This is a comparatively new building erected
about five years ago and designed especially for this
business In its arrangements we gave careful
thought to the comfort and convenience of our en-
ployees. Large open floor space with an abundance
of natural light supplied by the large windows on
three sides of the building.
The windows are what is known as "austral' in
style and are designed so to give perfect ventila-
ton without causing draught.
A portion of our employees, who at the present
moment have temporary grievance against us, have
made the complaint that the work rooms were badly
ventilated and were otherwise unsanitary.
In as much as it would be impossible for many of
you to visit our factory and make personal inspec-
ton we decided that the better plan would be to have
pictures taken and bring the factory to you so that
you might be in better position to act as Judge.

We might state for your information that
an official from the District Board of Health
