Learning that some people are really reading my little scribs, and finding my to my great surprise, myself the recipient of considerable inquiries and a real Mail," — I feel heartened and encouraged, and only too glad to answer any inqu with reference to matters that I am familiar with (coming through the editorial partment of our friend, FILM DAILY, whose valuable space I am permitted to answering same with all diligence and enthusiasm. There is no other trade or profession possessed of as many important detail ths building trade and the architectural profession. Few people — may I not particularly say — few customers, appreciate how muc and how long, a practical experience it takes to become a dependable and succe builder. Seldom do we find clients realizing how many years a real architect must s| in honest study and how much of natural talent, artistry and common business s il takes to successfully serve an industry as a specializing architect. In the field of specializing builders and architects, — the step from the little schoolhouse to the modern high school, — from the old time "Krankenhaus" to the ern hospital, — and many other special building groups, the rapid change and astoui developments have not been near as drastic and fast-changing as in the th building field.

They know how to time building operations with least interference ve | theaters remain open during "face lifting operations."
