That's · the thought that persisted when the architects drew the plans for the new publishing plant of Lloyd Hollister ·Inc. And the result is a building admitting as much sunlight as is possible. On all four elevations, south, north, east and west, there are windows, not here and there, but everywhere. That description, of necessity, brings us quickly to the matter of glazing and here we find most interesting data. First we'll cite figures which tell an interesting story-there are more than SOOO square feet of glass of all types. That's a lot of glass. Second and also important in the fact that the glass, which was furnished by the Tyler Hippach company of Chieago, is of the highest grade, a big percentage is 'lire retarding, while Solite-which means a glass that gives the highest percentage of daylight and at the same time destroys the sun's glare forms an essential feature of the glazing. The types of glass vary, but all is of one quarter inch in thickness. There is fire retarding wire glass and polished wire glass and polished plate glass of double strength. Glass one quarter ineh thick serves to keep the heat in and the sound out. That is important in a publishing plant. All the glass in the Hollister Inc. building is made in America. The Tyler Hippaeh eompany has two faetories. one in Streator, Ill, the other in Stirling, Ind. 1 : lister Inc. building caDed for a skylight and this will be found in the one story portion of the building. The Blaski Manufacturing company of Chi~o which furnished this skylight whach measures ten by forty feet imparts the information that it is the most modern and the best that can be produced. The skylight is of galvanized 18 gauge copper bearing steel and has steel operators with steel trusses. It is of the ventilating type and may· easily be opened. Counting, we discovered that there ~re seventy-two glass lights. · These lights -are one quarter inch in thickness and are of wire glass. n. ... ....--........ ., . o,e.-~- .' ............... ....iaaaoft··· of npc. n. faa.. 11111 fnlla caol air widsa.C die . . . . . dnft.
