in considering the skyscraper we should not forget the role played by the electric elevator without it these buildings would be practically useless as far as the upper stories are concerned the labor of stair-climbing would leave them untenanted no one would be willing to climb ten twenty or thirty flights and tackle a day's work after the exertion of doing so to climb to the fiftieth story in such a manner would be well-nigh impossible or only possible by relays and after one would arrive at the top he would be so physically exhausted that both mental and manual endeavor would be out of the question therefore the elevator is as necessary to the sky-scraper as are doors and windows indeed were it not for the introduction of the elevator the business sections of our large cities would still consist of the five and six storey structures of our father's time instead of the towering edifices which now lift their heads among the clouds Regarded less than half a century ago as an unnecessary luxury, the elevator today is an imperative necessity.
