LARGE NEW WAREHOUSE
Geo. H. Brown, of Route 2, is build­
ing a large potato warehouse, 40x82
feet, outside measurement. The build­
ing will be one story high, and will have
a driveway through the center from end
to end, with bins on either side and
underneath the tier of bins an air and
ventilation trench will be made. Tile
and concrete is being used in its con­
struction. The west side of the build­
ing will be mostly of windows, to ad­
mit plenty of light. The purpose of
this particular warehouse is to store po­
tatoes as soon as they are dug; and to
keep them firm and well preserved for
any reasonable time. Gerge Zimmer of
Canby has charge of the building con
struction. The location is on the west
side of the highway south of Aurora.
