Their catalogue calls the Model Structures company a manufacturer of model-makers' materials, scale models, and kits of railway buildings and structures.

To the unsuspecting layman that sounds like it has something to do with this popular model railroad hobby all the kids are following nowadays, but it hasn't. It's not kids that buy kits from Model Structures, it's adults with an appreciation for absolute scale work. 50,000 Adult Customers This company caters to the 50,000 adults who build their model railways to scale, not the 350,000 young- sters who have model railway toys. The company started three years ago as a hobby pursued by R. G.

Kann and his son, Bud, but grew into a nation-wide business when it filled the gap in the model railroad builder's plan. At that time although the mechanical side of model railroading had reached a high state of perfection there were no side structures such as depots, trestles, stations, roundhouses, etc. Kann and his son built model stations and bridges as a hobby, built them to scale using 4 inch to the foot from" 'thVaettlal plans of buildings made by the railroad company's engineers. Then Kann, a former manager of a small railroad line in the east, saw the field for a company that could supply model scale builders with kits, built to scale.

Kann (Model Structures) is at work on one of the minute bolts on his perfect scale model of a railroad girder bridge. The bridge is built to scale using inch to the foot from the actual architect's plans of a Baltimore and Ohio line bridge. In the background is a perfect scale model of the San Jose Southern Pacific depot. (Sentinel photo-engraving.) New (Jianl Size PaKinolivc ISath Soap 2 bars Economy HAIR OIL 8-oz.

Rooms of the Model Structures workshop are filled with jars, boxes of special bolts, and ties, and nails, windows, frames and wood sections all exact miniatures of what railroad companies use. Their exactness would drive most people crazy, but the meticulous scale builders sigh over them in ecstacy. Here, in a few words, is the procedure of model construction from a piece of wood to the finished product.

I'ses Soft Pine Kann uses selected soft pine for all wood parts. It is cut into small, rough pieces for him by Maurice Reynolds, the Soquel avenue cabinetmaker. Then Kann saws it into the even smaller parts he needs. When his sawing and carving are done he has side walls, window frames and sashes, doors, rafters, ties, beams, all the actual wooden framework that goes into a building with every piece built to that minute scale of Vi inch to the foot. engine house are exactly as they would be wTarear track.

A master kit for a duplicate of that engine house would cost $39.32. Another model that shows exacting detail work is the locomotive coaling station. This minute building has pulleys smaller than the buttons on a man's shirt, yet they actually work. Shown in the picture accompanying this story is an exact model of the Southern Pacific Terminal in San Jo.se. This model has a Spanish tile roof with the tile laid just as thry are on the building in San Jose.

The rain drains are in the same spots as they are on the original buildings. The caves have just the right over-hang. It is a model of perfection in every detail. Due to the cost of such model kits, most of Kami's business, naturally, comes from professional and business men. Pride In Perfection The Model Structures company prides itself on its exactness, and because of that perpetual hunt for perfection, Kann has built up a na the instruction plans.

Then To The Customer That mass of materials makes a Model Structures kit that would delight any scale model railroad builder in the world. All the buyer has to do is to assemble it. Model Structures is yet a small concern. Kann Is the president, kit assembler, model builder, secretary, treasurer, janitor and office boy, but already after being in its selected field for only thraw years, experts recognize it as best in the country.

vui ii una idea came the Model Structures company, recognized by magazines such as Model Railroading, the Model Builder, and others, as the leading manufacturer in the nation of model railway buildings kits. Widespread Market Kann has sent kits to every state in the United States, to England, South America, the Hawaiian Islands, to practically place where scale railroads are built. Besides the kit trade, Kann makes a few models of trestles or buildings or roundhouses for special model railroading exhibits. He had an 18-building mining village, all built to scale, on exhibition at the 1939-40 San Francisco World's Fair, built for the California-Nevada Railroad Historical Society. His models are represented in every major model railroad club exhibit in the country.

The Santa Fe Railroad company used Model Structures' materials and models in its scale model railroad layout display on permanent exhibition at the Field Museum in Chicago. Popularizes Railroad Kits Kann doesn't specialize in the special model buildings, but makes them to popularize the field of model scale railroad building kits. The kits vary in price from $2.45 for a standard trestle kit to $62.50 for a standard roundhouse kit. Master kits run a little higher, and the finished models still higher. A finished model Girder bridge costs only $10.50.

but a large scale 110-foot roundhouse costs $190. Kann has one of these roundhouses on display in his own model room. The absolute detail to the building is baffling in its accuracy. It is an exact copy of the Wabash Railroad roundhouse at North Kansas City, Mo. The model was built by Kann to absolute scale from the architect's plans.

Even the pits in the roundhouse have double I beam sections to carry tracks. Four electric lights illuminate each stall. The light sockets are concealed by ventilators with brass hoods. The front doors have four operating hinges. One front and one rear door has a pilot door.

A false roof conceals the wiring; steam pipes act as conduits for the wiring. -The window sills have just the right indentation into the wall, the frames are correct to contracting scales. Even Smoke Marks He has a square engine house on display that is so absolute in detail that even the top of each door where the smoke from a locomotive would scorch the wood in a real engine house, has the black smoke marks.

W. Caletti and company of San Rafael, Frank W. Clark, state director of public works, announced yesterday. The repair work will start immediately, and emergency repair work has already been started, the public works department stated. A temporary trestle is being built to carry traffic, at present routed to San Francisco over other highways.

The bridge was built by Santa Cruz county in 1916 and was taken over as a part of the state highway system in 1933. It collapsed last week while Henry Lncatclli of Santa Cruz, was crossing the span with his truck. Loca-telli barely managed to reach the other side of the bridge before the span collapsed.
