Joe,

Try looking at a Phila. City Directory for 1906. It may list the Zegler
Bro. Co. The following quote is from a previous PAPHILAD-D; it had been
sent in by Gene Stackhouse. The city directories are also available through
your local LDS Family History Center.

"For $25.00 the Germantown Historical Society will xerox one surname from
any 10
issues (years) of the Philadelphia city directories. Directories are
available
from 1815 to 1930, with some gaps. For common surnames, a first name is
needed.
Variant spellings of a surname count as another surname.

Send a check for $25.00 payable to the Germantown Historical Society, a SASE
with 3 stamps (actually $0.77), the surname desired, and the years desired to

Germantown Historical Society
5501 Germantown Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19144

This is a good deal. The only way you can get this information cheaper
is
to do it yourself from the actual books. "
