Joseph Kraus


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Joseph Kraus & Son, 910 13th St NE, Washington DC (1892-1895)
  Kraus & Son, 13th St c. Florida Ave NE, Washington DC (1896)
  Kraus J. & Son, 910 13th St. NE, Washington DC (1897-1928+)
  Kraus, Frederick, 910 13th St. NE, Washington DC (1905,1907,1909,1911)

Notes:
Joseph Kraus shows up in DC directories under both Grocers and under Wine & Liquor. I presume that Frederick Kraus was his son, but I have no idea why the business was listed under "Frederick Kraus" on the odd years between 1905 and 1911, and "Kraus & Son" on the even years.
