Valuable Building Suggestions.

A great many business buildings are
woefully unsuited for the use to which
Sthey are put. Poor lighting is the
most common defect; bad ventilation
as another. The firms whose places of
lbusiness are free from these drawbacks
Ipossess immensely superior advantages
IRON a commercial point Of view.
In the instance Of private residences,
the need Of high degree Of trained
skill and taste on the part of the arch
itect is even more imperative. More
than half ones time is spent within
the walls Of his own dwelling. II he
desires to be happy therein, no effort
should be spared to make 1T truly a
Es.home".--a place where comfort and
beauty shall be present at every turn.
How ..any residences one sees to
which Mark Twain's witty criticism
Az applicable: "It's sort Of Queen
\ Anne in front and Mary Anne be-
|Ihind." In architecture as in other
things, good intentions are not enough
Mo ensure success. When natural and
Hacouired skill, extended experience
land trained taste are lacking. the re-
suits achieved must necessarily be
mediocre.
Such ideas and suggestions as we are
able to give arc at your service. We
shall be pleased tn submit sketches
