Way, way down by the railroad tracks is this nice mark next to a grand old brick business building.

AJW Construction used two variants of its mark in 2001. This one is about one-third larger than the other, and the lettering fills the oval more completely.

2110 Market Street
I have now completely surveyed Market Street, and like other major thoroughfares it has few sidewalk stamps. Big contractors seem to have repaved large stretches of these streets when they were first upgraded, and only a few remnants of earlier paving were preserved. Luckily this turned up on one of the last blocks I checked.
