Manhattan (New York, N.Y.)
Description
Printed on the back:
No. 214. SYNDICATE AND ST. PAUL BUILDINGS, NEW YORK.
Manhattan Island is a narrow strip of land, but in the southern portion of it, the business part of New York, so vast a business is done every day in the year, that, to accommodate the crowds of business men and their clerks, clients and customers, extraordinary means have been resorted to. It would have been impossible to spread these thousands of offices out on the surface, even if it had been available, but by erecting business blocks twenty-five stories high, the much needed floor space was created in a compact and convenient form. Elevators going at great speed, some of them not stopping below the tenth or twentieth floor, enable the tenants to reach their offices with ease, and the appointments of these modern buildings include all the latest conveniences. The little, old fashioned business houses of four and five stories are fast disappearing, making room for skyscrapers.
