I need help with my Research!!!! (New York, York: house, tax, licenses)

[shermer]

Hello All!!!

I am conducting research on two addresses in New York City and need a little assistance.

The addresses are:
874 Broadway, New York 3, N.Y. (The MacIntyre)

21 West 19th Street, New York, N.Y. (Transworld Equities?)

I have information there was an import company located at both of these places during the 30's, 40's and 50's. The company was the Jardur Import Co. or the Jardur Aviation Co.

I can use anything. I'm really not specific on anything. I would like business licenses or records, employee records, pictures of the employees, pictures of the company door, pictures of the outside or inside of the buildings from this era, newspaper articles, ANYTHING would be awesome.

New York is an obviously big place and being in Montana, it is hard to conduct my research.

If anyone can help, I can provide a soft bed in the beautiful Northern Rockies of Montana...fly fishing anyone??? Wonderful blue ribbon trout fishing in the same area where Brad Pitt waved his fly rod around.

Thank you ahead a time for your assistance.

btw: i have attached a pic of one of the watches.

Between 1939 and 1941, NYC photographed every house and building in each of the five boroughs:

It may be that 874 Broadway and 21 West 19th Street were around the corner; or, if not that, within one block of each other.
