Description: VERY RARE! Original Antique Munsey's Magazine Print Ad ~ Jan.1895~ "A GOOD SCHOOL" ~PALMS' BUSINESS COLLEGEin the new Greble Building, 1710 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.THEO. W. PALMS, PresidentINTERESTING little piece of historical ephemera! In trying to find out any information I could about Mr. Theodore W. Palms' college (which was uneventful!) I did stumble across a most fascinating article from May 14, 2012 written by Dennis Carlisle (AKA GroJLart) for Hidden City Philadelphia entitled "A Hale In Purgatory" all about the "Greble" building in which Mr. Palms' held his classes. Here's just a snippet from the article:..."Edwin M. Greble, once the most respected Marbleworker in Philadelphia. Known for “monumental designs” in Italian marble and brownstone, his continuously expanding business began in 1829 and relocated twice before settling down at a massive marbling center at 1708-1714 Chestnut Street in 1849, back when that part of the street was still called “West Chestnut.”... When Edwin Greble died in 1883, his property became the Greble Estate, directed by his greedy trustees, Bloomfield Brower, D.T. Pratt, and William J. Dreer. Where anyone else would see a perfectly usable industrial space, the trustees saw dollar signs. They immediately sold off the western half of the land. With tons of money to burn, they commissioned Willis G. Hale to design a speculative five story office building to fill the 44′ x 150′ eastern half. ... The top was ornamented with a crown stating “Greble” in iron letters between two (long lost) finials, as if giving the world the finger with both hands. The building was completed in June, 1886. The construction contractor was Lew Havens."...smaller classified ad approx. 1 1/4" - 2" x 2 3/4" EXCELLENT condition for being WELL OVER 100 years old!!from smoke-free homeENJOY! & Thanks for stoppin' and shoppin'! - Kari :o) SHIPPING NOTES: FAST shipping is always a TOP PRIORITY!
