PULLMANS WORK.

Bis Effects In Rataing CWoaeo ' Buildings.

Jjbly in the sixties the raising of the level of Chicago had pat all the princi pal dowp „wn streets a half dozen feet above the basement windows of houses' md stores, The owners, of course, set about restoring the old order of tiling, jotj1 the method which most of them were Mloptjng was to so cub the tiro bOT that the basement flooring could be slipped up to. where the socond story belonged, *he second-story floor to tho third; and the third to the roof. The re sult was that the four-story buildings became simply three-story ones, and so oadsp. i'Bllman stood at the corner oi Randolph and Dearborn streets watching this sorb of progress in operation on one of the old brick buildings. "Why don't yon," he said to the owner, "raise & building from tlie ground ? Then it wouldn't be necessary to tear the inside of the building to pieces." The owner turned to Pullman,and remarked that it might keeseaped his notieo that tlie building to brick, not wood. "No," the answer t0,'"16 was plain the house was brick Kdoli, but ib was as plain that the whole fintine could be raised from the ground rtebreaking any of the plastering and. tit disturbing even the furniture." flicoaVeraation is historical. It turned out'to b^'of^i-ry great consequence to a great many people, and there are any number pi peoples familiar with all its de taik'„<T„at estate owner told George. JlPultpian that if he could raise a house in that way, and could guarantee that it wuH be done safely, he would like to have him raise the .brick, drug store that stood on the comer directly opposite where the Bonlen block now is. How much would it cost! Tjje. house^raiser—Pullman was in tktbusiness theu—said he'd take the con tractforjustwhatit cost by the old-fashioned K#d, There were bickerings, naturally, bntb'nally abovit 3,00 men one morning sur- Wnded the brick drug-store and began to putin place a forest" of jack-screw's.: old wtizens say there were a thousand of them, Thesehad been bought, some of them, and wrowed, All the screws in town were on to lot, and hundreds that had been wgbtfrom down East. A. B. Pullman, abrother, stood at one corner and the mil- Iwnaire President of the Palace uar Com pany at another. As George M. Pullman Brad[his ivrm A. B. Pullman raised his, Jfuthen eaoh man gave one turn to the rarce or four jack-screws that were under «arge. Half Chicago was on the spot.
