In addition, house-agents, pawnbrokers, cashiers, notaries public and secretaries, landlords, millers, doctors, barbers, pharmacists and booksellers enter the stage.
Skyscrapers provided a wide range of in-house services for their tenants, including shops, restaurants, barbers, tobacconists, newsagents, tailors, professional specialists and libraries.
We see open-fronted shops with dressmakers, cobblers and tailors, sewing on old-fashioned treadle machines, barbers and shavers who lather up people's chins with old-fashioned shaving brushes by the roadside.
