Footnotes1 It is presumed here that "Director" is an error for "Doctor," as with OJ 15/12, [B]. It could, however, be addessed to someone else and have found its way into Schenker's correspondence files. 2 Founded 1897 by Weinberger. At its inaugural meeting on December 5, 1897 Weinberger was made its President. 3 The Weinberger company moved from Kohlmarkt 8 to Maximilianstraße 11 at about the turn of the century, so this calling card can be dated roughly to 1898 or 1899. |
