ATTENDS CONVENTION

DR.. Harley G.. Mccormack
of 2629 Sheridan Road, one
of Zion's optometrists, attend
ed the 39th Annual Meeting
of the Illinois Optometrist AS
sociation held at the Morri-
son Hotel, Chicago.
The association monthly
magazine has published a very
interesting article on DR.. Nc
Cormack's new office build
ing, which we reprint here
with:
During the past two years
more than one hundred Illinois
optometrists have profession
allied and converted store ap-
pearing fronts and interiors
into ground floor professional
offices, eliminating all trace
of commercialism. There is a
definite trend in this connec-
ton, and one of the outstand-
ing examples of establishing
modern, professional optomet-
ric offices is the new office
building by Harley G.. McCor-
mack, O. D., at 2629 Sheridan
Road, Zion, Illinois.
DR.. Mccormack designed
his building for use by two
other veterans and himself.
The first floor is used by DR..
Mccormack and an attorney.
All three professional men
have common reception room
and receptionist. The building
is located on the main street
of Zion, in the center of the
business district, and is set
back about Is feet from the
sidewalk, with a lawn and
shrubbery for landscaping.
The reception room walls
are painted sunlight yellow
and Wedgewood blue, with all
the wood being finished in linn
ed oak. The refraction room
side walls are finished in an
tique green, which is dark

is white, while the checked
wall paper on the walls at each
end of the room is a darker
shade of green with silver and
white stripes. The draperies
provide a splash of color, as
they are bright sunlight yell
low.
Lighting consists of strip
fluorescent, imbedded in the
ceiling. DR.. McCormack's
equipment is all ivory tan, and
the woodwork is finished in
walnut. The notable features
of the refracting room are the
high work table behind the re-
fractive chair, with built-in
bookcase and storage area be-
hind sliding panels, together
with a built-in sink top which
is very convenient. The entire
arrangement is beautifully
suited for contact lens work.
The visual training room
walls are done in pistachio

ing in this modern office, and
from hearing most every pa
tient remark how attractive
his office appears is a great
source of enjoyment and pro-
fessional pride. He strongly re-
commends any optometrist
contemplating a change to
professional office to do so i'm

vites his optometric colleagues
to visit his office, or write
him if he can be of any assist
