Help me find a specific article?

My boss told me about an article from the 1980's that he would like me to try to find a copy of. The publication was Manhattan,inc.. The article was titled "The Erector Set" and was a profile about some NYC real estate developers, including: Daniel Brodsky, Bruce Eichner, Jeffrey Katz, Steven Ross and David Solomon. I have done what online searching I can, but I think I need some direction here. Any guidance would be appreciated!

The notes for Weill Cornell Medicine: A History of Cornell’s Medical School suggest that the author is Bobby Minter.

Looks like there are two articles with that title in that book's citations. One is online here and doesn't have that content. Manhattan Inc ceased publication in 1990 (though continued on as M Inc) and you can check Worldcat to see if there is a library near you that has archives. None of the libraries I have access to have it electronically.

You could also use a vendor to retrieve the article for you. We use Cal Info or NYPL Express for this purpose. You would have to contact them to see if the pricing is within your budget.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone! I was able to get the issue number/date from the Weill Cornell article and then found it on Worldcat and hit the NYU library. I now have a scanned copy of the article. Thanks for your help.
