Til.- lest feature in the way of convenience at Mr UameionV new factory is the fact of every department having an inde, no-nt door (or Ingres-and exit to and fio u :n -oiil-oie i ! Ine building, so that mease .4 w.i.dv or wet weather impart wiuro the no ir is situate can only bealDcted by attacks of du-.lor rain.
