called at their ofice and ascertained
that It has recently opened offices
in New York City, in the Metropolitan
building at No. i Madison avenue. in
the heart of the business district,
where it has formed desirable busi-
ness connections. it has considered
this move for many years, but NSas
unable to accomplish IL owing to ne
continued extensive operations In
this and adjoining stares.
This firm having secured several
important commissions for architects
ural work in the vicinity of New York
City, with immediate prospects for
several good contracts In that city.
has located offices there in order to
be better equipped to handle that
work more expedltIously and econ
omically than 1t could from Clarks-
burg.
It will still maintain its headquar-
tiers at clafksburg, with Ernest C. s.
HoInboe in charge, while Robert c.
Laferty Will have charge Of the New
York branch. which assures their
numerous clients in West Virginia.
Maryland and Virginia that their in
terests Will be taken care OF In the
future with the same fidelity and
proficiency as have characterized
their work in the pastsand on larger
scale.
Messrs. Holmboe aud Lanerty are
recognized as architects OF marked
ability, whose many years OF success
full work and honorable business
methods have won for them a place
in the front rank Of American archi-
tects. Not only are their talents
recognized by the business world, but
by the members Of e!rsprofession.
Having specialized Tor years de-
signing public buildIngs. such as
schools, colleges, COURT houses, 1ails
and banks, they are recognized as ex-
perts in that line OF work and their
services have been eagerly sought
after in this and adjoining states. as
evidenced by the scores Of structures
designed and built by them.
Several large buildings designed
by this firm are now being construct
ed under their supervision in Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia and
Florida; while others will shortly be
Under way at Mt Clair, n. J.. and on
Long Island, y. Y.
While the closing year has been the
most prosperous one 1t has enjoyed
since locating here, twelve years ago,
it's prospects for the coming year are
brighter than ever. With the aid OF
the New York branch Office it is con-
idently believed that it's business for
1912 will be double that OF 1911.
The members OF the firm desire to
impress upon their West Virginia
friends who have 80 loyalty aided
them in building up their business to
its present proportions. that they are
going to maintain their principal
office at Clarksburg, where they will
be better equipped than ever to carry
on their work on an enlarged scale
and with greater dispatch. The es-
adjustment of the New York branch
was the logical result OF the expan-
sion Of their business, which required
the presence of one OF the members
of the firm in the East constantly to
look after their last growing inter
ests in that section.
It's increasing business in the East
is deserved compliment to the firm
for there they come in direct COM
petition with the best architects in
the world and must have the ability
to cope with their. competitors on
merit alone in order to be successful
and this firm is we'll able to do that.
