Thanks again Brent. I pulled the 216 First St. address from the 1895 flyer you posted. I've seen this address associated with Louisville Slugger before, not sure how 118 S. First Street fits in. Maybe 216 First St. was manufacturing location, 118 S. First St. was business office location?

Joe,
The book mentions the 118 S First Street location as the address they moved into in 1875.
Then again, the address listed for the post 1901 building is not the same as the 1209 that appears in the photo.... So go figure?
