I found this old photo of neon sign a few year ago. This is a cool picture as I count 6 or 7 beer signs possible 8 also a coke fish head sign . I have to use a powerful magnifying glass. (40 x) to see it all. I don't know if able to see it all on the computer.. I believe this photo was taken in the early 1940's can see some old car in there. Enjoy the photo.

Re: Old photo of neon sign
I believe that picture is taken on Silver Street in Hurley, WI. The road sign indicating Highway 51 and that US 2 was only 1 mile away indicates this is Hurley. The snow banks are also a tell that this is Hurley.
