WORLDS BIGGEST
ONE STORY FACTORY
It Is Being Rushed to Com
pIetiOn for Air Ship
Construction.

BUFFALO, Aug. 6. - Ground has
been broken by the Curtiss Aeroplane
Co. for the biggest one-story factory
building in the world 100000 square
feet of floor space-to manufacture ex.
clusively training planes for the Uni
ted States army. Contracts call for
completion of this great structure 90
days from the time the survey was
made.
This gives some idea Oh the size of
Uncle Sans preparations for war in
the air and the pressure being put be-
hind them.
Up to noon July rs notlng mad been
done about this building except decide
that 1t would lave to be built II the
army is to have the training planes it
needs. At noon while all tae other 81
0l0 employees Of the company were at
their annual picnic, General Manager
W. A. Morgan sat down with a couple
Of assistants and the contractors to
work out plans. By that night con-
tracts wers signed; Sunday morning
surveys we've started; Monday morning
ground was broken ana materials for
foundations began to arrive,
In 80 days half the building must be
under room ana ia 80 mare must be
ready to install machinery and begin
manufacturing
This miracle OF rapid. construction
is made possible ny combination of
good trek and American ingenuity.
g The sticking EC:pt in all kinds of
construction now, Of coarse, is steel.
The steel trust is not accepting private
contracts for delivery under II months
and some independents want even
more time. Where on earth could the
steel for such monster building come
from in two weeks? 1t happened that
the firm which has taken the Curtiss
contract had previously arranged to
built nine Largo factory buildings of
uniform size and had secured the steel
girders and beams for them. How
ever, anybody that knows anything
about building knows that steel fabri.
Gated for che purpose can only in part
be used for another.
This is where American ingenuity
came in. why not give up the idea
