This photo is a little bit newer than the "soap box derby" photo that I posted a while back,but this is the same station,now is a Pizza King. This sign was found in this building [in the late '70s] by the owner who was cleaning it out and had thrown it in his dump truck ,My grandpa stopped and got it out and gave it to my dad who has since gave it to me.DATED 1949
