One of the innumerable random facts that Robert Ripley talks about in this episode of Warner Brothers' BELIEVE IT OR NOT shorts is that at the time, 100 Wall Street was an apartment house, with flats renting for $25 a month. 100 Wall Street has recently been in the news as I write this, with some even more fantastical assertions made, including being a dozen or so stories taller than it actually is, and being fully rented. I am barely able to believe Ripley's assertions; I don't believe former President Trump's.
Which is the primary difference between Ripley's tales, and our modern age. Ripley pulled a few whoppers in his time, but his stuff was meant for amusement.
