ITTING neatly into the artiS~c design of the building are two stairs by means of which the e~ployes of Lloyd Hollister Inc., and vJSators may ascend from the first t~ second ftc:»or and vice-versa. The staars were m~u factured by the United Iron and W11~ Works of Chicago and represent aU that could be asked in the matter of serviceability. · The two s_ tairs in this buildil}g are of a construction which prov1des · a light, strong non-combustable ~~If way. This type is best for a b~ldtD,f' where fire resistant construction IS required. . . . d" The solidness of the statrs IS 1n tcated by . these specifications : a heaVY plate stringer pressed into form; platform plates of heavy blue annealed steel with necessary channel and tee iron support ; treads and risers of heavy blue annealc;d steel with pressed steel nosing and provision for a cement filled tread ; railings of steel bars screwed to channels top and bottom and securely fastened to stringers and newel posts : rivets machine driven.

We extend our heartiest congratulations to Lloyd Hollister Inc. upon the completion of the new building. DRY GOODS 11~5·11~7 TAYLOR'S CBIITRAL AVE. BOOTBRY 605 IIAIK ST. art in the produc:tton of attractive publications are keenly alive to the fact that pictures, pictures that tell the news, pictures that sene to b r i g h t e n the pages, must be presented to the readers. For that purpose a Picture Editor is on the job to direct a photogLea l. on rapher, w h o "shoots,. Secretary the pictures from which La Salle. Eng. the reproductions are Comp&DY made. It is in the reproductive art that the engraver plays his part and it is here that the La Salle Engraving company of Chicago functions. The L a S a II e company handles, exclusively, the engraving work for the Lloyd Hollister Inc., publications and one needs only to scan the pages of our north ·shore News-Magazines to see how well the job is being done. That it is done so efficiently is due in great measure to team-work. Our engravers preach "team-work," and this has worked to our advantage because our policy always has leaned toward co-operation. Such being the case an unmatched senice is rendered, not alone where spee'd is considered, but in the quality of cuts which are turned out. The volume of our engraving business varies. But a fair estimate is that the Hollister publications print anywhere from forty to sixty cuts a month, these including advertising il1ustrations. These -run to aU sizes and varying costs. Wn,Mtm LIP£, WINNETKA TALK and GLENCOE NEws use copper and zinc half-tones. · Service is a high point and as the LaSalle company p e r form s under strong tension, the Hollister publications are enabled to present their read-· ers a fine quality of illustrations, even under "rush" conditions. Last, but not least, we mention that Wu.x.:m LirE, WINNETKA TALK and GLENCOE NEws use a finished paper which gives the best results to reproduction.

May you continue to grow and prosper. Eight Fire Doors Give Protection to New Building ARRYING out studied plans to C make Lloyd Hollister Inc. building fire-proof, special attention was given to the doors and for that reason all in the plant with the exception of those at the front entrance on Central avenue and the office partition doors are fire-proof. These doors are the product of the Variety Fire Door company in Chicago, and are known as Var-clad and Three-Ply. They are built of wood and covered with the best of tin of various plys making them the "last word" in protection against fire. As indicating the size of the job on the Hollister building we call attention to the fact that the Variety company has instaUed one of its doors at the boiler room entrance, four at the elevator entrances, two at the east entrance of the· building, and one at the fire escape. There are folding doors at the east entrance. BBOTBBBS 1143 WILMETTE AVE. - --OPPOSITE POST OFFICE
