Showing Anderson Carriage Co. Factory, Detroit, in process of construction. Kahn System of Remforced Concrete used throughout. Work com
pleted in forty-nine days—twenty days inside contract time.
The requirements of modern buildings are fully met by the Kahn System of Reinforced Concrete.
If Speed is demanded it can be obtained in an unprecedented degree by the Kahn System, and yet this speed is accompanied by
Perfect Safety when in the hands of experienced men exercising care in handling the details and giving proper attention to the requirements of the design.
Stability is equally a characteristic of this method of construction, and is testified to by the appearance all over the country of buildings having the enduring qualities of structures carved out of solid rock; in other words, monolithic in type and, therefore, best adapted to withstand the attacks of time and other destructive elements.
The Kahn System is based on the use of the Kahn Trussed Bar, with rigidly attached, shop-prepared diagonals, whereby the cost of installing is reduced to the lowest possible point and the highest degree of reinforcing efficiency is secured.
The Kahn System is endorsed not only by official tests, but by the even more convincing tests of actual practice—structures now in daily use and open to public inspection and . investigation. For example: Such buildings as the United States Naval Hospitals at Washington and Annapolis, and numerous other Government buildings; the Farwell, Ozmun & Kirk Co. Warehouse, St. Paul, Minn.; the immese automobile plants of the Cadillac, Packard, Pierce, Garford, and Thomas companies, and hundreds of other structures, including warehouses, factories, office buildings, railroad round-houses, coal breakers, bridges and viaducts.
During the coming year we will continue the publication of the “Trussed Concrete Bulletin” and if you will write your request on your business letterhead, we will be pleased to place your name upon our mailing list.
