Factory buildings near completion in new Liberty project
Experts marvel at the rapid progress of two months work on the first of several new factory buildings. The structure, begun with preliminary work in June, is nearly finished and will house closed body mountings, experimental land service departments, and a restaurant for Liberty. The plant uses concrete block and steel and may be lengthened with an extra story if needed. Two more massive structures, a gigantic assembly building and power house, plus an administration building, are under way with completion expected later due to their size.
