The first or retail floor, for sheet music
The splendid new building, expressly de-
signed and erected for the Oliver Ditson and books, includes all departments of this
THE NEW DITSON BUILDING.
•
Iron galleries will surround the retail
department on the first floor for the stor-
age of stock in immediate request.
About three-fourths of the area of the
second floor will be occupied by sheet
music stock bearing the firm name of
Oliver Ditson Co.; the remainder of this
floor, in the rear, will be taken up by the
order department, whence music will be
shipped by mail and express. Freight
orders will be shipped from the rear of the
basement.
The retail department, on the first floor,
being located between the book and sheet
music departments, insures an exceptional-
ly quick service.
Dumbwaiters, both in the front and rear
of the building, connect the retail and
other departments. There are also twin
electric elevators, for use in busy times;
or, in case one should be out of order, the
other will be available. On all floors
there are mail chutes, and on most there
are lavatories fitted up in the most modern
style. In the rear of the building is a
fireproof well, with iron stairs, to insure
safety in case of fire. This constitutes an
inside fire escape.
There is also an unusually—not to say
abnormally large freight lift, in the rear.
The building is heated with steam
throughout by means of the latest patent
radiators with aluminum finish. On
every floor there is a standpipe and hose
in case of fire. The iron balustrade and
grille work is very handsome throughout
the building.
On the third floor will be handled the
reserve stock, band and orchestra music
G u i t a r s , Mandolins,
Banjos, Zithers and
Flutes.
