Title
Housing, Improved: United States. New York. New York City. "City and Suburban Homes Co.": City and Suburban Homes Co., New York City: View of Social and Play-room in the basement of the Company's First Avenue model tenement buildings, where the little people can amuse themselves during the day and the young boys and girls spend a social evening. These young people throng the streets at all hours, primarily because their tenement houses are structurally unbearable -- gloomy and depressing. Even though the Company's apartments are large and cheerful, many of the children remain on the street because they have not been broken of the habit. Someone is wanted who will arranged competitions for the boys and girls to be worked out at home, with the playroom as a general meeting place.
