A GIANT BLOCK
Toronto, in Canada, will shortly possess the largest business building in the empire. An insurance company has decided to erect a block of offices 24 storeys high with accommodation for from 12,000 to 15,000 people. It will have a total floor area of 35 acres, with" a frontage of 420 ft. and a depth of 220 ft., while 37 elevators will save the legs of the workers. Even more impressive is the fact that the cafe connected with the building will seat 2500 people at one time. What this means in terms of table accessories and food may well be imagined.
