Manager's Dining
& Living Rooms 

The progress of wireless telegraphy is well illustrated by these photographs taken in the quarters provided for the management, for they clearly indicate the change to ideal living conditions, as contrasted with the cramped quarters in bleak localities which until recently were the land operators' portion.  The smaller picture on this page shows the dining-room of the manager's cottage at Belmar.  The cottages, of which this is typical, have bee furnished throughout by the Marconi Company; handsome electric fixtures, high grade rugs in Oriental paiterns, pictures, chairs, tables, buffets and the various items of furniture, were selected by a special committee with a view toward tasteful harmony with the surroundings.  The lower view is of the living room, the feature of which is the tapestry brick fireplace.  Easy chairs upholstered in leather, rocking and straight chairs, settees and dining-room chairs, too, are all upholstered in leather.  Bookcases and library tables are further aids to comfort.  The bedrooms, of which there are four to a cottage, are finished in mahogany, with two rugs, straight and rocking chairs, enameled beds, chiffonier or dresser and appropriate pictures.  The bathrooms are fitted with the very best of fixtures and the kitchen equipment includes a large range and hot water boiler.  The cottages are steam heated from the power plant
