S. Elmhurst Avenue and Edes Avenue

D. M. Lee may have been an amateur, but then there are those two straight bars on either side of the mark . . .

6625 Aitkens Drive

Yeah, JCP probably wasn’t the maker of this mark. So sue me. When I’m up in the hills, I take anything I can get.

2518 64th Avenue

This mark appears to be the work of professionals, but the names aren’t familiar.

689 Nevada Street

South Elmhurst’s sidewalks are in sad shape, but a few marks survive there.

2320 65th Avenue

Ed Doty used a curved mark almost exclusively after 1936, but a few dated examples of his previous straight-text mark exist, like this one.

2028 64th Avenue

2439 64th Avenue

Unlike my other example from this year, W. B. Pool used a hand-drawn date.
