"The windows in the Hollister building are the most modern and best made," he says. "The material in the windows is a recent development which has provided copper-steel windows. In the process of manufacture a certain percentage of copper is used, this beang poured into the raw steel. This produces a more durable steel, a metal that will stand up longer under rust. "Perfect weathering in the casements is provided by means of the head drip sub-sill and Jam angle, this forming a sub-frame which insures rigid windows. It is important that the leveling and framing be properly treated to produce clean architecture and this has been stressed in the work on the Lloyd Hollister Inc. building."
