His wealth derived from his conception and industrious execution of the idea of building skyscrapers like a graduated pile of boxes with the smallest on top - the "set back'' style to provide air and light. He designed the Seaboard National Bank in New York (Seaboard Pres ident Samuel Bayne is his father-in-law), the Magnolia Petroleum Building in Dallas, Tex.
