dressed one side, ripped; one piece one inch by ten

How to Build. 



The process of building works best in the follow- 

 ing order : Make front and rear frame by nailing the 

 one-inch by three-inch by six-foot floor and roof 

 stringers to the two by two corner posts. Then nail 

 on the two by two center studs. 



Set up the frames three feet apart, as shown, and 

 brace them at the ends, temporarily, by tacking on 

 some laths so they will stand firm and plumb. Nail 

 on the one by two strips and one by one cleats. Next 

 lay the floors, beginning with the lower, follow with 

 the inside partitions and thereafter the sides and roof, 

 completing the structure by framing, wiring and fit- 

 ting the doors. 



The plant of the South Main Street Rabbit 

 Exchange, of Los Angeles (see page 203), provides 

 housing for a possible herd of five thousand rabbits. It 

 serves the requirements of an industry doing an ex- 

 change business and raising market supply. It com- 

 prises a series of five buildings forty-eight feet long 

 and three buildings seventy-two feet long, each being 

 twelve feet wide, with thirty-inch roof projection, six 

 feet nine inches high at side wall and eight feet nine 

 inches at ridge pole. Also on the front is a half build- 

 ing which may be thrown into view from the boule- 

 vard by raising a curtain and thus expose three 72-ft. 

 tiers of hutches, with the included rabbits, to the view 

 of the passing autoists.
