CONTRACTS LET
FOR NEW FACTORY
TOCOSTS500.000
Hope to Complete. Big Addi
tion to M. .E. Smith & Co.
by the Middle of Next
i ' . Summer. . 1
. E. Smith & Cov yesterday an
ounced that contract! have been
let for a new $500,000 factory build
ing at the southeast corner of Tenth
and Douglas streets, to the Tames
Stewart Construftion company of
New York City. The work of
wrecking tire old brick and frame
structures which now occupy the
site will begin January 15, and ex
cavating will start February 1. It
in ucncvru nidi tnc Duuuing can dc
completed by the middle of next
summer.
The construction will be of con
crete and steel, absolutely fireproof
in every respect. The building will
,, be occupied exclusively by the gar
ment factories of the company, now
housed in the north part of the twin
buildings which it occupies, v
Many novel features have been in
corporated in the plans by Architect
Frederick 5. Stott, who toured the
country studying factory construc
tion, before beginning his work. A
day nursery for the children of mo
thers who may wish to work in the
garment shops, will be one of these
features the 'first to be announced
for any industrial building in the
city.
Another feature is the large cafe
teria which will occupy practically
the entire eighth floor. This room
. will be finished without posts of
any kind, thus providing a large
auditorium in which conventions of
salesmen, as well as social gather
ings of employes, may be held. .
' The company will erect a dupli
cate building at the northeast cor
ner of Tenth and Farnam streets in
the near future1, having purchased
the ground several months ago. At
present, however, this site is occu
pied by buildings on which unex
pired leases are held, delaying build
ing operations. .
Annual Automobile
Show at Auditorium
' March I to 6, 1920
At a meeting of the directors of
the Omaha Automobile Trade asso
ciation Wednesday the dates for the
Fifteenth Annual Automobile show
were set for March 1 o 6. Plans
are under way to make this show
the most attractive ever staged in
Omaha. ' v
After a considerable amount of
discussion it was agreed that the
Auditorium twould be the best place
to hold the. show, even though it
does not afford the desired amount
of space. The McCaffrey building
will be used to increase the exhibit
space. It is . planned this .year to
use two floors of the McCaffrey
building. i . y
According to Clarke G. Powell,
manager, more dealers will exhibit
and more cars will be exhibited
han at any other Omaha show.
Each dealer will make a strong ef
fort to secure the entire exhibit
displayed at the Chicago Automo
bile show, and in addition to this
the dealers will decorate' their show
rooms in attractive style during the
show week. With this double dis
play arrangement it is hoped that
the splendor of the automobile
show will completely overshadow
all other events.
