Donald F. Duncan, Inc.
28 N. Sheldon St.
Chicago, Ill

Using Google Maps, the above address apparently no longer exists. As I eventually discovered, Sheldon street was changed to Loomis street long ago. In 1929, however, the address was home to a radio manufacturer called High Frequency Laboratories. Then, sometime in 1932, it became home to the D. F. Duncan, Inc. business.

The Duncan company would eventually move to Evanston, Illinois and then to Baraboo, Wisconsin.

A hard-to-find, early Duncan string pack.
