I will afford ample sunlight.
I Three offices will be used, one loi

private office for Mr. Erk.
A large stock room with a loading
platform separate the offices from th.'
main production room. Separate
rooms will be used for storage of 1

has been completely equipped.
A locker room, equipped with fifty !
individual lockers has been installed,!
