...business without any great change in work ing hours. His mistake was in attempting to trans fer night club business methods (i.e. polite but firm extortion) to the new enterprise.

Other famed Ley Manhattan skyscrapers are Fisk Building, 57th & Broadway; Liggett Building, 42nd & Madison; Westinghouse Building, 150 Broadway. Mr. Ley has constructed office buildings, apartment buildings, factories, sewers, trolley lines, bridges, waterworks, dams, highways and war camps (Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., built in ten weeks), but neither in his early days in Springfield, Mass., nor in his more recent Manhattan...
