DIVIDING THE WORK.
Seven Firms Instead of One to Fit Out
New Building.

New Building.
1T may seem a rather odd arrangement
at first thought remarked Mr.. Isadore
Saks the other day. as he was chatting
with a group of friends, but we are hav-
ing the fitting of our new store building in
New York city made by seven different
firms. Instead of giving to one firm the
contract for the show cases, tables and
other fixtures which will be needed in the
seven stories of that great structure. we
adopted the policy of allowing only one
concern to bid for the supplies for one
floor, so that seven firms are doing this
work"
You ask the reason for such an arrange
ment?' Mr.. Saks continued 1T is obvious
enough TO one who has had experience
with the delays and the losses occasioned
by fires. Suppose we had given the con-
tract to a single concern, and few weeks
before the middle of September, when it is
expected the building will be ready for our
use, fire sweeps away the plant of the
concern holding the contract. What then
would become of our plans for an opening
at the middle of September, or not later
than October 1? 1t is obvious that new
date would have to be selected and we
would be obliged to bear the delay with as
good grace as possible, for there would
be absolutely no remedy. 1t would be i'm
possible at that late hour to get the work
done
las II is" Mr.. Saks continued. .If one
Of the concerns with whom we have con-
tracts should suffer a disaster of that sort
the effect on us would be comparatively
light, only the fittings for one floor
would be involved. In structure Of the
magnitude of the new home of Saks & Co.
in New York city such considerations are
OF great Importance. The Herald Square
Realty Company that is erecting the build
ing is expending for the ground and the
structure a sum of money that aggregates
three million of dollars. These figures give
some idea of the extent of the structure
that has a frontage of 221 feet on Broad
way, 80 feet on 33d street and 100 feet on
34th street. 1t will rise to a height Of
seven stories and will have a basement
and subbasement, and in all respects will
be modern, up-to-date structure where
everything ready for men, women and
children can be found"

LONG AND ACTIVE LIFE

Mr.. William Gait died at an early hour
this morning at his residence at the
northwest corner of 9th street and Grant
Place. He had been unconscious for several
days. His last movements were unattended
with pain and his life slipped away with
the calmness of a child dropping off into
slumber. About his bedside were his
nephews and his physician and nurses. The
end was not unexpected, as 1t had been
realized for some days past that he could
not last much longer. There was no or
