The Oregonian Building in Portland
“It contains the largest air conditioning and heat pump system in the United States with 4 1/2 miles of ducts and 840 temperature control elements,” the caption on the back says. We’re guessing 1940s.

Sheesh. No wonder the temperature’s never right in here. Building was finished in 1946, apparently. http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=streetoregonianbuilding-portland-or-usa

The Oregonian building has a few elevators. I have recently taken over the family business that my father started back in 1977. We are registered with the city of Portland as an Emerging Small Business. At this time I make the following proposal to you. I will beat what you are paying now by a clean third. And real service on your elevators.
