THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE nUILp1sa
givos it the appearance OF a vast audienco-ro room
with four tfors Of galleries above it. These up
per stories, or !galorics, aro reached either by
handsome M staircase or by two elevators, one
Of which ia of Otis best pattern, and tho othe,
botter than most elevators in tho city. They
arc both lArge, md capable of carrying twice
the load they will contain without giving way.
Tho gas-cllandoliese. fixtures, and carpoting oi
tho store arc I'LL admirable, and the ceiling oi
the first two storeB III very prottily adorned with
fresco-work, imparting an air Of richness auite
In harmony with tho elegance Of tho goods dis
played.
The building is protected against fire by the
introduction Of stationary tuboH in tho wall for
conveying water to tho upper stories, These
wore'built into the etlifco during its congtr,ic
ton, and would have aayod its roof, without
doubt, had they bcen in working order. Mr
Field thinks thnt no fire of any magnitude car
occur in tue building during ts occupancy. II
IL 80 like ono room that fire can DO dlscovorol
within fow moments of its originating, and the
means are at hand to quench it Immediately
Tliore will DO about 600 employees In tho building
