It is a ono story building with fourteen foot celling enabling tho ono roof to cover a large amount of storage space. In order for a city to be a distribu ting point It must havo storage spaco where consignments can bo placed during distribution. Every firm can not afford to own n storage plant but 1 it can afford to pay tho storage i charges on local consignments which are received In carload lots although , , --- "-"" it may take months to dispose of tho I goods at retail. .. . ,. - xiiu oiiiiuii .uiikiiuio nun tui.tua large amount of raw material and fur naces which are received In carload lots and it alms to take caro of these goods in its own plant.
