This showroom is sep- arated from the cafeteria by large sliding doors, which permit the combined area 'to be opened into one large room. The office, showroom and caf- eteria (which can seat 100 per- sons at-a time, and has complete facilities for serving hot, full- course meals) are in a part of the building elevated slightly from the warehouse in order to utilize nat- ural light through windows in all four walls. The office area is di- vided into one private office for the President, one used as a board and conference room and the re- mainder is a large general office. This general office contains low- partitioned offices along both walls for supervisory personnel, and a Temiskaming Construction Lid.
