The directory also lists Benjamin and Charles Schlamovitch as upholsterers - I'm guessing that they were related.

The 1942 CD lists 6022 Wilshire Boulevard as the Alan Building, and Shirley Simon seems to be the only one of the 1938 residents who's still there. |
The '56CD (and '60CD) lists Majestic at
265 S. La Brea, which means it may have occupied part of the structure currently used by Trader Joe's. The 56CD lists several drapers and upholsters. Address
271 S La Brea a Simca-Fiat dealership as well as "
Good and Bad Furniture" and
Richard W Lee furnishings.

Plenty of posts on this location, e.g.,
http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=10721 http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...ostcount=10722 GW's post seems to confirm a drug store, yet the '29CD lists, for the 263 S, La Brea address, a clothes cleaner, so I wonder if this wasn't like today's mini malls with several businesses under adjoining umbrellas, so to speak.
1937 - 677 S La Brea. Cedric's flowers with a sidewalk full of poinsettias. (First come, first serve.)
