'. ar t h I The Stitch Is Lest Unless the Thread Is Knotted Little sister, jiiBt learning te sew, vcame back with tears te her mother after an hour of 'failure. Dear little soul, she pulled her thread through without any sqnsc of the need of a knot. When we built this Stere building, we put stitches in it all ever te held things in their places. The first care was te go down te the water for . foundations and under it te lay stones en the rocks, hence we have no smelly basements. The second care was daylight and fresh air blowing through from all four sides of the sky. Thinly-unbroken level floors. Ne ups and downs; no dark corners; four big, wide staircases from top te bottom and scores of elevators Tunning; fire towers, twenty feet square, brick walls and stone steps and stone floors from top story te street fleer, landing outdoors en city pavements. Oup first care is for the visitors' safety, w.hich guarantees the safety -of the empleyes. Our second care is, be of actual service and financial saving te our patrons, preferring net te offer any service that we are net sure will be for their benefit. We are net yet perfect, but we are still striving for it. QM hmwfc.
