OLD BROADWAY, WORLDS GREA TEST STREET
Property Gnuhr7h the MhonI

hotelward-the glow is bright again in
the east and a fresh army of toilers
and pleasure seekers is rolling down
Broadway to take up the burdens of
another day.
Broadway is long street. 1t extends
from the southernmost tip of Manhat-
tan to it's extreme northern point when
the Hudson and the Harlem join to
shut it off from the mainland This
is distance of some fourteen or fif-
teen miles. AS matter of fact the
street retains it's name and identity
all the way along the eastern bank of
the Hudson to Albany, 40 miles away.
Along its course within the boundaries
of the island it exemplifies every &C
tivity of the city and nation of which
1t forms part. More than 800 900
people live along it and 100000 trips
a day are made on foot and in vehicles
along and below its surface. Thirty
million business transactions involv-
ing amounts from a penny to million
of dollars take place along it during
every twenty-four hours. 1t is bus
mess, shopping, theater, hotel and res
taurant street and as many a confirm
ed Broadwayits has discovered it pos
sible to find almost every conceiva-
BILE means of making and spending
money within its limits.
Beginning it's course at the Bowl
ing Green where the Dutch burghers
of New Amsterdam smoked their eve
ming pipes and shifted the salt breezes
coming up from the bay for the first
half mile of its length Broadway is
the street of big business. the home of
the trusts. Almost at its lower end,
No. 26 is the Standard Oil building, it's
twenty floors devoted entirely to the
activities of the great oil combination
and its subsidiaries. Along this part
of the street are the Offices of the big
steamship companies. the steel corpor-
alton, the rubber trust and scores of
representing hundreds of millions of
invested capital. Interspersed with
these are banks, insurance companies.
.awyers' and brokers' offices and all
the varied machinery required in the
operation of great financial under
takings.
Farther up between City Hall park
and Union Square, Broadway runs
through the heart of the wholesale dis
trict. For some two miles it is lined
with great merchandising establish
ments in which are gathered the man
ufactured products of every part of the
world. Above this in turn Is the retail
district. The crowds, which further
iown, consisted chiefly of men, show
as great majority of women as soon
as Fourteenth street is passed and the
zig department stores which have sue
ire thronged with smartly dressed
shoppers

stand in the future in all probability
the finest and costliest of New York's
homes, residences of the fashionable
wealthy.
Broadway has two advantages which
many other famous streets lack-a
worthy beginning and ending. At its
lower end is Battery park. a spot
greenery looking out upon the busy
waters of the harbor, and at it's upper
terminus is to be placed the beautiful
Hudson memorial bridge which will
form a fitting gateway to the city from
the landward side Broadway
will always be the street of spectacles
and professions, the national parade
ground and the national playground.
Even in the matter of age, Broad
way has no mean record. In the early
days of the city it was the natural
highway from the lower to the upper
part of the island, since the ground
on both sides now occupied by sky
scrapers was then only marsh land
Down to 1912 the thoroughfare bore
was called simply the main road"
Later it become the Public road. the
Hoch Wey or Highway. 1t was also
called the Heron STRAIT. or street Of
the Masters. From about 1910 on, how
ever, it became generally know as
Broadway, although its identity was
established much earlier. Perhaps In
way these early names correspondent
to the newer titles given this much
nicknamed thoroughfare. On Broad
way it was that the first clergyman
preached regularly in a little wooden
church near what is now Pearl street.
1t was near what is now Pine street
that Colonel de Puyster in 1895 built
what was described as a "palatial
three-story dwelling mansion Forty
four years later, in 1879. public mar
ket house was erected in the middle of
Broadway opposite Liberty street. 1t
was a gigantic structure forty-two feet
long and twenty-five wide, but for
some reason it was never popular
Of no other spot in the world are
so many men able to say, IF I'd only
bought that property thirty years ago
for song, I'd be millionaire" The
story of Broadway is one of unnum-
bered fortunes made by those who did
invest, and as the city moves north
ward it still applies. Back in 1892
lots on Broadway were sold as far as
Fulton street for about $40 each To-
day those same lots are worth a hun
dred thousand times the original cost
Purchasers were required to erect
buildings not less than two stories in
height and in some cases to cover the
entire front of the lot. Today an own
er of Broadway property who did not
do more than this voluntarily would
be considered insane. SO great are
rental values.

New York, Nov. 24.--"The greatest
street in the world is in America.
London may have it's Strand and Pic
cadi1ly, Paris its Bots du Bologne and
Champs Elysees and Berlin it's Inter
den Linden. But viewed from any as
pect except that of mere age, Broad
way-New York's Broadway-is ahead
of any two of them put together" The
words were spoken today by an Amer
lean who had Just returned from a
trip of several months through Eu-
rope, but they may be taken as typi-
cal of the sentiments of those who
have had an opportunity of comparing
the most celebrated thoroughfare in
the United States with others more or
less known to fame in foreign coun-
tries. Even the New Yorker, who
takes for granted almost all the good
and bad qualities of his city, grows
enthusiastic when Broadway is men,
toned
The reason for this is easy to I'M
derstand for those who know the long

from tip to tip of Manhattan Island.
1t is not merely that Broadway is the
most important street in New York
it is the epitome of New York. Other
st Gets and sections have made more
or less fieeting bids for popularity, but
as the growth of the city has contin-
ued northward the famous old street
has steadily maintained its suprem-
acy, which is more firmly grounded
now than ever before. 1t is significant
that one never hears an actor singing
Take Me Back to Fifth Avenue" It's
always Broadway, for all that Fifth
avenue has been written about and
preached against its fame like that of
any fashionable street is transitory.
Even in its palmiest days Fifth ave-
nue. represented nothing characteristic
except wealth. Now business is rapidly
driving out the costly residences, fore
ing them into side streets and to the
newer fashionable sections further up
town. Almost the entire length of the
evenue below Central Park is already
given over to business and to the kind
of business that keeps daylight hours
-offfce buildings, wholesale salesrooms
and retail shops. After nightfall it is
comparatively silent and deserted.
Broadway on the other hand lives
every moment of every twenty-four
hours. When the daylight fades the
electrics begin to battle it in their
brilliant glow. Nowhere else in the
world are such millions of lights used
in outdoor Illumination as along that
two-mile stretch of Broadway between
Madison Square and Columbus Circle.
which has come to be known as the
Great White Way. And before the last
of these lights has winked itself out
as the last of the all night crowd turns
its steps homeward-or more likely
