The FIFTH AVENUE BUILDING I ~~f The Mart of the Six Million THAT is New York. Those two hum ming, enchanting, bewildering streams of people converging at Madison Square-they are Broadway and Fifth Avenue. And here at the crossing of the city's great thoroughfares is the meeting place of many businesses The Fifth Avenue Building. From its windows look merchants of great traffic through the world. Clothing which may be bought in Washington or Florida is handled through offices in this building. House furnishings, perhaps from America or Europe, find their markets here. Laces, greeting cards, toys, paper, pottery, glassware, labels, blankets-these are only a few of the many trades in SThe Fifth Avenue Building. Tenants enjoy the prestige of an address which is world-famous, 200 Fifth Avenue. For many decades The Fifth Avenue Hotel, a meeting place of fashion and cosmopolitan im portance, stood here. Tenants enjoy pleasant offices and interesting sur roundings-Madison Square across the way. They are in the midst of things, for it is only ten minutes by subway to the Pennsylvania Station. Thirteen minutes to the Grand Cen tral. All uptown and downtown is as near, or nearer. Surface lines and busses pass the door. Two ele vated lines are within two blocks. New York, the mart of the six million, surely! This building, cen ter of commercial dignity from whence buying and selling to that great market may be accomplished. 1 1 4 i i I11 Broadway and Fifth Avenue at Madison Square, New York "More than an office building" -- II
