The style Is Tudor throughout and the charm of the early English is beautifully en1- phasized both in the exterior and the interior. The interior Is constructed of tapestry brick in soft wood tones, inc contrast being obtained by the use of Indiana limestone for the trim and light mortar in the mason- ". A parapet wall surmounts the Cornice and a fine bronz marquee lends a hospitable note to the front entrance. The interior walnscoting in rich paneled cathedral oak was both constructed and finished in the case department of the factory. The walls of rough texture are finished in soft brown tones shading to an old ivory ceiling heavily beamed. Hand some limestone fireplaces provide a homelikc atmosphere.
 Opposite the spacious main office room there are three private offices, i reception room, display and con- ference room and rest rooms. The paneled Gothic doors and very ap- propriate hardware and lighting fix lures complete the ensemble. Up stairs there Is Q single large room covering the entire area of the | building with hard wood floor which will be available for enter tainments and gatherings of the | factory employees.
 The present office will be occupied by the employment bureau, suppl, and parts departments and other smaller offices and the transfer oi these departments from their pres, ent quarters will release the entir, factory floor space for the use of tn, assembling and finishing depart ments.
