of both the gravity and endless chain
type and quick horizontal distribution
on every floor.
Probably no building in the world
will have such facilities for receiving

modern freight station. Private tracks
for incoming carload freight will ex-
tend under the center of the building
The Chicago and North Western Rail-
way will operate an inbound freight
station for less than carload lots, as
well as an outbound station, which
will connect with all other roads
through its new Proviso yards. The
merchandise as it comes into this big
freight station will be loaded into high
speed conveyors and transported i'm
mediately to the exact floor and aisle
of the merchant for whom it is in
tended.
Connection will be made with the
Illinois Tunnel Companys system of
freight transportation, which has more
than sixty miles of tracks beneath
the streets and buildings of the city,
reaching all other railroad terminals.
A river dock for vessels will connect
with the south freight elevators of the
building
Club Planned for Tower.
One of the interesting features
planned for the Mart will be a Mer-
chants Club in the tower of the build
ing, with Longing rooms, reading and
smoking rooms, where the retailer
may relax and meet his friends. The
Mart will provide the retailer with
everything but a place to sleep. He
can go direct from the train to the
Mart with his baggage. Here his hotel
reservations will be taken care of,
his baggage transported to his hotel
and placed in his room. Restaurants,
lunch rooms and grills in the Mart
will further economic his time. He
will have the facilities of a barber
shop, and branch postoffice, tele-
graph office and public stenographers
will afford him the opportunity to
handle his correspondence without
leaving the building. One of the big
gest telephone exchanges in the world
will be installed in the Mart.
Many other unique features are be-
ing considered for the Mart, including
an Assembly Hall, where trade meet
