afford you pleasure and profit.
Among the new machinery added are
twenty double sets Of elevators, thus
making forty elevators which run from
the first floor To the top OF the mill.
Heretofore the elevators were scattered
here and there. many Of them starting
in the basement. Now they are con-
centrated in line ia the center OF the
building. Machinery operated in the
basement has been transferred to the
floors above, thus doing away with tho
annoyances often caused by high water.
