For Steve B, the old Goudey Gum factory is still standing downtown on Broad St., across from The Littlest Bar.

I knew about the Goudey place, I think National Chicle is still standing? And Delong. Haven't looked for US Caramel.

The George C Miller location I think went to the Mass Pike. Either that or was removed around then and some new place built. The closest I can find for the address is a tiny houselike building. That just doesn't seem right unless the office was in a house and the warehouse was somewhere else. Or maybe they had someone else print and distribute- There were a lot of gum/candy places in town doing cards.

I always imagine a print shop salesman having a really good year selling the idea of cards to just about every place in town.

The closest guess I can find so far for where PR warren was located in Lowell is currently the textile history museum. I'll have to find a better source than what's online. The machine shop companies that had buildings they moved to occupied a huge stretch of Dutton street, everything from about the current Fletcher street to broadway and from Dutton to the canal behind it. So either the museum, the big building next door or the now parking lots out back.
