"From Turret to Foundation Stone" Complete design and construction of all types of structures are in- cluded in the service offered by The Foundation Company. Efficient pro- duction in industry is dependent upon scientific design of plant;— and initial cost of plant is depend- ent upon economical, rapid and skillful construction. Modern factory buildings must contain every facility to meet the demand for ef- fective mechanical operation, and for con- [ sideration of the human operator. The mill built for Courtaulds, Limited, at Cornwall, Canada, s ia model of such factory con- struction. The construction of the locomotive erect- ing shops of the Southern Railway at At- lanta, Georgia, is a notable example of complete service rendered by engineering contractor, working in full cooperation, in both design and construction, with the engineers of the railway company. Often considerations of location determine a site where construction of the foundations is rendered unusually difficult. The New York Telephone Building, of which Marc Eidlitz & Son, Inc. were General Contrac- tors, was placed where the Hudson River used to flow; yet modern methods permitted The Foundation Company to construct the substructure reaching to rock five stones below surface level.
