T N these times of close competition and small profits it behooves the employer [ to get the best possible results from the labor of those m his employ m a legitimate way and at the same time study the comfort of the employee. The inventors of the Monitor Closet, seeing the abuse of the old system and under- standing the necessity of a remedy, have brought out the Time Registering Closet, which fills a long felt want. Overseers of manufactories fully realize that much valuable time is “ fooled ” away by operatives absenting themselves from their places at frecpient and unnecessarily long intervals to visit the Water Closet, and often a number are out at the same time, thus losing many valuable minutes, and m the aggre- gate hours of the employer’s time. This notable abuse is obviated by the TIME REGISTERING CLOSET which completely and absolutely prevents an euonnous waste of valuable time with entire satisfaction to both employer and employee. The Monitor Closet Co. claim for their invention : 'Fhat, It is impossible, when adjusted for one person, for more than one to occupy the closet at one time, and should more attempt to enter, the door is automatically locked and remains in that position until the second person with- draws, when it can be closed in the regular manner. That, By means of the G. W. Bowers 'Lime Register, which may be placed in any desired position, it can be seen at a glance whedier closet is occu- pied, and how long by each person, and an unfaithful loss of time prevented. ( 3 ) That, Operatives in any part of the room can see when closet is occupied without leaving their place, by means of the Semi-Cylindrical Door which serves the double purpose of door and signal, the convex side being reversed when closet is occupied, and in cases where the closet is not near the room in which the operatives are employed a signal which is operated by action of door may show in any part of building, from cellar to roof, whether closet is occupied. Per- sons occupying are always in perfect obscurity. These diagrams represent ground plan ; (The Semi-cylindrical Interior and Door is protected by Letters Patent.) Fig. I.

We will mail drafts and specifications upon receipt of order, by which closets may be adjusted by any intelligent carpenter or mechanic in your employ, or we will furnish a man to adjust them, our charge being S4.50 per day. This cut shows the signal which is ojjerated by the door to indicate in a different room from that in which closet is located, and shows whether occupied or not, thus employees may remain at their work until signal is reversed : ( 4 ) The followiiifr tostiinonials are fi‘«>in well-known linns now iisinff (lie I>Ionitor Closets ami are evidenee of tiunr merits; Ston'incton, Conn.

(iK.NTi.EMEN. — Replying to your favor of the 14th of March, 1892, will say that we cannot say too much in favor of your system of closets for we are well pleased with those we bought of you, and we assure you that they are pay- ing us dividends on the investment. \'ery truly yours, .vrwooi) M.\CHINK CO. I'HK LP:(WAR1) silk company. Warehouse Point, Conn., Aug. 17, 1892. (Ienteemen. — We cannot say too much in praise of the Monitor Closets now in use in all departments of our work. We would not be without them, and take pleasure in recommending them to all employers as being something they cannot afford to do without. In our factories the employees also much prefer them to any of the old style of closets, getting better service, as they can see at a glance whether closet is occupied or not. The “ Monitor ” will pay a handsome dividend on the investment wher- ever placed. Very truly yours, FRED’K J. BARNES, Supt. Broad Brook Woolen Company, ) Broad Brook, Conn. 1 To M’hom it May Concern : This is to certify that the Broad Brook Co. are using two (2) of the Monitor Closets manufactured by the Monitor Closet Co., of Warehouse Point, Conn., and would say that the time wasted by employes in too frequent and prolonged absence from their respective duties, has been a matter of serious consideration, and for which there seemed no remedy until we put in the Mon- itor CLOSEre, which are a success in every respect. I would heartily recom- mend them to any manufacturer or corporation. ALEXANDER SEMPLE. .Agent. Broad Brook, Conn. Monitor Closet Co., Dear Sirs. — The (J^loset that you put in this room is a great success ; it is perfectly satisfactory in every respect, both to help and overseers. They (S) L should be in use in every mill in the universe. Hoping that it may prove a suc- cess for you also, 1 am Yours resj)ectfully, JOSEPH PFEIFFER, Ass’t Foreman Spinning Dep’t. JOHN N. LEONARD & CO., .MANIFACTUKERS OF .SILK MACHINE TWIST, SEWING SILK AND SILK BRAIDS, NORTH.AMPTON, MASS. The Monitor Closet Co., Warehouse Point, Conn. Gentlemen. — Enclosed please find check, which includes payment for Nos. I and 2 Monitor Closets. The No. 1 Closet is not as well put up as No. 2, owing to the little knowledge of our carpenter as to the working and general arrangement of the same. No. 2 is more than satisfactory — we use pan drop on No. 2 and trap on No. i, and each works admirably, and no smell is noticeable from either. We shall certainly put in one or two more as soon as we have all our ma- chinery located permanently and piping completed, so that we can best locate them. No expression of praise which I shall or could use is too extravagant to express my appreciation of your so-called “ Monitor ” closet in our mill, and I already know that we or no other mill, if working but one-tenth the number of hands we do, could afford to be without it at thrice the price you charge. Yours very truly, JOHN N. LEONARD & CO. Warehouse Point, Conn. To The Monitor Closet Co., Gentlemen. — 'I'his is to certify that I have tested thoroughly the Monffor Closet which you placed in the department under my charge, and can tnith- fully say that in my experience as foreman for twenty years, I have not taken as much comfort as I have since your Closet was put in. They are no trouble ; they take care of themselves. And the fact that but one can occupy it at any one time, together with the knowledge that the time it is occupied is being regis- tered against them, makes it imjiossible for them to soldier or beat time. We had two ordinary closets for seventy hands, the one which you put in is enough for eighty, and it wouldn’t be in use all the time at that ; in fact, it is just the thing in every way, and I would not be without it under any circumstances. Respectfully yours, •M. I'UCKER, Foreman L. S. Co. ( 6 ) We are also permitted to refer to Messrs.
