The Albany, Schenectady, and Troy Blue Book was the official register of high society in the tri-cities. This ad from the 1917-18 edition was clearly aimed right at the blue bloods and patroons. The Albany Safe Deposit & Storage Co., at Maiden Lane and Lodge Streets, offered safes in which to store your silver and furs (insured against moth!). It is unclear what special facilities for ladies would be offered in a safe deposit vault.
