I bought this Alemite sign recently, interesting bit of late 1950s technology that never really took off.

Perry Chief photo of the December 1980 fire at the station. At the time the back 4 bays were being used as rented storage. A sewing machine/vacuum cleaner/shoe repair shop occupied the front of the building. Luckily the fire was caught soon enough, it didn't do much damage to the building itself.
