TALL BUILDINGS.
The skyscraper Considered as Device
For Saving Labor.

For Saving Labor.
In the tall building it is emphatically
"a condition, not theory that con-
fronts u.s. The many stored Office build
ing is a necessary product of certain
economic factors which have operated in
spite of the architects, and more intense
ly in the United States than elsewhere.
This is what has made it so peculiarly
An American product. OF these econom-
lc factors the cost Of land, SO common.
~ alleged as the controlling one, has
really been the least important. Land
in parts of Paris and London is as cost
ly as in New York and Chicago, but the
Is story Office building has never come
into vogue there, while, on the other
hand, buildings of 10 or 10 stories are
not uncommon in American cities Of the
second and third rank, where land is
relatively cheap. The causa causans of
the skyscraping monstrosity is to be
sought in the drive and hurry of Amer
lean business life, and in the accom-
panying American propensity to save
time and labor. The skyscraper is a
huge labor saving and time saving der
vice.
Each building is almost complete
city, often comprising within its walls
banks and insurance offices, postoff1ce
and telegraph office, business exchanges,
restaurants, clubrooms and shops. The
business man can provide himself with
clothes, shoes, cigars stationery and
baths; receive and dispatch his mail and
his kilograms; speculate on change,
consult his lawyer and his architect in
their offices and transact his own bust
ness-all without leaving the building
in which his Office is located. The ex-
press elevator which shoots him up to
the sixteenth story or drops him with
breathless speed to the basement is a
product of this same American haste
and economy, and without the elevator
the tall Office building would be an inn
possibility. 1t is the triumphant sue
cess of the skyscraper as time saving
invention which has made it SO con-
spicuous and insistent an element in our
