Elza Perkins and J. E. Leddy "House of Kuppenheimer's Clothing"

I discovered this in the Pasadena City Directory for 1918:

Perkins and Leddy  Elza Perkins and J. E. Leddy "House of Kuppenheimer's Clothing" Hats and Men's Furnishings, 16 E. Colorado.   The building is now described as 14-16 East Colorado.  It was built in 1892 in Spanish Colonial Revival style with a frame with pilasters and scrolls. 

Joe E. and his wife Mabel lived at 899 N. Chester Ave., Pasadena.  Built in 1910 this is a charming bungalow even today.

Wikipedia says that "Kuppenheimer, was a men's clothing manufacturing and retail operation based in Chicago, Illinois and later Atlanta, Georgia."   


Not surprisingly Joe was a member of the Chamber of  Commerce for Pasadena in 1918 according to the Pasadena Star News.
