For those who worry about the lack of an address for Herpolsheimer's on the cards, here are two postcards currently on ebay:
The store was in the heart of Grand Rapids, right next to the Kent County civil war monument that was erected in 1885.
Also, as was pointed out earlier, their advertisements did not include their address. I even looked up the Grand Rapids city directory for 1922 on ancestry.com. It has a Herpolsheimers advertisement on page 63, and it does not have their address on it.
