Ventilation of this space is accomplished by direct work run along the ceiling, up the building to the penthouse where an exâ€" haust fan expels the cigarette smoke and foul air of the billiard room to the open alir. A fine qxample of this modern spirit of architecture is the new Sky Buildâ€" inz in Timimiins. The horizontal lines, emphasized by the broad plate glass windows, give a feeling of quiet dignity which is in keeping with the functionâ€" al character of the building. The maâ€" terials employed in its constnuction, from the reinforcing steel in the conâ€" crete foolings, to the metal caping on thr parapet walls are all genuine maâ€" terials tried and tested by time for the particular function which they play in the building.

Standard wall fixtures and adâ€" justable shelves are flattering in the interior decorations as is the indirect system of lighting. A special tobacco section and maâ€" vazine rack are situated at the front of the store, where the business man on his way home from work can readily find his favourite magazine and smoke. The modern woman will be especially delighted with the display units that are cut into each corner of the cauntâ€" ers, and she will marvel at the "sleekâ€" nrss" of four special display units, fashioned into the walls. These disâ€" play units have indirect lighting that will readily show the articles on disâ€" play, but will not send a glaring light into other parts of the store. The modern open type dispensary is especially worthy of mention. Carrying out the pearl grey and navy blue color scheme, the open effect will guarantec the product, as the customer can see the materials ranged on the beautifully designed and finished shelves.
