Hipolito's New Offices

The nerv offices just occupied by the Hipolito Company, Los Angeles, are a revelation in effrciency and general upto-dateness, both in arrangement and appearance. One of the noticeable features of the layout is the ease with which important department heads may be reached and the open ofifices of the two partners, lI. L. and L. M. Rosenberg. The offices are located directly across the street from their main factory and plant. The rapidly increasirrg volume of business of the company necessitated giving up the office space formerly contained rvithin the factory walls, the ne'w arrang'ement permitting expansion of the factory proper rvithout enlargement of the building and further permitting the expansion of their lumber storage yards

The offices themselves are finished in Upson Board for rvhich the Hipolito Company are distributors, the woodwork being Philippine Mahogany colored to a medium Walnut. The large general office shorvn in the picture gives some idea of the spaciousness of these quarters. Directly back of the Rosenberg Brothers' desks is a private conference room which occupies the corner of the building-a delightful, sunny, comfortable room.

Sufficient space has been secured in the new building to adequately house all on hand stocks and permit of the rapid filling of orders for city and suburban delivery. Arrangements are being completed to take further advantagc of the new ldyout of offices so that all carload orders may be loaded with even less handling than was heretofore necessary.

The forethought of the proprietors in the planning and arrangement of these offices is indicated by the installation of a thoroughly modern rest room for the women employed in the office, which includes attractive furniture, lounges,. etc.

Space in the old plant formerly occupied by the offices, as well as the old garage building, has all been turned into productive uses. Under the new arrangement it will be possible for the Hipolito Company to more than quadruple its lumber storage space and at the same time greatly increase the daily output of finished screen doors and rvindow screens.

San Diego's Snark

Here is a splendid likeness of Homer H. Miller, Vicegerent Snark of the San Diego Hoo-lloo.

Rather late to be publishing a picture of Homer as he has been in office since last September, but those that know the genial good-looking gentleman will appreciate thatit has taken this long to get him cornered for a sitting. It was through the combined efforts of three photographers, a special representative of this publication, and the entire San Diego police force, that Homer was induced to stand, in the sun, and have the 'shot' made. This was during the recent convention of the Pacific Coast Hardwood Dealers Association.
