[14+-story Office Building "The Worlds Tower"(?) on entrance marquee.] Clark & Gibby Office Furniture. & "World's Tower Letter Service". It is possible that the "World's Tower" is the object of the photograph. The scale of the buildings, the reprographers stamp & the scope of the architects' practice suggest this may be New York, Manhattan or possibly Long Island City.
