BIGGEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD In One “Hole in the Wall,” a One- Story Sky-Scraper, $3,500,- 000 Worth Annually. Among the numerous ‘holes-in-the- wall” in New York where business is done “on the strenuous” and profitably, too, that on the southeast corner of Broadway and Worth street is perhaps the most conspicuous and best known. By some anomalous circumstance, years ago, in the real estate ownership of that block, the constructors of the big business buflding in the middle of the block were unable to buy a narrow strip ¢f land on the north end of it, only about five feet wide, but extending back 100 feet east. So on that narrow strip a one-story “sky-scraper” was put up, Wwith a sheathed roof slanting down from a point thirty feet higher up than its ceiling, the metal sheathing of which now does prof- itable service as a billboard. On tke street floor the place is only about four and a half feet wide on the inside yot four branches of business are done In it. On the Broadway front is a cigar store with a rear cafe or buffet. Two men can hardly pass each other in the latter be- cause of its narrowness in the part left unoccupied by the bar fixtures—but some- times at least ten customers stanl in a line there while the “barten” passes the “polson” down the long row. Just in the rear cf that one of the lead- ing wholesale dry goods houses in this country has its shipping office—about 4=x 15 feet; back of that a local and suburban express concern has a receiving office; and still back of that another exprzss business has a branch for checking freight and so forth. Downstairs is another barroom, but much wider than the premises above, be- cause it is extended northward from the north line out under the sidewalk, and thus a very commodious room is afford- ed. It is said that this is the only in- stance in all of New York State where the Excise Board has issued two liquor licenses to two different persons for use in the same building or premises—and this, too, be it borne in mind, in what is probably the smallest business “block’ in New York. The shipment of .the dry goods firm's wares being reckoned as a ‘business,” the five concerns -occupylng this™ little “*hole-in-the-wall” do'an We‘lta an- nual business, it is said, of‘more than $3,500,000. * Is there another 500 square feet of space in the world that can match it?— New York Commercial.
