which  were  found  at  128  WiUiam  Street.  This  shortly  became  in- 
adequate and  the  well-known  Lehn  &  Fink  Building  at  120  William 
Street  was  erected.  Laboratories  and  manufacturing  plants  were 
built  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 
Increased  business  had  again  overtaken  Lehn  &  Fink,  Inc.  A 
site  of  20  acres  of  land,  located  on  two  trunk  line  railroads  at  Bloom- 
field,  N.  J.,  with  ideal  motor-trucking  facilities  to  New  York  and 
with  convenient  trolleys  for  Newark  and  other  sections  of  New 
Jersey,  was  purchased  when  it  became  evident  greatly  augmented 
manufacturing  facilities  would  soon  be  necessary. 
Despite  uncertain  weather  and  building  conditions,  new,  modern 
manufacturing  plants  and  laboratories  were  put  up  on  this  site 
during  the  winter  and  early  spring.  All  departments  of  the  plant 
are  now  in  full  operation  directed  by  experts.  The  whole  organiza- 
tion at  Bloomfield  has  been  planned  to  facilitate  a  maximum  pro- 
duction and  many  new  time  and  labor  saving  devices  have  been 
installed. 
Research  and  testing  laboratories  occupy  a  prominent  place 
in  the  new  buildings,  and  rigid  inspection  is  maintained  to  insure 
the  quality. 
The  buildings  contain  every  comfort  for  employees — abundant 
sunshine  on  every  floor,  ample  wash  rooms,  lunch  rooms  and  thorough 
ventilation. 
Power  is  supplied  from  dynamos  driven  by  oil-burning  boilers. 
The  water  comes  from  newly  driven  artesian  wells.  A  machine 
shop  and  box  factory  complete  the  equipment  designed  to  make  these 
laboratories  and  manufacturing  plants  a  self-sustaining  unit. 
A  NEW  MODERN  BUILDING  IN  NEW  YORK. 
During  the  summer,  Lehn  &  Fink's  executive  offices  and  stock 
rooms  will  be  moved  to  the  170,000  square  feet  of  floor  space  in  a 
new  steel  and  stone  building  at  Greenwich,  Morton  and  Barrow 
Streets,  New  York  City.
