    about two years, and we can say with much pleasure that it has worked very satisfactorily, and proved itself all you claimed for it. It lias been a great blessing to us all, and we would hardly be willing to do without it. Respectfully yours, E. H. Peekins, Jr., Cashier. VENTILATION OF THE CHEMICAL NATIONAL BANK. Chemical National Bank, New York, Dec. 29, 1873. We have had in operation in our banking room, for a period of about two years, Gouge's System of Ventilation, and have found the same serviceable in the highest degree. With a corps of about thirty clerks, and numerous dealers constantly coming and going, and a number of gas burners lighted a good part of the time, we found some ventilation essential; and have every reason to be satisfied with the system adopted, and take pleasure in commending it highly to all having similar need of relief from the deleterious influences of foul air. G. G. Williams, Cashier. VENTILATION OP THE MERCANTILE NATIONAL BANK, NEW YORK. Mercantile National Bank, New York, Jan. 24, 1874. Mess. H. A. Gouge & Co., Gentlemen,—Your Ventilating Apparatus has given entire satisfaction here, and its beneficial effect is appreciated by every one in our office. We can, with confidence, recommend its introduction to any one who has the matter under consideration. Yours very truly, N. Amerman, Cashier. VENTILATION OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, NEW YORK. New York, March 17, 1875. H, A. Gouge, Esq., Dear Sir,—In response to your inquiry we replj^ that our room, contain- ing over forty clerks, and as many gas burners, we found impracticable to ventilate with any degree of comfort, until we tried your system, which gives great satisfaction. Yours respectfully. Geo. F. Baker, Cashier. VENTILATION OF THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. The Mutual Life Ins. Co. of N. Y., 144 & 146 B'way, Nov. 16, 1874. Mr. H. A. Gouge: Your efforts to improve the ventilation of the rooms in the actuarial de- partment of this Company have been successful, and I very cheerfully com- mend your plans to others suffering, as we did, from the effects of bad air. Yours very truly, Wm. H C. Bartlett. VENTILATION OF THE EQUITABLE BUILDING AND PRESIDENT'S HOUSE. Equitable Life Assurance Soc'y, December 16th, 1873. Mess. H. A. Gouge & Co.: Gentlemen,—I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the excellence of your work, and the highly satisfactory Ventilation, which is the result of your system.
