That's all right.
Were you ever in the "Rookeryf" The
"Rookery" 10 O palatial Office building In
| Chicago. 1t was named the Rookery from
merly occupied by the tumble.down
buildings which served for the city nall
| of that city after the fire OF 1872. just
across the street Is the Home Insurance
building, which Is finely fitted up.
Further along the th~oroughiar on tne
corner OF Adams and La Sale streets, Is
the Women's Temple building, large, com
modious and first-class in every particu-
lar.
In New York you will find several not
able Office buildings, where interior deco.
ration and beauty of architecture attract
the attention. When you go to Philadel-
phia you will find in the Trust building on
Chestnut street something to more than
temporarily attract the attention.
These buildings to which i refer are
monuments to the enterprise and lavish
expenditure of money OF their several
promoters, and not only that, they served
to become guides to capitalists who con-
templated erecting similar office build
ings.

which was formally opened Saturday to
the admiring gaze OF thousands OF people,
was contemplated q committee Of inspec-
ton visited the large cities to gain the
requisite Information as to what 10
add and what to discard In max,

building, one which would be a credit to
the CITY and reflect its worth in its rich
appointments. This committee consisted
OF the following gentlemen: Samuel Z.
Colt, Henry b. Winship, Leander X. Peck,
Newton ID. Arnold, Henry X. Barker and
the late Nlcnolas Van Slyck.
