Dead link for 1989 report Volume 1
This article depends a lot on the Historic Preservation Report for the Ladies Mile in NYC, volume 1 from 1989. The link is dead. I searched for it, and can find only volume 2, which starts with page numbers beyond 400. I formatted the citation in the text, and used rp format for the page numbers, as it is simple to do with few references in the article but many references to that report. But the dead link, it seems unlikely that the bot will find that in the archives, well, what do I know about what the bot will find? Anyway, this place is interesting to me in Chicago, as I just learned my grandmother met my grandfather, because she worked at the store and his sisters shopped there. That happened around 1908, so I did not accept the line that Siegel-Cooper left Chicago 7 years after it opened in this building in 1891. I relied on the Encyclopedia of Chicago source, which said it was there until 1930, after re-organizing its itself financially in 1914-15. None of the sources address what name was outside on the building, versus name changes of a corporation not visible to customers really directly, but the Encyclopedia of Chicago was closest to that, and the source already used in the article. --Prairieplant (talk) 17:37, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
