    Interesting that Tuzi's revelation has them at 606 South Ninth St in 1930 and Martin's shared ad has them at 525. Any date on that ad, Martin? I think yours is older!

    I saw The Italian in the AD you provided! Seems obvious a 'for and by' Italian barber supplier in the U.S.

    Seems we can say they began at 525 and moved up to 606 at least til 1930.
    They may have taken over the block, as was common?

    Move to 606 around 1925 so it seems from the advertisement.

    Interestingly the brothers Di Puppo Charles and Frank of Tripoli Barbers Supply during prohibition, recognize a golden opportunity for some extra cash, in the way of diverting some denatured Alcohol. Apparently it was easy for them to get permits for denatured alcohol for their Barbers supply business.
