Looking for 1940s addreses

[sklingon]

I hope someone can help me out ...I am looking for a couple of addreses ...Abraham Weinstein my grandfather had a laundry/dry cleaner around 12st and Delaware - I am looking for the exact address. Also, Nate Sosin had a candy store at 12st and Gladstone and I am looking for that address.
Thanks.
Steve

Thanks a bunch Mike ...

Also, there was a confectioner at 8844 12th, southeast corner of Gladstone, name of Stanley Sameroff. Maybe Nate took over his business later in the decade?

[sklingon]

Hmm not sure about that other store I will try to find out ... what kind of addresses and info do you have about Klegon Drugs - there were three stores all my uncles.
Thanks

[MikeM]

Klegon Pharmacy [[Samuel R and Bernard C Klegon), Complete Drug Service, State Liquor Distributor, Prescriptions, Free Delivery
10000 W Chicago Ave
branches, 5003 Collingwood Ave and 3906 Joy Rd

That was 1940. From 1947:

Kelgon Pharmacy, Store No 1
10000 W Chicago

Ralph Kelgon Pharmacy
5003 Collingwood

I remember Klegon pharmacy well at Chicago and Wyoming. Right across from Mackenzie High, where I went for four years. Spent a little time there at the soda fountain. Here's the building today.

I too spent a lot of time in Klegon's while I attended Mackenzie. I bought Seventeen magazines and 5 cent Hershey bars[[1965-68). My recollection was that Mr. Klegon wasn't too fond of high school students being in his store. In bad weather I would wait for the West Chicago bus inside the store, and they always made a point of us being close to the door, so we were not taking up much space in the store.
The soda fountain still existed, but I never purchased anything there.

Thanks for the pic and the great memories. They were [[sam and ben) my great uncles. I wonder if there are any remains of the drug store on the inside or paintings on the outside ...great stuff thanks again

Is Abraham Weinstein the owner of the laundry/dry cleaners in 12th Street is one of Jewish owners in that area? Some of my folks who lived the west side knew him a long time ago.

While on another site my cousin posted pictures of my Fathers side of the family, and this thread got me thinking of when his family lived around 12st on Delaware. That would have been back in the 40,s.. I will have to look more closely at the photos for an adress.

[sklingon]

I did play basketball in the driveway ...but I do not remember those names! old age !

[sklingon]

Hey Lucky Car .. I remember all those names now !! I am the one and I know all those people ! Who are you?
