VOL. X I NEW YORK, MAY, 1928 No. 5
OVER the courses of commerce, the
marts of trade, and the monuments
to financial preëminence, we gaze now
as we look from our office windows.
It is an inspiring sight to view the river,
with its changing colors, its bustling tugs
and loaded barges, and the ocean liners as
they come and go.
It is a new experience to look out at our
aerie neighbors housed in the palisadic
structures that rise about us and give a
sense of being modern cliff-dwellers.
Looking down on 30 Broad Street is a
literal fact, but we look down on the New
York Stock Exchange and J. P. Morgan's
as well, so that if the building which housed
our old home were capable of being sensi­tive
of its inferior position, there would be
no grounds for such feeling.
The "canyons of Wall Street," as we see
them, are Exchange Place and Nassau
Street, with their surfaces so far down from
our dizzy height that pedestrians look more
like ants than human beings.
Across, on our level in the Broad-
Exchange Building, is the Mid-day Club,
where exclusive captains of industry and
Napoleons of finance partake of their
simple lunches of crackers and milk.
To the northeast, rising in majestic
splendor, is the new building of the Chase
National Bank, surpassed by few buildings
in the beauty of its design, and by none
in the extent of its vertical lines.
Ships, and shoes, and sealing-wax have
nothing on us, using the vernacular. We
now have view, vantage-point, and varying
outside interests.
Speaking figuratively, casting one's eyes
out of the window, in addition to being a
fascinating pastime, well may act as a
sedative to tired nerves, frayed from the
friction of moving a small-sized town. As
one listens to the pounding and clattering
of various workmen, putting finishing
touches on the interior of the new offices,
the wish grows steadily that they too might
go "out of the office window."
