Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Power for Profit: Principles Governing the Use of Machinery and Labor in Modern Buildings
The business of owning and of Operating machinery does not appear to be in itself of any direct advantage to the owner ship of real estate, but is rather of the nature of an accessory burden. The less responsibility that is involved, the less de tailed care and concern that is required, and the less risk of contingent loss, the more attractive becomes the ownership of such property.
It becomes apparent, upon consideration of the past history of real estate, that modern inventions and habits have gradu ally fastened upon its ownership burdens from which, until recent times, landlords and lessees were free.
