When the shoe shop closed, the sign was given to the Early County Museum. Come visit us! We’ve got lots of interesting and unique things. ~ Janie Thomas
What’s really cool about this picture is that you could remove the two modern vehicles and macadam and replace with model T’s and a dirt road and it would look perfectly natural
Good find ,Brian . Cool sign !
