I am looking for a picture of an old Sign Shop, early 1900's? I believe it was in one of the early editions, maybe the 1st. or 2nd. The picture showed a corner view. Thank's.....

I've worn them all my life...but the knees are still there. When they started looking ratty I threw them away...now, that's what you pay extra for at the boutique.

Getting back to the photograph, it was interesting that upon further inspection there seems to be not one but 3 sign companies on the same street just down the door from each other. I wonder if they bitched and complained about too many sign companies in town? or "I was here first" How bout, I do things the old way, chisel and rock, not like these modern guys who use paint
You would need at least that many to handle the work load of that city.

I would be happy to buy any early editions. Any cost to ship I will pay.

Look even closer Mike, Yah that's it, I believe we are on a first name basis. There is more down the block, different buildings. Different name. The Scott Sign company at the top of the building, with gold leaf lettering on the right hand side, look a little further and you will see a dark sign that says "sign co." and the name is not all that legible, but that looks like an "l" as the last letter.
Then look even further down the street and you will see individual lettering on a steel frame that says "signs". They are clearly different buildings.

Gee whizz, Rochon, you using a magnifying glass on that pic? And how can you tell it's gold leaf in a black and white picture? What you really need, Rochon, is a good truss fitting, straighten you right out.

Gee whizz yerself Bortz, was it not yourself that said that HAD to be gold leaf because of the way it shined oh so brightly in the shadow?
One doesn't need a magnifying glass, just to be able to see the forest through the trees.
and hell yes, if you look closely there seems to be a pattern on the letters such as leaf lines, so stick that artificial limb "in your pipe" and smoke it
