Steel Building Meets Growing Demqnd for Porrobility

A new brochure describing special cost-saving building techniques for commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings has just been issued by Empire Steel Buildings, 2137 North Marianna Avenue, I.os Angeles. Copies of the new brochure-Empire Steel Buildings-may be obtained without charge upon request to Mrs. Sally Robin, Empire Steel Buildings, 2137 N. N{arianna Avenue, Los Angeles.

To meet the constantly increasing demand on the part of rapidly expanding industries for factory housing which is highly portable, Empire Steel Buildings, Los Angeles, has developed a steel building as sturdy and long-lasting as regular permanent structures, but which also possesses a remarkable portability.

This engineering development has special consequence for industries whose production and storage buildings must be frequently relocated with new projects, such as lumber and agriculture. Empire's new portable steel buildings efficiently provide the flexibility required.

In an Empire portable steel building, wall sheets attach to horizontal steel frames, which in turn are bolted to the main-frame columns. This makes easy dismantling and erection elsewhere. Buildings are designed to be fully leak proof-and Empire fittings provide a positive seal.

A typical portable Empire building has been moved a total of seven times. Each dismantling and re-erection was rapidly accomplished in a matter of days.

These readily movable buildings are one phase of Empire's over-all one-contract building construction. Empire designs and builds all types of industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings.

Empire steel buildings utilize both a rigid frame, clear span and a flat rise, tapered girder design. Both types lend themselves to varied architectural arrangement, and may be designed to support all types of cranes and monorails of any capacity. Both basic designs lend themselves to an almost unlimited number of specific adaptations to provide clear span post-free buildings with space which may be utilized up to the underside of the roof.

Mt. Whitney Lumber Company Facilities

Completed by Empire

One of the first structural steel sawmills in the country was recently completed by Empire Steel Buildings Co. for the Mt. Whitney Lumber Co., at Springville, Calif. Steel was selected as the basic building material largely because of the known low maintenance cost of steel buildings. Measuring approximately 20,000 sq. ft. in area, the new two-story mill incorporates more than 300 tons of structural steel, and as a heavy logging facility, will have a capacity of 120,000 board feet of lumber per day. Plant and equipment represent an investment of more than half a million dollars.

Empire Steel Buildings Co., constructed the complete project.

Los Angeles.-Officials of Grandview Palos Verdes recently joined in tree-planting ceremonies at the new planned residential community. The 'builders said tree plantings will continue on sites of several hundre'd homes to be built this vear.
