4164 Emerald Street

This Frank Salamid mark is full of pathos: I imagine him, two months after Black Monday and two days before Christmas, getting in one last piece of work to help end the year on a hopeful note. And we know Frank survived, although this is the latest mark I have before 1940. So far I’ve seen nothing with his name from the Depression years [update: very few].

P. Barale marks seem to be a few years older than J. Barale marks.
