Here George Riding added the month and day to his mark.
1940 – Geo. Riding
6 October 20151936 – (F. E.) Flaherty
5 October 2015
10212 Walnut Street
This appears to be the first year F. E. Flaherty abandoned his old racetrack mark. Sometimes he used his initials, sometimes not.
1935 – F. E. Flaherty
4 October 2015
9990 Holly Street
1922 – Hennig
3 October 2015
1427 103rd Avenue
This mark pushes back Otto Hennig’s dates back a few years.
1920 – F. E. Flaherty
2 October 2015
1612 100th Avenue
Assuming I’m correct with the date, this mark establishes F. E. Flaherty at a very early time indeed.
1941 – (J.) Kemble
1 October 2015
1220 102nd Avenue
When he hand-drew his mark, J. Kemble sometimes used his initial, sometimes not. With this example, I now have both types from 1941.
1941 – General Con. Co.
30 September 2015
1320 103rd Avenue
This is a better strike than the previous one I documented several years ago.
103rd and 104th Avenues are interesting. The curbs were laid out without driveways, and each lot had a stamp with its number in the sidewalk. the sidewalk makers also put arrows in the pavement, but I’m not sure what the mark signifies, perhaps the location of the water lines. Each homeowner had to pay a concrete worker to cut out a driveway, and almost all of them are crude and unsigned.
