FOR THE BOYS

For boys evolve into men, and men study
and improve and build and govern the world
They crown and uncrown kings; they promul-
gate important political truths; they discover
and announce great scientific theories and prin-
ciples; they make contention or they bring
peace; they build or they destroy. And, as
their hearts and souls fashioned in their
boyhood so will they influence the world in
their manhood.
Let's do something, then, for our boys.

With the exception Of the auditorium
on ths ground door. the new ten-story
annex to the Bush Terminal Sales
Building. In West Fortyrsecond Street,
will Be structurally complete in about
three weeks. The new building IL Of
skeleton steel hreproof construction
end was erected at cost of approx
mately 100000. 1t has 9 net floor
area Of 1900 square feet. helmle &
Corbett are the architects.
The new annex conforms to the style
Of the Bush Terminal Sales Building
in interior and exterior architecture.
Direct connection has already been
made on nearly all of the floors with
the Bush Terminal Sales Building. The
auditorium on the ground floor of the
annex has a clear height of twenty
four feet. 1t will be for meetings and
conventions.
The expansion of the established
merchandise divisions of the Bush Ter
minal Sales Building has created q
situation that is met by the new struc-
ture, which will, it is said, provide
ample space for the future growth Of
the business of the building.
There are now nearly 1000 merchan-
disc lines of representative manufac-
turers in the Bush Terminal Sales
Building, q number of which have
found it convenient to locate executive
and sales Offices in the neighborf1ood
of their showrooms or displays, and SO
concentrate their merchandising activi-
ties in the one building. This has, ip
turn, served to create a demand for
additional space.

New York Building Is
Run Like Big Community
Has Population Larger Than
Many Cities; Also Police and
Fire Departments

The proportions which New York
buildings have attained illustrate in q
way the wonderful development of New
York as q business place. There is
downtown an Office building that is a
city in itself, having all the features of
a community. In the first place, it
houses more peopleskhan many third
class city. They lin q tier on tier from
about 9 o'clock in the morning until
about in the evening, when this popu-
lation starts to move away to every
point of the compass.
To get this population from the
street to the floors on which they live
during working hours are sixty-one
elevators of the speediest kind. This
giant business city is kept in order by
$50 men ard women. 1t has a police
force, which patrols the corridors of
the building day and night, just as the
city police patrol the streets Of the
city.
1t has fire department, That ths
city force may not have to be called
to look after little fires that may start.
Of course, if the fire proves to be .s
serious one, too much for the private
department, the city force is called, but
so far the inside fire fighters have met
all emergencies.
The structure, wonderful in size,
wonderful in service and complete in
detail, typifes the greatness of New
York. The building is none too large.
Every one of it's $500 offices is rented,
and has been almost from the day the
builders moved out and gave the key to
the doors to the superintendent.

Farley; Trade Gains Little

There may have been a little buying
Of cotton on the announcement of an
Allied agreement on the terms of Ger

BY the strong early ruling of foreign
exchange, but the inclusion of tax
on exports in the terms of the in
demnity had not been generally ex-

Evidently it failed 70 create any de-
mand of consequence. for trading was

March to later deliveries was chiefly
attributed to evening up for over the
weekend. This included some cover
ing by recent sellers of March, and in
contrast to developments OF the last
two or three days that position was
relatively steady. After selling at
1850 early, it eased off to 14.47c. or a
point below the closing price of Friday,
but closed at 14.52c, or points net
higher, while later months were to
IS points net lower.
Weekend reviews OF the domestic
goods trade were about in line with
reports received recently regarding the
volume of business. The break in raw
material has led to a slackening of the
demand, but mill activity continues to
increase, and 1t is reported that many
Of the larger manufacturers took bust
ness enough during the first three
weeks in January to keep them going
until the beginning Of April. There
was no change in the news from the
South.

Early Return to Normal
Expected by Jewellers
Sales Show Slight Decline in
1920, but Gain Over 1913;
Failures Not Alarming

Although sales of jewelry and lin
dred lines last year did not come up
to those of 1919, considered the banner
yeay. they showed substantial increases
over those of 1918 or previous normal
years, according to e survey Of the
trade. A return to the usual normal
businAss during the present year is
confidently expected.
Sales the first half Of last year were
on par with those in the correspond
ing period Of 1919, but toward the end
Of the year q marked decline in sales
was perceptible. During the Christ
mas season buyers showed renewed ac-
tivity, and the figures for that period
showed only slight recession from
the preceding Christmas season and
an advance over the season Of 1918.
The major portion of buying was
centered on medium-priced jewelry
Sales Of the more expensive jewelry
disclosed far larger decline from 1919
than did the sales Of popular priced
lines.
Although there have been reductions
in jewelry prices, none was Of drastic
nature. This has been occasioned by
the fact that jewelry prices were not
advanced to the extreme high levels
attained by other commodities, it is
contended. For this reason, the read
justment in prices will probably be less
marked than in the other commodities
Although the number Of jewelry
failures last year showed an increase
of forty-ive over those in 1919, the
banner year, there was a decrease Of
nlnetysix from 1918. Business embar-
r.ssments in 1920 numbered 1879, OF
which ninetytwo were retail jewelers.
twenty-four wholesale, fifteen manu-
facturers, three repairers, three opti-
clans and two instalment houses. In
1919 the failures numbered only ninety.
four, while there were 235 in 1918 and
324 in 1917. Jewelry failures repre-.
sented only IL per cent Of the 1881
business endorsements in 1920, ano
1-3 per cent Of the total liabilities OF
S295, 5,121, ,805.
Despite most unusual year in which
irnumerable strikes in all lines were
preva ent, closing down of plants, and
a general public boycott against high
prices, the jewelry trade can be saic
tn be in a sound financial condition.

Queens Boulevard One
OF Finest in Country
Started in 1869, the Land Has
Cost the City More Than
$4.O0O.OOO

The Queens Boulevard under con-
struction through the Borough Of
Queens is regarded az one Of the finest
in the country. According to Charles
U. Powell. of the Typographical Bureau
of Queens, the boulevard project was
first launched in 1859, when, under two
acts of the Legislature. Thomson Ave
nue., from Jackson Avenue to Grand
Street. Newtown, and Hoffman Boule-
ward, from Grand Street to Jamaica
Avenue, were laid down and acquired.
The boulevard is the most important
artery Of traffic in the Borough of
Queens, connecting the Greensboro
Bridge with Jamaica and joining di-
rectly with thoroughfares which lead to
the Jericho Turnpike, the Motor Park
way, Merrick Road and other important
highways which lead out to the eastern
end Of Long Island.
The land taken for the broad high
way has cost the city $4,122, 2,728.11.

New York's First City
Hall Faced Coenties Slip
Was Too Large for Colony's
Needs and Was Turned Into
Inn. First i'm New York

Whenever in lower Pearl Street, in
the vicinity of Coenties Slip, look at
the building at 73 Pearl Street. which
is at the corner of Coenties Alley. 1t
looks no different than others in the
neighborhood, which is immateriai as
it is only the site that means anything,
for it was there that New York's first
city hall stood. 1t was known as the
Stadt Huys.
Pearl Street at that times was on the
rivers edge and was the first street
to be officially laid on the map of the
Dutch colony of New Netherlands.
The city hall, or S.adt Hugs, was
too large for the needs Of the city and
after time it was turned over to "a
woman who conducted there the first
inn. The city hall next moved to the cor
ner Of Nassau and Wall streets, the
site Of the SubTreasury. The present
City Hall was completed after the Sec
ond war with England
