• The address is 1879 Clinton Ave., Bronx, which appears to be an apartment building. See this address today in Google Maps.
• Industry: for Joe = NYC(?) Bureau of Highways, and for Ruth = N.Y. State Welfare
• Ruth's income as a stenographer ($1,500) is listed as being a bit higher than Joseph's income as a clerk ($1,300).
• Both Joe and Ruth are listed as being naturalized, but this must be an error on the part of the census taker, since both were born in New York, as the census form indicates.
