Coop Adding Big Warehouse Building

A large Butler building, 150 feet by 50 feet, is being construc- ted at the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Associa- tion business center this week. The new building, 10 feet high, will have a rigid frame roof, permitting the full use of the building by eliminating rafters, Stewart Durrant, Coop general manager pointed out.
 Forty feet of the new build- ing will be used as refrigera- ton unit for green produce, Dur ant explained, with the balance to be used by the Warehouse for storage of feed, seed, and fertil- izer. Durrant pointed out that the Warehouse did $500, ,000 busi- ness last year and that it long ago outgrew it's storage facili- ties. zs
 The new warehouse building will make it much more convent ent for customers, Durrant said. A new railroad spur will be run in back of the present warehouse building, to facilitate unloading. A 10-by 50-foot dock, three and one half feet high will be con- structed and negotiations are now under way with the City of Palmer to open street that will run between the new Alaska Road Commission garage and the new Coop building, permitting traffic to make a circle instead of having to drive back out through the center of the Coop shopping district Construction, being done by the Alaska Metal Builders, of Anchorage, Butler building distributor, is expected to be completed by September 20. Land clearing for the new building was done by Don Nc. Kechnie of Palmer.
