and more particularly in the East.
The framework is steel with three
inch cork insulation siding, walls,
ceiling and roof. The cork is guar
anteed to withstand cold and heat
and is efficient insulation against
fires.
R E Eekberg, in charge of the con
struction at Nome, in pointing out
advantages of cork and steel con
struction, referred to a letter from
C F Harrington & Son, Wholesale
Poultry and Eggs, at Hanford, Calif,
in which they mentioned that their
plant had been destroyed by fire. A
large refrigerator constructed with
cork insulation was the only thing
standing after the fire had been
extinguished. When in operation a
temperature of six degrees F. had
been maintained and for almost a
day, due to the burning of the pow
er lines, no refrigeration took place
in the room, and yet when it was
opened after the fire the tempera
ture was still only 21 degrees F. The
wood surrounding the room had all
been burned away and the cork was
only slightly charred, displaying the
fire resisting qualities of this mater
ial.
The offices for the Bank will be
on the main floor and the second
floor will be living quarters and
home of President G. R. Jackson,
wife and family. At present finish
ers are working in the building and
it is expected that occupancy may
be had sometime around the middle
of October. It is understood that
Mrs. Jackson and baby will be in
coming passengers via steamer this
fall.
The exterior of the building is
finished off with concrete stucco and
the inside walls with plaster. It is
a very mordcrn appearing structure
and will include all of the most up
todate appliances in heating and
lighting, together with equipment
for the banking department. As
contractors in the construction of
the new building, the Cork Insula
tion Co., Inc., has erected in Nome,
a fine building, one which should be
a credit to any city, and one which
Nome will be proud of.
