existence. The handsomely fitted up quarters
which occupy the entire second floor of the Cable
building annex already give evidence of being
entirely inadequate for the retail business alone,
and in all probability another floor will be de-
voted to it in the near future. This additional
floor it was first intended to devote to the whole-
sale department, but the development has been
such as to compel the making of arrangements
for handling the wholesale stock elsewhere. Half
of the third 1/nor of the tig Bauer building, two
doors south from the Cable Annex, has been
leased, partitioned off, and is now being fitted
up. Shelving and bins are being erected capable
of holding 48,000 cylinder and 72,000 ten-inch disc
records, allowing plenty of room; space is pro-
vided in addition for the 12 and 7-inch records.
In the front of the floor will be a completely
equipped repair shop. Extending over a large part
if the room will be a gallery for horns and acces-
sories, and in the rear will be ample storage
room for machines.
