This original took 4 months to paint! I looked at many old
photographs from roughly the 1938 time period.
Many street signs including:
Merit Cut Rate, Dairy Maid, For Rent sign, Seafood Shop
sign, Coca Cola sign, "The Grapes of Wrath" Bill Board sign
Look close again and you will see -
Shops on the street that include:
Fruit 5 Star Store, Bell Telephone Company, a church,
restaurant, Movie Theater playing BoysTown (poster shown
also) spencer Tracy plus another sign with Jezebel (poster
shown) Bette Davis coming soon, a Kresge Co 5 & 10 cents,
Rexall Drugs, A & P with signs including: leg of lamb 25 cents
lb, potatoes 10 lb bag 19 cents, Self Service sign, and Crisco 1
lb. 18 cents and 3 lb 48 cents.
Plus a Bulletin truck - top only showing, cars of the time
period and trucks.
There are many people (30+), and even a policeman directing
traffic in the center of the street.
Oh, and the clock is showing 11:08am under the Hill Co. sign
on the left side.
