3600 Brighton Avenue
This interesting mark was made by Arthur Poblitz, brother of Ernest Poblitz. I assume the two brothers (and possibly third brother Lloyd) usually worked together under the Poblitz name.
1932 – A. Poblitz

And here is the mark of Frederick Schrumpf, right across the street from the Altenheim complex.
1924 – Schrumpf & Kaiser
8 January 2013
Adell Court at Montana Street
I assume that Kaiser was Henry Kaiser. Schrumpf was F(rederick) A. Schrumpf, whose 1928 mark appears here tomorrow.
1918 – Sandin & Swanson

3606 Glen Park Road
This is about as good as Sandin & Swanson marks get.
It’s possible, maybe even likely, that the little cross is a union mark. Cement contractors began to unionize in the 1900s decade, as well documented by Lincoln Cushing.
