A pretty good A. Soda mark.

Another poorly exposed Sandin & Swanson mark.

5264 Lawton Avenue

One of three 1914 marks I have by Frank Salamid, each different.

1914 – P. Ryan

5 April 2009

5201 Manila Avenue

P. Ryan obviously made his marks using individual letters. The wire marks on some of the characters are interesting too. P. Ryan may or may not be related to T. A. Ryan, whose dates are later.

1913 – Fred H. Austin

4 April 2009

1913

5248 Boyd Avenue

This is the best Fred Austin mark I’ve seen from 1913; the date also has larger digits.

1912 – The Argentic Concrete Paving Co.

3 April 2009

1912

Lake Shore Avenue and Wayne Avenue

There must be a story behind The Argentic Concrete Paving Co.
