I have included whatever identifying information I could and none of them included any dates. Hopefully people who have an interest either in urban history, signs, art, cultural history, photography, or whatever other subject area they have an interest in, will enjoy these pictures.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IvaOIecZWes/SpHYYg4ytiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1zbVx_LZoAU/s1600-h/americandrug.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IvaOIecZWes/SpHYYg4ytiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1zbVx_LZoAU/s320/americandrug.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373313746086311458" border="0" /></a>American Drug<br />298 Huguenot Street<br />New Rochelle, NY<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1418213249840699730-4045490669331869473?l=aaronsigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04918485818662783191noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1418213249840699730.post-50178078375903363532009-07-13T17:55:00.000-07:002009-10-18T12:43:32.242-07:00My late father-in-law operated a sign company for many years, Aaron Signs. For decades he, and earlier he and his father Sam Aaron, made countless signs in NYC and the metropolitan area. After my mother-in-law found a bag which contained dozens of pictures of some of the signs that they made, I decided to post them on the internet. I thought that they offered a nice snapshot of urban history. While most of them are from New York City, there are a number from Westchester County. They made many signs with the Coca-Cola name so Coca-Cola buffs may also enjoy them.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1418213249840699730-5017807837590336353?l=aaronsigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04918485818662783191noreply@blogger.com1
