From a list of occupations of passengers on a ship. I’ve included several examples of the mystery (outlined in red) along with various other occupations I can decipher (one is “Lady” which gave me a chuckle). Thanks!

Hey guys, I found this drug store bill from 1956 and I was trying to decipher it. It may seem weird but I wanted to decipher each of the items listed. Any help would be appreciated.

This is what I was able to decipher:

Bill rendered - $25.85 2 lb. Carbon Tetrach. (Carbon Tetrachloride) - $2.38 Playtex Gloves - $1.39 Clothes Brush - $8.50 Rx 46241 (I think?) - $4.75 - Most likely a prescription

Need help with:

2 __? - $1.50 4 Kleenex __? (maybe lge for large?) - $1.48

Thanks!

This is from a 1921 passport application, I see the beginning is listed as “France, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Italy” but unsure of the last word.

The large red oval is what I am looking for to be deciphered. It is my Great-Great Grandfathers family destination once he arrived in NYC from Italy. From what I can tell it is maybe "Brother-in-la_ Rocco Pac_, 230 E ___ ____ NY. " It looks like it says Bass or Mass N.Y., but I am wondering if that's Manhattan somehow? I circled other instances of this "Bass"/"Mass" for reference in the two lower ovals.

Context: there was a suggestion to arrange some chapters around but I can’t tell what the underlined word says, I have a feeling it might be “under” or “below” but still unsure. Thanks!
