builders now active in New York who
brought some knowledge Of construC-

late in real estate, from which he took
considerable money IN profits. 1t was
IL 1904 that he first turned his atten-
tiun To building here, starting with
modern t.ncments ON the lower East
sid" v hen that section WAS being made
over following the enactment of tho
present tenement house law.
Mr.. Tishmin mad" It a rule to build
nothing but corner buildings ana IL
build only the very best type of house
The result of This was that he was able
on most occasions to sell his buildings
readily frequently before they We're
completed To know that house was
built by Tishman was enough for most
East side investors.

little better than its predecessor The
building he completed last, at West End
avenue and 10lst street. was sold before
completion solely as a result OF its
superior construction.
M-. Tishman never uses the name Of
a realty company. but always builds In
his own name. He has five sons who
are following him in the profession
Each ono has taken up "a different
branch of tho business and together they
form about the most formidable group
of builders in the city.
These are few of the men who,

the conditions and needs of New York.
