Description	A cropped version of this photograph appeared in "The Siege of University City" by Sidney Morse, with the caption "Average daily incoming mail of the Lewis enterprises of about 5,000 letters." The Correspondence Department was responsible for opening all the mail and routing it to the appropriate department for response or action. Interior doors in all second floor offices enabled employees to move from office to office without going out into the main hall. These doors also helped to provide air circulation in these otherwise confined spaces.
