New Fireproof Store Planning With Modern Showroom

A new building combines waterproof concrete blocks with porcelain enamel on heavy steel facades and Zeon lighting for night silhouette. Heavy trusses allow an unobstructed floor area, a large show room with concealed lighting, and modern interior décor. Schampel Heating, formerly Chicago, will handle Timken silent automatic oil and Fair Banks Morse coal burning equipment. The Crabb plan includes a community store front for up to date commerce as outlying residential growth expands.
