What is this thing? From where? Kartsen’s?

I found an old map that has Karsten’s on it. It’s a pretty interesting map of downtown because it shows the names of all the stores/businesses from Adams to Jefferson and Cass to Randolph.

I have not been able to find a date on this map but it shows Henry the Hatter in the old Library Hotel at Library and Gratoit.

so that means it is pre-1947 when Henry the Hatter moved to their long-time home on Broadway.

I have that map. I believe it's from 1943.
