Fox ¢ Co., Hartford, cxpect to open the | first section of their hig temporary. sivre on Pratt street. The antrance will be through an arcade from' Church street. The public can gain an idea of the dispatch with which the work of erecting this store has teen accomplished when it is stated: that/ four weeks ago today not a bit of excavating had been done and now , the finishing touches are being made, the shelves and show cases and count- ers assembled, and the lighting fix- tures put in.. And this first' section, which will ollowed - within * two er section- extending through' to t street - with two floors, covers no, less than 12,000 square feet. It*will be a fine, big, . airy store with skylights and con- vehiences that go with am: establish- ment that to all appearances = has taken a vear to plan and erect. Amnd all this has been accomplished in four .

Erecting a store like this in four weeks and, at a time when. there was an unprecedented shortage of labor, materials and means of freight irznsportation, naturally demanded herculean efforts. Steel ‘girders and posts were the hardest things of all to get. When steel was mentioned yisions of Pittsburgh 'loomed large, hut Pittsburgh was talking only in million Ten miles from Hartford there was a company that could fur- nish the necessary steel and that com- rany, the Berlin Construction ¢com- prany, was ‘on the job. How to get tiie material' to Hartford was the T | | | iroblem. The railroad was -out-of’ the question; girders weighing many tous were hard to handle quickly. ‘The motor truck seemed to be the oniy available means of quick transa, portation. With heavy and soft roads would they be able to plough through? They did. The heavy con-' struction steel was brought to Hart.} ford by the steady trucks as fast as it was needed, and the work went on with a rush. Bricks for the rough underpinning and foundation were needed. No| time to wait. They were secured from the ruins of the burned build- ing. Fine hard bricks they were— no better In the world. Thus with steel by motor truck from Berlin and bricks from the old buildings, the work was started and as no pimilar work in Hartford was ever done be- fore. ! Erecting such a - building in four weeks is a new record—and one that is likely to stand for years to: come. ¢ ; Before May 1 G..
