of properly-drilled firemen taken from the
regular employees staff. Pneumatic cash system connecting with every
part of the store selling space; not only utilized for carrying cash,
but also providing the means of ventilation, by using up and discharging
thousands of cubic feet of impure air regularly, and bringing fresh air
into the building constantly. Complete staffs of engineers, carpenters,
painters, etc., are almost constantly employed in looking after
additions, alterations, and repairs, thus keeping the whole building in
perfect condition. All are under the direct management of experts, whose
mechanical skill is utilized to assist in rendering the store service
complete, and whose services are recognised on an equality with those
occupying the most responsible positions in connection with the
business.
