- ----------
- They used to be located on Archer Ave., maybe 4 or 5 miles southwest
- of downtown, not far from I-55 (the Stevenson Expressway). J.C
- Whitney is the same as Warshawsky, the Whitney name being easier for
- Middle America to remember and pronounce, Warshawsky being more
- natural for Chicagoans. They used to publish catalogs under both names.
-
- I recommend looking up both names in the phone book once you get to
- Chi-town, and giving them a call to find out their current location
- and whether they serve walk-in customers. I have not been there for
- 20 years.
