Four of the largest Automobile Plants in the world are now in process of construction, the Kahn Trussed Bar and the Kahn System of Reinforced Concrete being used throughout.
They are the Packard Motor Car Co., the Garford Co., the E. R. Thomas Motor Car Co., and the Pierce Automobile Co. The Packard alone has over five acres of this construction under way. The Pierce contract was given us on April 15th — the buildings, 600x900, are to be ready for occupancy August 15th. Over seven hundred and fifty carloads of material are required for this one job.
Automobile plants require the most modern factory construction — the utmost speed in erection, owing to the rapid development of the business, and must be practically fireproof, strong and durable. Reinforced concrete meets every requirement to the greatest degree.
This form of construction is adapted to all kinds of buildings, including skyscrapers, warehouses, tunnels, or any structure composed of beams and columns.
We are prepared to furnish you with preliminary designs and carefully-prepared estimates of your building entirely free of charge. We solicit contracts on a cost-plus-a-fixedsum basis. We are always ready to send to any portion of the country a most complete construction organization and elaborate equipment for the erection of any structure, no matter how large. We co-operate thoroughly with the architect.
The Kahn system is backed by a million dollar organization, a staff of more than seventy-five experienced college graduated engineers, and equipment to handle every detail of a building, no matter how large, with a maximum economy, maximum engineering skill and maximum speed.
