This view of the machine room suggests the efficiency of the interior of the 

 new Berkey & Gay plant 



capacity of 2.000 persons. It has a large stage and a gallery. This 

 building and this hall wiW be the center of the social activities which 

 have long been a large part of the program of Berkey & Cay. It 

 was one of the things in which Mr. Gay was particularly interested 

 and most active and in the construction of this new factory he gave 

 perhaps more attention to this feature of it than to that which had 

 to do merely with the turning of lumber into furniture and the 

 turning of furniture into dollars.

 In the boiler room is the dust arrester system and from every ma- 

 chine in the factory a 1 40-inch fan draws the shavings and the dust 

 to this point to be fed automatically under the boilers. 



So much for the plant itself. There is still another feature in 

 which Mr. Gay took a particular personal interest. On the Ottawa 

 avenue front and near the corner of Walbridge street is the recrea- 

 tion hall and social center. The building is 127 by 129 feet, three 

 stories high with lumber storage on the ground floor. It is of 

 Mooiish architecture and is furnished beautifully throughout. 



The main entrance is on Ottawa avenue, but there are entrances 

 from the factory building for both men and women. The women 

 have a club room of their ow^n w^ith wide windows opening into a 

 large kitchen from which cafeteria lunches are served. There are 

 toilet rooms, shower baths and dressing rooms for the women also. 

 The men have the same facilites on their side. But beside this 

 there is a large auditorium about 100 feet square, with a seating
