Curatorial Note:

The building on the right, 501 Elm Street, was known as the Dal-Tex building in 1963. It was home at the time to Jennifer Juniors, a women's and young ladies' clothing manufacturer started by Abraham Zapruder in 1949. Jennifer Juniors was located on the fourth and fifth floors of the Dal-Tex building, with Mr. Zapruder's office on the fourth floor. The blurry sign seen here on the front of the building advertised available space for rent on the ground floor. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
