It's worst stages, for although this amount
OF reward has for many years been offered
by the proprietors of DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, for any case Of catarrh they can
not cure. yet notwithstanding that thou
sands use the Remedy they are seldom
called upon to pay the reward, and when
they have been so called upon they have
universally found that the failure TO cure
was wholly due TO some overlooked com.
plication, usually easily removed by a
slight modification OF the treatment.
Therefore, If this should meet the eye of
anybody who has made n faithful trial of
this great and world-famed Remedy with

tire edifice 5S feet high high with cupoa
and observatory at the angle. In the rear
there is a substantially built engine house,
29x59.6 in area and 81 feet high, with lof-
ty chimney and large brick water tank on
the roof.
The building is of the most massive char
acter, the walls being all twenty inches IN
thickness and the heams and pillars OF e1-
ira weight and size, while the floors, OF
white Canada maple in three inchtstrIps,
are laid close and smooth and are Double,
with fire proo6ng material between them.
The entire interior is divided up into three
sections by double fire proof brick walls, set
fifteen feet apart, the nterspace being of
fire proof material with brick arched floors
and used only for storage of dies, stones,
tools. and other costly paraphernalia of the
factory, which could not be replaced in the
ev. nj of loss by fire under very heavy ex-
pense. All these materials are non COM
Dustible, and even should fire occur in
the factory there could be no fear Of the
destruction of more than one section. But
even this is rendered almost impossible,
for the tank on the roof of the engine room
i kept constantly full of water, which is
circulated all through the building at
high pressure in pipes specially fitted with
hose and hydrants for use in case of lire,
whil,. the use of all materials that are rot
Gre proof has been carefully avoided as far
as possible in all parts of the building.
The interior Of the entire structure is finished
in hard woods lighted by electricity and heated
by steam. and the very best sanitary arrange
mcnts are furnish, d. Over the engine room in
the rear are tho dressing rooms for Tue female
employees with well ventilated closets, lavatories,
etc ard in the dressing room 300 wardrObe or
clothes lockers for their use. In another part of
the building separate accommodations of the same
character are provided for the men, the greatest
care being taken by the provision Of separate
corridors and entrances to prevent any objection
able publicity.
Not only is the building of the most massive
proportions, but is built of the finest of materials
and in the most careful manner and presents an
imposing and attractive appearance. The plans
were prepared and the entire construction super
