I, Best Wishes The completion of the new home of Lloyd Hollister Inc., is a splendid achievement. We rejoice with you. Please accept our best wishes for your continued success. MILLE HARDWARE CO. 1219 - Zl Wilmette Ave. 1 demand for commercial work at the Lloyd Hollister Inc. plant is so insistent that the Parker, Thomas and Tucker Paper company of Chicago has become one of the companies furnishing us with a considerable volume of stock. T h e remarkable prQgJess scored in this division of the publishing business is indicated by the fact that in the Al..t B. T_._ last year Parker, Thomas and Tucker have furnished us with 235,000 sheets of bond paper, 26,000 sheets of book paper, 3,100 sheets of cover paper, 5,900 sheets of miscellany and 5,400 envelopes. . ONVERTED . to the be~ef that an oil burning system would prove C best in the new publis~ng p~nt, Lloyd Hollister Inc., let the oil bumtng equtpment contract to B. F. Reynolds and company of Chicago and results have justified the choice. The equipment is completely au.tomatic in operation, a thermos~t be1ng located on the· sec:ond ftoor, wh1ch may be set at any de!ired leJ!IJ?erature. ~ nozzle of the a1r atomaz1ng type 1s placed at the rear ·of the Simplex ~i!er, firing toward the front, thus gtvmg the longest possible travel for the hot gases and using the entire heating surfa-ce of the boiler to best advantag~. Air and oil supply for the nozzle as furnished by a motor dri~en combin~ tion air compressor and atr pump umt. Ignition of the · oi! is b:y combination electric and gas p1lot bght, the gas being used only at the time of starting. . A low water safety is also provided which prevents operation of the burner. if the water in the boiler is below proper level. · When the temperature m the room drops to the point at whi~h the the~ mostat is set, the burner 1s automat·caJty started. When the te!"perat'!re has been raised to the destred pom t the burner automatically shuts down. The system with its full automatic controls represents the best modern practice in oil burning. All Tile Surfaces of Buildint Given Heavy Tar Coating N the constrU'Ction of the new. Lloyd Hollister Inc., plant the tarrmg of I all tile wall surfaces, the lathing and the plastering were i m p o r t a n t. Charles E. Welter of 115 Fifteenth street, Wihnette, handled this job in a satisfactory manner. In order to prevent any possibility of these tile walls sweating or of moisture seeping through, the entire tile surface was coated with R. I. W. water-proof tar. Over this was then placed an expanded metal lathing and the regular plaster surface. The partitions of the building were constructed of a plaster composition hollow tile, Prv-a-bar, manufactured by the United States Gypsum Co., and the plaster was spread directly over the surface in this instance. The walls of the shop sections were coated wit~ white sand plaster. The materials used in the new building were :-9 tons of U. S. Gypsum ground coat, 32 yards of plaster, number 1 torpedo sand, 5 tons of lime, 3 tons of plaster of paris, ~ gallons of R. I.
