My memory of Sales Mangers Offices from the '50s and 60's of IHC-JD and AC as they were the ones I most often frequented was a cornor Door entering into an area of about 8'X 8' enclosed by at least one wall and maybe 3 walls of which the top half was Glass,the better to see who was entering the dealership so the Saleman could make a fast exit or else greet the prospective customer and make a quick sale.IHC Dealers of that era generally had the Prototype Building of IHC Corp. design.
