Yesterday I said I'd post a photo of the Talbott's sign, and here it is. I like to be true to my word when it's convenient, and I happened to have a picture. I like this sign a lot.
The company has been going strong since 1924 and is now operated by the third generation of Talbotts. When I was at the store, the man I talked to (I'm guessing it might have been Kirk Talbott) told me the current store is not the original location. I wish I could remember when he said they moved there, but it wasn't too long after the company was founded. Maybe the 1930's or early 40's? I'll bet this sign goes back that far. The hands and feet on the little man seem Disney-influenced.
What's your favorite neon in the Dena?
