Architect and engineer . filteredbefore it passes through the labryinth ofducts and pipes that supply the variousrooms.

Two high speed, self-levelling passen-ger elevators provide easy and convenienttransportation. Every device for the safety and conven-ience of the customers and employees hasbeen incorporated—the owners sole ambi-tion being to provide the utmost for theshopping public of San Francisco. An entirely new vogue in modern arch-itecture has been achieved in the design ofthis building.
