Hugo Music Center
Hugo Music Center was situated at 5889 Easton Avenue at the intersection of Hamilton Boulevard. You cannot find Easton Avenue today because in 1972 it was renamed to Dr Martin Luther King Jr Drive [1]. The building no longer stands as of 2019, likely from a fire in 2016 [5].

I was only able to find legal documents for Hugo Music Inc which was created in 1959 by a Mr Victor E Hugo Jr. Advertisements and other documents point to the business existing for around 10 years prior so this online document might not be the most accurate representation. The business was dissolved in 1971 due to a failure to register the business again so we can assume it had folded no later than that date [2].

Notable Instruments
According to a forum post on MyLesPaul.com, a 1959 Burst was sold through Hugo Music Center and was attributed by the badge on the original case [3].
