ell posts are heXagonal with conical top
and are beautifully carved. Between the
hand rails and treads is scroll work in
black iron, from the Cheney Bigelow Wire
Works of Springfield. The elevator iron
work is carried out in a simple design
and upon the panels on each floor is a
bronze shield bearing the IS. s." mono
gram of the Steiger system. The eleva-
tor cars are in black iron and bronze
with large mirrors on three sides. The
motor is electric and the apparatus such
that the speed is positive whether the
car is loaded heavily or lightly. This is
a decided improvement, as the elevator
rises and falls at a very moderate speed
and the passenger is entirely free from
the unpleasant sensations which are in
separable from an elevator where the
speed is under control of the operator
who may start and stop with as much of
a jolt as his inexperience or humor may
dictate. The elevator is from the Elec-
tron Company of Springfield.
The second floor is given to hosiery, knit
underwear, muslin underwear, corsets,
shirt waists and petticoats, with every
convenience for displaying the goods and
serving customers promptly. With this
large space devoted to but six depart
ments, 1t is easily seen why they are car
ried out with such completeness.
On the third floor are cloaks and suits
"
and perhaps more than any other floor
in the building, this will be found unique
and interesting, for it not only carries
a line of goods which is of large inter-
est to women, but the Steiger Company
here appeals most strongly to the very
finest custom, and displays its goods in
an unusually beautiful manner. The en-
tire space from the elevator to the front
of the building is given to garments, and
from the elevator to the rear is an ex-
quisitely appointed millinery parlor. On
the north side of the suit room is some-
thing entirely new to this vicinity, in
combined store-room and showroom for
fine suits, constructed along lines orig
mated by the late Marshall Field of Chi
cago. 1t is a separate apartment with
glass ceiling placed at about two thirds
the height of the main room. The front
end is about ten feet from the front of
the building and is of plate glass. The
side has three entrances, hung with dra-

ried out in a most attractive manner is
without question one of the finest COM
mercial structures in the country. The
architect was George p. b. Alderman of
Holyoke, who designed the HolyoiIe build
ing of the company, a notably fine struc-
ture. The location of the Springfield
building is in the very heart of the shop
ping district, on the east side of Main
street at the corner of Hillman, the lot
extending back to Barnes street. upon the
further corner of which stands the we'll
known Highland Hotel. The site is about
midway between the Haynes and Forbes
& Wallace stores and is next to that of
Meekins, Packard & Wheat. The build
ing which this replaces was owned by
E. o. Clark and occupied in part by him
as a grocery store.
The new building is, in it's exterior, of
pure Greek design, the front being exc
cuted in white Indiana limestone, the
stone structure being carried around the
corner on Hillman street for about rs
feet. AS shown in the cut, the building is
four stories above the basement, the
lower story being of unusual height, and
all Of the stories above being higher than
is ordinarily found in store buildings. 1t
is superbly lighted. The block has so foot
frontage on Main street and in the lower
story this width is entirely in plate glass.
The large panes are nine feet high by
nearly 16 feet long and the plate glass
construction extends along Hillman street
for about an equal distance, to the car
riage entrance. What the windows are
above is shown in the cut, all the large
panes swinging perpendicularly on their
centres and the transoms lifting hori-
zontally. The block extends back 800
feet, far enough to receive light on its
north side, making the rooms fully light
ed on three sides and partly on the fourth.
The lot owned by Mr.. Steiger extends for
100 feet back of the block, to Barnes
street, and 100 feet along that street,
making 1t possible to construct an ex-
tension which shall be lighted as COM
pletely as the building now erected. This
is an unusual advantage in any city store
building, and much has been made of it.
The main entrance on Main street is
about IS feet wide and deeply re-
cessed. over head 1t is beautifully pan
elled and double-swing oak doors admit
to the store. The interior is finished

simple lines, but the stores are very few,
large or small, which have not made
claim to being in some degree depart
ment stores" 1t has too often made of
small stores a confused mass of mer-
chandise in which no one line could pre-
dominate, and in the larger stores has
frequently resulted in conditions which
Mr.. Steiger strongly feels may be changed
to the satisfaction of the buying public.
He says, Il came to believe, long ago,
that the age of specialization, as this is
called, should extend not alone to the
professions and trades, but to the activ-
tiles that supply the people with their ar
ticles of daily consumption. Since the

The floor is thus traversed lengthwise by
two broad aisles and crosswise by a ten

the north side, above the wash goods
department, is the cash gallery, of ample
size and containing the motor for the
cash carrier system, and desks for the
cashier and assistants.
