Office Fixtures 



m 



The manufacture of fixtures for banks, offices, stores 

 and halls is a large industry and has been greatly developed 

 in recent years. Nearly 200,000,000 feet of lumber are re- 

 quired annually to meet the demand and much of it is of 

 the highest grade and runs largely to stuff of extra widths 

 and free from defects. 



Fixtures constitute a sort of connecting link between 

 furniture and interior finish. Furniture may be removed 

 from a room without damage to the room or the furniture; 

 finish is intended to remain permanently where it is 

 placed; and fixtures can be removed or rearranged to some 

 extent without destroying them; but to do so requires fit- 

 ting and remodeling. Following are some of the ordinary 

 classes of fixtures: Counters in banks and stores; shelving 

 and cabinets in stores; glass or other partitions in offices 

 and banks; rostrums and railing in public or lodge halls 

 and pulpits and altars in churches; built-in desks and wall 

 seats in counting houses. The list might be extended 

 almost indefinitely, for special kinds of fixtures are manu- 

 factured to meet particular needs. Some factories which 

 produce them are prepared to work according to specifi- 

 cations, and in that case fill orders only, while other fac- 

 tories work according to general plans and offer their 

 products on the market.
