A most interesting function at Fish- kill on Hudson. N. Y., on June 2!> was the laying of the corner stone of the new factory for Benjamin Hammond's paint and slug shot works. There were no special ceremonies but the stone, of polished blue granite and in- scribed on one side, "Hammond's Cor- ner" and on the other, "1910," was placed on the corner of the tower building at the intersection of Beek- man and Ferry streets. The metal box in the stone contains a lot of manu- scripts, pictures, and papers that will be of great interest and "historical value in future years. Mr. Hammond was present and personally deposited the articles in the corner stone. The new building will be a handsome and substantial one, a large tower being a feature. The main entrance will be on the corner and the building will lie 40x80 feet. Tile Bencbes, The Camp Conduit Co., of Cleve- land, O., has spent considerable time and study on its hollow tile bench- es for greenhouses, improving them and bringing them up to the require- ments of present day florists. These benches are constructed of hollow tile castings of burnt clay and have the dual merits of low cost and extreme durability. Added to these they can be taken down and rebuilt in other places with the minimum of trouble, are light for transit, clean and very satisfactory as a medium for plant or cut flower growing. The Standard greenhouse bench can be made any length or width. The floor tile are supplied entire or with scoring on the sides for splitting. The height of the bench is 20 inches to the top of the floor tile when erected on the posts but the latter can be supplied longer or shorter at slight additional cost. Clamps of malleable iron are provided to tie the bench to- gether and suitable supports for heat- ing pipes are also provided. In th
