Construction on the Peerless factory
building on South Main street has been
| hampered at various times during the
winter by unusual weather conditions,
| but in spite of all this much has been
accomplished. The brick masons who
so many times were compelled to aban-
| don their task, have succeeded in com.
pleting the brick work of the first or
main building of the plant. In this
structure a representative of the Rock
wood sprinkler system of Boston is SUI
pervising the installation of the sprink
Ter system that will be completed this
! week. Steel sash are being installed
on the main building, the required num-
Der for the first floor having already
been placed and many of the second
| floor number. are also in place. The
window space Of the whole structure is
enormously large; in fact, the facades
IN each side are constituted for the
sreater part by windows. c. w, Aver

plumbing work, while at the same time

BY the n. d. Phelps company. Some
i the machinery for the factory has
ready arrived, but the elevator equip
nent and the fire escapes have been
delayed by embargo. Construction of
The second building, TO be used as a
boiler, dye and dry house, has been
started, the brick walls already reach
ing UP to about half the first story.
Work of raising the timbers for the
second floor of this building has been
luder way for the past two days and
With favorable weather conditions
Supt. A. b. Lane is of the opinion that
the structure will be rooted within two
weeks. The chief purpose Of this de
partment will be a boiler, capable Of
supplying the entire plant with hot
water, and heating the different build
ings Large watts for dyeing the prod
ucts of the mill will be located here,
together with the dry. rooms. For this
part OF the manufacture, rooms will be
specially equipped for drying the tub
ing as the material from the machines
is termed, by hot air. A power convey
or from the second floor Of the boiler
house TO the third floor of the factory
building will consist OF an endless belt
eonveyor and stairway that will be
carried on two steel trusses. TO the
American Chimney corporation OF New
York City has been given the contract
for erecting the s0foot radio brick
smoke stack connected with the large
boilers. The material, that is, most
of it. is here now. This will be under
construction as soon as the workmen of
the New York corporation arrive here.
Thus it is, that the progress OF erect
ng this new factory building has con
tinued and still goes on. During this
cold weather cement lintels and roof
eopings for the second building are be-
ng formed in the warm basement of
the factory.
