Mr. William George Jordan's “Little Room” 
is a place of quiet tones and restful atmos¬ 
phere. Even the rows of books are ar¬ 
ranged with a gentle slope so that the eye 
is not disturbed. Symmetry and good pro¬ 
portion prevail 
The office of James W. Gerard, Esq. ( be¬ 
low) has been done in the spirit of the 
French 18 th Century. Two murals painted 
in the Watteau manner by Harold Sterner 
make decorations on the vivid green pan¬ 
eled walls 
In Messrs. Douglas Gibbons & Co.’s offices 
the furniture is old oak, with a piece or 
two of dark maple. Maps and scenes of 
18 th Century New York are on the walls.
