
any building, but particularly so in the
case of bakery of the type of the new
West Shore plant.
At the risk of disapproval from the
owner the architects spent much dine
on the working drawings, with the re-
suit that many important features
were incorporated that otherwise
would not have been possible had the
work been rushed.
AS to the plan and ARRANGEMENT of
the new bakery it might be mentioned
that there are in general two kinds of
bakery buildings. The first is the ware
house type, with the oven room either
on the first floor Or an upper floor;
the other is the typical bakery plan,
with the oven room on the main floor.
The new West Shore Bakery is an
example of the later type. The main
floor comprises a complete arrange
ment of oven room, with ample space
in front for the bread machinery,
workbenches, steam proof-room, etc,
and grouped around these are the
various offices, the packing and ship
ping rooms. driveway with drivers
booths, and the cake shop. The auto
matte proofer is suspended from the
steel roof girders and extends the en-
tire length of the oven room.
The cake shop, with its finishing
room, is located just back of the main
oven room, and is so arranged that in
the future it may be made part of the
oven room, affording the valuable pos
sibility of a complete twelve-oven
plant. In case such a development of

torium, a space which may someday
be used as an extension, especially
when the total of eleven or twelve
bread ovens are in operation, and the
cake shop eliminated. The balance of
the upper floor is given over to the
usual toilet and locker rooms, lunch
room, etc.
and the availability of the railroad sid

lures of which the owner and the
architects took full advantage. one
feature was the possibility of a we'll
lighted boiler room and oven firing
room; another is the advantage of
direct unloading of fuel and supplies
into the building. The fuel pits are
situated outside the building and di-
rectly under the siding, but are con-

be minor consideration, and the
changed plant would be capable of
taking care of an enormous bread bust

CHICAGO, March 16.-Lower cabels
prompted general selling of wheat and
prices at the start today were nc
to &c lower. The market ran into
resting orders to buy at $1.091z for
May and rally followed. The vol
ume Of trade was small. Corn prices
were NC lower. There was little pres
sure, but the weakness in wheat in
fluenced the corn market. Commission
houses were on the buying side. Oats
were unchanged to &c lower There
was a very small volume Of trade in
provisions early and prices were lower
generally.
While the wheat market reacted and
declined &c to Hc from the highest
level today, the resting spots for the
day were nc to 1Hc higher. Crop
loss claims continued to pour into the
market right up to the close OF the
session. 1t was said that some of
these of these were accompanied with
buying orders.
Corn closed nc to 1ac lower, while
oats were nc to &c higher to hc low
