J Fondeville & Co., 135 Fifth Ave., successors to Fondeville & Van Iderstine. and <a href="https://books.google.com/books/content?id=BaE7AQAAMAAJ&pg=PT239&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U2ZP6cKjRj-QBTM829FYRLKByEkbA&w=1073" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books/content?id=BaE7AQAAMAAJ&pg=PT239&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U2ZP6cKjRj-QBTM829FYRLKByEkbA&w=1073" rel="nofollow">again in this 1921 journal</a>.
