In Answer to the 

 Question — 



" Why are lighting fix- 

 ture so often incongru- 

 ous and out of all harmony 

 with their sur- 

 roundings" — we 

 will say that 

 much depends 

 upon the design- 

 er and manufac- 

 turer to retain re- 

 finement of line 

 and detail even in their inexpensive 

 productions. 



For the protection of our clients, our trade-mark will 

 be found on each and every piece of work made by us.
