A record in fireproof construction made possible by the Kahn System of Reinforced Concrete
In September last, just at the opening of the rush season, part of the plant of the Anderson Carriage Co., Detroit, was destroyed by fire, as illustrated below. On October 3d contract was let for a reinforced concrete building three stories high, 91 x 303 feet in size, and on November 3d the building was under roof, as illustrated above.
The contract called for the building ready for occupancy
in forty working days.
The Kahn System, based upon the Kahn Trussed Bar, was used throughout. The Kahn Trussed Bar, when imbedded in concrete, gives the most scientific, economical and thorough reinforcement obtainable. Buildings erected by this system are monolithic in type, impervious to fire and the ravages of time.
The Kahn System insures economy in design through the experience of our Engineering Department and minimum cost of installation through the use of the Kahn Trussed Bar, which is shop prepared, thus sliminating much expensive field labor, and making possible a speed in erection never before attained in structural work.
Detailed information and interesting literature sent on request. If request is written on your business letter head, we will send you the “Trussed Concrete Bulletin” one year, free of charge.
