The DAC is located on Madison Street in the heart of Detroit. The founders of the DAC went to Albert Kahn to be the architect. Twenty two bidders nationwide bided on this project. The board members wanted the project to be all Detroit from start to finish, even if that meant going higher than the lowest bidder. The contract was awarded to Vinton Company of Detroit for over $600,000. Over forty subcontractors and supplier companies joined in on the project. Kahn was a successful architect of the automobile companies of the city of Detroit. His ideas are inspired from Italian Renaissance palaces in Florence, Italy. They chose Kahn because he had a plan of open interiors and the use of reinforced concrete, and exterior of brick and stone. It took him months to design the layout of the building which ended up being six floors plus two mezzanine levels. The project required 1,350 tons of structural frame steelwork. The main entrance was to be off Madison Street. The face of the building was set to be made of Bedford limestone. When you walked through the main doors you enter the lobby which embedded the Italian Renaissance feel with its walls wainscoted to the ceiling with large panels of American Walnut and a fireplace made of Hauteville marble, and the floors with Tennessee marble.

National Bank of Canada ("NBC" or "the Bank") is tasked with the decision to review Dawson Lumber Company Limited's ("Dawson") request for an increase in its line of credit up to the amount of $10.8mm. Dawson intends to finance inventory and receivables with the line of credit. NBC must remain cognizant of the competitive landscape of the lumber industry and assess whether a focus on the retail segment is beneficial to Dawson's strategic plan.

However, extending Dawson additional credit may increase Dawson's default risk and jeopardize the potential for NBC

For any civilization or colony to develop, there will be obstacles that get in the way of settling. Early civilizations like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Indus Valley all dealt with difficulties of creating an advanced system of living. When early settlers sailed to the New World, they attempted to create settlements. Many failed, but some persevered through the obstacles that faced them. Charles Town, South Carolina was one of the settlements that was successful. This colony was the first settlement to be developed in South Carolina. Charles Town was named after King Charles II who granted the Carolina's to Eight Lord Proprietors. Lord Proprietor Anthony Ashley Cooper had an idea of creating a large port town that could import and export goods with Great Britain. He developed the colony at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River in 1670. It was later renamed Charles Town in honor of the King. Making Charles Town a successful colony was not easy. Why was settling in Charles Town difficult? Charles Town was difficult to settle because of the layouts of maps, resources, and diseases.
