Sorry, I didn't completely answer all the questions. Re: the backs of the others, and I'm doing this by memory- I think the Philadelphia and Mutuals had the sporting goods guy, although on the Mutuals the ad was green. There is a Philadelphia in the Spalding collection and it has the ice skating ad, although it is badly trimmed. The White Sox had a unique ad, with only text and no pictures. Again, I'm doing this from memory, so please forgive if something here is in error. I don't remember any of the addresses, so I assume they were all Nassau Street.
By the way, in the Halper collection there was a beautiful photograph of the Peck & Snyder storefront (this same major collector purchased it) and it didn't appear it was on a corner, as some have speculated. There seemed to be establishments on either side. So it is simply possible they moved over the years, as businesses often do. I don't know the date of that photo.
