  1. ASCHOW JOHN N 112
Record details

Read from the page image on 13 August 2026 (held in this project's archive). archive.org's metadata dates this item 1911; the title page reads “TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR … 1912” and is stamped “Copyright 1912 by Polk-Husted Directory Co.”, and p.112's running head reads “1912 POLK-HUSTED CO.'S”. Dated from the volume, not the catalogue. Aschow's entry is a paid display block, set in bold with his own trade description — his own words about himself, like the Guide's.
