Fifth Avenue

CHAPTER XV
12/14

At the southeast corner of Thirty-seventh Street is Tiffany's.

Information as to the nature of the merchandise in which the establishment deals would be superfluous, and the management is evidently of the opinion that the display in the windows tells the story to all the world, for the passer-by will look in vain for any lettering indicating the ownership.

Instead, there is a bronze figure of Atlas, bearing a huge clock on his shoulders, adorning the facade of the edifice.

The clock is the old Tiffany clock.

Of American make, dating from 1850, it was for many years in front of the original Tiffany Building at 550 Broadway, near Prince Street.
