of the Detroit Jewish community.
This attractive brochure, printed
through the courtesy of the
Aronsson Printing Co., with en-
gravings furnished by Modern
Engravers, is replete with photo-
graphs of the occupants and the
interior of the building. The book-
let describes and depicts the gay
sunparlors that are gathering
places for the old folks during in-
clement weather, the broad
breeze-swept roof garden which
lures them out of doors on bright
warm days; the wide, well-lighted
hallways provided with ramps
leading from floor to floor so that
faltering feet need not negotiate
stairways; the large, airy dining-
room; and the modern kitchen,
divided into two units for meat
and dairy meals, each unit com-
plete in itself.
