BiographyI was not able to find any information on this company beyond their full name Commercial Photo & Designing Co. and address at 330-332 Fourth Ave in New York, telephone 5210 Mad Sq. This information comes from the stamp on the back of our photographs - it's unclear if they were the photographer or merely the printers for these photographs. The stamp has the name Com'l Photo & Designing Co. - we know that is short for Commonwealth based on a postcard from the same company (https://www.cardcow.com/658040/gazebo-water-real-photos-buildings/). Fourth Ave, the street their business was on, is now known as Park Avenue South (https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2023/05/frederick-c-zobels-1907-gabay-building.html#google_vignette). -Sylvia Hickman, 10/22/24
