This is the earliest date I have for Lindstrom’s racetrack mark. In 1918 he used a straight text mark, and in 1912 he used an oval.
1920 – N. J. Lindstrom

This is as pristine a mark as you will find from 1906.

M. J. McDonough paved a few blocks on Harwood hill in 1922, but this is a handmade mark in the Grand Lake neighborhood. I’ve also found one on 10th Avenue.

Adeline Street at 60th Street
This is right outside Lois the Pie Queen. I don’t like photographing marks in people’s presence, but it was kind of unavoidable. Anyway, I will assume until proven otherwise that this stands for Golden Gate Construction Co.
