Over The Past Fifty Years, From A Declining Thoroughfare That Was Fast Losing Its Links With The Past And Heading Towards An Indeterminate Future, Fifth Avenue Has Changed Into The Street Of Distinction That It Is Today. The City's Population Was Less Than Five Million Persons When The Fifth Avenue Association Was Organized In 1907 By A Small, Civic-Minded Group, Who Feared That Demoralizing Changes Were Setting In.

The Metamorphosis In The Last Half Century Has Been A Striking Civic Development.
