Here Less Than Two Months,
nancial Leader.
When the Lombard Investment COM
pany decided to locate branch Office in
st. Paul and completed its arrange
ments for headquarters in the GLOBE
building it was apparent to those
familiar with the history of the large
financial corporations of this and other
countries that st. Paul had become the
Northwestern business center for the
largest loan agency within the limits
of the United States. Knowing full
well the business capacity and methods
predicted for them such success
as comes only from long expert
ence and the building up of
such reputation as the Lombard COM
pany has made for itself, not only
in the West, but the Eastern states as
we'll, during the past half-century. Go
to any part of the United States or
Great Britain and ask who the Lombard
company is, the universal answer will
be that it is one of the largest and best
conducted financial institutions in the
world. Before an emplOye is placed in
position of trust he is known through
out as to ability and reliability. and that
same course was pursued III establish

No employe is more familiar
with the working methods of the COM
pany and none possesses more marked
ability.
While only established in st. Paul
since Nov. |, the Lombard Company
has already taken its place alongside of
the Oldest and best known loan agen-
cies in the city. all of which is most
gratifying result, not only to the man
agement themselves, but also to the clti

ciate energy and enterprise as it is APP

The Abiding Place of Busy Men.
A modern building represents in an
other form the same general organism
as human body. The body has syS-
tens of nerves, circulation and respira-
ton. The beautiful building which the
GLOBE occupies in st. Paul, and the
still more beautiful one which it is to
occupy in Minneapolis, have features
which completely correspond to these
systems. In the first place, the electric
wires correspond to the nerves of the hui
man body. There is the annunciatOr sys-
TEN, telephOna system, Geographic SyS-
TEN and heat regulator system of wires,
each having its own special function.
In the second place, the circulatory SyS-
TEN is represented by water pipes.
steam pipes and compressed air pipes,
the latter serving, with the aid of the
electrical system, to regulate the steam
valves. By the way, the GLOBE build
ipgS are the first Office buildings in Min
nesota to introduce the latest improve
ment in the perfecting of buildings.
This Improvement consists in fitting the
building throughout with electric wires
and compressed air pipes, so related to
each other and to the steam valves that
"thermoStat" on the wall of each office
controls the steam heating of the room.
By setting the thermOStat at any GER
tain degree the steam will be autOmati-
cally shut off from the room
when the temperature reaches the
desired point. 1t is likewise let
on the steam when the temper
ature falls below that point. Thus, with
out attention, the Office is kept at a uni
form temperature. No attention is re-
quired and the occupant ceases to think
of the heatlLg apparatus, instead OF be-
ing obliged, as in the old way, frequently
to turn the steam on or off. The time
will come when not only first-class
blocks, like those built by the GLOBE,
but all others will use this device. The
invention is Western one, emanating
from Milwaukee. and is called the john
son system. The respiratory organs Of
the body are represented in our best
buildings by the ventilating system.
The transoms and CRATES are the lungs
and bronchii through which fresh air is
supplied to the army of jewellers in the
business hive. Instant communication,
swiftly running elevators, abundance
of light, pure air and uniform temper
AZURE are the essentials of a modern
building.
