Thanks for the heads-up and the pics... I just went through the entire Albuquerque City Directory for 1928 and (hard to believe) didn't find the listing, so I guess they were only a one year company.. ( couldn't find a 1927 book)

The write-up in TheOldMotor.com gave a street address along with a second photo, but the addressing scheme in Abq has changed since then (now at least 2 possible locations) and it's not clear to me whether or not the building has survived. I did a quick search on google maps with no obvious matches to either that building or others nearby in the photos.

A number of significant buildings in Abq from the early 20th century have been lost to the wrecking ball.
