The Tribune believes that it has
obtsined location ideal for its
needs Situated On the north side of
rortieth Street. just midway in the
hloek between Seventh and Eighth ave-
nnes. the site is at the front door
Ia the great midtown shopping, hotel
snd theater district That stretch of
Fortieth Street to point 100 feet
west OF Eighth Avenue is included in
me district recently "zoned' by the
save New York Committee as pro-
.ectioH to the area IN which many OF
he principal theaters and hotels are
situated.
This means that factories are for
ever barred; in fact, practically the
same restrictions apply to Fortieth
Street Us prevail on Fifth Avenue. And
while The Tribune is pioneer in this
part OF Fortieth Street, it is but q
matter Of few years before the en-
tire block, under the benefcent effects
Of "zoning," may be expected to be-
come one of the best improved blocks
IN that part of the city.
in many other respects the site is
most ideal. Express stations on the
.wo great subway systems are just
around the Seventh Avenue corner.
The principal railroad terminals-the
Grand Central and Pennsy
but five minutes distant. Two blocks
to the east is the great retail center OF
th. city, while to the north and south
are other districts of major impor-
tance in the news and business of New
York.
In the transaction by which The
Tribune acquired the site the owner
OF the property. Mrs. Mann-Vynne, was
represented by c. D. Cooper, real es-
tate broker. Of Beekman Street, anc
her attorney, George B. Holbert. The
New York Tribune was represented by
the Charles F. Noyes Company, of lis
William Street, and in legal capacity
By It's general counsel, Harold C. Cross
