The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists C M Jensen at 1095 West Broadway. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Carl M Jensen there as the householder, proprietor of the Li-Art Beauty Parlor, with Esther M Jensen, a hairdresser at the Li-Art Beauty Parlor, and Margaret Jensen, a hairdresser at the Li-Art Beauty Parlor.
Today
The City no longer lists 1095 West Broadway, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources
Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under J. Want a name removed? Tell us.
