OTTO LUHR CONSULTING ENGINEER & HERMAN FRIEDL ARCHITECT
ICE MAKING SYSTEM 154 W. RANDOLPH STREET, CHICAGO
I found this document and the attached papers and photographs among my father's papers. I offer it as an insight into the finances and structure of business and trades in the early 1900's.
There are no dates included in this document but a Google search of "Otto Luhr" produced these items:
Mechanical and Refrigerating Engineer's Handy Book; Otto Luhr; 1913.
Automatic refrigerating liquid feeder and regulator; United States Patent 1725875; 8/27/1929.
Refrigerator car; United States Patent 1642882; 9/20/1927.
Since the title page states "Patent Applied For", this document was probably published around 1925.
Note the prices quoted for materials and labor: Coal, .00 a ton. Unskilled Labor, .00/day; that's DAY, not HOUR. Skilled Labor, to /day Electricity, [CO].009/KWH
Note the job titles in the attached documents: Barnmen, Washers, Blacksmiths
The word "MAINTAINANCE" is thus spelled in the original.
