For your reading pleasure, an ad campaign that ran in the papers for two months, April and May, 1936. They are notable for their carefree approach, an affable blend of drawn image combined with photos taken in Tudor City. Times seemed a bit better: the rentals started at $52.50, and ran up to $250 for a duplex studio.
How fresh WAS the air then, really? Power plants, slaughterhouses, and tanneries lined First ave. Aromatic indeed.
