AttractiveIy Arranged.
The rooms have been so nearly finish
ed now that it is possible to get a
very fair idea of what they will look
like when the work has been quite conf
pleted. AS has been stated in the
Morning News, they are located on the
second floor of the building at the
northwest corner, a position that gives
unlimited light and an exposure that
promises to make them most comforts
able, even on the hottest of days,
The trade room consists Of the
rooms formerly numbered 202 and 203
which have been made into one, Civ
ing ample space on the wall for five
blackboards and room on the floor for
two tables, on which will be placed
the daily papers, chairs and such other
furniture as may be necessary. This
room has been finished in terra Gotta,

dark green linoleum. OF the boards,
which have been placed in handsome
oak frames. three will be devoted to
naval stores, one to lumber and the
third to hay, grain and provisions.

has been set aside for the directors and
committees. The walls of this have
been finished in olive green, the cell

not be permitted in the trade room!

phone booths, telegraph call boxes and
everything else that will facilitate the
convenience of the members of the or

trio lighted, and during the cold sea-
son will be steam heated.
The New Quarteras
Each room of the suite has a sepa.
rate entrance opening in from a cor
rider, so that there will be no neces-
sity Of passing through any one apart
rnent in order to reach another. The
members Of the Board of Trade are
more than pleased at the condition, as
we'll as the location of the new quar-
ters. From the standpoint of location
alone it means a great deal to its
members, for a large number of the
most prominent of them, particularly
in the naval stores business, are al
ready located in the Germania Bank
building, and others have planned 10
