Red brick building has row of windows across its entire third floor and MONO LINO TYPESETTING in metal Plantin type over the raised front entrance

I am daunted by the prospect of having to write a full history of this place, which I called on the telephone as a teenager. I could hear a lot of industrial sounds in the background as I asked the woman (yes) for as many specimen books as they could possibly airlift to New Brunswick.

(Then later I shot the place with a better camera.)
