This makes a total thickness of 18 inches for the walls and ceilings, and is increased to 26 inches for the floors. The refrigerating equipment for general market purposes consists of 14 display cases for meat, each having a capacity for 200 cubic feet; 16 storage boxes for meal with capacities ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 cubic feet; and 9 cases for butter and eggs with capacities ranging from 150 to 250 cubic feet. The refrigerating boxes in the rear of the meat stalls are also insulated like the walls with the exception of the win­ dows opening towards the stalls. These openings are insu­ lated, by three panes of plate glass, each 48x48 inches. The largest of the plate glass insulations are in the show cases where plates up to 30x120 inches have been used. In all, the Suess Art Glass company furnished the market with 5,000 square feet of plate glass. This row of meat boxes attains the unusual length of 185 feet. To facilitate the placing of the stock in them, the meat is raised at one end to the market floor and there picked up by an overhead, single track traveling crane and sent down the line to its proper destination. The dried-fruit room is 98x58x6% feet, and has an esti­ mated capacity for 20 carloads. The fowl room has a capac­ ity for 15 carloads. The egg and' butter room contains 2,400 cubic feet. The temperature allowances for the different products follow: Meat, 36 degrees F.; fish on ice and for long storage, 5 degress F.; fresh and dried fruits, 42 degrees F.; fowls in storage, 10 degrees F.; eggs and butter in storage, 20 degrees P.

The liquid ammonia as it passes through the coils in the double-pipe brine cooler absorbs enough heat from the brine to complete the evaporation with a consequent reduction in the temperature of the brine. The brine leaves the cooler at 17 degrees F., and is pumped through pipes to the coils in the various cooling rooms and cases. The main supply and eturn lines are 4 inches in diameter, but drop to 2 inches at the extreme ends of the system. The brine returns to the re­ ceiving tank at 4 degrees below freezing. This tank is 28 ft. long, 6 ft. deep and 14 ft. wide. Seventy-six %-in. air valves, located at the highest point in each set of coils provides for a proper drainage of the system at any time. The pumping equipment consists of three 2-step cen­ trifugal pumps, one of which is held in reserve. These pumps were built especially for the Westlake mar­ ket by the United Iron Works. Operating at 1,200 revolu­ tions per minute and under a head of 80 feet will deliver 180 gallons per minute. All shafts and runners are of solid bronze.

The ticket is divided into two parts. the upper portion carries the name and address of the pur chaser and the number of the coupon in duplicate. Start ing out with this ticket in hand the rounds of the various Stalls are made, each stall putting down its own number with the number of parcels the purchaser has in the proper space on one of the coupons. Ten different parcels are thus allowed for on the coupons and will be delivered for the price of the ticket. The purchaser has to pay as much for one parcel as he does for ten. Having completed the purchases the buyer returns to the Taxi-Delivery office and hands in the ticket which is turned over to a parcel collector who gathers them up ami takes them to the sorting room. A box is assigned to each purchaser and the number of that box is marked on the ticket. As fast as any parcels come up with the number of that ticket upon them they are placed in the box and checKe.! off. As each list is completed the box is placed with others on the automobile and started towards its destination. The large machines have a capacity tor 120 of these boxes, and the small machines for 60 each. Extra charges of 10 cents each are made for boxes, bags and crates of fruits, vegetables and the like.

If you are still clinging to the old style cast iron radiation, you have nothing to help you against the "other fellow's" influence.
