Transcriber's Notes
Directory publisher and year are not shown on the photocopy.
A small stray mark (possibly a pen tick) appears just left of 'Knoll Anton'.
'Knoell' entries included as a possible spelling variant; 'Knollmann Louis, driver, h 2047 Gtn av' follows the Knoll block and was not included as a family-surname entry.
Page 1203 contains no Knoll entries (Knoor/Knorr/Knott/Knowles etc.).
Print is clear at 300 dpi; readings of names and house numbers are confident.
