Lou,
Also, Mario was not in the business of selling people bike parts, espicially when he was at Ferrier's place. More likely he would be recieving parts to build complete bikes for customers. But I agree now that that address was probably not written on the hub box to send to Mario. I'm warming up to the "Simonetti notepad" story.

It is more likely that if it has Mario's address on it, it was sent to him. Therefore it was most likely addressed TO him by someone else.
It would seem that if someone took the trouble to put his name on the box for shipment that they would have also used the box for the actual shipping container and put postage on the box and taped it shut. It doesn't appear that is the case. And, why put the telephone number on the box? My theory: Mario wason the move after leaving Masi. He was going to be working with other people who also had bicycling stuff about in the same area. He put his address and telephone number on his boxes so that if they got misplaced with someone else's stuff, they could identify it. Now, you would think that the name alone would have sufficed for that, but having the address and telephone number is certainly a more complete way to identify your stuff. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
