of the excuses advanced for chang
ing the headquarters from Pueblo to
Denver WIS that there was no build

but what the executive offices of tho

with tho plant.
With the completion of the new

adequate office room is overcome. 1t
Is asserted by persons in position to
know that one entire floor of tho

for headquarters for corporation
