Description

This hand-lettered, double-faced sign originally projected from the facade of the clothing and shoe store. The face is made from tongue-and-groove siding such as what would have been used on the exterior of a house. The sign may have even matched the siding of its building. It has a name signed in the lower right corner, McGinnis.
