is a subject of much solicitude on the part of architects, engineers and owners. Many give up
the idea of building until spring on account of the extra cost of winter work by most of the

buildingmethods nowpursued.

Reinforced concrete con-
structions have been erroneT
ously pronounced "outof the
question," and passed by for
the winter job in spite of their
recognized economy.

But here comes a system to
the front, which, although an
economical reinforced c o n -
crete construction, is
entirely available for winter
building.

In System M of the Standard
Concrete Steel Company the
backbone and entire skeleton
of the building is an independ-
ent steel frame fully capable of
sustaining all the structural loads
and carrying them in spite of
the omission of or freezing and

UnHke all other concrete constructions, the work can be carried up several stories ahead of the
íĩoor slabs, and when necessary the roof put on the building before the fĩoors are installed, thus
insuring protection from storms that w6uld stop the work in other methods of procedure.

The accompanying photograph shows a building which was buiU under these conditions, and
with several others was successfully íinished in the most severe winter weather known in New York,
