Government - the paragon of efficiency
From Page 7 of the Aug. 24, 1905 NYT comes this nugget to be filed in the "nothing ever changes" drawer:
The United Stated Government building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, erected at a cost of $500,000, has been sold to a wrecking company for $10,500. The steel trusses in the structure alone cost $100,000.
Nice.
