Wonder what ever became of them (the signs, that is). Looks like most of the buildings are still there.

Thanks for clarifying the location
ScottyB. I admired that
Pep Boys sign as well.
I couldn't help but notice the Wood & Jones Printing Co.

Here are the two gentlemen, Burt Wood on the left and Fred Jones on the right.

And an early example of their work.
TANNER LIVERY SERVICE, business card. 1920'S

And finally, the Wood & Jones building in the mid-1940s.

It still stands today as an Urban Outfitters.

-note that it still says Wood & Jones along the top of the building & on the lower left
as well as their initials on the lower right where it used to say Campbell Seed Store.

Oh, and one last thing that's been bothering me.
Is this a mutant pigeon sitting on the edge of the Union Tire business?

Or does it only appear mutant because it's on a wire closer to the photographer.
If look closely, there
is a wire, but it's several inches
below the 'pigeon'.
