Research is underway on this one and a full write-up will be coming soon.
Actually they were located at 1800 West Roscoe, Chicago. The beautiful building is still there and was developed into condos a number of years ago.
Thank you for this great website.
A friend just shared his findings, with me, from long ago.. a tiny gold and red box. Which, after examining the tiny box, had real lead for pencils.. really cool piece of history..
