E. K. \(/ood Oakland Yard Completes Big Concession Booth Order

E. K. Wood Lumber Company's Oakland yard has been a very busy place in the last few rveeks, for in addition to normal activities an order for the fabrication of 160 concession booths for the Golden Gate International Exposition has been turned out in a little over one month's time.

The contract for the materials and fabrication of the structures was taken on December 27 and delivery had to be made by February 1. For a while Manager James N{cNab was a little anxious, but with a combination of good planning and fine weather the job was finished on time. Wet weather would have increased the difficulties of the job, but results have shown that with the large amount of shed space available the work could have been completed within the time limit in any case.

Wcshington Stcte Building ct New York World's Fair

A modernized Colonial type of architecture was decided tupon for the Washington builcling by the group of three Seattle architects who are in charge of tl-re plans. This conservative design was the decision after many conferences of the architects' committee, states Victor N. Jones, rnember o{ the committee, as it r,vas felt that simplicity of line u'ould make the building stand out among' the mass of ultra-rnoclern designs used by n.rost of the exhibition buildings.

"Four factors, we believe, will aid in giving the Washington State Builcling prominence," Mr. Jones says.

"Tl.re first is the simplicity of clesign, rvhich contrasts with the spectacle of 'suspended time' spirals and ultramodernism on every hancl. We believe the moclernizecl Colonial style 'lvill be restful and inviting to r,veary sightseers.

"Secondly, the grounds on rvhich the Washington building is located, are quite spacious. The building itself is 60 feet br. l0O feet u.ith colonr.radecl portico in front.

"Thirdly, the Washington State I3uilding is on one of the main thoroughfares.

"Fourthly, the Washington building is glistening rvhite, in the maroon zone. The fair grounds are laid out in color zones, and the fact that Washington's structure gleaming white amid surrounding maroon buildings, will make it stand out. The white texture paint being used is fror.n I. F. Laucks Company, Seattle. At night the building rvill be illuminated on all four sides."
