This building, though six stories in height, 25 feet front and 100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the offices and retail store of the company. The manufacturing is carried on in several large buildings located in other parts of the city, though it is contem plated concentrating them soon in one immense factory to be erected. Their list of recont and early forth coming publications are extremely in teresting to all who enjoy what is choice&t in literature.
