 The girls of the office force of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing com pany have one of the finest lunch rooms in the vicinity. This room is located on the top floor of the new office building. It has been recently completed and the girls have used it {, number of times. When the new building was being erected, the offi- cials of the factory felt that the need of a good place for the office girls to eat their lunch was essential. Plans were drawn up for the extra story, and decided upon. There are several young ladies who come from out of town and find it impossible to go home for lunch, and so bring their own. A room had been fitted out in the old building for this purpose. The factory workers used this also, and it was, at times, quite crowded.
 The new lunch room is fitted out with nine large white topped tables. The place is large enough and has chairs capable of serving more than 45 persons at a time. The place is also equipped with an excellent coffee urn, where the girls may make their own coffee. Large cabinets for keeping foodstuffs and other articles are on the side walls. Dishes have been furnished by the factory and are used by the ladies. A telephone has been installed and all the conveniences wished for are in the room. The lunch room is for the girls of the office only, whle the other place has been devoted to the factory employees alone.
