'''Dr. Paul E. Grabow''' was a general physician in Chicago, living in 2348 N. Seminary Ave. Some doors north at No. 2400 was the drug store of Mr. Brown, which featured the usual ice cream bar, wire chairs and metal tables. Grabow and Brown, both fond of fly-fishing, were friends. They used to have a little chat in the early evening hours in a back room of the shop enjoying their pipes. Soon they were associated by Mr. Linkman, owner of '''[[M. Linkman & Co.]]''', a big pipe factory situated one block west on W. Fullerton Ave. at the corner of Racine Ave. These three gentlemen were soon connected by close friendship. | '''Dr. Paul E. Grabow''' was a general physician in Chicago, living in 2348 N.

''(1) It was a very common use to name pipes "Doctor X's" throughout the 1920's and 1930's worldwide! Uncounted "systems" and filter types were invented suggesting to smoke not only very pleasantly but even more in a very sophisticated i.e. healthy way. (At least some hindered the pipe from gargling...) As many others did also Linkman / Grabow went as far as asuring the pipe had been developed by the Doctor himself.'' | ''(1) It was a very common use to name pipes "Doctor X's" throughout the 1920's and 1930's worldwide!
