[78-L] Gennett Question

It seems that all the below references are to Starr's piano outlet which 
was on South Wabash. Anyone having access to the Chicago Public Library 
should be able to come up with an address. You're closer to Chicago than 
I am, Dave! I'd check the phone directories first. Begin in 1922 and 
work backward and forward from there.
