Eleer. Lightning Rod. in Chicago.

The Electra" Lightning Rod Co. of
Cresco, Iowa, secured the contract for
installing lightning rods at the Recre-
alton Camp of the Chicago Telephone
Co.; situated about 80 miles west of
Chicago. The buildings at this camp
and some AZ acres of ground repre-
sent an expenditure of s150,00000 to
$200,000.00. The installing of these
lightning rods was done by Andrew
Smith and Son who came to do the
work all the way from Cresco and
when finished received the approval
and praise of the engineers of the
Chicago Telephone Co. In order to
secure the contract the Electra"
Lightning Rod Co. had to bid and sub
NIT samples of their product against
all of the Chicago lightning rod man
ufacturers, and their being awarded
this important contract speaks highly
for Cresco goods and Mr.. Smiths long
experience and knowledge in the cor
rect application Of lightning rods.
The architectural beauty Of the
Main, Service, Gate Lodge and Garage
buildings are drawn hundreds OF Wis
itors to this camp. Its purpose is to
provide place of rest and enjoyment
for the 5000 telephone operators Of
the Chicago Telephone Co., where ev-
eryone of those strenuous public ser
wants can come during a period of
rest each year on full pay. The COM
pany is concerned with the rest of
its workers as it is with their labor,
and like many other large corpora
tons of this day, recognize the fact
that only in loyalty and satisfaction
can come the best Of service.
The coy Main building named Mar
garet Mackin Hall for one of the most
esteemed of the telephone company's
workers will accommodate almost one
hundred girls at a time when the east
wing, not yet started, is completed. 1t
is of Colonial architecture, with large
living room in the center and bed
rooms in suites of two with bath room
for each suite From this an arcade
about 60 feet long leads to the Serv-
ice building, where are dining room,
kitchens, laundry, heating plant and
other accessories, one of the most in
teresting being the flowing artesian
well twelve inches in diameter where
the purest water comes gushing up
from vein over 200 feet below.
