Continuing with yesterday's featured cousin, Frances Alexander Wellman, here's another article from The New York Times about a business venture of hers.  This one is dated 3 January 1917. Note that my cousin Frances didn't like "to be called Mrs. Allen Wellman when talking business."  These entrepreneurs also said that suffrage had nothing to do with the venture, although at least one of them was interested in it.  

According to a 1916 Rider's guidebook for travelers, the address was occupied by the Windsor Hotel until 1899 when it was destroyed by fire. It was also home to the Alliance Publishing Company and several clubs.  I think there's a Build-A-Bear Workshop at the site now, or next to it.  I'm not sure that anything is listed as 569 5th Avenue today.
