The Emporium was a department store founded in 1896 in San Francisco, California.

Would anyone know if the Emporium would have had a gunsmithing or gunshop before and after WWI?

Kind of a strange question but I'm trying to track someone down and I know he was working there 1941. He built a custom rifle as early as 1916 and was living in the SF area at that time.

He is listed in the census as a cabinet maker.
