March 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 93 Two Stairways Fit Into the Artistic Design of Building JLriNG neatly into the artistic design of the building are two stairs by means of which the employes of Lloyd Hollister Inc., and visitors may ascend from the first to second floor and vice-versa. The stairs were manu- factured by the United Iron and Wire Works of Chicago and represent all that could be asked in the matter oi serviceability. The two stairs in this building are of a construction which provides a light, strong non-combustable stair- way. This type is best for a building where fire resistant construction is required. The solidness of the stairs is indi- cated by these specifications: a heavy plate stringer pressed into form; plat- form plates of heavy blue annealed steel with necessary channel and tee iron support; treads and risers of heavy blue annealed 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. All Tile Surfaces of Building Given Heavy Tar Coating F the construction of the new Lloyd Hollister Inc, plant the tarring of all tile wall surfaces, the lathing and the plastering were important. Charles E. Welter of 115 Fifteenth street, Wilmette, 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 with white sand plaster. The materials used in the new build- ing were: --9 tons of U. S. Gypsum ground coat, 32 yards of plaster, num- ber 1 torpedo sand, 5 tons of lime, survey of the areas to be heated scan the pages of our north News-Magazines to see how ating the size of the job on Fister building we call attention sie fact that the Variety company .s installed one of its doors at the boiler room entrance, four at the elevator entrances, two at the east en- trance of the building, and one at the Steel Lintels Used in Door and Window Openings of Plant E construction of a building of 4 the fine type of Lloyd Hollister Inc, calls for the use of much steel. This steel must be of various kinds. For instance structural steel lintels of standard fabrications were needed for the window and door openings. The Federal Iron Works of Chicago was selected to furnish these. The amount of structural steel lintels used weighed seven tons. The Federal Iron Works has a branch office in Evanston at 1622 Maple avenue. Big Boiler Located in Sub-basement Is Ideal Heat Producer WHEN the cold biting winds of win- ter and low temperatures force- fully call our attention to the value and necessity of warmth, the matter of heating to protect health, and pro- mote greater business efficiency be- comes a matter of paramount impor- tance. That's why Lloyd Hollister Inc, gave much consideration and thought to the heating system before taking the final step which resulted in the installation of a Heggie-Simplex boiler 'in the new publishing plant. In the sub-basement of the new plant will be found the Heggie-Simplex No. 317, which is most modern in design and construction. The capacity of the boiler is 7,000 square feet, ang it is of the dial code type. The heating surface | f is 550 square feet, with a grate area |* of 20.7 feet. The height of the water line is 78% inches for the boiler whict is 91 inches in height. The widt* 52 inches and length 115 inche width of the firebox is 46 i- length 83 inches. The weight of the boiler + Some boiler?

Over 1,500 lineal feet of pipe rang- ing from 1 inch to 6% inches in dia- meter, were used in the system as steam lines, the radiators in the office supplying more than 1,700 square feet of direct radiation. New Plant Forces Office Supplies to Be Increased SINCE the inception of the company, Lloyd Hollister, Inc., has purchased all office supplies and equipment through Chandlers Inc., of Evanston fire escape. There are folding doors at and this tradition was adhered to in 15,000 Feet of Wire of Various Sizes Strung in Big Plant Ts provide proper motor horse power and lighting for a modern publishing plant requires time. That's why the electrical contractors for the new Lloyd Hollister Inc. building in making their report on the job stated that two men were busy practically each working day from August 18 to January 5 to complete their work. Also they state that a fine arrangement of lighting has been affected which makes the building as well lighted as could be desired. The Bond-Lehman company of Ev- anston were the contractors, and they turned out a good job. In a publish- ing plant the horse power for motor operating is of the greatest importance and with this work complete the presses which grind out WiLMETTE Lire, WINNETKA TALK and GLENCOE News are "raced" by fifty horse-power. It is possible too to increase this by thirty-five horse power. The light service totals 31,000 watts and there is a service cable of 500,000 circular mils. Highly interesting are the figures showing the amount of wire used. Th was necessary to string 15,000 wire of various sizes. Mothers Meet at, Zork in nature study and music #eciation.

LUDLOW GREAT LABOR SAVER The Ludlow typograph machine which sets display type in the Hollis- ter plant is among the greatest labor saving devices ever invented. As in the instance of the Linotype machine, the Ludlow has largely replaced hand- setting and distribution methods, elim- inating all this by its rapid-fire cast- ing.
