Gertrude Blair Peacock |
USPC |
|
5312 Hyde Park Boulevard |
|
|
Chicago, IL 60615 |
Delivered to: C.D. Peacock, Chicago, IL |

|
I believe a typo was made in the USPC label. I believe the chips were delivered to C.D. Peacock, a Chicago retailer. |
|
|
I believe the chips were purchased for Gertrude Blair Peacock who was the wife of Walter C. Peacock. Walter was |
|
|
the son of Charles Daniel (C.D.) Peacock for whom the store was named. |
|
|
|
|
|
As evidence that she played cards, Gertrude shows up in society pages as hosting Bridge-Whist parties. |
