Unidentified manuscripts sorted in chronological order
The order is established by identifying the address on the staff paper and how it corresponds to the dates of employment at the company’s address: 112 West 38th Street = 1909-1914; Strand Theatre Bldg. = 1914-1919; 1607 Broadway = 1921-1933; 799 Seventh Ave. = 1934-1944. This is merely a way to approximate the dates knowing full well the possibility of inconsistency for changeover to the new address.
