THE Woodwork building. New York

"'The Cathedral of Commerce" This
marvellous building is 49, feet or 61-

tracted representatives from more
than sixty different countries.
About four hundred feet of the out
side of the upper portion of the tower
is flood lighted at night. This causes
the building to present bold and i'm
posing spectacle-visible. It's said, 40
miles nj sea. The structure weighs
223.OO0 tons. this tremendous weight
being supported by 90 caissons, the
largest 10 feet in diameter all going
down To bed rock or 40 feet below
the sidewalk. Engineers claim its con-
StructiOn is so solid and safe that it
would withstand wind having "a We
locity of 200 miles per hour.
About 80 people are required to op-
crate and maintain the building. which
contains almost thirty acres of floor
space. The tenants and their employ
ees number about ten thousand. To
serve them and those who enter to
transact business with them. % ele-
vators are required. About 25,OW peO-
pie. on an average, ride in them daily
Approximately 100000 pieces of mail
matter are delivered in the building
daily. The two elevators which oper'
ate to the tower are the fastest ele
