That is the address, and another in the crate. Back in the day, TOC, the post office knew where you lived. Tons of mail was sent just to the name of person and city.
So, you've got two different addressees: C. F. Steim and P. W. Westorkey, or whatever correct spelling is, Bridgeport Conn. However, it is possible, with big search, to find the names in the censes which should have the actual house number and street these people lived on.

Finally riding a big boys bike
I may be getting ahead of myself but I believe C.F. Stein was a inventor. He possibly applied for the patents for the Windle Bicycle. (click on link in post above and it shows one of his patents).The Baby Windle bicycle has all of the features listed in the article (Needs No Oil) on the Windle Special Racer. Its like the Baby Windle was a small size (15" frame) version of the Windle Special. I am hoping to get some photos soon and post them.
