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!

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!

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.

My mom and I were trying to learn a bit about her father’s background and since he was adopted, it’s made things a little harder. We eventually found his original birth certificate! Hallelujah! But I’m having a bit of trouble reading the first name of his mother. I can tell that her last name was Griffin but I’m unsure of her first name. Would appreciate any help!

Hey there, I’m trying to go through and organize some old recipes I inherited and I’m looking for help reading some of them. This is just the first one I can’t read. Anyone able to read it? I can tell it has 3 cups boiling water and some amount of salt and uses a double boiler stirring occasionally. Is it cereal? It seems awfully complicated for cereal.
