We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Headquarters of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation are at No. 485 Fifth Avenue, New York, directly across the world's most famous street from the public library, which has come to be the focal center of popular interest in the metropolis of the Western Hemisphere. At present, headquarters occupies 30,000 square feet on three floors of an ex- ceptionally light and airy new building, but this will soon have to be enlarged, for the swift growth of business is enforcing an increase in the office pay roll at the average rate of one-half per cent a week. The fact should be borne in mind that the present office force of 342 employees represents merely the staff required to take care of the executive, ac- counting and promotion departments, other departments being housed elsewhere. In addition to the Fifty-sixth Street studio and the New York exchange, described in succeeding pages, the corporation also main- tains a large warehouse and a printing plant at No. 141 East Twenty-fifth Street; a laboratory and foreign department at No. 120 West Forty-first Street; and a foreign shipping and repair department at No. 71 West Twenty-third Street, New York. Headquarters is a pretty busy place. For one thing, an average of 350 visitors call daily on every imaginable errand. Some are salesmen in quest of an order; others have orders to place; yet others seek engagements or have manuscripts to submit; again, some have a business snarl that needs to be straightened out. Whatever their mission, visitors are received with a courtesy above the average; for here courtesy is regarded as an asset as well as an obligation. Three recep- tion clerks are employed, two of whom are constantly on duty during business hours, with the third for relief; so that the two reception rooms are never out of competent hands. Three telephone operators are always on duty, with two for relief at a switchboard which handles an average of two thousand calls a day. L. S. Wicker, Assistant Secretary Interior of Warehouse [ 70 ] Exterior of Central Accessories Warehouse, East Twenty-third Street
