Thesixth story is occupied by mailing-rooms, ar-. rangements for the printing of circulars, andthe other miscellany of a great business.The whole building is unique in being j>er-liai:)s the first in America built from groundto top distinctly for the uses of a publishing-house ; eveiyone having contributed to theoriginal i^lanning the experience of years asto the needs in his own department, and theconsequence being an almost perfect adjust-ment of means to ends.
